I think it's cool you've taken some personal initiative. HOWEVER let's just say it needs more work.

Unsolicited advice: focus on your story and dialogue more. Have it stand on its own without any art.

Make sure you have something to say as an author and an artist.

If you want to say aliens are a government psyop, then do it. Come up with a clever way to get the audience on your side. Show us the government office where they plan and execute the psyop. Who works there? What do they say? What do they do? Why do they do it? Where's the conflict? What's funny or ironic about it?

If you are going to go through the trouble of doing the work, take a risk.

Solicit and value critical feedback; it's way more useful than people blowing smoke.

The formmating fucked up the ASCII and now he looks like he's got little T-rex arms.
 
Trying is always better than not bothering at all, but this is way too "reddit-coded", for lack of a better way of putting it, for advertising it on a site like this to work out all that well.
 
I did have Krita but didn't like working with it. I will check Clip Studio out, sucks that it has a monthly subscription plan. Thanks for the suggestions!
there is a one time payment option for clip studio. at least for certain devices and such. it's the mobile version that has a subscription plan

if you can figure a way to use your ipad as a drawing tablet on a pc or mac, like astropad, you get the best of both worlds

If you use Windows, you can crack it instead of paying it. It's legal to crack Photoshop and use a firewall on it; but it's better to use whichever app fits you, Clip Studio or Krita.
 
not too appreciative of the CAN I HAZ CHEEZBURGER writing style, but I like the artstyle, this aside you deserve a big KILL YOURSELF FAGGOT for shilling in the community happenings thread, keep it up!
wasnt there some autistic niglet who did the same thing a few months ago? am I watching a rerun?
 
Great artwork, really love the style. It has a touch of your own uniqueness that I very much enjoy. You are undoutedly a very talented artist and your sense of composition is excellent and entirely appropriate for a comic format.

But, and I mean this in the most constructive way possible, your writing is fucking awful. It reads like something a 6 year old would come up with when his teacher asks him what he did over the weekend. I get that you're going for 'all audiences', but your story writing is insulting to both adults and children with half a functioning brain cell. Take your first issue - there's no character development. It is never established what the relationship between Gehr and Erie is, what motivates them, or why they're the main characters of the comic. They are completely unrelatable. In addition, there's essentially no differentiation between them. All that is established is that one of them believes in aliens and the other doesn't. This might sting, but CWC has more coherent story writing than what you're offering here.

Again, great artwork, but you are let down by your writing. Improve and people might actually pay for the comic. Following to see your progress, don't disappoint me.
 
This is way better and more genuine than Monostar Leatherknuckles.

I won't reiterate the issues with your writing but that's my biggest issue with your work.

Given your stick-man art style - fine as is - your color work could give more facet and depth to your simple characters. A pass over your characters with established character design rules would also give them a distinct silhouette and help with blocking and framing perspective .

Good start, good luck.

not to be modest but red mist has wide ranging and thought provoking storylines and characters, badass heroes like Bai Dong Suk. I'm glad you liked lube who's talking though

"your mouth brings forth untold pleasures" was a bit too high brow for the intended audience I'll admit

I'll admit I didn't really know how to react to this post at first. It's one thing when someone presents their dogshit webcomic for us to laugh at, it's another thing when someone presents their... sort-of-okayish webcomic? Where there's not really anything to mock but you're just left wondering why the fuck they chose to advertise it here.
 
Really brave of you to actually release a comic these days as it comes with the strong possibility that will end up with some retarded henchman stalking you and pissing on the graves of your ancestors. Godsneed.
That's only if he uses 3d assets.
 
I decided to stop being lazy and properly shill my comic and the Gumroad store where I sell them.
The fact you're attempting to gain monetarily from... this... personally offends me. God damn. :story: Well done!

I did have Krita but didn't like working with it.
NGMI.

Looks like a decently funny comic...
...it's really good for a first-timer.
Respect for making your own stuff...
Don't listen to @The Snail.

Great artwork, really love the style.

Esteemed gentlemen and ladies: I would like to take this opportunity to inform you all that you're fucking retarded and if this is the standard you're going to encourage, then you should proceed immediately to eating shit - for taste-wise it would be about on par with enjoying the comic strip in question.

Are you goddamn out of your mind? Sonichu was better than this.

@liam dees Perhaps soyjak dot party would be the more appropriate platform to share your work, you wetbrained fucking wetback. (no offense)

So the main problem with the comic right now is...
...that it exists. Fix it.
