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.

Shut the fuck up. I gave them genuine pointers because they legit have a promising comic that I got some dopamine looking at even though it wasn't great. If all you do is shit on it without any praise then a creator might as well throw it away. Kill yourself. Sonichu was fucking trash, you trog. Saying that it has any redeeming qualities is being intentionally dishonest.

Promising in what regard?

By subjecting the venerable, HIGH-BROW and SOPHISTICATED audience that is the Community Happenings thread regulars to the atrocity that is Gehr.Zine monsigneur Dees has thrown the gauntlet directly down and had his artshole rightfully stretched as a result. Where exactly the issue lies with this, I can imagine not.

uh, yeah - usually you discard the especially bad pieces in your portfolio, which the thread's entire OP would constitute.

Wrong as always, stalker. For one, it was so fucking bad that it was fascinating to read - at the very least, in a "how much worse can it possibly get?" sense; for two, it actually contributed to the creation of KF default theme's background. Not really seeing either being the case for this here.

yeah mate, I owe every dime-a-dozen budding artist asspats AND a detailed explantation of where they went wrong. Get over yourself.


@Vect As if one has to be an expert on fine cuisine to say that a sloppily made taco blows ass. However, you may head on over to my profile's About page to see the KF-specific catalogue.

First, you scum-sucking&fucking cretin mongoloid, we separate the art from artist here - for I have nothing personal against the OP, and yet his comic is objectively lacking, as previous posters politely pointed out.

Second, do prove that @liam dees is NOT a mother-shagging niggerfaggotretard directly ripping off Rage Comics, please.

edit: sorry i don't really mean the insults - "scum-sucking fucking" just sounds funny as shit turbostory.png

You think Sonichu is better than this. I've been following Chris's comic since I joined in 2016. It's not good. Like, at all. It doesn't have anything going for it. It doesn't look good, it doesn't read well, it's heavily derivative of a multitude of games and shows. There is little semblance of a plot (but at least there is one, which is more than can be said for OP's comic currently).
 
I see the zoomerisms and lol-randomness of the comic as a reflection of the times. It is not unlike internet comics from over a decade ago that would shoehorn in memes from their own period, though if humor be the goal in this series specifically, you must reflect on what has the capacity to transcend current cultural trends.
It's been a very long while since I've read any webcomic, and there isn't any criticism I have that would not be redundant to the posts prior. The art has much potential, yet the writing remains wanting.

Well... yeah. Have you read it? It had GRIPPING plot on par with Tails Gets Trolled, atrocious fucking art, the retardedest of one-liners and iconic characters from the get-go. This? Not so.

Also, Chris didn't have one of the most viewed threads on KF to thrust his creation upon - it was all true and honest organic growth. Though if the OP leads to the creation of a forum to rival KF, I'll eat my words with glee.

Chris had thousands of readers thanks to sites like ED and this very CWCki Forums. It was because of the art creator that his comics became known. He didn't get readers organically because they liked the comic. He got readers solely because of his behavior. That's not organic. That's byproduct. His comic would have few readers if he weren't such a major sperg. You say separate the art from the artist. No one would care about the art if not for the spergery that is Chris. Half of the shit from the comic is BECAUSE the art wasn't separated from the artist and the events of trolls influenced the comics' events.

Sonichu was awful and worse than this. It never improved after fifteen years of running. OP has the opportunity to improve via criticism and recommendation. Just saying "IT'S FUCKING GAY AND YOU SUCK" isn't the way to do it. You'd know this if you understand how the creation of art works.

Well, GOOD DAY, SIR - if you weren't longing for an epic dunk #TRIGGERTHELIBS #OWNTHELIBS, you could have read my reply to Vecr and seen that I do, in fact, know - at least a little bit - what the fuck I'm talking about when it comes to artmaking.

Not here to give heckin' constructive criticismerino; quite the opposite, I came -specifically- just to be a fucking asshole.

Happy to help.
 
Has the post from community happenings been deleted? What happened!? It was fun seeing it collect stickers.
 
Criticism:
1. I cannot tell the characters apart from each other. If they're supposed to be siblings or twins, give them differentiating features. Imagine if Mario and Luigi looked the same and wore the same clothes, but kept their same personalities. That is Gehr and Eine right now.

2. This reads more like a random-access-humor rage comic than something that's supposed to be remotely concise. I don't know if that's the direction you want to go but personally (and subjectively) I don't dig it too much.

3. There are a few Kiwis that release their own artistic / programming work publicly, and they take massive precautions to not get on the bad side of kiwis or ruin their OPSEC. I bet you were there for the whole Monostar Leatherknuckles debacle weren't you? I would suggest taking a look at some of them like CrunkLord420 and see how you can improve upon your presentation.

4. Right now the Gumroad link is front and center - most of the people here have their image of Gumroad as a subscription service for low effort artfags.
I would move the link down to the bottom of the OP and add a massive disclaimer or something, and start posting the issues here in the thread itself, since you mentioned it'd be free. I imagine the majority that'd be interested would be Kiwis anyway and they don't want to go offsite to read rage comics.

There are people that WILL shit on you. Don't forget which website you're on. Best to keep doing whatever you're doing if you're satisfied with it. Just don't try to be a grifter or force this down people's throats and I think you'll be fine.

I don't think the bolded part is true and you even admit as much yourself. If you swap a couple of words out it could've just as easily been made 10-20 years ago, but the problem is that type of humor was always geared towards tweens and adults with a terminal case of arrested development so it comes off as a cynical attempt at pandering to the lowest common denominator. There's a pitfall some people end up falling into where they try for mass appeal too hard and end up making something that feels like entertainment for tards.

While I personally think this sort of entertainment product (because it shouldn't be called art) is irredeemable trash, there is a paying audience for it elsewhere. The most applicable critique here is that he has something marketable (even if I think it's shit) but doesn't understand who to sell it to and where, which would realistically be a much younger demographic on a mainstream platform, though it's tainted now that he's associated the "brand" with this site, so he'll probably have to start from scratch under a different name if he wants to go for that audience with something similar.
 
Eh, I've seen not one, not two, but loads of really crudely drawn comix with far less of a plot than this sell for €10+ a pop at art fairs.

Get this printed in Riso and you might as well have a licence to print your own banknotes, my dude.

Things can only go up from here. I will be releasing new comix here for free, so please be patient.
