i wouldn't call it too big of a flub, the comic still reads just fine.

like.

great work.

did this hostility occur while i was gone? i've never even heard of another comic battle site until now

i honestly think it would work better with a little warmer gray.

I suppose, among a few other things, Dragon Ball Z brought me here. i was reading a dragonball z fan magazine (back in the days that if i could travel back to in a time machine, i'd have kicked my sorry little anime faggot ass all the way to this site) and it had an article about Akira Toriyama's website. it was there that i found a link to a site called "busterkids" which was Maximo Lorenzo AKA 'crazybee' and some other person. it led me to his deviantart, which was filled with the funniest, best looking (that i had seen at the time. untill then i was on manga, once i saw that indie style, i was never the same) comics about this hampster named Del. eventually through watching Maximo on deviantart, i saw some comics he had made here, and i popped over.

What made me stay was partly the fact that in 2005-2006ish my mom had 2 heart attacks rapid fire, and subsequently had a quadrouple bypass. it was a rough year or two for me, and i spent it pretending to be good at art, and being overall a complete fucking cock shiner to all you fine people.

which is the other reason i've stayed (well, come back i suppose.) all you people have helped me grow as an artist comparably, as much as the art institute of pittsburgh is. i needed every critique any of you gave me, and you also gave my douchbag early teenage ass the harsh tough fucking love he needed to stop being a douchebag pretender, grow the fuck up, and focus on comics. People like sheldon and james are the kind of people i aspire to be, not in style, but in tenacity and dedication.

and i doubt sheldon and james are even the people they're aspiring to be right now. if i'm not, why should they be. so as i climb the ladder, i know it will only get longer.

but that's the fun. and even angie with her 30 page comics and immaculate colors can't police that shit.

nice

love that sophisticated, but seemingly late, eyeball

Just found this, but no time to read it. i'll have to check it out after work today

I'll tell you what, for nothing else, it's really cool to see my art then side by side with my art from like last year/early this year.

i thought that about everyone when i pasted it together.

Port & Gord, if you're interested.

haha, when i saw them, he was the first person i thought of

Well dead thread or no it still stands as the longest running photo thread here.

So here is my face:



And here is my face currently sans chin whiskers:



I had to grow facial hair for a comedic role, Rudolph the Head Waiter in The Matchmaker, but they didn't tell me what type of facial hair I had to have so I grew a presentable goatee. Then I was told that I needed to get ride of the chin fuzz and keep a mustache... which I was sad about because I liked that goatee and also I look like my Dad in the 90's. 

(don't worry about the size and angle, I fixed it on Photobucket so it will right itself... eventually...)

total win.
