I haven't been around for a while, so... apologies if someone beat me to this one.

What are your favorite Christmas movies? They don't even have to be ABOUT Christmas. Just something you traditionally watch over break. :)

The One Blue Gecko: have you ever tried film or photography? I'm not an expert on composition, but you seem to have a good eye for framing an image (something I always valued in one of my favorite movies, The Crow). Keep up the great work there.

My latest page: cyberpunk noir?

After you've done comics for a while, you get better at it.
Then you look back at your old stuff and you hate it.

Except whenever someone "takes a break" so that they can "redo the old pages," the comic dies. They give up and never come back. So I wouldn't recommend that.

Weirdly, my comic hasn't even gotten started. The majority of the stories are about dimension travel, and we've spent the past 80 pages on space travel. *shrug*

When my comic is late (like it is right now -- I'm about to upload the page, dang it!) I feel disappointed in myself, and frustrated that work kept me from getting more done. I just try harder. I think consistent updates ARE important to keeping serious readers. Lord knows I've given up on a few comics because they just never update anymore.

Then again, there are two of my old favorites (Zebra Girl and Elf Only Inn) which I will always check, forever. Because they ran for a long time, they were good, and I even feel a little bit like I "know" their artists. So if your comic is good enough it may not make too much difference.

Honestly, though, I don't know how an artist could appraise his own comic that way.

I'm with Sabrini's initial comment.

I won't complain if .gifs are forbidden as avatars or signatures. But the whole point of the main page is to advertise the latest updating comic. The whole point of those images are to go "Psst! Check me out!" If .gifs are out because they're too distracting and eye-catching, well, what about all the people who use adorable chibis, or big ol' boobs? WHERE DOES IT END?!! WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN

Edit: on a forum, things repeat A LOT. So while I wouldn't have thought of banning .gifs, I can totally understand why they'd be annoying in a sig or an avatar.

I think this thread does a good job of illustrating where the drama with dA really is.

Too many people. Too many KINDS of people. Like YouTube, or New York, or the actual real life world of reality. Opinions collide constantly.

That's why the "groups" feature is such a great addition. And maturity is key. The more willing you are to let remarks about your niche slide *cough*getusedtoitifyoureafurry*cough* the better you'll get along with others.

I would say that depends too, Doomy.

If you art is exceptional, and/or if your art is anime, you won't really need to do anything at all. True.

Otherwise, you'll have to return comments, thank for fav's, return watches if you're forming relationships, give away "llamas" ... all those silly things that give people incentive to come back for more.

Depending on what you post on dA, and the amount of work you're willing to put into networking, it can be very helpful.

When I was a teenager, most of my watchers were people who were into the same fandom as me. I didn't get much constructive feedback from them, although I did make some good friends.

Nowadays, my art is a little better, and I get a lot of GREAT constructive feedback from even greater artists. I don't post (much) of my comic there, but I do post related art that gets a LOT more lovin' than my comic usually does. And after a few years of this, I have a VERY encouraging following.

dA won't give you instant fame, obviously. And subscribers are much easier to come by here on ComicFury. So really it just depends on what you're willing to put into and get out of it.

Awesome! Great plot, by the way. (And the light bulb thing? Totally adorable.)

I really appreciate this opportunity. The issue playing currently will be finished in a few weeks, and then I'll be posting filler and the new cover.

Nice to meet you, Erin!

It's just when Kyo sends you a message? I guess?

How many infractions lead up to a ban? None to any?

Apologies if this has already been discussed in detail, but I searched the site several times through Google and found nothing. Although I did end up on the Deutsch ComicFury, which was magical and awesome. ;)

Mainly I'm just curious. There doesn't seem to be anything on the site explaining them, much like referrals.

WOW, Houston, you don't waste time! Also, this is really cool!

In the past, it's usually a link with a brief "this person is awesome and I know them through the ____ work they do." But I don't mind giving a brief description if you want one. You can pick the phrasing even!

All you gotta do is draw a cover for us. (We'll need one starring this guy in about two weeks.)
Or some filler.
Or some fanart.

And I will link your face off.

Haha, yeah, I think the main idea was to draw in other people who also dislike hipsters.

I love that racism and homophobia are out, but other forms of prejudice are fine. ;)

Hate is hate, and hate is bad. But Daniel's comic is pretty good, more thought out and venty than hateful, so I'm cool with it. Let's not read into things just because he tongue-in-cheekily announced himself as a hater.

People make fun of my subculture(s) all the time, and usually it's in such an idiotic way that it barely even registers for me. If people thought out the problems of Goth or Christianity the with the same effective way that Daniel thinks out hipsters, then Goths AND Christians might be better off for it -- we'd have a good look at ourselves.

You know what I don't understand about hipsters? Their obsession with handlebar mustaches.

I must say, I am enjoying watching you work out your issues.
Hate is pretty sucky, but you've somehow managed to channel it into one of the more interesting comics I've stumbled onto 'round these parts.

Remember the German kids from Persepolis? It's like that, only it lasts longer. Kind of gratifying. :)

As a conservative Christian, I demand that EVERYONE STOP LAUGHING. IMMEDIATELY!
God hates jokes.

Your Facebook account is probably still hanging out, waiting to be re-activated. You can never actually delete it, silly goose.

I think there should be more than a fine for privacy violation. It should be considered a more serious violation.

Read this article yesterday night.

Discuss.

Just last week, I ripped a page out of my sketchbook and started over.

And sometimes you just need to try again tomorrow.

That's not what makes my comic late, though. It's the fact that it's currently a collaboration, and sometimes we don't both have enough time in the week to wait for each other.
