I'm making a webcomic

You should check it out :3
not much to comment on atm, but the sketches of the main character seem pretty solid
I don't know anything about webcomics but I think having maybe 5 or 6 pages of solid content ready to view the moment you starting linking people to it would be a much better way of keeping their attention than just one page where nothing is happening
not too sure how i feel about forcing a webcomic template on a blog template. i suppose it kind of works. might get annoying to browse in the future if it gets long
rtil I have no idea how to set up websites or servers so this is how I'm gonna run with it

Absolutely right. Unfortunately I don't have time to draw up 5-6 pages at once... maybe I'll post some more filler stories while I get the bigger pages going
it's really not that hard to learn on your own. i think if you're gonna survive as an artist in today's world you should at least have your own website. there's a ton of free software you can install on it that does all the code work for you
Wordpress and Comicpress are your friends for things like this
looks nice bro :DDDDD
Is his glove speaking scribbles part of the mystery.
The current story is supposed to establish the suckiness of his life and how he goes hungry every day. I'm also attempting to introduce the huge plot element of never knowing if what he's seeing is fantasy or reality

new page up! It's completely unrelated to the current story (because layouts are HARD)

tbh right now im like "heh" because theres nothing that will entertain me for a while, but I like the art/story. I think Ill enjoy it a lot more once youve got more pages completed.
gl!

yea
i think it's better if you illustrate your story instead of give it all away before the 3rd page
It's nice to see you expanding on this character. I enjoyed his cartoon short because of its innocence and wonder and the blurring of fantasy and reality was a great mix (especially like at the end with the guy and his watch and you wonder if he really WAS in a giant ship). Good luck with this, I hope you make more pages soooon. ^^ *bookmarks*

interactive panels y/n?
y
seems pretty cool I guess but I would discourage any further updates that aren't new pages
That interactive panel is tight. You should definitely do that.
if you can get it to work properly it might be cool. i would suggest that once a panel is revealed it doesn't fade away. otherwise the viewer never gets to see the full completed page

yea the older panels fading out made it feel a little bit uncomfortable for me, the idea is good though, it helps keep the reader from looking ahead.
