Yeah, I still like Pokemon...

...and I'm only slightly ashamed.

I think I've learned my lesson with style of shading vs. line style

forget about the fucking neck, the whole fucking face is distorted

Not even gonna disagree. This one's gross.

This one came out worse, imo.
I'm not really a fan of soft shading, I think it looks kind of cool on the fabric, but her hair is fuuuuuuuucked.

mhm. i want to start learning how to paint but i'm not really sure which program i'm going to end up using. it's pretty much a matter of preference it seems.

It's always good to be fluent in photoShop, but I generally like the way the tools in Sai behave more.
I'll probably be using them in tandem, which seems like the best path to take imo.

you can do all the same things in photoshop, it'll just take more skill.

With all due respect, those sound like the words of somebody who is reluctant to flow with the times, not learning to do something a new way because the old way is better.
I'm not too worried about being turned down from jobs because of which program I use, either. Sai can export as photoshop documents, as well.

why are his headphones disconnected?

Oh, he's designed to be easy to animate :y
eventually the middleman is cut out, and he gets headphones that don't have the band.

stick to Sai. it out-dose itself every time

Oh gee whiz.
It's actually so boss.

Fixed an old character design.


I used Sai, it's actually pretty rad. I assumed it was just some weird program that weaboos use.

I wanna close my Facebook, so I can feel cool when I proceed to tell everyone I don't have Facebook.

"dude look at this show, its so awful" "damn bro that is horrible, im gonna send that to 1000 people"

I reeeeeally don't like how true that is.

how many are? i can't even think of one.

Like half of Teletoon, man. (Canadian channel, it's like the cartoon network)

-totally spiez and it's fifty spin-offs
-Chaotic (the newer one)
-Bakugan

But that's just off the top of my head.
Crappy western anime is being marketed to the average weaboo child like it's nobody's business.
This show has supposedly already won awards, and if it gains a following, it'll only propagate the awfulness.

then there's the generally crappily animated junk like
-total drama island
-JoHnNy TeSt... which is apparently the only show thats ever fucking on

I'm starting to think that shitty half-anime is going to be the next major art movement.
How many running kids shows aren't a sloppy Japanese influenced pile of disgust?
Children of today will grow up NOT vomiting at the sight of this.
I'm legitimately afraid.

Anal... Cunt?

So, Great-revolver added me on skype.
I didn't know who he was or where he was from, so I just figured I'd wait for him to bring it up.
Then this happened. What's happening?

[7:19:18 PM] best pal John: rude

What?

I like how out of all the suggestions I made, nothing changed and halftones were added (the one thing I felt was a useless detail to the actual issues).

Yeah, sorry about that. I'm going to apply your advice in the next page, I'm sick of this one for the time being. When I'm done this story arc I'll probably go back and fix all of the lettering issues. I'm trying to find a groove... :I
I'm also hoping that everything makes more sense with the next page. If not, I'll definitely rewrite the script, and not use actual chat-logs.
Also, CVG, I'm interested in your published comic, what's it called?

'shit' is pretty descriptive

Heh heh, you're rude.

Yeah, on the next page, a conversation with "Shawg" (the girlfriend) begins.

I THINK I fixed that one confusing panel? Muh.
Here's the finshed(?) page. I think I might as well just move on. The first page of a webcomic is usually shitty anyway.
are there any glaring mistakes that need fixing?

I want to be immortal so I can animate foreverrrrr
[spoiler] ...Imean-- procrastinate forever... [/spoiler]

Because Radwalrus's pic is broken, here's another one of him.

Wow, Alex, you sure did post that photo.
If you're gonna post a photo from that movie, you might as well upload it! GOD. SERIOUSLY.

Anyway, I'm not that horrible, I promise.

This is getting good!

Eeeeuuuuuggghhhhh. The awkwardness of the conversation is just too much.
