Title: My new web comic for SRS
Post by: Midgear on January 26, 2013, 02:24:15 AM
So I just started a new TG comic  I only have one page for now, I am going to be updating this page once a week and there is a possibility for more updates. So read a cool comic should be good!

What a clever idea, using your art to earn SRS money!

You have a very good art style and the comic is off to a good start.  As Rain is the only trans* webcomic currently updating yours is a welcome addition.

However, one caveat, the donation page's lowest option is $35.  As a retiree $35 is a significant sum.  I would be glad to contribute to your fund but can only donate a smaller amount, say $20 but I did not see an "other amount" entry.  There are probably others in this low end tax bracket so adding a button like this would be helpful.  Ten or twenty buck contributions will not get you to your goal as quickly as you would like but money is money.

'Just something to think about.

Patty

The comics are one image. so any rss programs and the like should read them fine.

I was thinking about adding 2 more "characters" into the comic.

what do you all think?

Only if they can only be heard by themselves and make snide comments to each other.

For example:
One of the characters holding one of them and making baby noises at it; saying "Who's my widdle man? Are you a big mean ferret?"

The ferret says "Cool it sister, I'm taken" But only the other ferret hears it.

Stuff like that...

I'm curious, how far in advance have you already written comics?  I know Scott Adams (the Dilbert guy) has strips done about two months before they're published.

I think some of that has to do with newspaper syndication, but I could be wrong!

I am, however, just as curious to know how much Mids has planned!

Post by: Midgear on February 18, 2013, 06:23:42 PM
I cant do to much in advanced with this comic because there could suddenly be a character I need to add in. Just today I had a new character I needed to put in the background in the next few comics.

Then there is the fact I hate making comics in advance I like putting them out as soon as I make them.
Also if I have a buffer of comics I will not make one every day because in my mind "I'm good for the next X days." then once I run out of the buffer I don't feel like making another comic because I'm out of the groove and I can't remember what I was doing with the story. One or two comics I have done in the past have died because of that.

My process is this:
Open my comic template.
Stare at the screen for 10 to 30 minutes thinking.
Have an epiphany.
Put the dilog into the comic.
Read it 3 or 4 times and see if it funny.
Draw the comic.
Post it up on my page for the next day.
Do it again if needed.

Wow, suddenly turned serious! OMG this is the best comic I've ever seen. Awesome story!! *hugs*

The last couple panels are potentially triggering, just fyi. Maybe start at the beginning if you haven't read it recently.

I will accept said hug and give one in return.    \ (◕‿◕✿) /

The comic is a dramedy (comedy / drama) with the enfaces on comedy. So expect a shift in theme every now and then.

Oh yeah, not a prob! fwiw, this is the first time I've ever read a "serial" (ongoing) comic, usually the comics (except for like, "Mary Worth", and "Prince Valiant") just have a single panel, or perhaps 2-3 panels in sequence...yours is really good. It actually makes me smile (which, if you knew me, is hard to do)
