Re: Garfield (Garbage) Dump Thread Episodie (?) A Nermal Dump
I got a letter from somebody in prison, asking if he could have any of my mini-comics for the prison zine library (he got my info from a zine that reviews other minis and zines).
I'll be happy to send him something, but yeah, this was out of nowhere.

Re: Garfield (Garbage) Dump Thread Episodie (?) A Nermal Dump
I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but someone in my neighborhood owns a Tesla Model S. One of the older ones from when they still had fake grills. I used to see it a fair bit in the parking lot of a local business (which, given that this is rural Ohio, there's a good chance he owns). Also, he has the "some asshole yanked my power plug while it was charging" alarm enabled and frequently leaves town overnight in some other vehicle. I know this because on two separate occasions, we've had a power outage at around bedtime and I could immediately hear a car alarm in the distance, which did not shut off for over half an hour.
I also have no idea why he even has the alarm enabled, since it's not like anyone around here doesn't have a garage. Either way, methinks the wall adapter ought to have a backup battery to allow it to keep pinging the car with reassurance that it's technically still plugged in even if it's not sending power.

[How to become a furry]
Wait, does this mean that furries who are artists/some kind of designer and have a fursona are the vast majority of furries? That sounds like so much effort I'm surprised, if true.DaikatunaRevengeance wrote: ↑Sun Aug 04, 2019 6:59 am1. pick an animal you like
2. draw yourself as said animal
optional: consider modifying said animal giving yourself features that it doesn't have irl or fantasy elements
Very math.

Re: Garfield (Garbage) Dump Thread Episodie (?) A Nermal Dump
you can replace 2 with "commision an artist to draw your idea" and friends can also help you with any design challenges even before that
plus, it's not like you need a fursona, it's just a lot of people like having them

Re: Garfield (Garbage) Dump Thread Episodie (?) A Nermal Dump
In retrospect, I'm fairly certain that a lot of my motivation in learning how to draw was so that there could be more art of my ponysona.

I wish I could draw well. I’ve always wanted to be able to make my own comics.

Re: Garfield (Garbage) Dump Thread Episodie (?) A Nermal Dump
i started three months ago and what i did was download a bunch of screenshots from steven universe and just try to draw one each day
even if i missed some, sometimes even missing a whole week, i still have been seeing improvement
so like, i dunno, if i had a suggestion it's just try it and see what happens

"talent" isn't a requirement for drawing, i'm not even sure if there is such a thing as a talent for drawing

Anyone can do draw, write, cook, etc. It takes talent and passion to do those things well.

Re: Garfield (Garbage) Dump Thread Episodie (?) A Nermal Dump
I mean, with comics ideas and writing IS the most important part. Otherwise things like XKCD wouldn't become huge hits. And if you've checked out the "Arnold" thread I did, that strip had a cult following, but the drawings in the strip were on the, um, "naive" side. Really, you just need to be consistent with it.DaikatunaRevengeance wrote: ↑Tue Aug 06, 2019 5:38 pm"talent" isn't a requirement for drawing, i'm not even sure if there is such a thing as a talent for drawing
I know you can write well, Madeline, and you have great ideas. If you need help with comics, you know how to contact me.

Re: Garfield (Garbage) Dump Thread Episodie (?) A Nermal Dump
If there's one thing I've learned, it's that the world of comics is full of people who can write and can't draw, and people who can draw and can't write, and of those two only the former ever end up creating anything worthwhile. Of the comics I can think of that are known for great artwork and bad writing, they are all of a highly questionable nature and almost all of their creators eventually pivoted to drawing equally-questionable commissions full time.

Re: Garfield (Garbage) Dump Thread Episodie (?) A Nermal Dump
I think another thing about who who-can-draw-but-can't-write is that some of them really just use comics as a way of building up their portfolio for illustration gigs (whether for comic books or something unrelated to comics). I always get he feeling that they aren't really interested in comics all that much, at least enough to make it a regular thing they do, and just use it as a stepping stone for better things.Pocket wrote: ↑Tue Aug 06, 2019 8:33 pmIf there's one thing I've learned, it's that the world of comics is full of people who can write and can't draw, and people who can draw and can't write, and of those two only the former ever end up creating anything worthwhile.

gotta say that as ads for shitty mobile games on social media go, being non-sequiturish to the point of (unintentional?) comic absurdity is a step up from the usual shit I see

Re: Garfield (Garbage) Dump Thread Episodie (?) A Nermal Dump
always the most important thing I tell creators and creator hopefuls: Make the most indulgent shit you can. Seriously. create what makes you happy, no matter how silly or bad you think it should make you feel because you think random snarky assholes on the internet will hate it. if you're creating for yourself, really MAKE it for yourself, what do their dumbass opinions matter on something that is uniquely you and makes you happy

Re: Garfield (Garbage) Dump Thread Episodie (?) A Nermal Dump
the only judgement at that point is: Did making this make me feel something positive in some shape or form? Did I make progress with something, did I invest my effort in something I care about? then you did it right
doesn't matter if you wrote 5 words or War and Peace, doesn't matter if you drew your fursona or you painted the Sixtine Chapel, if you fucking loved that shit then you win
if you have any reason at all to enjoy what you made, hell yeah, embrace it, internet cynicism can go eat a cactus

the obvious caveat is that what you're making isn't like mega reprehensible shit like, I dunno, pro-nazi propaganda or something, but that should go without saying and nobody here would do that so hell yeah full steam ahead for your happy indulgences, folks!!!

I can't empty quote this enough. Seriously, just write what makes you happy as long as it's not harmful.
