Bulletin:

Hey everyone, hope this is the right place to post something like this. I thought I'd take some time, and scope out some new forums, specifically in search of new peeple and artists, and new webcomics. About a year or two ago I started a webcomic, just as a kind of joke or challenge, and decided as an artist I'd use it as a tool to better myself. The idea was that if I have to make myself draw at least one page a week to get better at drawing, story telling, anatomy, etc.

I also said I wouldn't go back and fix old pages, unless it was an error involving the story. The idea is to see my journey through my comic. To see my good pages, to see my bad pages, and there are some bad ones. Haha, and durring certain times in my life I look back, and see I didn't have time to ink this one, or I was trying to color differently here. It's pretty cool and has been a great experience.

I really hope that by the end I'll be so comfortable drawing, that I won't struggle with the comic anymore, you know? It'd be great to just sit, pump out a page, and not break a sweat. That day hasn't come yet. =P But some things seem more easy anyway.

I'd say judging from my hit counters I've gained about 3000 readers (whom I love) over this time. Which is pretty rad, I had no idea if that is a lot of not though, in the webcomic numbers I mean. Let me know if you know. ^_^ I have friends who have way better numbers. I posted on drunkduck for a while, met a lot of great creators there, a few I see who post here, and a couple who've been picked up by big companies which is also pretty cool.

This is a bit cross posted, so I hope I don't anger anyone. I just really wanted to reach out into every comic forum I could find, and try to meet new artists and creators, show you guys my work, and I'd love to see your work. Story driven webcomics are a major interest of mine, but I don't know of that many really. Share your favorites if you would. ^_^

Here are some links to my work if you're interested. You'll be able to see such changes in my work from over the years. I'd also love to see yours if you want to share it. Feel free to post it in this thread if that is allowed on this forum. ^_^
