This piece was inspired by something I saw on Ebaum's World a while back. And it is thusly in the catagory IBE (Inspired By Ebaum's). I think the most enjoyable thing about drawing this comic was the homeless dude, err, I mean Peter Pan. Mostly because it's outside my comfort zone to draw normal innocent people doing normal innocent things. I wanted to detail him to perfection, but it would have made the Kid and his mother look like a load of crap (more so than they already do). :(
I also tried something new with the speech bubbles. You'll notice I've chosen to use the most overused (but very nice looking) font for comics. I kind of stole both ideas from Boffo, who probably ripped it off of somewhere else. So far I've stolen his layout, and now his speech bubbles and font. Next thing you know I might steal his not often used characters *coughhotpocketcough* and style and put them in weird situations (it's totally an option I've already jotted down as an idea).
My comic is officially a week old now. This being my second actual submission, I can only guarantee more. As the week went by, I probably came up with enough ideas to last me a year. At that rate I'll come up with enough ideas for many years after just one.
I love the freedom that this comic allows me, it truly grasps the idea of just sort of going with the flow. The only problem I seem to be having is choosing which idea I like most and whether or not a week will allow me to draw the sucker. If a week is not enough, I'll give filler. But don't fret, my filler is SSAG, so it's still good. The SSAG's take me only a few hours, while comic's that don't allow me time in one week take over 12 hours.
Expect more in the IBE catagory.
Hopefully this week bring's Av to allowing me ftp access so I can make the "FAQ" and "About" page. I also have a "List" page in mind because the archive thing only reaches a month.
I now have ftp access. I'll update the appropriate pages when I get a chance. Also, Av added a feature in the "comic archive" section, where you can view comics based on catagory.
wow, long post again. I always have more to say than I realise.
