Looks fine to me, but I see where you're coming from here. I sometimes know I'm never finished with my work as I know there could be more done to make it so (I learned that from my high school art teacher).

Thanks! I did this one today. Next time I'll need to make those trees in the background a bit lighter and better spaced, maybe improve a few other things, too.

Today was a very productive day so far. Still have other stuff to do, but one major thing I did was create a logo for the series I'll be starting soon. I need it to start making ads and stuff to put on my site and a wip-patreon for hipster welfare.

No, not as such. I tweet, FB, and post on a few forums, but that's about it. Most of the readers I have (maybe one or two hundred?) are due to word of mouth. Which is a little impressive when you think about it. Even if I had the spare $$$ (which I don't) I'm not even sure what'd be the best venue to advertise it. Project Wonderful (the main ad service for comics these days) is probably the best bet, but it's kind a circlejerk. You pay to advertise on one comic, then that comicker uses the funds he got from you to advertise on another comic, and so on. I don't think I could command the $10+ per ad the big dogs get, so I don't make very much from it (maybe a buck or two a month). I do make a little on Patreon, but there again, you have to be big already and have a large following to make good dough with them.

Starting a tumblr might help, but with yours... well it would likely get you fans but god knows we both know what kind you'd get. But it's proven that anything can gain a larger readership as long as you keep at it. I need to read more of yours, I was current about a month ago I think.

I've started posting over there more, but... yeah, they kind of hate me. At least the few who've found the comic elsewhere and Tumblred about it. I'm gonna keep plugging away, though.

Tumblr hates everything. I wouldn't pay them any attention unless they actually manage valid criticisms.

Don't stop. Your comic speaks to me, man. :)

My drawings were based on a weird little world that I've been working on, based on tech magic, where the two twins worked at he same lab. I had like 4 designs for her but I think this one works the best to make it seem like they work at the same lab but her power looks significantly different from her brother's.

Anyways here's XIII

Hey I found a thang I did in highschool

This was from my pseudo sparkledog phase on DA where I adopted shitty sparkle animals and tried to make a bizarre story about them that sucked balls so I'm glad I never launched it.
I can't actually tell what the fuck is going on in the page

I had the same problem with my homemade Zelda comics writing wise(my handwriting has always been chicken scratch) that I drew between March 2005 and October 2009 when I recently went through them all recently*

Looking back now, my asperger's was never more apparent at any point in my life imo than it was in my Zelda comics. Most of them had zilch to do with the games; the Link in my comics was friends with Kirby (plausible) and Rayman (WTF?) and later Pit (also plausible) and the dragon chibi thing from Bubble Bobble (Umm....). I even had the Stewie Griffin in there during one story arc for no reason other than I was really into Family Guy at the time I wrote the story arc.

I wouldn't say my Zelda comics were as bad as Chris Chan's crayola "masterpiece" Sonichu. i.e I never had any mentions, jokes, or even *cringe* graphic showings of sex in my comic and yes, I can say that with a straight face, but my homemade comics aren't something I would really want to show off on the internet like "hey guyz check out my homemade Zelda comics that are more about spergy unrelated crap than the games they are based off of!"

Edit: While my homemade notebook paper comics from my childhood are definitely an old shame of mine, I can at least laugh at them in a "hahaha what was I thinking" sort of way and hey, at least I was a kid/tween when I made these! Chris was in his mid 20's when he made the Sonichu comics!

*the last official strip I drew was in June of 2010 when I got the random idea that I was going to make some more (I never did thankfully as I was more focused on my Bionicle doujinshi at the time)

Dude I did the same thing, crossover fanfiction comics drawn during class thing. I don't seem to have any of them, but they're all too embarrassing to post. But mine were fucking bizarre and then I made some like 78 page epic where I tried to end it and kill off the main character (an OC) but she lived anyway because those things just flowed off the page in a storm of crap and I envy being able to stick with something so long that I had literally years and years of comics, the art was about as good as you saw in the one I posted before but that's kind of how I started getting serious and learned to draw real fast
 
I was feeling pretty rotten over a little fail of mine on one of the other threads. Thought I'd try and get my hopes up again by doing one of those "draw a character from memory" challenges.

I think I got him down fairly well but... well this isn't exactly the kinda guy you'd forget any time soon. (The #1 stands for first memory thingie done)

EDIT: Ah, missed some arm bands and the shoe details. Well, still not bad considering I had no reference at all AND hadn't seen him in a while.
