Re: Creative outlets

Okay, I don't know if you're still interested, but hey, if you are, I did start a new DeviantART account. It has the stuff on the wall I was talking about in there, as well as a few desktops I've made.

Re: Comic layout tips

You know, Novil, the fact that you find all of these guides and tutorials online and then share them with everyone really lets me like you. Sure, just sharing what you find and think others may be interested in makes you a swell guy; but the fact that you're out there finding all of these guides in ...

Haha. It's even funnier when you realize that some "complete collections" are technically incomplete, too.

Re: Creative outlets

That's close enough; although, if you're going to do the same for color theory and design theory, I think it has to be a cake to count.

Which is to say you've done more than those eighty-six? Wow, I really need to start practicing more.

By the way, that reminds me, have you ever studied music theory at all? It helps me out a bit.

How about this one?

Does anyone else read Evil Diva?

Angels. Demons. A Really Old Guy.

Seriously, though, Evil Diva is strangely cute and light-hearted, although it does use the tired old premise of "stick mythical beings and legends in a school setting" premise.

Re: Creative outlets

May I point out that the way you use the word "art" is a misnomer? Music, writing and storytelling are also arts. The term you probably need is "illustration." Which is to say I actually partake in all of these. Illustration is the only one I have any sort of extensive history on...

I have to really question how the raccoon managed to get in the car trunk, without being able to get back out. 1)If the trunk was left open, I don't see how the raccoon could close himself in. 2)If there was a crack in the flooring, the raccoon could have escaped through the same hole. 3)Getting clo...

Think of it this way: How do we differentiate great artists from a sub-par artists? The quality of the art they make. There has never been a case of a baby being born alongside a fully painted canvas, so it would technically be impossible to be born an artist at all, let alone a great artist. Still,...

Good job on finding Girl Genius, Torg, but as a fellow reader, I'd like to point out that Kaja Foglio coined the term "Gaslamp Fantasy" for Girl Genius because steampunk wasn't all that accurate of a description. Still a totally awesome comic, though. Moloch and Dimo are easily my favorites.
