Boobbah is watching you
... I would say I don't get it.

But I think I do... I just didn't find it funny.

Sorry TGU.

Good luck at learning not to be crap and figuring out how to commiciate through a comic medium!

I believe I can give further critique.

The joke is twofold: Many illegal Mexican immagrants take low-class jobs, such as working as a gardener, so we have come the expect a gardener (especially one working for an upper-middle class or higher household) to be a Mexican. Additionally, it asserts that some people have a hard time finding a practical application for a college degree, and thus find themselves only marginally (if at all) better off than if they hadn't gone to college. 'snot the best joke, I agree, but it's not completely crap. I think it would be better if redrawn better, as you plan to, as poor/quick art tends to detract from a joke.

I say keep trying; with improved art, the comic should be better. Also, as can be seen with Ash, jokes of the type you used are likely to turn off a not insignificant amount of readers.

A little rough, but good, all things considered. I imagine learning how to use a new drawing tool will be a bit difficult, but a tablet should be similar enough to paper to pick up relatively quickly, right? I look forward to seeing more experimentation.

Also, Tora: Nice job overall for someone just learning to use a tablet. Man, those things are weird to use at first...

This is a friend's character from City of Heroes, if anyone plays that. Her name is Jezebelle Blaze, she's an illusion/radiation emission controller, which does not matter but what does matter is that I figured out how to (mostly) properly use the blend tool in multiple layers in GIMP. ^_^ You can see that in her cape and the pink backround.

Yes, actually, it was.  It'll probably be a while before I start honestly putting strips out for people to read, because I still need to practice drawing the charcters - I've always sucked at drawing people.  It will be colored in the future, too; I just wanted to get that one off fast.  And it obviously suffered because of that.  As for the joke...well, it seemed a lot funnier when I was tired.  I probably won't revisit it.

*gazes longingly at Tora and Tamsin's pictures*  I wish I was computer literate like you guys!

Well done, Mach. Good stuff. I think you really managed to capture movement in these sketches.

And on a purely 'I'm a child of the '80s note', I find them reminiscent of '80s characters (specifically characters from Transformers and GI Joe).

Why, thanks.

The Circuit Breaker's armored suit (its a suit, yeah) pulls inspirations from Samus Aran's bounty hunter suit and Ultimate Iron Man's tricked-out combat suit.
And Wild Achillea is violent, impatient girl (yeah its a girl), she's incredibly loud and not incredibly subtle.
You know.  Kinda like Cobra Commander.

So hey you're not that far off.

Gonna be working on this boy and girl a little more.

I take pictures. Film is my prefered medium but I had my digicam tonight and felt inspired. There is a lot about these pictures I like, but at the same time there's a lot I wish I could have done but alas my digicam is point and shoot.

Second half, same deal with only Osaka's speech being any different:



Oddly enough, these two strips are sequential in the manga.
