>>>Thumbs Down. It just doesn't fit-- it looks like the other web comics out there
Wow, Orgg, you have a good point. Ironically, looking at other web comics was the inspiration for this little experiment. I liked the look of alternating panels that didn't look to cut-and-paste. I especially liked the idea that original panels each and every time meant more art practice so the strip would improve over time.
>>> and abandons the 'Red Meat' esque Fast Effects... *snip* WHY change it to simply hand drawn?
Ah yes, after all is said and done, Ret Meat is lord of the modern comic world. Max Cannon is God!
But the static nature of it all seems cheap when I mimic the style. All I end up doing is cut and pasting from this huge file containing multiple poses, mouths, eyes, even hands, for different characters. Yes, Hannibal Squirrel can point, raise a punching glove, then hold up a flag and sell cookies, but if you take a look at it, they're the same four hand poses just cut and pasted to different strips. Same with all the other characters. And hand drawn has been the nature of all the Fast Effect characters, except in the very beginning, and the Sefro and Rasko images.
>>> You had several ideas for new FE characters when you got your scanner done... What happened to the Severed Legion hand or Rakso's expressions?
The new characters, such as the cat in the penguin suit, hand-drawn Sefro, are...somewhere. I just forget. They're on some drive or disk somewhere in the house, just dunno which one. But I don't recall a Severed Legion character. Did I actually say I was making one? (looks at the new sample comic link above...notices disembodied hands...)
>>> You've got a good thing going... Don't change it.
Thanks very much. Unfortunately, I'm unhappy with the process I have used to produce the Fast Effect strips, so I'm looking to change it. I'm finding myself agreeing with you on the new style, though: That it's a bad move. Perhaps somebody can write in with a solution?
>>> I don't care either way but that cat freaked me out. It winked at me and I wet myself.
Mythosx, I worry for you. Especially if the manner in which you "wet yourself" was not one of fear, but happiness. Fear is what I shall assume it is. Yes, you should be freaked out by Mr. Cat. He's a dangerous fellow, indeed.
