AH! Your favorite movie is Back to the Future! I've never met anyone else who has said that is their favorite movie! How cool.
Also, I am very interested in your comic. I'm attempting do try my hand at drawing a comic as well, and I am looking around DeviantArt to see how others set their comics up. I like the art of Sand Bandits, it's an interesting style. I'll watch you and read your comic, okay? And maybe you can give me some tips in the future?
See ya!

Ah, thanks for the watch. I appreciate it. The best advice I can give to someone who wants to do a comic is to just work on it and not give up. Many times people who want to do comics merely muddle around with ideas in their head, or characters they like. In the end, most of those ideas never end up going anywhere. In my case, I spent a long time in that sort of purgatory, not really doing anything but having tons of ideas. Eventually I just decided "Screw it, I'm just gonna start it right now", and honestly in the 60+ Pages of Sand Bandits that I've done, I've progressed more as an artist and a writer in such a short amount of time than I have in years. Don't worry too much about your comic sucking or the art not being that good, that's all part of the experience & Every line you draw adds to your growth as an artist. So good luck and never give up!
