Description I heard on some forum that my art is terrible, so now I'm encouraged to work harder!

This is actually a four part story to prepare for Conroy's first big arc coming out in late March.

I wonder what the genetics involved in Yugi's hair are...


And screw forums.  I really like your art style so far.  It's simple, but it's still effective at conveying the humor.

"I heard on some forum that my art is terrible, so now I'm encouraged to work harder!"

If I ever see this person, I will... oh crap, arm's broken.
I'll give them the longest lecture the world's ever known about how awesome Doggy and Conroy are.
Man, I am lame.

A friend of mine thinks the reason his hair looks like that is 'cuz his mom drank shampoo when she was pregnant. But I personally think it's from using too much L'Oreal. (LOL!)

Catting anime hair is hard; you should have done a comic with Death the Kid begging Conroy to get the stripes out of his hair, that would have been hilarious!

The new Yu-Gi-Oh! protagonist's hair is even more ridiculous than Yugi's!

No, but a comic of Conroy got uploaded there once, and they were equally harsh.

True, quite shocking when they give independent animations so much praise, why not webcomics?

I still inaiat on knowing this forum though, if you want to keep them from getting unwarrented publicity from viewers you can PM me.

It's no big deal, some guy who likes the comic make a thread for it, and the only one person is really blasting it, no reason to make too big a stink over it.
This is it by the way.

Thanks, one thing I've learned over the years is for every 20 fans of something there will be at least one person that hates it.

Shoot, I have a guy on youtube that wants me dead and I don't even have a rant video!

The guys first account was removed and I can't find his 2nd so I can't find a link, sorry.

But what I did was make a brief, small comment criticizing a youtube poop he made where he basicly added cursing into Robot Jones. After that he made a group dedicated to killing "haters" and me, he specifically mentioned me. I joined his group just to mess with him.

Yeah, forum trolls are just that: trolls. While this is simplistic and there is some room for improvement, overall I think it's cute and endearing. A few pointers:

1. try not to recycle expression across frames. People pick up on that and tend to get snippy about it.
2. Why does your cat have only one eyebrow? I think he's missing his other brow.
3. I would recommend changing the background color for that mittle frame. It's a tight enough angle on your cat friend here that it's not necessary to hold the peach background of the first frame. Changing the color would break up the frames a little bit giving some nice contrast.
4. And speaking of contrast, I would change that wall color to something to a more cool color so your cat friend stands out. Instead of peach, try green or a blue (like in the mirror in that last frame)

Overall, I think this certainly has potential. Just keep polishing it up and you'll be just fine.

Define "troll".

julesrivera In reply to Dwig [2011-02-24 20:27:34 +0000 UTC]

It's an internet term for someone who starts trouble for their own amusement. They "trawl" around looking for opportunities to do so, eventually being named "trolls." These are not people you listen to or even dignify with a response.

That said, keep up the good work. This is very cute stuff.

polycomical [2011-02-23 07:50:24 +0000 UTC]

Personally I think they have confused a simpler style with "terrible". I had this in a conversation about Galaxy Quest with my bro (his stance can be summed up as "I don't understand therefore I don't like". He also kept confusing it with Starship Troopers).

I think this series is fab. It's a sad fact of life that we are more prepared to listen to the negative.
