Nice to know you're consider future cons. I too would like to see some SA figures. Patched Together would adore a Scarlet figurine.

One more question. I went to New York a while back and saw an MnMs department store. And today in London I saw one being built here. What's your opinion on a department store dedicated to a chocolate? Lunacy or genius?

Is the fact that Scarlet and Vicky both have short red hair and green eyes pure coincidence?

Oh sorry Jack, didn't mean to offend you and damn right you can Smile Actually because of you I started to care less and less of what I draw, well...cartoon wise. Thanks for that, you are awesome!


Edit: Oh and please don't quit SArt with Art and KAT! THEY ARE SO CUTE AND GOOD!

Yeah, I've gotta get my arse in gear and come up with a figurine design!

Yes. There's no connection between them.

Jolly, if I may, why do you don't like the term furry?

I saw your strip about you talking why you draw "Cartoon animals" but I just wonder why is it? And also, what do you say to people when they ask you, why you draw "Cartoon animals" in more of a mature way than usual? In a simplest way, I just want to explain that to my friends too Smile

"Furry" is a word with bad associations. It's especially associated with the stigma or accusation that "You draw a cat with tits. You want to fuck your cat!". At least that's what I generally get from lots of browsing around the internet where the issue of furry is raised. Jack did a gag strip on Deviant Art with a stick man accusing another stick man of having urges.

To me Furry just means something covered in fur.
My cat is furry because it's covered in fur
Chewbacca is furry because he's covered in fur
This cheese in my fridge is furry because it's been left there too long.

Demoncon in Maidstone was rather successful, so I'll probably be returning there. Dunno about any others, though.
Speaking of Demoncon, why didn't you post about it in your blog? (Rare as those postings have become.)

I've just read through all 59 pages of this thread...T_T"

Just a couple of questions..

1) For the SA comic where a few panels have the same scene, do you put the expressions on a separate layer and then just change those?

2) What's your policy on fanart? Can people draw your characters without permission? Can people use your sketches? What do you dislike being used for fanart/fancolours by others? (I ask because I love doing colours of your scarlet sketches xD)

3) Any tips for a new webcomic, in terms of writing? How do you keep every strip a laugh? I get the principles of comic timing and all that, but how do you think up new jokes and how do you then translate them into the comic?

4) And all through this thread you said you need to get sorted and get Patch Together to make a Scarlet figure. That was NOV 2009! Will this ever actually happen? Razz

Thanks for reading. (:

To make someone laugh on comics, is not the Art departament, more like reading a lot of books and study the literature more.

Is "Quinten Lab" related with San Quentin Prison (near Los Angeles)?

I'll repost this question here, just to be safe.

Why does pip warn art about what the authorities would think about the critter-people? I accept that the purpose of those strips may just be to break the 4th wall... or even that art is crazy... but I really hope not lol

I have a question relating to How To Play.
How do you usually draw those out, what dimensions do you use? Do you write stuff out before you draw it and the edit them together in photoshop or draw them all at once?

Would like to ask Jollyjack:

Would you say it's a good idea to stay away from the colors on photoshop and prevent yourself from coloring your work until you learn how the light works on black and white? Or that only goes to Digital Production paintings and designs and does not factor the comics?

Have you ever been to Speaker's Corner in London? Better yet, have you ever spoken there yourself?

2: What's Art's last name?

1 – Yeah, I just copy/paste and then alter the expressions.

2 – I don’t mind fan art in the slightest Smile

3 – Write out your dialogue well before you start work on the strip proper. If possible; write it and then leave it for a few days, then go back and reread it. If there’s anything that needs changing, such as pacing, it’ll leap out at you.
A strip doesn’t have to be gut-bustingly funny. It just has to be entertaining.

4 – If I ever get my arse in gear and come up with a design: yes Smile

Why would a British military contractor’s R&D facility be connected with an American penitentiary?
Very Happy

Because it’s funny.

Moonman wrote:Is there a reason you have a link to your blog on your website...the blog you haven't updated in two years?

The whole website is in need of a polish, not just the blog. I might start doing that now, actually….

Dreadstunlock wrote:Would you say it's a good idea to stay away from the colors on photoshop and prevent yourself from coloring your work until you learn how the light works on black and white? Or that only goes to Digital Production paintings and designs and does not factor the comics?

I’m the last person to ask for advice when it comes to digital painting. I just don’t do that.
I add colour before I add shadows and shading, simply because the process of laying out flats is tied in with area selection, speeding up the process.

Ganthan wrote:Have you ever been to Speaker's Corner in London? Better yet, have you ever spoken there yourself?

No. And if I had something really interesting to say (which I don’t) I wouldn’t waste my time trailing down to London to shout at a few people in a park. I’d upload something to Youtube Smile

cenaris wrote:Has Nurse Sally escaped that outpost yet or is she still there freezing her shapely ass off?

Alas; no. But I am thinking of doing a “Special Edition” of the original, as it was never drawn to proper comic-book-format dimensions. A re-drawn, colour version might be popular.

Agent wrote:1: Where do the Sequential Artists (collective name) live? Presumably somewhere in England, but where exactly?
2: What's Art's last name?

1 – Yes.
2 – Art’s full name is Arthur Mathews. I think it’s only mentioned in the strip once, and more prominently in the collected hardcopy, Volume 2.

Though I presume you have a limit regarding content? I guess you'd (for example) be fine with someone like Kat in some wacky psycodellic antics but be fine/frown upon porn of certain characters (depending on which ones),

Are you kidding? I consider it one of your best earlier works. Does this mean I'll have to draw a picture of Nurse Sally twiddling her thumbs and asking the reader when she'll be allowed to leave?

I can't prevent people drawing....y'know.....stuff. They just won't be able to post it HERE.

As for Nurse Sally rework; the script and page layouts would remain the same, it's just the style that'd be updated (and updated ONCE. I'm not pulling a Lucas)
