Oh but I do. Last time you pointed out that my characters were looking every which direction but the right one, so I fixed it up.

Not sure there was anything specific in this thread, other than the second panel of my second comic, which, I agree, is confusing and somewhat slapsticky.

WCSTcomic, your comic was posted by two different people, and AZ isn't one entity. Different people happened to find it at different times.


And do you really check every single web page where your comics are cached??

Weren't we just talking about ego problems and stuff?

IF you are serious, then I would like to say that your art hasn't improved very much since the first comic, aside from how you color things.

And maybe it was thought of as a punch against people who overuse "The cake is a lie" in saying that the sure fire way to find a complete nerd is to induce the urge to say "The cake is a lie" in him. It is deep.
you're giving this comic way too much credit, no offense.

No need to get defensive. It's not like I accused you guys of obsessing with me, that would just be silly. Two discussions isn't exactly scandalous, but the first time it's happened to me.

And as for checking "every single" page it's not like there's many of them. Makes it sounds like I spend my entire day doing it. And like I mentioned, sometimes they provide useful advice so they're worthy of a read.

Not sure how the following poster tried to tie this in with an "ego", though. I don't think wanting to know what people say about your work is an ego trip.

Probably. I still found it best of what was posted up until now. Which doesn't mean much.

Hey there, WCST!

I consider myself something of an expert on your work. You might call me a web anthropologist, of sort. Just look at this skeletal model I constructed of your characters.

Keep up the good work!

Since you seem to be fairly polite about this, I won't put your comic in this thread if you don't want me to. However, I will say this: if you really want to improve, I recommend you start learning to draw again entirely from scratch. With the current "style" your using, you kind of have yourself dug into a hole. There isn't much of a way to improve it at all without completely over-hauling the way you draw everything. I actually I'm not a very good artist myself, so I'm not the person to go to for drawing advice, but I recommend you look up some anatomy tutorials and the like.

Sorry for hotlinking and sapping your bandwidth, by the way. That was entirely my bad.

The fact that WCST has been so calm and polite about this--in my opinion--makes him ten times better than some other webcomics out there.

I agree.

Chris-chan, on the other hand, is a shining example of an acceptable target.
The A in this case stands for Armageddon. As in, Armageddon a boner because this plane has a fucking HOWITZER sticking out of it.

If there's actual critique being thrown around, I welcome it. If it's just thrown in there to be ripped apart; well, obviously I would appreciate it not happening, but I can't stop the internet :-P, so it will happen, here or elsewhere, all I got to do is try to learn.

Thanks for the advice regarding seeking out somewhere to learn drawing. I'm entirely self-taught, so I think some professional help would definitely ... help.

No need to apologize for the bandwidth, I don't think the hit was that bad, anyway.
