Did you guys know that paper doesn't have an undo button?

Okay. I have gotten way lazy thanks to the digital tools that allow you to chimp your way to better results. Non-digital art can be merciless if you slip up. I know I could go to the convenience store next door and buy some white-out/ liquid paper/ whatever you call it in your area but I'm going to leave it as is so I can be more mindful of line placement the next time I blow the dust off of my inks.

But as proof of the character designs go, I think they work.

Next I have to consider color. Despite the fact backed by the science of being correct that comics are better in black and white, the audience expects a webcomic to be in color. I might just tell everyone to become better at reading comics and stick with the black and white.

But I also want their money.

Hmmm....



... and then you think, "Well, if I'm going to waste my finite free time creating art that is pretty far from what the audience actually likes maybe I should ditch this easily accessible story that I'm almost done writing in my spare time and do something more niche and personal. Maybe the niche and personal one will get a good review by some nerdy art comix review site somewhere."

Then you go back to your day job and occasionally think about how to plug up the plot holes you wrote.
