EOS 7: Arguing is terminal

Yes, I finally used a character's name in the strip. I figure it was kind of a necessary point. I think it is funny that one of my first strips is taking a shot at one of the strips I admire most. www.questionablecontent.net I think the main reason why I am writing this is not because of QC, but because there are unquestionably countless strips based on the exact same theme, and I am not one of them.
This wraps up this little storyline for a while. I will be embarking on a much more ambitious storyline starting next week. I think Friday's post will be a change of pace.

Artistically, the first thing you are going to think when you see this is that I finally gave in and used some computer text. The truth is that only used it because I needed a computer type font. I kind of have the mentality that, if I am not good at something I keep doing it until I am good. That means there will be hand lettering.

I also gave up on colored pencil shading. The scanner just does not pick up the colors properly. This means everything is going to be inked now, well maybe. It is helping me develop a particular style of coloring. You may have noticed that I was developing as I colored the image. Also, I downloaded some free art programs so I could actually clean up some things in the image. The hands and mouths look much better than what I inked. So, anyway. I think I may switch to doing my comics entirely digitally, for two major reasons and one minor reason. The first major reason is that pens will never have the pallet I want. The second is that inking mistakes cannot be undone until the image is in the computer. The minor reason is that eventually pens will start to cost me more than a tablet would. I love pens, but I a tablet would certainly be more portable too. Now I just have to remember how to not have the vector drawing program screw up my text boxes. (Seriously, they were not supposed to be that big.)
