Ugh, Mitzy in panel one. (I’m going to ridicule my own art until I learn to draw. Who’s with me?)
Fan Service (which apparently is one word, but I’m not changing the comic now).
Comment
The site got hacked yesterday, and I’m trying to figure out how to get the comics to view again. They’re still in the post when I go to edit, but they don’t show up on the page.
It’ll be obvious when I get this fixed, I guess.
Edit: Fixed.
So, today’s strip is the worst offender so far. I’m not defending my art (which is meh), but it’s better than what reaches the screen. I’m using professional quality pens, with some pretty clear lines, but by the time it gets scanned and uploaded, it looks like I inked it with a six-pack of Bics.
Any Good Artists who happen to wander by care to offer suggestions?
The first two comics vanished for some reason. I put them back up, but I have no idea what that was about.
Originally, I had planned to work with a real artist who might have produced something recognizable as “pictures”. However, his schedule never really freed up enough to get started, and I wanted (for better or worse) to get this project off the ground.
David contributed some plot and dialogue to some of these first few strips, so he did leave a mark on it. If he can free up his time, he may even pick up the art chores, and it might actually look like something.
Department 34 is a police force, taking out bad fan fiction from the inside. We’ll see what that means as the strip continues. And I figure out how to do lettering in MS Paint that doesn’t look like ass. Or some generous soul buys me some better software. (I won’t hold my breath).
The art should get better. The story should be fun, regardless.
At any rate, enjoy.
