*twich* thanks a lot, I'm going to be seeing that face in my nightmares... Brrr...
He's hawt.
Grizzled old guy that no one %(&*$s with.
Amen, I hope to be that man someday... Minus the smoking.
I'm rooting for that bald eagle. Go, bird, go!
When I first glanced at the last panel I thought I was looking into a mirror! :)
GAH!!! he looks like my dad... without his mustache.... sorry SpilledInkGuy, that means you look like my dad also
ewww! Ear hair guy! ;D
Oh! You cut your hair again? Awesome, looks better short.
=^-^=
You know, with as good as you are at drawing, and considering how much you obviously love it, what made you decide to go into engineering instead of doing something with art?
I'm glad you think I could go pro, jpic, but there are a lot of elements to a "career in art" that would just drive me crazy. Engineering is a better fit for the ways I like to work. :)
I bet! Rwoar!
Just the fact that you know your limits and what you are capable of shows you far surpass the average artist. Indeed, becoming an engineer is a higher calling. Anyone can draw art, but it takes a lot of brains to be an engineer! :D
No, not at all! Engineering is a calling, but I don't consider art any less of a calling. Those who are able to do this full time have a set of skills that I simply do not posses: such as razor-sharp concentration and superior emotional management.
I have tremendous respect for anyone who is willing or able to pursue this career full time. Webcomics in particular, since there is such a wide set of skills required. Knowing that I've made someone smile (or better, laugh) somewhere is very rewarding for me, and I can imagine that magnifying that experience by doing it full time would be a very satisfying career. Comickers contribute to our greater culture.
I want to push my art as far as it will go, but I never want anyone to think that I feel it's so "easy" I could do it in my spare time. It's not easy. In fact, it's the nature of the challenge that is so interesting to me.
Spaghetti arms in this one. :o
is that where all our bald eagles went? Canadia?(spanish for canada day)
Engineering often gets a reputation as being a very literal profession, and for many it is, but from what I've seen, as a student at least, those who excel the most in it have a very creative visionary streak as well. Engineering is, in many senses, quite an art.
Note: as an engineering student I also don't want to slight the artists; it's very difficult to create things that resemble life because attention to detail is learned. My experience with art is that the better I get at it the better I am at seeing more color or truer forms of shape.
I agree, hardware, there's a lot of overlap; more than some would think. That's probably why I enjoy it!
Well, I'm glad you do what you enjoy and enjoy what you do. It's not something most people get to experience, myself included. If you ever had the time/opportunity/desire to do so, you should try doing a story comic. You have a gift for getting emotions across in the faces of your characters to a degree I rarely see in webcomics. A perfect example would be when you did that guest comic a while back for QC. Your portrayal of Hannelore was phenomenal. It's probably my favorite rendition of her, and in fact, that strip is currently saved to my computer, mainly for the art.
No. No you're not... :-/
