IceBone, cartoonist

IceBone · March 2nd, 2008, 01:04 AM

Based on a collection of quotes from a channel (all scifi related) i've been frequenting just as much as #gear for YEARS now, the owner decided to make a webcomic about them, with characters almost, but not completely, like Dust Puppy from UF. Anyway, since he has absolutely no artistic skill, he's just been piling on crappy sketches and has asked me to start digitizing them. The main website is still under heavy construction (problems with mysql - can anyone help?), but hopefully i'll be dishing out a new issue every weekend or so.

The comic's title is Differently Abled

#42 (just an excercise to see how the drawing style would cope with a cluttered scene)

Any input is greatly apreciated, also anyone who can help with our mysql problem... images/smilies/cry.gif

I think its kind of cute, although i am a little hung over.

eltoro507 · March 2nd, 2008, 01:09 AM

Drawings arent that great images/smilies/ohmy.gif

And it's not really funny images/smilies/ohmy.gif

Improve that and you have a winner

Characters are ripoffs and they all look the same. Buried for lame.

Quadrax · March 2nd, 2008, 01:16 AM

I actually like the art style.

However the humour must be too esoteric for me.

What is this a thread for n00bs to chirp up and tell someone their work is crap, even though they couldn't do any better?

I love the style of the drawings and the characters are pretty funny looking, but the humour went right over my head. We need more basic visual jokes I think. images/smilies/smile.gif

Keep at it though, I look forward to seeing more, and I would love to be able to draw like that. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Nah, they're just the usual IRC jokers. images/smilies/tongue.gif

I don't have any real constructive criticism to give, but I do like the clean art style, Ice.

Quiky · March 2nd, 2008, 10:00 PM

IRC quotes taken out of context aren't interesting... and the images load insanely slow.

IceBone · March 2nd, 2008, 10:23 PM

Yeah, my ISP doesn't like folks in the states.

HAAAWT

IceBone · March 2nd, 2008, 10:48 PM

K, i've replaced the images (apart from #42, which is not due yet) with deviantart ones.

epp_b · March 2nd, 2008, 10:49 PM

MySQL problem?

Slycer · March 2nd, 2008, 10:49 PM

Don't quit your day job. :p

Also, talking about how cool you are, in a cartoon? images/smilies/no.gif

P.S. Stick to making schnaps. Everybody here said it was very good. :p
