Title: Tea For Three
Post by: Leonidas on 07 Oct 2005, 12:11

A friend of mine has started her own webcomic, and I'm even one of the characters (Will).... :D


So, with that in mind, I thought I would pimp it on here.

Good pimping, sir. Comic 3 made me laugh.

Well, you can tell your friend that the comic is pretty nifty.

Incidentally, Jeph does have that post about plugging your own comics here, but perhaps it doesn't count if it isn't one that you do yourself.

It doesn't.  That's one of the rules.

I like this comic!  It seems to have found its feet with remarkabe speed.  The drawing style takes a little getting used to - it looks slightly amateurish at first glance but it grows on you quickly and suits the tone of the thing, and once you start noticing the care and attention that's gone into details like the character's poses, clothing etc. it quickly becomes apparent that there's some serious talent there.  I think I'll keep tabs on this one.

Thanks for bringing it to our attention, Leo.

Well I hope that Jeph or anyone wouldn't be too annoyed. If so then I hope that the fact that QC was a major influence on my friend for making her own webcomic (after I introduced her to it a few weeks ago) would be taken as a huge compliment. I think she's even linked QC on her site....:)

And as to the drawing style, yes it is a little rough round the edges, but it is just a new comic and my friend is still trying to find her style. Also, I'm sure what equipment she has makes a big difference. With some new kit, and of course as she builds experience in her drawing, then I'm sure it will come on a lot. Just look at the first few issues of QC compared to now!

Don't get me wrong, I really like the art style and like I said I think it's absolutely appropriate to the tone of the comic.  It just took some getting used to.

Oh, you stud, Leo. ;)

And yes, she has a very good grasp of drawing female posture and the like, I was very impressed.

Plus, funny! :D

*squeeeee*

That's me me me me me!!!!!!!!!! Leo I love you!

Okay super girly moment over.... thanks everyone for your comments :) Yeah my style's not conventional, but it has actually evolved over the past couple of strips I've been doing. I'm getting used to my graphics tablet (which is a massive pile of wank and is going back to the shop... stupid nisis) and learning how to taper lines off so things are getting less blocky.

Besides I'm not a super cool indie kid, I'm a shoe whore and my style, I feel, reflects that :D

This is a nifty comic! The style reminds me a little bit of Julian Opie's (http://www.npg.org.uk/live/search/person.asp?LinkID=mp59425&role=art) work.

Thanks Tinjessla - oooh it is like that isn't it!!! I love him too and it hadn't registered at all... how odd. He's obviously been lying dormant at the back of my head for years ... no wait I don't like that thought...
