Damn it, you had me hoping there was a webcomic etiquette guide.
BaelfaelTheMidge28
I don't know if there asking for it...maybe if there posting in this particular thread but not on this website. Its a community and people help one another out to get better...believe it or not many do know there comics suck whether you tell them or not...but its doesn't help them grow as an artist to make fun of them...no one ask for it...they post to share a bit of them self as any one posting on MySpace or elsewhere...and they post so they can get better...now if we were in a competion then yes you can evaluate the work for what it is and it being in a different league...kind of like a my daughter who is 9-months old drawing something compared to what Ozone draws...no comparison...the point I was making is that is why very little people would want to partake in this kind of exercise....of slamming or making fun of someone's art.
First off...what is up with the attitude? I was only trying to express an opinion. I meant no offense to you or anyone so I would appreciate if you could take it down a notch....I know you won't be doing that...so...
First off, yeah, they're asking for it.
...in this thread "yes"...elsewhere "no"

(Only with the creator's permission though).
Perhaps people didn't say "Please someone insult my shitty comic" but I take presence...WTF...you take presence? that makes no sense at all... in this thread and them insulting themselves to be tacit permission.
This stupid Piro-esque "oh god my comic sucks so bad why am I even showing it to you guys" self depreciation needs to stop...no one said this in this thread. It was response to what may have been just an impression as to why people may not want to participate. And I advised I may be wrong. If you want to practice drawing, there are ample ways to do that, but as soon as you put it up for the public to see, I don't know why you shouldn't expect criticisms.... true...critique is one thing but slamming or making fun of a comic is another... People have this delusion that the internet is somehow their own private stomping ground, and that everyone here should be all "nice" because we're part of a "community." I say that's utterly insane and call apples apples. Penis sucks, Gorg or whatever is poorly drawn (it could well have shitty writing too, I didn't read enough to really find out.)...In your opinion
Second, If they're posting exclusively to get better, than the endless backpatting of webcomics and the attitude of "well at least I'm trying" needs to stop real fast, otherwise you have shit like Megatokyo that just keeps going and going with no real improvement (To pre-emempt the inevitable "yeah, but Piro is successful" argument, that's because his fans are dolts who buy anything because it's ANIMU. Seriously, Megatokyo is an abomination unto the web.)...I agree...to some extent, critique is necessary to get better, but the point was made in connetion with this thread, not throughout DD
Third, it is a competition; like I said before, bandwidth is limited. That means that every page of Penis that gets spewed out of the servers harms the ability of another, better comic to get pushed out....what competition? having readers? I guess to some extent...but its a webcomics communityfirst and foremost
Fourth, even if it's not a competition, I don't understand why I can't (or shouldn't) say something that sucks, sucks. You say if it were, it would be different, but I don't see why, apart from it appears to hurt your sensibilities...No, but to some it will. Some do better under nurturing. While some may do better under smacking them around. I don't see much of the later. You probably don't have kids.
Fifth, there != their. Go read this.
Sixth, jesus christ, cut down on the ellipsis dude. No one on earth talks like that, and there's no reason to type like that when you have this magical "backspace" key that allows you to compose exactly what you want to say.
I know those last two aren't actually on the subject at hand, but they bother me.
EDIT: Well, fak, it looks like you said something along the lines of admitting that you were wrong. I'll keep this entire rant up to remind myself to refresh the page before responding. And because the last two points still apply. Seriously, buy the book, it's only like 10 bucks.
to this I had already commented...TheMidge28
There are people already on here that make fun if you misspell or act like a retard.

this page is from my comic and I hate it...I am going to redo the first panel...it didn't come out like I wanted it...just not believable enough in my opinion...

mlaiNo, only the work people decide. That's all.
Wait, Ozone, it's too limiting if it's not a total free-for-all (the entire comic up for treatment).
Because when you post a page up here, you already know it's bad. Whatever is told you will not be news. But if someone blasts a page that you had previously thought was perfect, it would open you eyes (as well as show you brand new kinds of hurt).

Go nuts with penis!

I know what this is! It's a roast! I've seen em on Comedy Central. You pick an uber popular comedian or actor and a bunch of people insult them like crazy followed by jk we love you!
mlai
Midge, my man, that is just some plain ugly art you got there. Maybe it's your "style," but I'm sorry I just don't have it in me to appreciate ugly as a style. Sin City isn't pretty, but that is style. Yours is not.
First of all, when the text and the picture are 2 different resolutions. That sets off the n00b alarm right there.
Second, you have no sense of dynamic motion.

This guy fell and cracked the wall behind him? Nothing works. I can't feel it. Everything is wrong. Proportion, posture, paneling, angle, light/dark dynamics, everything. Wrong.
And FCOL, erase the pencil lines. And let white be white. Buy a new scanner, or learn how to scan.
Edit:
BTW, I'm not trying to be scathingly funny like Baelfael. But he can't be here 24-7. But I also don't think it's right for the artist to not be allowed to respond (as per Ozone). If you think I'm wrong on a particular, or if you don't understand, I look forward to your response.
mlai
But if you just want to erect a shell of "Oh that's my style" or "What do you know about American innovation you manga wanker," then don't bother.

That's what it is... in a way...harsh extreme F'in' criticism...
you have to put up your stuff you are okay with having trash and make fun of while you get the priviledge of trashing others entries...soem of pages or the whole comic if permitted...
Kind of a Battle Royale of Criticism
so JillyFoo are you game or are just making comments on my "eye-rape" and others!?!
because you have to pay to play.

@ Midge:
I'm not just the writer, I'm 1 of the artists.
mlai
That is what comics reviewers who say "Oh DD is just a place where they pat each other on the back" do not understand. If the place is not civil and nurturing, it dies. Ppl go to the school of hard knocks because the cops caught them or because they got drafted, not because they want to.
mlai
Eh, you can insult all of them if you want. His failure is my failure.
Don't worry about Ed. He doesn't come here. Never did. He won't care what you say. He's too busy being married.
I'm much more mellow nowadays. You can say what you please, I can't get worked up over it anymore so no worries. But if this is your first webcomics experience as you say, then I can understand why you'd feel personally insulted. I took things 500x more personal than you do now, when I first started webcomicking.
If it makes you feel less insulted, my heart's not behind any word I said. I just remember how to insult ppl, but I can't feel the urge to do it anymore.
JillyFoo
-Marine, you work so hard to make the worst comic ever! But dude you try to hard. It's fake. Retarded 10 year olds making final fantasy sprite comics make better comics than you. Your last couple strips consisted of a cut and paste guy talking. Where's the eye rape!?
Except you, Penis comic. You still suck.
mlai
Did you get a hand cramp and ask your baby brother to shade in the background with his #2 pencils? While other ppl are spending their time drawing a good page or learning how to draw better, you must be spending your time promoting your comic consisting of pages colored in pencil by your little brother.
