As if many people love my comic. :P

Well it's an autobiographical comic of my life (not yours). I take weird and funny things in my life, put them into comic form, and make them even funnier. Some are badly done (the long comic-UGH) but I try to make them pretty well done. Once I get my tablet I'll be all set.

Posts are much appreciated! Comments on the comic are even more appreciated! APPRECIATE ME!!!

sorry that I put up to HELWID's this month. I won't do one in January now.

I enjoy reading your comics, but if you want crit one thing I'd have to say is that the art could be better, and I think that at the moment it does take away from the overall result. But I think the best way to improve is to just keep going with your comic (I know from experience lol) and if you look back and compare old pages and new pages you'll really see improvement, so do keep going with them, and remember I do love them! :)

I am working on getting some better cartooning skills right now and working on paneling, all that crap. Hopefully getting a template for christmas and will be starting really detailed art comics. For more info on that read my bio-I edited it a little while ago and added descriptions of all my comics.

Also, I am open to any and all guest strips. Prove to me that you can make it funny for my readers and I will post it up. :)

Ah, that's cool then :)

10th page is up. Unfortunately it's a filler...

what the puck?

Eleven, lucky eleven. C'mon people-view my eleventh comic!

Oh look-another update-and this one is AWK-WARD!

12 pages so far. I think that's a good thing. :). Please comment and tell me all you'd like to. :)

Well, you asked for criticism, so I guess I have a handful of suggestions here, I'll try to be as specific as I can.
The page size. I think it's slightly too big. I think if the pages were a couple of hundred pixels smaller (so 700px wide or below), they'd be much more comfortable to look at on the screen. They're currently ridiculously large for a short gag comic with a simple art style. The art would look better shrunk down too, it'd be easier to read and it'd improve the comic timing.

The art, overall, needs some work. No excuses about not having the fancy materials, since Megatokyo started out as just a guy with a pencil too. It's all about effort. Combining pure black fills with pencil work isn't working. If you're using pencils, don't try to make it look like digital art. Either work in that medium wholeheartedly and draw nice pencil sketched work, or get a fineliner or two from your local art or office supply shop and ink the comic if you want clean blacks (or ink digitally with a tablet). Pencil looks best when it's being pencil.
The panel layouts could do with some more thought. You keep putting the character in the middle and arranging the text around their head awkwardly. Why not put them to the side of the panel and put the text in a nice, neat bubble to the other side? It'd look neater. Variety in the distance (long, middle and close up) and angle of the view and some simple backgrounds would work wonders too.

I think if you made some of these changes and spent a little time refining your style, you'd get a much more polished and readable comic.

I'll take all of that into mind because, yes it is good advice and not hostile too.

Thank you for the feedback. I am working on that right now.

Another bit of info is that I am probably going to have a double update today. One of them will be a game-thing that I'm gonna try to do every now and then. There won't be any chosen winner but still-try to get it right so you can just be the smart one. The other will be an actual strip, possibly using the new advice and colored in some way.

Please use the personal I am forums too! More posts will equal better self esteem and more comics. :)

No double update because I went and bought some CD's.

The page about the game is up though. Go play!

No comic today because no one played the game but mattboy115. There are prizes now. If you're the first to get it right I'll offer to do a guest comic/strip for your comic of your choosing. :). Still fanart and guest strips for all my comics are appreciated.

Also I've put up even more comics here. I have a sprite comic running, An Original Pokemon Story , which is the sprite comic I had been working on before I got my scanner and turned entirely to Pwnd Randomness. Judging on one of my friends, the writer of the Darksider, I may even do Pwnd Randomness' too. :)

There may be a page up today. We'll see. If not, go and check An original Pokemon Story. It's funny!

Because I have promised not to make a HELWID thread based on the fact that I made two in December, I will most likely use this for AOPS too.

I finally have the belated new years page done. It's colored in colored pencil.

I'll have it up later today...

You see I said that and then didn't. Sorry.

I had to spend some quality time with my family (whoo.) and now I'm back in school (whoo.). (those "whoo"s were sarcastic). BUT now the page is up and ready.

We start off this year with pain! :)

#250 in Comic Strip #961 Overall.

I kinda feel really proud about this.

Oh yeah. There is Hrakovast Fanart on his fanart forum from me now. Go see!

My opinions:
I would introduce a second or third character to your comic. Currently many of your jokes are directed toward the reader and while that can be effective, it can also be repetitive. With more characters you can create relationships and discussion without differing to fourth wall breaks which result in a one sided talk to the reader.
Also, maybe look at comic strips you love, and try to find trends in their writing or delivery. Maybe you can even distill that style of humor into techniques you can have at your disposal. (Techniques do not mean jokes it means delivery. Don't steal jokes.)
Also an exercise, maybe try delivering the same joke or story in multiple ways. Try as one panel, or as many panels as you can possibly achieve. Maybe make it nonchalant and understated, or over the top and absurd. Try anything and everything until you find something you like! :) (You can do this exercise without drawing out each story/joke, too. Just thinking about it, can help.)

I'm in no way a great artist, so for art, I cannot provide too much advice. I can say practice will make you better, so keep at it! I would also promote experimenting in style changes even if you don't post those experiments. Maybe try a sketchy look, then a more doodle-y one, perhaps. So yeah...practice and experimentation. Good luck! I have faith in you! :D

I plan to introduce at least three new charcters in the comic.
I know not to steal jokes. Hopefully these comics are as original as possible.
I'm trying to find an exact type of paneling to keep the comics...something. I was going to do a 4 panel comic with the new years one but I decided against it.

The look I do try to get is more of a rounded sense. That's why I complain about having no tablet. My scanner wouldn't be able to add fuzz if it was entirely tablet done and I'd have the brighter colors I want to. So until then I will complain but deal with what I got.
...and I complained again and blamed it on a tablet... sigh...

Todays page is my secret santa gift . It's late, I know.

Thank you Disgruntledrm !

I'm glad you're gonna introduce more characters, and I was not accusing you of not knowing that stealing jokes is bad.
I'm not sure how I feel about consistency of panels, though. Realize it is never necessary to choose one number of panels for each page. (I admit it does have some advantages, though.)

I know you weren't accusing me. I was just suggesting you were. O_o...
Working on the panel thing too. I've just had a ton of comics and not much time.

um...new page of the game. It's a book this time. Mattboy115, you are allowed to play but to get a guest comic, no.

Sorry for the quality, my scanner hated it and it wasn't that good to beging with...
