Also: breasts dont look like that.
Edit:
I'll try and be more helpful here.
Take the first comic for example. Ok I havnt played Zelda so i'm at a disadvantage. So in the first panel, i assume Dodongo is the dinosaur bad guy boss. And there is something about smoke which I assume is a reference to the game. I assume smoke MIGHT have something to do with beating him but I dont know. And I'm not sure where the smoke is coming from. Did Link give him a cigarette? or is he creating smoke? Perhaps his chamber is just smokey in general. I have no idea and your comic doesnt give me any of that information.
Well lets see the second panel. Whoa, who the fuck is this anime girl? She doesnt look like shes in the universe. Is she Zelda? I dont think so... Ok so shes giving Dodongo some weed (I think?). I guess thats fun. Is that how you beat him? by getting him high? Or is that the joke? And who IS she? Why is she there?
Ok I guess she gets the tri-force because of weed. I think. Not sure. And Link has been lied to? HOW? Did the old man promise him something? Did the old man say "use some smoke Link" ? And I dont really understand what information the exposition of "but i need that..." etc is for. I guess its the out of place anime adventurers tri force... hooray?
So the only thing I can think of thats kind of funny in this is that if you give the monster weed... you get a triforce?
And where is the punch line? Because I cannot find one.
I assume you read comics? Well you need to study them. I know on PA TV that Jerry and Mike seem to suck an idea up and slap in down on a page, but that's only because they've done it a million times and know what the hell they are doing. What you need to do is deconstruct how they do it, why it is funny, what about the layout makes it read funny. It may be just words on a page, but there is a pace and timing there that you need to understand.
The art you can improve with practice, and that doesn't mean whipping out your "How to Draw Anime in 5 Easy Steps" book. You need to practice your drawing by drawing from life. How to lay down a 3 dimensional image on a page is one of the most important things you can learn, but you need to draw everything and anything to gain an understanding of how stylised drawing (aka cartooning) works. They are not just simple drawings, they are complex drawings that have been simplified, there is a huge difference.
Also, 'inspireded' isn't a word.
I am a big fan of mspa amongst other webcomics, penny arcade too I don't post here just to see other people's reactions, the feedback is helpful.
I really enjoy mspa and the fandom behind it so I thought it would be fun to do my own adventure too, one thing about the MSPA fandoms is that there is a large amount of them doing their own fan adventures, way too many, but it is fun, I thought I could make an awesome one too that I could do almost daily like mspa but more of a magical one,
I am calling my adventure 'SpaceMagicStuck' or 'SpaceStuck' I want to have fun with that on the side as I develop my other comics and programing games / rpgs, It's a preety awesome space adventure
It's kinda like the plot to mspa, there's a game like the Sburb Beta bit this is a sort of temporal grand creation game on the level of higgs boston in multiple universes, It's called T.I.M.E, Temporal Imperium Magic Empire Which is a kind of magical spacial temporal game of sorts the kids players are getting to play in their universe sessions to be temporal gods.
This is a start of a new temporal space magic adventure. There will be more details about the T.I.M.E. Closed Beta as the story progresses, it's a rather complicated tale, this does not exactly start on Earth but on a fractured world traveling though space at high warp.
The story focuses on a young girl in that world who lives in her temporal fortress who loves Star Trek, Lunar, Rpgs, and her Grand Nagus Staff among other things, although she is turning 13 today she still hasn't been given a name yet.
What shall we name this young lass?
You saw the first one, which is like the opening of mspa, then there's more,
>> STARLI KRYSTL MOONFLOWER ROBBYN HARTLY PRISMA!!!
You think this could be a cute name for yourself since you are such a cute little girl and magical sorcerers, it might fit your style of naming, it is rather charming and perhaps you'll keep parts of it, as some of the name sounds just perfect for your name you still want to think about it and perhaps a few more as you wonder what else to do around your magical fortress as you celebrate your birthday and think about all your video games, and the temporal universe around you
Someone already made this too, I thought it was neat.
Following MSPA tradation we are naming her, and people are suggesting things to do, you can follow the forum adventure here on the mspa forums if you want...

Secondly and important with regards to socializing and improving your craft by using this forum as a medium, is to be specific about your posting.
People here expect somewhat of a ground up approach to art. Even well known and highly skilled artists usually start out with single pieces of art or sketches before moving into displaying comics for critique.
So at the start, rather than posting your completed comics, post your attempts at improving your artistic skill. It will be far better received by the community, and you will find that the communities willingness to help you improve will increase ten fold. With your first uploads you will receive reviews which may shed light on things you need to improve upon. Work on those improvements, and after you've noticed that the community is responding to your progress, then start posting completed comics.
Additionally when you do create comics, try to maintain the lessons and style from your practice into the body of the comics you create. This will show that your knowledge gained here is being applied to your work.
This isn't to stay stop drawing comics. Learning to improve your art can be tedious. Form practice will have you drawing shapes and planes and small objects, and excercises, and at times you'll want a release from all of that. But when submitting things here bare in mind that the populace will remain unimpressed and potentially unhelpful if you've not shown the efforts of improving your skill. Draw comics, enjoy them, and retain them for the day when you can show us how much your skill has improved over time. That will be what really impresses people.
And finally don't give up.
