I'm not an artist. I don't know shit about shading or coloring or anatomy. I drew a pretty fucking cool dragon (copied, but not traced out of a D&D compendium) once, but I ruined it by thinking I could color it.
I do know one thing, though: JPG compression artifacts are fucking ugly and your strips are rife with them.
I suggest bumping up the compression ratio a little bit to, oh, say, "maximum." That way, things won't look so ugly.

And I'm talkin AOL on a 9600 baud modem, ugly.
yeaaaah. I don't think it's the jpg compression that is making this artwork terrible.
Yeah, I actually didn't realize there was any jpeg compression.
I tend to only realize those things when good artwork is being ruined by it. I think these strips are a little too far-gone for me to care if it's shot to hell with compression or not.
I am totally supportive of comics with shitty art but writing that makes me laugh.
Jsmash's old stuff and that supermega thing he has are wonderful, and they're just stick men on a yellow background.
This is a travesty.
What did jsmash do before super mega?
The one or two panel things he used to post in SE++ before he started super mega.
I may actually be wrong, and he posted those sorts of things while supermega was up and it just took me a while to find the site, but most of the stuff he's got on the site has a couple panes on em and I seem to remember one-liners in single pictures from him a time or two.
I used to have some of that stuff saved, too, but I've since gotten rid of it.
In that case this will be my last post on this thread. People seem to think that I've taken no advise from this forum and I've repeatably insisted that I have. If you want to continue to think I haven't them go ahead and think that. I do thank those of you who offered serious advise and bothered to check out the entire strip from first to new and made a decision with that, even if you hated it. I will be considering further changes and won't be posting any new artwork for the next few months on this, as I've stated before, but after which I'll throw something up and I'd like to see if you see an improvement at that time. So until next time...

There is a line between creative teasing and outright insult.
You're really, really close, and I'm not sure which side you're on.
What gets me here is that it apparently took two people to make this?
these actually made me laugh :oops:
