Title: My new cartoon
Description: "FIXED"

"FIXED" is a cartoon I'm making about the cats that I live with. One is a fixed, fat , male, inside cat. The other is a fixed, skinny, declawed, inside/outside cat.

I hope to make them look better but here is the first.

:happy:
That was funny.

The artwork should have darker colors. Just color in it.

Very nicely done though.

Two neutered cats, one big adventure!

Thanks, After seeing how faint all the colors looked I made a test picture. I used the colored pencils and then the mechanical crayons I have. I made 4 simple squares and colored them in a hard as I could.

This is the result.

I still would like to be able to go a little darker. I'm thinking about trying to get some colored ink pens. I know they have red,black and blue ink. I assume their is a rainbow of colors available, for a price.

I have a hard time going back and redoing something once its done. So This first strip will probably stay as is, but Ill make the rest look better. I also plan on drawing them in a more traditional "more than one panel to a page" format.

THANKS WILLIAC

Can you draw it on the computer directly?

Or just draw the outline, and scan it in, then fill in the shapes? I think a lot of people do it that way for webcomics.

Fixed: a webcomic about the madcap adventures two neutered cats.

These cats are fixed, but everything in their world seems broken... or everything around them keeps getting broken.

Meet [insert name of man-cat here]. He is about a ferocious as you can get... if you are a fat and lazy house cat.

Then you have Goldie, the street tough stray putting his ego in check... if he wasn't in denial. :fighting:

*yawn* Sorry. My brain went to bed early, but my body is still typing in front of the computer.

You can get free hosting for webcomics at various places, but you can probably just host it on a free website, and not have to share the profits if you ever complete a thousand comics and publish it as a book.

I like that Idea about scanning my line art and coloring it in on the computer. Some one told me that I should forget the whole drawing, scanning route, and just buy a graphics tablet. I tried to do the comic before with a variety of vector art programs. I couldn't get the look I wanted. I realized it was because I didn't know what It should look like. Now that I have the characters drawn out I might try going "Vector" again. I am planning on looking into finding a free web host.

here is a little test I did with inkscape, a free vector art program.
