Hey, we have a guest today! The zombie fellow being eyeballed by the Cricetaurus* is Chainey, who is from Flipsidered's awesome zombie comic called Maggot Boy. Go, you, read it!
In other news, sorry if I gave anyone the impression that I was being too down on my own art, I know it isn't terrible, and I know for certain it ticks me off a LOT when I look at someone with incredible art, and see them say their own stuff is crappy…because what do they think my art is, when I can't draw half as well! If their's is crappy, who knows what mine is! I can't take any compliment they give me as being sincere, y'know. So anyway, sorry if I came off as one of those people! I was trying to be sort of cheeky was all. I don't think I'm bad, I just know I need to improve. I'm not gonna claim to be doing any masterpieces here, but I'm certainly not as bad as some people say I am! (and if people think my art is terrible, I'm sorry I just don't know what they expect; fruit on a table maybe? M.C. Escher? Alex Ross?!? I'd rather draw like ME!)
Another item in the news: If you want T-shirts with Charby stuff on it, I got a cafepress store for that. If you wanna suggest things to put on them, go over to my CTV forums and tell me! I've got character shirts in the works (the skull shirt Kavonn wore and soon one of Crispo's chibi shirts)and a poster…some of the stuff is a little pricey because it's on darker shirts…but I'm also trying to get out some other things that will be cheaper, so keep an eye on it if you want and I'll be adding new stuff to the store very soon. I know I dragged my feet on this for the looongest time because I hate asking for money from you guys (that's not why I do this comic after all) but desperate times and all…heh…I'm going to get sick of ramen at this point. Anyway, sob story aside here is the store: evilempire_shop We'll also have stuff there from other comics like UIU too.
*A Cricetaurus is something from Night School…go you, read! The current page nearly killed my hand! There's a “hamstersaurus” there, he's cuuute….
I have a suggestion for a Tshirt ^_^ I'll email it to ya ^_~ The Chibi Tony shirts are adorible! >_> *wants to buy one of each shirt and such*
Poor Tony o_o Do they have AA for mystical creatures?
Also the woodgrains and textures on this page are fantastic. ^_^ I love the level of detail you put into each page, its no wonder your hand hurts o_o Rest ^_^
Oh, shoot... There's actually Charby booty? I need the poster and the Kavonn t-shirt... But I also need that DS that's on sale... Blast. Guess I'll just get the t-shirt for now. And now for a bit of wheedling to my mom to get an account on CafePress...
Aw, dang. Poor Mye, being forced into one of the most horrifying areas on Earth. And jeez... How much poisonous substance was in that bottle for a DEMON to get DRUNK? Tonius' charm is wearing off on me. Of course, that might just be because I am terribly afraid of alchohol and the thought of tasting its rancid liquid disgusts me.
Also, some insight on the artistic critisism corner: I think artists who hate their work hate it because they're comparing it to what it could have been. As we can't look in their eyes and see the vision it would have been, we can only see what it is, and sometimes what actually turned out is better than the vision. It's sort of like the artist is blind to his/her actual talents. I don't really know, as this is just a guess based on my own critiques of my work.
Grater: Aw, but that wasn't what I was trying to say, I'm not insulting my art and calling it crappy! Sure, I called my old stuff crappy, but let's call a rose a rose! It shouldn't tick anyone off that I'm being snarky about trolls, who call my art crappy when I certainly believe it's not. Like I said before, a lack of proper communication on my part...I ought to use more quotation marks if I'm gonna be cheeky about people that insult my art! I cannot recall a single time, save for when I was uploading my old junk, that I've insulted a page I just posted...I've only pointed out that I have flaws that need fixing, and it's not perfect yet. I haven't gone off on how I'm the worst artist ever and my art sucks, it should be burned yaddayadda...so I guess I don't understand where anyone thinks I have an artistic inferiority complex! (in other parts of my life yes, but I think my art is shaping up nicely quite frankly!) The only times I have, have been purely intended in jest to poke a bit of fun at some of the less intelligent detractors I've had...again, my sense of humor doesn't translate well in text, I suppose that is why I do comics and not novels ^_^
Anyway, if anyone does see me this way, they should stop right now! I like my art just fine, and saying it needs to improve is not the same as posting my page and pointing everything out that's wrong with it!
dufgall: That amuses me, but I think I've been more somewhere in the middle. I can laugh at a crappy picture I drew and at the same time consider something my best work yet...it's case by case. I don't recall ever complaining about current work though, just stuff in the past...and again, I was joking if I did. I'm more likely to fix a glaring error (sometimes in secret) than go on a mope tirade about how "horrible" an artist I am (again, before anyone mistakes that, is not what I think I am!) as someone with a very organic approach to art, I can't really say sometimes whether something is bad, just when it is out of place or not up to snuff with what I've done before. I do admit though, I'm setting ridiculous standards for myself and getting disappointed when I fall short and can't draw or color like artist X or Z does. In part also, I'm trying to prove my worth to people who think I'm worthless and would not give me a second thought anyway, like the trolls. Unfortunately, it doesn't matter how good you are for trolls...they just aim to bring you down, no matter what you do.

*roflol* Poor Hex. Has all those Bunny girls glomping him. Maybe he should consider not exactly KILLING the girls but think of a spell that'll temporarily get them off of him so he can get away and find a way to change back into his non bunny-boy form before they catch up with him. Though if he maims a few of them to do so, he can claim it was self defense. *cackles*
"it ticks me off a LOT when I look at someone with incredible art, and see them say their own stuff is crappy"
Amy, that is exactly how others see you. You may as well be looking in a mirror.
People are usually sincere, it being hard to believe, does not change that. How often do you try to deceive people when commenting on their works? Assume sincerity, truth is sometimes stranger than fiction (and harder to believe ;)).

Man, I just feel bad for Mye. At least Tony's not feelin' any pain.
X Daggers at 10:27AM, June 12, 2008
Lol, how about Hex being glomped by bunny girls as a t-shirt? Hilarious! AWWW POOR TONY! (T_T) That is NOT a good thing to do to yourself! Augh!
