haha ooooh i just see so many exclusive stuff for saltworld...besides YOU made something just for a thread the other day, so why not i do the same, it is not a big deal at all.. (i talked to bwiz about the tutorial you did and referred to you as "running hamster laundry man"
 
i hope none of you ever change your icons, they act as your faces to me
 
hmmm... im worried though, i want to make a game, and i want to make two big comics at the same time, and juggle personal artwork too, but i have a long year ahead of me, i can do it... school will also keep me busy lol...
i might have to take long breaks on gumbocats though :-S i should show you guys some more comics ive been doing, now that you've got me thinking! here is a link to some previews for another comic im doin.... progress is so slow BUT I WILL give you guys a .zip preview sometime
 
i feel strange, because i keep posting about my art on here, i should contribute to regular general threads or conversations more, im a terrible lurker, i hope i dont come off weird.....i will look at threads and say WOW! AMAZING, but never comment even if i have a lot to say

posting half awake
 
whoa the first few frames I couldn't even make heads or tails out of the scene except basic THIS IS WOODS sort of thing. But yeah I took it very metaphorically like this cat is walking through LIFE memory/experience as fractal forest-like structure. Then when the other cats appeared it was kind of disappointing because it brought in some semblance of a plot the whole comic should just be about cat walking through trippy woods. Or at least like 20 pages of that just to mess with people
 
I guess when sister cat comes into the picture it isn't that bad as far as just some basic dialogue. But like that HUGE DIVIDE between them again I read it metaphorically like the divide between two minds and we can never quite take in another person's experience. I dunno

You should take your inability to take yourself seriously less seriously.
 
Also if your icon was your actual face, I would kiss you right here, right now.

Hey I really like this idea/observation... I'm sorry about the messiness though, this comic is for fun so I don't sketch layouts or anything and just draw, I frustrate myself :S so don't worry, I can't see anything either.

Adding dialogue was a spontaneous thing, too..
Usually I only read things like the way you did on my 3rd or 4h round..I like it I like it

This is really cool. I'd def like to see it colored a bit though. Its kind of hard for me to discern whats what in some areas but thats because I'm not a graphic artist in the slightest.

Lol don't worry, it's not that you don't consider yourself a graphic artist, it's just you have eyes and a brain and I'm too messy so faults on me.... But thank you so much!!!!

ragnar I will pay pal you 200$ if you can use your bleep bloops like on close encounters of the third kind to call down a mothership to take your wierd ass back from wherever you came from
 
On another note because of the title I assumed this comic was going to be about a group of south louisiana-esque backwater, creole swamp people cats that really like gumbo

Its definitely awesome. And very unique both in artwork and just sort of the tone of the story and characters. I feel like there should be a word for what you have here but there isn't as far as I know.
