I didn't see anywhere I could put this, so i just made a new forum. I thought there was one called 'you+like+draw" or something like that, but I couldn't find it. In any case, heres the link.<br><a href='http://www.geocities.com/kd_cecil_ff4/index.htm' target='_blank'>Fan Comic</a><br>Let me know what you guys think. <br>Oh, and if anyone is wondering, yes I used an image editing program on it, but only to clean up a couple of ink smudges. The final copy was drawn on tracing paper, which doesn't seem to hold ink very well.

It's cute, I like it. I however am a fan of dodgeball. But I know some people who if they see this 'strip' will get a watergun ready for class.

Nice work so far. If you need alternatives to tracing paper, a lot of regular blank paper is transparent enough for tracing if you have enough light. If you can find one, a lightboard (a flat surface lit from underneath designed to let a person see slides or negatives the way one would look at pictures on a regular table) would would also be a good way to trace using regular paper.<br><br>Note to others: The image is hosted on a Geocities site, so do not click the link to see it. Copy the URL (CTRL C), Open a new window (CTRL N), and paste the address in the Location bar (CTRL V). You won't get the 'not found' error if you do that instead.<br><br>-- Oh, I see the address was edited.. problem solved. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I fixed the site link, now it goes to the index. <br>Oh, and as for the Lightboard, I had one years ago that came with a power-rangers drawing kit i recieved for christmas. Lost it though...<br>Oh, and I'm a fan of dodgeball too, i just know millie is not. Actually, there was one time in gym class, i remember, that I asked if we could play dodgeball instead of bascketball for the 1,000,000 time. The entire year, we had only taken two days to not play bascketball, and those two days we played soccer(w00t!). I had wanted a change, the teacher did not agree, though, and called me girly for wanting to play that. After that, I gained a very nice loathing of that person. I was one of the last in the school, as I try not to judge people. Oh well, I did get a story out of it... even if a boring one!

Not bad, the abrupt scene change has always been a favourite of mine.

Whenever I would play dodge ball in middle school I would get hit in the groin. That was painful enough to make me not like it. I doubt it was a coincidence either.

Sure, I'd be honered. Oh,and for those of you who might be wondering, I used tracing paper to trace my own drawings, not Simpsons. My first draft was don in pencil, on the back of a set of lecture notes from a class of mine. Tracing Simpsons work would be more like plagury than true fan-art, or even art for that matter. Any suggestions as to how I can improve ozy? I can't seem to get his face quite right. Millie, on the other hand, I'm happy with. That was only the second time i've attempted to draw her, the first being the first draft!
