Thank you hun On the redrawing of chapters one and two...I don't think people will get bored if there's just one page a week, but I still think you should only redraw them if you really want to.

Bunt, it seems to me that you are trying to change it into something that you want. Footloose is what Em and Ally want it to be. Your trying to change them, and they were just fine before you came along.

For a start: up until the beginning of chapter 4, I have always posted 2 pages a week every wednesday or thursday.
Bunt, let me tell you why I draw this comic. I draw this comic because it is something me and alice can create together, without university professors and tutors picking over its details and tearing it to shreds. I draw it as something that doesn't need to be picture perfect, it is a learning curve and a work of love. it is my hobby not my masterpiece. It does not require validation from others. and though we like to hear comments both bad and good from people who have read it, your obsession with tiny technical details tires me.
I don't want to draw like Earthsong, I don't want to draw like Inverloch or Terinu or Megatokyo or anyone else for that matter. I want to draw like me. I know how to draw and ink and I know how to use Photoshop. Yes Footloose is not the perfect webcomic, but the vast majority of people like it that way, and so do I. It changes as my artistic ability changes and I am happy with it.
I couldn't care less if this comic never goes to print. Too many webcomics now are obsessed with getting a book printed and it seems sad to me in most cases. A webcomic is an electric medium, not a means of getting a book published.

I think that Em is that good. I'm just saying that you seem to be trying to mold the art into something you want to see. This is what THEY want to see and do and create. As an artist if em wants to change something she will do it because she wants too, not because someone tells her too.

Bunt, your comments might be acceptable if you were our editor, but not as a reader. Personally, I find them condescending, not to mention incredibly insulting.
Like Em, I'm not fussed about Footloose going to print. If it happens one day, great - if not, I won't lose any sleep over it. My biggest ambition for the site is that it gets a good following of readers, and maybe one day earns enough money to pay for its own advertising. But again, if that doesn't happen, it won't be the end of the world. I love writing Footloose for its own sake, and I love seeing Em make the things I've written come alive.
I like hearing readers' opinions on what we've done - I object very strongly to being told what to do, and I also object to Em being told what to do. I don't think I'd be putting words in her mouth to say she feels the same. You have made your point. However hard it might be for you, you're going to have to accept that we do not agree with it.

Bunt, your comments might be acceptable if you were our editor, but not as a reader. Personally, I find them condescending, not to mention incredibly insulting. I shall quit insulting you then. Please accept my apology. I know that I often come off condescending when I don't mean to or it looks like I'm telling people what to do(even though). It's a bad habit(some people say that physicists tend to come off as condescending naturally). For what it's worth, I wasn't trying to tell you what to do. What was meant to come off as "try this if you are interested" came off as "do it". Combined with my inherent nothing is known assumption that I make in pretty much any situation(most of the time the other person does know something and I know that), I can see how it can insult you. I shall hereby retract my mean words(Yar! The last of the whines gone!). Ally and Emily, I'm sorry for hurting your feelings. It won't happen again. It's your comic and you do what you want with it, just like it should be. Enjoy making the comic!

RAR! I'm LOVING the redux pages for chapter one! See what I can do when I put my mind to it?
Speaking of which, I seriously need to update my gallery, I've got about a two year backlog of serious artistic shizzle to add to it.

I LOVE Daniel being smote.

When it's wrong to find him hot at all, yes.

Is it the pigmentation of the ink that does it for you?

You're just jealous because I can draw the hot boys... with the fuzzy little ears...

Yes, because drawing hot boys with fuzzy little ears is, clearly, my life's goal. ¬_¬

IMPORTANT! Is the tagboard bothering you with popups about passwords? I'm temporarily going to remove it because itsa pissing me off.

Post by Animae on Oct 13, 2006 20:48:57 GMT
no, but then again I never read the popups that the tag board makes.
