Commentary after the jump.

This week’s Impz looks quite different from last week’s, and looks more like what I had in mind. From now on I’ll be striving to draw Impz in this kind of proportions. Only problem is that I suck at drawing consistently or drawing anatomy at all, so having a consistent character to work on should help me improve.

Characterisation needs work too. In my mind now Impz is a narcissist, who acts like a cute, charming little girl in front of others. Rake isn’t going to be perverted, but I really have no idea where to go with him. Yeah, I know, I can’t write a story for shit. Anyone want to volunteer?

Oh, and the way I arrange the frames and so on needs work too. This weeks’ frames are way too small, and arranging the frames with the drawing and the title text is a bitch. I need to come up with some sort of standardised format. Drawing comics: Serious business.

A question for all of you: would you like to see the comic or the illustration coloured? It’ll be even more work for me, but hey, if enough people want it (OVER 9000!) I may do it.

A little commentary after the jump. Read it faggots.

I assume you’re all familiar with the “Choose Your Own Adventure” series of books that were all the rage a decade or so ago. If you’re not, the concept is simple: the book isn’t read in order, but instead at the end of each page, you have a number of choices that would direct you to different pages – and a different outcome.

What I’m trying to do here is the same thing, except you too can take a role in the creative process! Pick a choice every time a new comic is finished, and I’ll try to take the idea that’s most popular and run with it. I have as much idea about where the story is going as you do, so I think this will be a fun little exercise. Well, maybe not so little. Even though it’s the poll that will ultimately decide where the story goes next, if you have an interesting idea, do post a comment and tell me about it. If it’s good, and your choice wins, your idea will be immortalised as part of the Trap Impz Saga.

I’m using Impz here because I am boring and unoriginal, but with your input, who knows where the story will go?

By the way, this first choice is completely artificial, since I already know what the next strip is going to be. I gotta introduce some other characters you know, otherwise the story could end up stuck on an eternal Impz monologue.

This is also a way to test the waters, so to speak. This is a lot of work for me; this one strip took me 3 hours (I’m still experimenting with the format, and hopefully as I get better with my tablet that time will become much shorter). So if you like it and want to see where it can go from here, leave a comment, and pick a choice! Without your support, this project won’t work, and I’ll have to abort it.

Finally, a little about the drawing(s). I copy-pasta’d the comic, so that saved me a bit of time. Hopefully in the future I can do it all freehand. As for the illustration, I’m still not satisfied with Trimpz’s design. Trimpz is, in my mind, much younger than this. Maybe 6-8 (he’s supposed to be a loli-trap, remember), and the proportion in this illustration makes him look like a middle schooler. Oh well, guess I will just have to keep working at it.

I’m sadding that no one has said anything about Advent Children yet. Sadding very much. WATCH MORE ADVENT CHILDREN.

P.P.S. For the un-initiated, Impz is a green haired trap loli.

P.P.P.S For the even more un-initiated, he’s lying.

Edit: Very funny with the “Everyone’s Gay for Impz” blog, Lupus. Be glad you are not in singapore where I can slaughter the fricking hell out of you.

RAWR YOU!

I drew the original too big… so if you can’t read the text properly, click for a bigger size.

This comic will be a regular feature updated on or about the first of every month, barring:
1) I am being lazy (Me? Lazy? NO WAI~)
2) We have nothing to blog about (Yeah… Impz has nothing to blog about… *cough*)
3) There is no more anime (Sound of otakus world-over seppuku-ing)
4) I am being slothful
5) I am being indolent
6) I am being lackadaisical
7) I am being (insert another synonym for lazy here)

Although I knew that comics are hard to draw, I never realised HOW hard it could be. Even this badly produced one took me a long time, so I hope you all got a laugh out of it!
