Seven Pack: Reader's Poll
11 years ago
Dear readers, originally I intended to write this once the current comic chapter would be done, but:
- Hasani, my co-writer still isn't back from vacation, so there's not much development with my comic as of now
- Ressie, an artist whom I've been following for a while, one much superior to me, has announced his new comic http://ressie.co.uk/
- And last, I'm currently watching Bakuman, an anime about 2 guys drawing manga
All of this put me under some pressure to do something, so I will do this earlier: THE READER'S POLL! Answer these questions about Seven Pack!

SILENCE!!!!
a) parodies/references
c) characters
d) jokes
e) the story
Since a lot of the themes you use are usually things we both have either seen or played and usually chat about them, i always feel connected and “feel” what you intend to do with most of the scenes, so its really easy to enjoy most of your comic.
2)What's the biggest problem with it?
c) The battles are boring!
Altough i believe it must be really hard to do some more action oriented scenes i like your aproach for battles and they arent boring per say but i know with your characters developing, the battles will do as well.
3)How's the release schedule?
a) Weekly is fine!
4)What's your thoughts on the mood of the comic?
a) It's just right
5)What do you think of the story?
a) It's acceptable
6)What do you think of the jokes?
a) I like em!
7)What do you think of the characters?
b) I like some of them.
Not all characters are my type but i guess thats a good thing, meaning you have a diverse cast that can be relatable to more readers.
8)What do you think of the new comic frame style?
d) Keep this one for now, but change it later!
You dont really have to change it later but you should keep it for now, i think its too early to say good or bad of it tough.
9)What do you think of the quality of the drawings?
a) It does the job...
10)What about the perspectives of the images?
a) I don't mind it
11)What about the action?
d) Wait, I thought this was a comedy comic!
Just joking but like i said before im hoping for an evolution on the action bits as your characters evolve and develop as well.
12)The story has a lot of secrets, when would you want to hear the explanation as to what exactly is going on?
b) Eh, I can wait for 2 or 3 more chapters
Dont rush it! You have been able to do a good job with your rythm and pace, some secrets can be revealed to create some teasing but showing it all off can be a bit too much.
13)The comic seems to fill out a large part of my gallery...
a) Who cares?! Keep at it!
1)What do you like the most about the comic ?
a) parodies/references & d) jokes
2)What's the biggest problem(s) with it?
c) The battles are boring! It boils down that we fight a Parappa the rapper dog thing over and over it seems. But other villains have appeared, all of which are female.
f) The art.....needs moar practice!
3)How's the release schedule?
z) What? Not really paying attention........Although I wish Dance of Reality would come sooner. That, and all of the remake films of Evanjellyon.
4)What's your thoughts on the mood of the comic?
a) It's just right. I don't see anything too serious coming.
5)What do you think of the story?
a) It's acceptable. It's your fun.
d) I think it's Sailor Moon cliché! With Guys. Blame it on seeing the NC review of it. :P
6)What do you think of the jokes?
d) Hit&Miss Some fit within the boundaries of Sailor Moon.(see above). Some are a little weird and out of place.....like the author inserting his real life mug(which we haven't seen since the beginning).
7)What do you think of the characters?
f) Varies heavily...
The Gryphon guy....one word character. Or you should avoid one word characters- sometimes they speak better by actions.
8)What do you think of the new comic frame style?
e) Huh? What new frame?
9)What do you think of the quality of the drawings?
g)More cleaner! I see a lot of pencil shading.
10)What about the perspectives of the images?
b) Could be better for action scenes & c) They're lazy side shots for all characters! STOP DOING THAT!!!
Don't need all the characters on scene. Try blocking characters in a way that you know someone's behind but yet is there.
11)What about the action?
a) It's good
No comment.
12)The story has a lot of secrets, when would you want to hear the explanation as to what exactly is going on?
c) I can easily wait for a few more years........To........... d) It's a comedy series, I don't expect any answers!
Nothing I can anticipate with suspense. Each new page is: Next time on Seven Pack!; Oh boy what kind of trouble we've got into?!; *Nick O time save*.
13)The comic seems to fill out a large part of my gallery...
The question I ask is.....where do you get the most views now, so that you can get feedback. Yes it does take a lot of room here at the FA account, and I don't foresee features like dedicated folder pages(what I'm referring is Gallery and Scraps) on Fur Affinity. I could certainly see myself having a comic only account here, but I don't know if that would translate viewers watching you on Farel would watch+ a Seven-Pack Account- people are unfortunately lazy for that, even though it's just another watch.
and I'm all outta Bubble gum....
As for the last question... yeah... people are lazy. To give an example, I'll use my YouTube channel statistics regarding channels:
FareltheGecko: 351
FarelForever: 28
FarelForever had its first video 9 months ago. I even started one Let's Play series on that channel hoping it'd get someone, but people really do not want to follow me on that other channel, this does make me worried.
Plus, let's check the list of submissions: 470. The highest rated comic page... let's see:
Views: 66# 239 views, and it's the page with all the cameos..... so emm let's look further...
72# 232 views... it's the first comic page, fair enough I guess
Favorites: 123#, the 4th page of the comic for some reason.
Emmm... yeah, I guess if I were to commit a whole account to my comic and not some cheap slutty yiff artwork, it might reach 100 watchers in 5-10 years........ Not very optimistic.... it'd be especially discouraging if I reached over a 1000 watchers with the regular account... ya know...
I would see that it's really friends that do watch here. I mean that's how I would see it. But in terms of popularity....I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Too often though to get such stardom is being a total whore, following trends and all that jazz. You can have great talent and yet not be popular.....or even hated without reason.
So yeah...100 watchers in 5-10 years D: that's the sad fact.
1. A)
2 B), as there are many MLP videos. I don't mind seeing your view of it.
3 F), H), G) in that order. Otherwise I would like to see all of those retrospectives. ^^
BUT WAIT!!!! I thought you regarded MLP as "The Source of All Evil"! Wouldn't you rather grab me in a panicky way, pulling me away from that abyss?
And... if you're serious .... how would you like to see this? I mean... are you familiar with the show or not? I do feel like I should take that into consideration before making a video
(I think explaining the basics is pointless, as everyone who encounters the show will more than likely know what's going on. Explaining why Twilight becomes an Alicorn is notable, as it its a permanent feature. In other words, just jump right in!)
a) parodies/references?
c) characters?
e) the story?
2)What's the biggest problem with it?
a) There's too much text!
3)How's the release schedule?
a) Weekly is fine!
4)What's your thoughts on the mood of the comic?
d) I don't mind combining the two, but I'd prefer it to be more balanced
5)What do you think of the story?
a) It's acceptable
d) It's cliché (but I mean that in a good way, cliché as funny ^_^ )
6)What do you think of the jokes?
d) Hit&Miss
7)What do you think of the characters?
a) I love them all!
8)What do you think of the new comic frame style?
e) Huh? What new frame? (sorry if I haven't noticed it changed )
9)What do you think of the quality of the drawings?
b) Maybe you should start shading?
10)What about the perspectives of the images?
b) Could be better for action scenes
11)What about the action?
a) It's good
12)The story has a lot of secrets, when would you want to hear the explanation as to what exactly is going on?
b) Eh, I can wait for 2 or 3 more chapters
13)The comic seems to fill out a large part of my gallery...
a) Who cares?! Keep at it!
Done, hope this helps my friend
a) parodies/references?
c) characters?
e) the story?
Definitely these. The parodies are nice, the characters very unique and the story interesting.
2)What's the biggest problem with it?
c) The battles are boring!
I must say, though, that I am totally not into magic, though it was refreshing to see Voren using just his fist to beat up the villain and Raphael. XD
3)How's the release schedule?
a) Weekly is fine!
4)What's your thoughts on the mood of the comic?
a) It's just right
A good mix of comedy and more serious atmosphere.
5)What do you think of the story?
a) It's acceptable
I think it's the combination of everyday things and weird things that does nicely in this story.
6)What do you think of the jokes?
a) I like em!
Weird things = my things!
7)What do you think of the characters?
b) I like some of them.
I think Keiran, Raphael and Voren (GO, VOREN!) are my faves here, as they do have quite unique personalities.
8)What do you think of the new comic frame style?
e) Huh? What new frame?
Honestly I didn't realize that you made changes. : P
9)What do you think of the quality of the drawings?
a) It does the job...
This style suits the comic rather well, adds a lot of good mood and sympathy to the whole thing.
10)What about the perspectives of the images?
a) I don't mind it
Never thought "He could've changed them here and there!" up to now.
11)What about the action?
a) It's good
There's always happening something, so no boredom at all.
12)The story has a lot of secrets, when would you want to hear the explanation as to what exactly is going on?
a) Next chapter, or else!
I think I really miss a lot of secrets here, as I'm not a movie fan and such. So explanations might let me have some more chuckles additionally. : 3
13)The comic seems to fill out a large part of my gallery...
a) Who cares?! Keep at it!
b) Create an account on this page specifically for the comic
Both here, though of course an extra area for the comic will make following it a bit easier.
I think those are nice characters and they make the story interesting.
2 c)
Sorry to say it... it is the fighting scenes. And I know how hard it is to build up a battle scene.
3 a)
I think weekly is the best.. B could be to flooding... and c even worse
4 a)
I realy cant say more about it.. I am really fine with that.
5 e)
Why e)? Because I think it is just.. crazy :D but in a good way till now
6 d)
Yes.. I think some are realyl good. Some are like... Huh? What does he mean? ^^
7 a)
They do vary so far … and that is great
8 a)
yes keep it like that ^^
9 a)
Because whatever we say your quality will grow … there are flaws now … and later they will be gone
10 b)
you should really try to work with perspective in battle scenes ^^
11 a)
though.. sometimes it is hard for me to follow at first sight ^^
12 c)
That is how you maybe should work with some secrets ^^
13 well . I m torn between a and b..
