very nice as always! :D

I wish I could draw comics and/or comic panels better and more consistantly x_x

Thanks!

Nice looking page.
Really interested to see where this goes...

ya got a great eye fer scenic angles there Mules... an it's a treat ta be peerin' inta Mulefoot's past... :)

It feels weird drawing him differently. Its like masturbating with a different hand.

...or mounted an humped by a female?... still feels good but somethin' seems not quite complete... ;)

very nice indeed.

Thanks!

I'm under the impression the Mule was in trouble since he was born.

Not of his own volition.

Sometimes life hands you a pretty unfortunate hand. In this case it was probably severed. :p

SO who was he voliting..?

And at about this time, some left-handed guitarist is playing a song called 'Machine Gun.'

"EVIL MAN MAKE ME KILL YA
EVIL MAN MAKE YOU KILL ME
EVIL MAN MAKE ME KILL YOU
EVEN THOUGH WE'RE ONLY FAMILIES APART

THE SAME WAY YOU SHOOT ME DOWN BABY
YOU'LL BE GOING JUST THE SAME
THREE TIMES THE PAIN
AND YOUR OWN SELF TO BLAME
HEY MACHINE GUN

I AIN'T AFRAID OF YOUR MESS NO MORE, BABE
I AIN'T AFRAID NO MORE
AFTER A WHILE YOUR CHEAP TALK DON'T EVEN CAUSE ME PAIN
SO LET YOUR BULLETS FLY LIKE RAIN

'CAUSE I KNOW ALL THE TIME YOU'RE WRONG BABY
AND YOU'LL BE GOIN' JUST THE SAME
YEAH MACHINE GUN"

D.O.P.R

*listens to Jimi, getting a lil lost in it*

Ahhh these have been so great! You're wonderful at keeping the attention of a reader. Hell, I've re-read the comic over twice now because it's worth it. I'm eager to know about your characters more. Like the reflection shot with the goggles!

Thanks! I'm glad I can provide some entertainment and interest. As for the reflection...you know...originally I was just going to re-draw that frame, only with the gun no longer spinning its barrels. I tried to see it as a movie in my head...as I usually do when drawing...and that reflection shot is what seemed to belong.

Aha, one of my favorites on here! Just glad I found ya. Thinking in movie terms is the best for comics, I've always really liked the ones that go outside the panels, so to say.

I try and have thinks poke out of the panels when I think it enhances things or means something. While I might not really know what I'm doing, I've kind of developed a theory and set of rules I follow. For example...the two panels that don't have borders are wide open spaces. Hopefully not having borders conveys the enormity of the area.

I have other lil things I try.

Keep going! Your technique and skillez keep getting better. And that's what it takes. practice practice practice! (work work work, which when fun, is merely practice... kind of like masturbation is practice for sex. :)

Then you ought to be sexpert by now! *grins*
If you go to www.rustedtusks.com and look at the very first comic page I drew 2 years ago and go through 105 or so pages I've drawn of SLOP you can see a nifty progression of art and style. Say there's an average of 7 frames per page... that's 735 separate drawings I've done. Every page is practice.

The other trick has been to try and not stay in my comfort zone. The comic forces me to draw angles I've never drawn...critters I've never drawn. It forces me to work on a background now and then. I have to draw objects.

I've got a long way to go before I feel proficient, but I do think I got a knack. Just takes work work work to expand it beyond that.

a sexpert only if you count the pillows I've humped. :)

And yup, staying out of the comfort zone goes a long way towards learning new things.
