It's crazy, just knowing that the world is round.
Hey people, or er, the two people reading this. What's up? Anything happen to you guys? No. Oh well. Let's talk shall we? Alright then; First things first, LAX gets the first "real" criticism,
I'm sorry but I get the feeling you call it "experimental" to cover up the fact that you lack the skills to make a decent comic. I'm all for trying new things, but when you get to a point where people just don't get it and it hurts to look at, it's isn't experimental. It's just bad. If you want to do your comic in an ungeneric, more abstract style, that's great. Really. But this comic simply looks like sketchy, unfinished manga. Uglyness is a flaw, not a style choice.Ouch? No. I think it's true. (That or this lack of sleep is killing me.)
So I suggest you keep experimenting, and try to find a style that's new and interesting, but doesn't torture the eyes of your audience. Good luck.
Second? I've made two films for your viewment pleasure, one is LAX @ SketchUp, which finally shows the v.2 model of LAX (which I stopped working on). It looks great, though you can clearly see why I stopped working on it, the limitations of my computer.
LAX @ SketchUp
The second short film I made is something short of a "What the hell...?" called a "A Little "wtf?" for Trucks (Probably Maybe)" which can be found here. If you have to ask, you best not know. By the way, that truck seen was a childhood toy. Both these short films were shot with my Logitech QuickShot Camara, which does not seem to work in mild darkness. Bah.
Third? I recently bought Gangs of London which I enjoyed. I went to the park a few days and totally lost the damn game, which means I pissed away thirty dollars. Bad? Maybe. This little event has driven me to downgrade my PSP from firmware verison 2.71 to 2.50.
Can't say I'm not having fun with all the homebrew that is out there, right now I got Doom, SmashGP, Super Mario Portable (Demo), Monkey 64, and some GBA emulator installed on the thing. I'm also downloading an ISO of Gangs of London as we speak.Foruth? I don't believe in fourth.
What's the last thing I got to say? I admitted to one of my best friends that I like both John Mayer and the Dave Matthews Band, he laughed, like I expected him to. Oh well, it's his fault he'll never hear songs like Crush, Crash into Me, and Something's Missing.
More? Looking over my dad's death certificate, I found one bit of shocking news to me that has opened my eyes. My dad was half white. Seeing that sent me into a little shock as I learned something about him that I never knew. How come he never told me? I will never know.
Last. Miss Big Fish (I have no idea how these Miss, Mrs, Ms thing works, I'm just trying to be polite.) from Big Fish Comic made me this damn cool opening intro for my little ugly webcomic.
That's it, I'm out

First, I don't really know if that counts as a criticism. He/she just said your comic was eyeraping and you used the words experimental to cover that up. I don't really know if it counts as sketchy manga either. The style isn't really similiar aside from the way you draw characters (big eyes, small nose/mouth). Anyway if I were to seriously sit and try to critique it, I'd say...you draw really nice buildings,backgrounds, etc and you have really good perspective shots but your people could use some improvement. They all sort of look the same and the faces aren't really expressive but that honestly could just be your style. All my people look the same and stuff but I don't really care so maybe that's the same deal with you.
Second, OMG YOU'RE PLAYING NINTENDO STUFF ON SONY!!
Third, you're one quarter white? Boo. Bak-gwai.
Fourth, Miss is correct but what the hell are you trying to be polite for anyway? Dude, you're not polite to your recovering stalkerholic. Ridiculous.
and lastly...Jebus, I'm spamming up your blog.
