Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Greetings people of Newgrounds!

I am new to the forum, and oh well, been an fan of comics for as long as I can remember. A few years ago I created my characters, called Gookles, and by year to year updated them.

I want to make a nice comic, yet I want you people to give me some feedbacks on my character.

You should first of all put much more effort into drawings, Perhaps study up in anatomy and from there on create your own characters.

Your character is very simplistic, perhaps adding more details and a more structured body will help.

looks like pedophilic propaganda XD

Aha, I'll try to add more details... yet I make him look like an Marvel Superhero, with all those BIG muscles.

I'll post once I got a better one.

Edit: Forgot "can't" =/

Here's an better version of him, this time in Black %u02DBWhite ;D

Hmm, yeh I'll try shading a bit, give him maybe some more clothes and fix his head, thanks for the tips.

Heres one of it again, this time used more time, around 6 hours... gave some shades too, and reflect, with some more detailes on the head and the body.

I like it. He looks very cartoon, like a jelly bean when you're tripping ya know?

Good to hear you like it ^^

I will make one with a bit more of them on one picture... maybe even give each one an different emotion.

I see you have added some highlights to the car. I think you should add some shading to it, as well as possibly emphasize the shading on the character a bit more.

Alright, I'll get right tomorrow on it to work, thanks for the tips.

Back I am, wasn't posting for long... had a few problems with the connection.
This time, I got two old pics, one from 1 years ago, and the other is from half a year. I've been working on the characters for a while now, and before I post the finished product, I'll post some sketches, I know, they got a few problems, but I fixed some of them.

The first picture is the 1 years old one, back then my characters looked realy handicaped :S But with the help of my art teacher, must say "Thanks!" I've build them quite good :3

Here you can see the character I am going to stick with, and the colored one, are the half a year old ones, I've "pimped" them since that, not much but looks better to me. Then I got a few sketches of them in action...

This took six hours?
Not to boast but I could literally do this in five minutes.

Six hours?!!
I said years, and yes, I too can do that in half an hour... please post useful comments...

Oh well, sorry, I thought about the last two pictures... yes, it took me 6 hours as I tried a bit at Adobe Illustrator... a vector picture.

good animation practice dude!
full rotations are really difficult but these look good.

Thanks mate, I got a bit better ones now, I just have to draw 2 more positions and I'll post ;D

Quick question:

Do all of your characters look like dicks?

WHAT!! My characters don't look like dicks!
If you think so, then the Worms must be dicks as well by your opinion... you sure must be an pervert one by thinking so >=/

Here comes my product... Sir Gookles with his Squire "Stinky" and his Magic Singing Sword.

Some lil' sketches, I'll try to rotate him, and will show the colored one in a week...

It's nothing bad, but yeah, very simplistic, and doesn't awe me any way.

Well, for a comic, It's better that the characters are simple... as toons should be simple...

i dunno about that.
some comics are greatly detailed.
for an animation simple drawings are best, but I dont think that's always the case for a comic.

Evryone has his style... some draw very detailed, and some draw like little children in kindergarden... evry one has his OWN style.

It's nice of you to post and defend your own style.
And yours is particularly funny, as it is very "cartoonised"
Like me, you don't use much colour, or at least on all the images you posted.
You could give even more life to your character by creating a story for it.

Not every comic character is detailed, some people like simplicity. Mickey Mouse wasn't very detailed!

Thanks, and yes, I got a story allready...
