Hey guys. I'm going to make a new comic strip based on a blue robot. I am really enjoying these new character designs I made. It's simple, i guess. It's not always going to be funny, and it's basically for nobody except me (no schedule). But here they are, I thought some of you might like them:

Here's another character. I'm only planning on having 4.
Robobo, Jimmy, Zugg-Zug the Troll and Jimmy's girlfriend who I've yet to come up with. So far I'm enjoying making these characters. Zugg-zug is a troll with an unstoppable hunger for business and aquisition. He's inquizative and is great with numbers. But even though he is intellectual he still walks, talks and acts like a troll in matters not concerning business.
Niiice! What did you use to make them?
Character designing is fun.Quote:

When you do get around to the comic, be sure to post a link :)
Yes! I thought the exact thing!
Robobo = GIR
Perfect. ^^
What's GIR?
I didn't mean to copy anybody elses work. I honestly came up with him on my own. Oh and here's another one, it's Jimmy's girlfriend Grace.

So far I've got compliments in real life on all of them. Most people like Zuggy the best though.
Zugg-zug isn't to scale in the picture either. He's the largest of the characters, not the smallest.

Excellent stuff! I actually like Robobo the most.

I have this one drawn out but I'm not happy with the final panel. It lacks a big punchline. It's okay, it's definitely not terrible, but it could be better. I'll have to think about it. That's the great thing about doing a webcomic for yourself, really. I have no schedule and can take my sweet time.
Anyway I need some suggestions on the art, etc.
EDIT: I changed the last panel to mention his tinfoil hat. I think it works... makes me laugh atleast.
Me likey.
Looks good to me. The font is a little bland though, why not try to plot your print handwriting with one of those glyph-font-maker-thingys.Quote:
