In other news
Monday, September 15th, 2008I’m going to play copycat for awhile and just do the same as Krishna did recently in his blog.
Take a gander at the strip for today. It’s in color, as it always is. The problem is that I actually… kinda… almost… more or less… kiiiiinda think it looks better in black and white.
This is the same strip, in black and white:
When I started the strip I knew from the beginning that it would be in color. Every strip I read at the time was, and I saw no meaning in making it black and white since… well, hell; the screen can display millions of colors – if there’s anywhere a comic should be in color, it should be on the web, right?
But now, I almost feel like the color is detracting from the comic, rather then make it look better. In b&w, it reminds me of PvP (Yeah, I know. Nowhere NEAR that good. I said “REMINDS me”) and if I made it in b&w, I could focus more on making the artwork nicer and more fluid, with more different shoots and stuff. It’s harder now.
So I’m asking you guys, aka “my readers” – what do you think? Maybe you even think it looks better in color? Am I just talking nonsense? Maybe you hate me now? Maybe you think I’m ugly? Maybe you like tacos?
I would love some response on this.
And in other other news – Isaac got featured in a comic called “Finn-strip” made by our friendly neighbourhood Finn, Jarmo. 😀 Go check it out.
