Son of Sparta
A Tori 300 kicked into a bottomless pit joke was inevitable. It was going to happen whether I fought it or not. It was not an “if” so much as it was a “when”, so I guess my 300th comic was as good a time as any for a 300 reference.
It’s not completely irrelevant. 300 is getting a sequel next year. You can watch the trailer for it HERE.
Anyways. WHOO! 300 comics! Each hundred comic milestone seems to show up faster and faster. When I did the art update for the 200th comic, the new art style took me a little longer due to requiring more detail. At this time, it takes me about as long as I took before the art update, which is a good thing. Brings the question of what I should dedicate the new time I’ve gained through improvement to. Maybe the backgrounds, or maybe work on changing up the camera angle in every panel or so. Haven’t really decided on anything so I’ll just do what comes natural as I continue working!
What idiot passed up on the chance to call it “302”? (Or “302 Dalmat- *is shot*)
But, in all seriousness, congrats on making it to the 300 milestone. You’ve been doing great with your artwork, I must say. You mention before the art change vs. now, but hell, compare the first two or three comics you did with the art shift versus now – in the last 100 comics I can tell your characters and backgrounds both have gotten even sharper, cleaner and more detailed than I think you realize.
Also, their faces in the last panel! Have I mention how much I love how you draw your facial expressions? Of all the webcomics I follow, I can honestly say this is one of the ones I really think does the greatest character facial expressions. They really do make a significant portion of the joke, I think.
I’ve been messing around with gradients in the coloring so I may start integrating that more. And I do so enjoy utilizing facial expressions haha thank you for reading!!
Now that you’re getting the hang of this art form, its time to do them underwater Picasso style :)
You’re right. This is the future!
