If he just added the mustache it would be pretty accurate.
>>77824526
Please tell me someone has punched this man in the face.

someone squirted him with water from a spray bottle.
Whomp is the only honest one.

Abby Howard
>>77824684
This. Draws himself warts and all. Is beloved for his honesty and humor
Tracy Butler
>>77824684
I don't know. Katie does a pretty good job too
>>77824706
10/10 would fuc
Fat women really, really like doing webcomics.
>>77824672
Katie Tiedrich sports a fairly accurate representation in awkward zombie.
>>77824721
Wait they're women?
>>77824632
Jack knows what he's doing
Katie Tiedrich
>>77824721
Oh yeah, she does a great job too
>>77824576
Honestly I'm not all that surprised.
>>77824522
Why does the guy draw himself so cute. God damn, is there anygayR34 of the drawn version of him?
>good creators draw tongue in cheek caricatures of themselves
>shitty ones make themselves look cute and moe
I was pretty surprised when I saw what Katie and Ronnie actually looked like.
>>77824721
Looks like a female ProJared.
>>77824672
I remember the whomp guy looking much more cute then a circle wit beard
>>77824787
Ronnie's honestly looks thinner in real life than in the comic.

>>77824767
Johnny Wander doesn't look too terrible. I mean, it's basically accurate to what they look like.
>>77824522
I bet those two will look like Greek gods if they do some insane workout/weight loss scheme.
>>77824672
No, real Ronnie looks and acts quite a bit different from comic Ronnie. For one thing he's actually very tall.
>>77824745
It's a pretty fucking sad wish fulfilment fantasy.
He could just as easily have drawn himself as a normal person and have a giantess with massive tits big enough for a person to sit between.
He has a lot of mental issues, but the inferiority complex on display there might be the root for most of the others.
>>77824526
Is he wearing an isis shirt?
>>77824822
>she's engaged
Good luck trying to kek someone, anon. Also, her face isn't super great, so I dunno.
>>77824850
Holy shit. Can you not read cursive?
>>77824822
>I would until I couldn't.
How hard would you have to do her until you can't?
>>77824849
It's a joke.
>>77824826
It's actually one of my favorite journal comics and what made me want to do my own.Too bad I don't really have enough shit going on in my life right now.
Haven't kept up with it lately because I was waiting for lucky penny to finish so I could binge that and get back to what I came for in the first place.

>>77824897
Pretty hard.
Knowing me, my abs/core would get tired after a while and I'd start losing my rhythm.
>>77824605
Oh god, and all this time I was fooled into thinking she was a cutie.
>>77824849
Do you want to talk about it anon? Do you want to talk aboutbeautifulsweatyfeetWould you like that,little man?
>>77824781
Well that's a stupid dichotomy to create. I don't want to go all "MY STYLE", but you're complaining that someone's making something that's supposed to look cute look cute. If anything, that they can do that would make them a good creator, or at least, a creator that's doing well.
What makes Whomp endearing is the "realism" of the character, sure, but you can't just go applying that to everything when they aren't really comparable beyond being representative of the creator.
>>77824975I don't even know what comic that is.
I was just making a jab at how that could sound like some serious projection.
>>77824975
>>77824949
Such negativity. Jack's draws himself as a hamster, so? Why the hate?
>>77825005
>you have a problem
>N-NO, YOU HAVE A PROBLEM! W-WANNA TALK ABOUT IT??
Always the same passive-aggressive deflection shit with JJ and his shills. Always the same, it's so goddamn sad. Does he instruct you to do this on the forums or do you just do it because it's a good way to silence the people who don't like his shit?
>>77824605

It's not like you can't mix the two. Personally, some of the neatest stuff is when you've got a mix of impressive backgrounds and simplistic characters, creating a sort of synergy.
Though I could just be talking out of my ass.
How about Tracy Butler? I'm intrigued by what what this marmoset looks like.

>>77825337
Have you not seen his channel lately?
>>77825328
Pretty much what you'll expect.
>>77825328
This guy has to be one of the more assburger or OCD webcomic creators out there.
Huge swathes of his comic are devoted to walls of text explaining how everything in his universe works despite nobody but him caring.
>>77825351
>>77824605
she looks better than the last pic someone posted of her.

It's not bad to want to flesh out your comic universe.
>>77825357
>white
>fat
>goatee/beard
>glasses
Are these guys genetically predisposed to draw webcomics, or do webcomic authors mutate into this stereotypical look after years of doing them?
>>77825036
Because his comic is just a furry version of Least I Could Do (and yet he gets nuclear butthurt when this point is raised instead of admitting pandering it's furshit), and he is precisely like Ryan Sohmer in every single regard. but he somehow gets a pass despite his incredibly annoying smugness and the way he takes any critique as a personal attack and rushes to make a comic about it where he ridicules his supposed "attacker" in the most childish way possible.
Sohmer gets shit on for it. JJ gets praised.
The only difference is that Sohmer has no dudebros willing to protect him online, while JJ has plenty of fucked up furfags eager to protect him so he'll keep catering to their obscure fetishes.
>>77825362
So pretty much it sums up like "you don't give a fuck about my shit i don't give a fuck about your shit so I'm doing it anyway whether you like it or not"?
>>77825416
There's actually a comic where he drew himself (and not his squirrel avatar) but i cannot for the life of me find it.
>>77824522
I'm still in a shock about the fact that's what Emi looks like
>>77825415
>>77825427
It's more like he does it to the point where it hurts the narrative. It's not bad to include world building, but stifling the story just so you can have the characters go back and forth on how EXACTLY a gender changing gun works for several strips is bad.
>>77825421
>Caring this much
You need more chill in your life bro.
>>77824522
He looks pretty average imo, just needs to cut his bowl hair. Not sure why he's got an anthropomorphic cow as a sidekick though
>>77825456
Aren't you referring to the NP strips which are a side project to the main comic?
PA did it up right a couple years back.
>>77825477
I don't read the strip anymore. I stopped reading it when he did a house party arc that lasted 6 months for the reasons I mentioned.
>>77825497
SO BALD

>their faces
My friend dated TheOatmeal for a bit. She says he's a pretty attractive white guy that likes to cheat.
Pen Ward is vert frank about how he draws himself.
>>77824522
I'd been wondering why only the guy was in videos on their channel, now I understand
>>77825549
>>77825541
True but her voice gives you such a different image of her
>>77825416
>White - because most middle class citizens that would draw a webcomic are white.
>Fat - because you have to spent time drawing, praticing, or consuming media related to your work, so you dont exercise a lot.
>Goatee/beard - Uhh...they look good sometimes, but many people go for it because its better than shave everytime.
>Glasses - you fuck your eys by reading a lot, even more on front of a computer.
Thats why so many webcomic artists look the same. You will also notice that girls are usualy like this too.
Hell, I think that a good portion of 4chan probably is like that too.
Its so good to be a /fit/ brazilian guy tho.
>>77825553
>that likes to cheat
I'm gonna need some more info on that.
>>77825510
It got way, way better.
I can see why you left at the time tho.
But in retrospect, that was a hell out of interesting arc.
>>77825010
>>77825633
Like cheat on the people he's with. I can't go into any further details.
>>77825589
huh. not what i expected.
>shitty cute chibis
step it up westerns
>>77825654
Plus he's started doing more risqué art which should please the people on /aco/.

You forgot one:

I hope you're not implying all manga is good based on that.

I think it is the logic conclusion of the other poster. Either he is an idiot or all manga is good.

Tycho is spot on, Gabe was too hard on himself, presumably not to rub it in on Tycho.
>>77825902
And losing a few thousand pounts, and getting some sun, and better bone structure and growing a bit taller.
But yeah, THEN you'd have a lady truly worthy of being lusted after on /co/ because she draws a webcomic.

That's because he sucks at drawing and never really improved

Does it count if they're self insert characters?
>>77825984
>He'd be funny at the very least.

Then why aren't his cartoons?
>>77825802
Hirohiko Araki didn't draw himself like shit.
If you own a webcomic, never ever give out your real name or post your face anywhere people might find it.
Especially if you're a woman.
>>77825930
that's the joke
>also japanese GF
>>77825984
Provided you're 12 and impressionable, sure.
>>77825991
When i look at Alex i'm reminded of Elijah Wood.
>>77825712
That...is oddly cute for some reason?
>>77825988
He looks like a butch lesbian.
>>77825829
Well, yeah, that's why I said to look better.
>>77825939
Nah, her weight is OK, she just need a better haircut, glasses and clothes. Those things can make a huge difference.
The problem is that what she wears makes her look worse instead of better.
>>77826005
That's because Araki is actually hot IRL
If anything he's being humble
>>77825730
Black artists are the creepiest motherfuckers.
Here's Sucrose when she was in high school.
>>77825988
And from the comic which he used to propose to his girlfriend.
It's pirate themed because they met on Talk like a pirate day.
>>77825991
Too bad Alex is filthy redditor

>>77826040
No wonder he's obsessed with being politically correct in his comics.
>No Ronnie
I thought /co/ liked that fat fuck.
There's an important lesson to be learned from this thread. If someone draws an avatar of themselves in their work, it is often inverse to their actual appearance, though sometimes it goes so far beyond reality that it betrays their inhuman level of autism instead (examples from the thread included):
Cute/Funny/Attractive/Badass idealized avatar = Ugly motherfucker whose actual appearance screams "I've got nothing to show for in my life except my webcomic", often obnoxious, overly-sensitive and tumblr-tier drama queens as well (Jaltoid, 90% of all webcomics with self-inserts)
Ugly/Stupid/Incompetent/Weak/Generally self-deprecating caricature of author = Normal-to-attractive person who has low self-esteem and/or has no qualms about making fun of themselves, usually normal-to-amusingly-odd in personality (Ronnie, Katie Tiedrich)
Inhuman/Animal/Alien/Whatever the fuck avatar = Neckbeard/dyed-hair landwhale abominations who makes even the dumbest and ugliest of category 1 look like winners and sex symbols, guaranteed to be batshit insane (Dobson, Dan Shive, the entire furry fandom)
>>77826103
He got popular.
>>77826103
look again
you could even use ctrl+f
>>77826103
>not reading the thread
>>77825796
But she has a modestly successful webcomic.
That's not a waste.
It's better than what most people do with them.

>>77824522
The real question is what author has the most punchable face?
>>77826085
>>77825730
>Fart Fetishes have existed long in the past
>>77826008
Why?
The only time I'd say have an alias is if you do some porn, but do other stuff too so your search history is relatively clean. And that's only if you want to get hired somewhere down the line and care about that kind of thing.
>>77826103
You know what would be funny?
If he did another comic where thinking about suicide is the punchline.
>>77825991
Not when he's put his actual caricature in the show several times. He's even in the season 2 opener.
>Some of this artist draw themselves cute but in real life they look ugly
>While others draw themselves ugly but in real life they look cute
Why do this?
>>77826133
Dobson, No contest.
>>77826103
Whomp honestly hasn't been very good lately.
But Ronnie actually isn't ugly in real life.
He's not exactly handsome, but he's a jolly-looking guy at least.
>>77826134
Fetishes are like Phobias. They're often irrational and the people who have them don't really want them.
>>77826111
>Dan Shive
>batshit insane
That's a bit much.
>>77826153
basically, self esteem.
>>77826144
That's a pretty accurate depiction aside from no mostache
>>77826153
because ugos want to be good looking and good looking people do it for jokes
>what about max g tho
>>77826172
That can differ between person to person.
Katie is probably the most accurate when she draws herself and her fiance.
>>77826133
Dobson

Webcomic artists aren't remarkably healthy upstairs.
>>77826062
... Which one?

Why she looks like from Invader Zim?
>>77826230
The sad part is me and Sugar would've probably been friends in High school.
Madeline Rupert of Sakana does it pretty well.
She focuses on capturing her expressions rather than her features. Simultaneously, she doesn't attempt to self-glamorize, as she renders herself as a lumpy, alligator-mouthed rectangle. The resulting character feels authentic to the person, even if it doesn't match said person's likeness.
>>77826351
Because she was a 15 year old.
>>77826336
Choo choo
>>77826300
WHERE ARE HIS LEGS

Because that's what she was into at the time.
>>77826346I'm shorter then Buckley

That's a comfy fuckin' life, my man.

Hans Christian Andersen, the author of the majority of the world's most beloved fairy tales, many of which later became the basis for many of the most beloved Disney films (most lately "Frozen" adapted from his novel, "The Snow Queen", was also a chronic masturbator who died a virgin.
He habitually fell in love with everyone who showed him any kindness, male or female. For a while he attempted to court the daughter of a theatre owner, at the time he wrote her constant letters (several a day) and on most of them, as well as every page in his diary, he noted if he had jerked off with a little "x". Every x he made meant he has beat the meat while writing, or that same day.
Some of his diary pages goes along the lines of:
"Monday, rested at Oersted manor. Dinner at the parlour and entertained with my new poems. Saw the cleaning girl, just turned 15 they told me. Some beautiful tits on her though. I should care to see her mothers too. xxxxxxxx"
>>77826351
