First of all, I just want to say Thank You to everyone that has read FAT Fridaze so far :) I really appreciate it... it's still the really early stages so the kinks aren't all worked out just yet... and if you haven't read it, there is still time!! (just click........ here.)
I had been wanting to write for characters like this for a while. Gay guys that I could relate to... I hope as these guys get fleshed out other people can relate to them as well. I also like the simplicity of the format... the story can never be too long because there just isn't enough space.
I think some people are under the impression that all comic strips are LOL-athons... but really some of these aren't going to even attempt to be funny (I know the punch lines are lagging a bit on the first few, haha)... they're just little "slices" of these character's lives. The stories will range in genre as well as the art... Sometimes these guys look more "realistic" and other times they are extremely cartoony... I've done a lot of stories with Mews the cat so far too that I'm excited about.
The best part so far is that this is a great little project to work on in my down time. Sketch something out here, finish inking something there... before too long it's colored and ready to post. I am really excited about Strip: #006 that posts this Friday... the art is better (getting more comfortable with drawing these guys) and this isn't just a short little "quip"...
I've fleshed out about 20 now... and I'm really excited with where it's going already.
Thanks for checking it out you guys!!
