Post-BBD plans and feedback

I think it's pretty evident that I kind of struck gold with this comic so I'd be a complete idiot if I didn't make any more long-term comics after this. I'll still be using this cast of characters for strips and stuff, maybe another long comic like this one later down the line, but I want to branch out a little and not repeat the same ideas.

I had an idea for an adventure comic that is a little too ambitious and I don't think I want to commit to another 50 page comic RIGHT NOW. So I'd prefer going with something a little smaller before that, and I already have what I think is a solid idea that's also a growing opportunity.

Boomer's Big Date started as an experiment to get better at drawing more expressive characters, hence the plot with all the twists and melodrama. I feel like that mission is accomplished, so I'm picking a premise that will help me get better at anatomy, which I think is one of my glaring weak points as a... (draftsman? why does the English language not have a word for "person who draws" separate from artist?)

I'll be making a similar post to this one on Twitter since it will have better reach, but God knows Twitter sucks ass for long term discussion, so I'd like to ask for your feedback here first: what are frequent issues that stick out to you about my drawings? Like, "you don't draw elbows properly", "poses are stiff", "bad foreshortening", etc. Don't worry about being harsh, I'm all ears. You guys are bankrolling me so I'd like to hear your feedback to deliver the best content possible.

Additionally, I'd like to ask you guys what the main appeal of my work is so far so I can see what needs to be worked on and what is indispensable for future projects.

Thanks in advance!

I’m here for all three slots honestly. The artwork is really good, I am invested in the characters, the humour cracks me up, and the porn is a pretty big turn on.

Exactly my sentiment

I cheated and voted for everything. Looking it up, it seems "artist" is the general term in English, with other terms being more specific like painter, etc. It seems to be super generic with it the specific medium is used. Drawer is a word though I don't know if that's ever typically used in that context.

The story and characters are great and all packaged nicely with the porn. I came for the porn but became a patreon pledge because I wanted that story dam it!

Was introduced and hooked when you are at around page 8 or so when it started of like "oh look, a hawt comic with a wolf dad which is really funny" and find myself fully invested in Boomer the moment he says "Fuck it" and kisses Miles. Really love all the tender character moments in the comic and where every page is a treat to read. Would hope to get to see more stories from all these characters in the future :). p/s: your art style looks great and despite your worries about anatomy (anatomy is HARD after all), the whole story felt immersive that there isn't anything that detract from the experience and break immersion (yes, am that invested in the characters XD) :).

I’n here for porn not gonna sugar coat it but the story has been interesting so I do like the character development. You have done great at keeping the balance between the porn and story without the story somehow overshadowing the porn.

FuzzyLopunny

2 things I hope 1that most not being here just for the porn decrease the amount of it 2 most being here not just for the porn means we can get a SFW zoomer big date as backstory to him and robbies relationships

I think for me it's a case of all of the above to varying degrees, but the character investment is definitely the top pick. I think that your expressive art style makes them feel real, so it's easy to relate to them and understand how they are feeling. For me, Joe definitely drives most of the humour, but the other characters invoke a range of emotions and get you hooked into the plot. This comic has been something I've looked forward to during the week and I'll definitely be sticking around to see what you do next. The porn is nice too, not gonna lie.

I'm really invested on the story and the not so commom characters, but my gad, BBD has made me smile, tense and hate, but a lot more to smile with the relationship development, the same as Minotaur's hotel with Asterus

It’s kinda hard to criticize this because there are only a few instances of it, but I have felt sometimes where you’ve got a character standing with their arms down besides themselves looking a little bit stiff with the fist always clenched and shoulders looking a little tensed. The only real example I can think of is the Asterion sprites from Minotaur Hotel. Although, I could understand if he’s supposed to look stiff and apprehensive. There aren’t many times that I’ve seen ya do this pose without the fist clenched and the shoulders tensed up, so maybe practice that a bit more? Quite honestly can’t think of anything else. I really like your art style and have been loving the hell out of this comic!

Well, looking at the poll responses most of the people are here because they're attached to the characters, so of course I'll be making more stuff with them after the comic is over.

At first I was here for the porn and I liked your rough art style. I was presently surprised to really enjoy the story and characters and haven't minded seeing more than I was expecting of that. I still enjoy the porn, but I'm donating to the patreon because your work has been really that awesome and I enjoy reading every new panel. :)

Macky

That's true, I'm planning on having a skinnier dude as one of the characters on the next comic. Thanks for the comment maty. How do you people feel about rams by the way? They don't get drawn very often and I think they're pretty cute.

Nanoff Yorbisnitz

That's not nitpicky at all, I'll be checking out some shading tutorials to improve that. Thanks for the comment.

Nanoff Yorbisnitz

The characters but mostly the romance between boomer and millies

Radical Raz

First I'd like to congratulate (yet again) on much your character emotion skills have developed. It already feels like you are miles from the "But Joe, his a guy!" expressions from the beginning of the comic. While those are quite funny, expressions like the Boomer reaction shot from page 40, show deep, real improvement. Well done. As for the thing I feel like you could improve the most, it's gotta be the variety of body types you draw. You are already pretty good at the muscular and musclechub types, while I feel like anytime you draw nearly any other kind it feels kinda lacking in comparison.

Matydos

I’m a huge fan of your art and this story really captured my heart. I’m really invested in these two - I hope with whatever you do, we get to see a little more of Miles and Boomer. But you did such a good job with this one, so I’ll be along for the ride no matter what you do.

Matt J. Rohweder

I really enjoyed the story telling as well as your unique and visually appealing art style. I’d love to see you branch out and try new things! I like that BBD didn’t just end with him fucking the guy but instead developed the characters a bit more and had a romantic aspect to it. One of the best ways to branch out is to try new things and not be stuck on the same central idea. There’s some comics that loose my interest if they go on for to long with no real direction to their plot.

Hellhound

I truly enjoy this comic, and I'm super happy you're looking forward to other stories! I honestly can't think of any constructive criticisms for you, the art you produce is really good and the story is compelling. If anything I'd suggest looking at improving shading so it's more consistent and to give it a bit more depth, but even that's nitpicky. And to your comment about your efforts to improve character expressions, I LOVE your characters expressions, it's so easy to connect with their emotions! Well done! Also, i think the word you're looking for is "Cartoonist"

Dusk

I love the wolf daddy and the romantic story😍

I am enjoying your story telling and think your artwork is good. Please keep up the great work and look forward to seeing how this and future comics develop
