We’re gonna take you to the folks that make comics, no matter where they are. If you make them, or know someone that does in your hometown or region, shoot us an email to creators@comicsareevil.com and we’ll be sure to feature them right here.
Todd Sullivan sent us this example of his WebComic, Gadget Hovel. Here’s what he has to say for himself:
I’m thirty one years old (even if my art looks like a pre-schooler drew it) and I’ve been drawing GadgetHovel for about a year and a half; I’ve been cartooning in general for about 5 years. For my “real” job I work on computers. These days I work I.T. for a big organization here in Anchorage, Alaska (fixing people’s email, installing software, figuring out why users can only print in landscape from Office, etc.), but ten years ago I worked at CompUSA in the Tech Shop which is VERY similar to the fictional computer store that my comic takes place in.
Of course, we now have to share TODAYS GadgetHovel comic, as it’s very timely, and on a subject near and dear to our hearts:

Make sure to visit Todd and his characters at GadgetHovel often, and tell ‘em Comics Are Evil sent ya.

Fascinating post on how Paul Duffield handles the creation of artwork from line drawing:

To shading:

To color flats:

To the final image, which I’m gonna make you go visit because a) this kind of inside info is too precious to not share, and b) you have GOT to read Freakangels, if you haven’t already.
