Webcomic Update

[sroni]

So, lost the sketchbook, found the sketchbook. Yay. I have some story arcs planned, but mostly it's a "Questionable Content" type comic- ie, a gag comic centering a set cast of characters.

I went to work on said comic, and worked on it for half an hour, and only got two panels done. (I'll do the other half hour before I go to bed. We got interrupted for dinner.) Why did it take me so long? Because it took me twenty minutes to get the lines of the comic drawn. The lines dividing a page into four panels. I am that level of OCD. I finally handed the ruler, sketchbook and pencil to Squirreltail, because if he draws the lines, I won't bitch at him, while if I draw the lines, they'll never be perfect.

So, question: I know that the proportions aren't right on my characters, but that's kind of the joke. Is that okay, or should I work on making my characters more actual human looking and less caricatured?

Just to clarify- I'm not really OCD. I just definitely display those tendancies when drawing. Because I want to fix it. Fix it. Fix it. It's why I had to hand it over to Squirreltail to draw the lines. Because it was slightly off balance, and I kept trying to fix it.

Emily's the same way, on her writing and her painting, as well as in other areas, so I know just what you're talking about. Me, I'm maybe no OCD enough.
