Hello there!


I'm Jops, one of the hundreds of geeklings that populate this world.
I think roleplaying and drawing are my two main activities.

About webcomics, well, i started reading Sluggy about 3 years ago, then followed by Kovalich's Dork Tower. Only at the beginning of this year (more or less when this place was created, if i'm not wrong), i discovered Keenspot, and now the comics i'm reading online are countless (as well as the ones i read "offline").
I'm also about to start my own, i only have to wait for keenspace to solve their problems and process my account request. :roll:

Well, that's all.

Good Forum Thread on Pens, Paper and Inking


An informative thread at Rocketbox about pens, paper and inking.

I was interested to see Paul Taylor mention that his favorite way to draw is on newsprint with soft lead pencils. I wouldn't think that scanned well but from the looks of Wapsi Square, apparently it works just fine.
