Looks
Drawing Alice different again. I feel good about this one though. I think I might finally be figuring out how I want her to look.
I signed up with Twitter. Now you can see little messages from me during the day! It’s on right side of site, close to the bottom. I’m gonna try to get Locke to Twitter too, so it can say “Locke says” right under “Ence says.”
I also made a whole bunch of avatars. Does anybody even use those? Well, they’re nice to have, right?
Well, she looks nice! And maybe i’ll start using them.
uhm…lemme get this straight….You are Ence and you write comics about Ence who is not YOU who is but isnt at the same time? o_O
Do you write what is going to happen like on that horror movie? =O
Yes, and no. Haha. You’re thinking about it too much : P
I believe Ence and Locke are like Alter-Egos
Where’s the joke? Where’s the actual point of the comic other than to say, “I’m going to draw Alice this way now”? We know Encifer is supposed to be simplistic, (read: stupid), so there’s no new ground tread other than changing Alice’s hairstyle slightly, of which I didn’t even realize there was a difference.
Here’s why: She’s hardly a character. She just exists within this world. She has yet to take place in any extended plots, (read: wacky misadventures with demons for some reason), and I don’t know who she is. She’s Alice, but that isn’t who she is, that’s what her name is. As I said about Encifer, I know he’s not prone to think, he’s easily excited, and he’s silly when he wants to be, (read: Gabe). Locke is dry witted, smarter than Encifer, and into more obscue hobbies, such as responsibility, (read: Tycho). Alice is…a girl. That’s it. She’s friends of the two other cahracters and she’s a girl. That’s it. Oh, and she just got a haircut. Please, don’t make me go so deep into close reading that I have to point out that the only portrayal of a female character is purely based off of her hair/superficial qualities.
Give Alice a character or eliminate her altogether. Currently she’s wasted energy.
Alice Parade rained upon.
You would get the joke if you actually thought about the comic, and others before it, rather than critisize it with your lame comments..
And btw, you fail at trolling =/
I don’t know who Alice is either. She’s usually just used a third person that’s used when there needs to be a third person.
i think that people should just begin to ignore parade-rainer because it’s not rly having an effect on him
also i like alice, whats wrong with her?
Parade, I respect that your trying to help Ence improve, but do you have to do it so outspokenly? I mean, I understand not caring if people hate you, but there’s a fine line between not caring and wanting people to .-.
