New Poker Comic Strip, "Mucking Aces" - Page 4 - Poker News

Thanks very much for the comments. I'm glad many of you enjoyed it.

Because I found myself focusing too much on the negative comments and because I'm anal, I counted the responses. Of those that could be classified as clearly positive or negative, positive is ahead 61-3. I'd say 95%+ is an indication I should continue, so I will.

Best way to find out when there are new episodes is to follow @EponymousPoker on twitter. I won't be able to post links here, although I might post when there's something new to look for.

annie should add in the line "best female professional poker player in the world" or "poker icon and celebrity" to her self-intro, referring to her obnoxious blog slogans

and this, needs to be more haggard in the 1st and 5th pics for consistency imo:

Craptonyte was a good line/idea... I liked the comics, keep 'em coming!

The poker world has plenty of fodder for sure.

Thanks. I took some drawing and painting classes at a really good art school I'm lucky to live near -- the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA). Never drew any comics, though. I wasn't sure if I would be good at it. The main thing is to have an eye for composition, I think. I just draw what looks good to me. But then again, I think my website looks good too, so what do I know?

Nice to hear people liked Craptonite. When I was thinking about ideas for a poker comic strip hero, I wasn't sure if it work out until I thought of Craptonite and some other things like the $ symbol, then I knew I had to do it.

Ok, I mean this only as constructive criticism.

I dont like your composition. I believe the art could be more refined as it is I have this feeling it is overwhelmed with elements and the selection of colors and shades makes me feel off.

I dunno I have this feeling you are trying too hard on the art and not enjoying yourself enough. Perhaps you could try to relax a little? I enjoy when there is a feeling of "fluentnes" that I just dont see on the current state of your art.

fwiw I don't believe +EV's art is better, I believe it is too simple and straightforward but meh, its a formula that works.

Hope you keep on going and have success.
