emsnippet asked: Why some people can reblog asks... because of something called "missing-e" which isn't endorsed by tumblr, but is a type of extension for it. I don't use it, but I hear it's good.
megavikingman asked: Hey, this ask is for the person asking for comics recommendations. Definitely agree about Y: the Last Man, Saga, Mouse Guard, Fables. Also, Walking Dead, Memorial, Courtney Crumrin, Bone, Adventure Time, Saucer Country and Mind the Gap are all great books featuring strong, positive (and anatomically sound) female characters. Generally, the indie books do a better job of that, but Batgirl and...

About amateur artists: a repost
My blog is about professional work that is done to show the most sex appeal while fudging/ignoring basic rules of anatomy. I’m not going to complain about a bad drawing as much if the picture is not intended as “heylookomgsexy”. Heck, I look at the art I did in the Gargoyles comics: it was pre-life drawing classes… and I didn’t know what the heck I was doing with legs and pelvises, let me tell...
Anonymous asked: Hi, I was wondering if you could make the ask you answered on may 9 rebloggable as you went through a lot of important points, especially the last part about the blogs that carp on amateurs.
octobootle asked: I'd like to start reading comics, but the one time I went into a comic book store I was immediately out of my depth and felt like a n00b girl. Also the comic I bought ended up being really rubbish (I shan't say which one because it's by a v. popular artist). Can you recommend any comic books with good, non-spine-snappish art and a good storyline that doesn't treat women like...
zethia asked: Thank you so much for this! I'm glad that you're seeking to correct misportrayal of women in the media while still being polite and constructive about it. We expect professional artists to draw well, but would you apply that frame of thinking to amateur artists who may not be familiar with anatomy? I know quite a few whitewashing blogs - while it IS a sensitive issue - that carp on...
8bitmaximo asked: People trying to see a full bust and a full ass shot at the same exact time are way too greedy.
cryoftheancients asked: I love this blog. One of the main reasons I read manga and indie comics more than mainstream or superhero is it's easier to find examples of the former realizing comics are a visual storytelling medium than the latter. A lot of that has to do with the latter sacrificing visual storytelling for a gratuitous pin-up with pages of dialogue. They also don't realize women are sexiest when...

Calling for Suggestions and Submissions!
I’ve been really busy in April with the April Drawing Challenge (which was great, by the way, lots of participation and awesome art!), with commissions, and with a few comic projects, so I haven’t spent much time looking for comics to fix. Do you guys have any suggestions? I’ll gladly take them! Just use the “submit your own edits” link on the right to send me a...
pondicherry-baby asked: It's frustrating that when I bring this up a lot of my male friends accuse me of being pedantic, but the minute I draw a half naked man (with, to the best of my ability, correct anatomy) they can get quite offended at their sex being objectified. Keep screaming this from the rooftops - you are awesome<333

Your responses to the latest post
You guys!
I sincerely did not expect the five replies I got in my asks after I posted my reply. Instead of answering them all individually because some could get the same answer over and over, I decided to do it in one post.
Okay, first of all, thanks for the support on the excuse of “style”. astrail pretty much sums up what the Style post is about, and I know Liefeld’s...
canoftoast asked: Hey, love the stuff your doing on the More Kickin' Ass blog. Rather than anatomy issues, I have a question about story writing for a female lead character. I am trying to flesh out the lead heroine of my story, but I want her to overcome a personal issue through the narrative of the plot. (i.e: In order to fly, she must overcome her fear of heights. Not that exactly but thats the jist.) Any...
orobasart asked: I'm all 100% for less sexism in comics, but honestly I fined your editing comic art a bit pedantic. This stuff is meant to be stylized and most of your editing seems to suck the life out of the art you are critiquing. Sometimes physics, anatomy and physiology just don't matter, it's all about the feeling the work conveys. I'm not a fan of Rob Liefeld's drawing of tiny...

So many bonus points indeed. Much laughs from my end. :D
