That does look pretty cool.

New Domesticated Abuse is out! This one works a bit better than the last one, but is fairly poorly framed, and is probably the weakest (joke wise) of all the ones that I have storyboarded. I wanted it posted now, simply because it was fairly weak, and next week's comic needs to be a lot stronger because we are doing another contest giveaway next week. The framing is so poor because we ended up waiting until the last possible second to shoot it. It wasn't intentional, but it happened, and to make sure that it doesn't happen again, I've already shot next week's. That one, I am very happy with, and can't wait to put it up.

Suggestion: Make the in-between-shots borders much thicker

OANST · #**723** 02-03-2015, 08:19 AM

Not a terrible suggestion! I'll see what I can do about that. I'm slightly limited by the crappy software that I'm using on the iPad, but I think I could probably pull that off. I didn't want this one to spill over to a second page, and that's partly why everything is so tight on it, but I also realized that there was a problem with the way we were shooting, and I corrected that for the new one we just shot.

Edit: So, of course, it's the comic that I thought was so unfunny that I almost scrapped it that is performing the best with people that haven't like the page. I'm actually getting people sharing this one to their friend's pages.

But that's domestic abuse. Jumping the shark early, eh OANST?

Aye, I was gonna say, don't be afraid to get inventive with your camera angles. But sure you seem to know that from your text anyway.

And I guess the dialogue in the fourth speech bubble could be more centred. So watch out for that I guess.

Well, she didn't actually do it..... so it's okay!

This is actually something that I heard a lot during that week when she thought she was pregnant. But it was a bit more graphic. I got to hear how she was going to make a mold of my cock so she could have a dildo made of it, and then chop it off, and keep it in a jar next to the bed if I got her pregnant before the wedding. I toned it down.

I got this one without needing anyone to explain it to me. That's probably why this one is so much more popular than the previous ones.

OANST · #**727** 02-03-2015, 10:41 AM

Probably!

I kind of want to post the next one early on here, so I can get some feedback on it before I put it on the Facebook page. So, that's what I'm going to do.

Steph saying 'Shut up nerd' should be the next OWF meme.

Varrok · #**729** 02-03-2015, 11:06 AM

Or maybe not.

OANST · #**730** 02-03-2015, 11:14 AM

Or maybe yes!

Holy Sock · #**731** 02-03-2015, 11:28 AM

I enjoyed that one. Although I want to see strips where OANST is the domesticated abuser.

Do you think the strip would be better without the "Oh, Okay"?

OANST · #**732** 02-03-2015, 11:30 AM

Actually, the story board didn't include that line. I added it while putting the comic together because I wanted there to be a signal in that frame that she was already done hearing about it. I honestly think the comic is better with that line in.

Edit: Also, this stuff is pretty one sided. She is definitely in the power position in this relationship except for the very rare occasion when I actually get irritated with her. And that really never has anything to do with stuff like this. She gets her way 99 percent of the time because she knows that her getting her way makes me happy. And when she sees that I need to get my way, I get it, but I'm pretty simple. It doesn't take much more than sex, and some pot at the end of the night to keep me happy.

Holy Sock · #**733** 02-03-2015, 11:37 AM

I see what you mean there. Man, this makes me want to go back and make my webcomic of yesteryear! I'm getting a swirly mush of creativity from you, OANST.

OANST · #**734** 02-03-2015, 11:48 AM

Yeah, once they get going, it's hard to stop! I have an over abundance of story boards at this point because I've taken to carrying around a pen and binder wherever I go so I won't forget a new strip when I think of one. Some of them are long, and slightly complicated to shoot. In fact, the Don Quixote strip was not supposed to be the fourth one, but the one that I had initially planned for that day turned out to be way too complicated to get done in time, so I went simpler. Also, we're running a contest on the fourth strip, and I didn't want the contest strip to be four or five pages long, which the one that was planned will probably end up being. I'm going to try to keep it to three pages, though.

So, I didn't end up using the Don Quixote strip today, but instead used a new one. I thought the Don Quixote one would just be too wordy for a contest.
