actually yeah, that one is much more acceptable. it's a soldier with a pony, and not JEWS ABOUT TO BE KILLED

but still:

I wasn't really disgusted by the image itself, since it isn't a depressing war image with a pony in it for the sake of having a pony in it, I was disgusted by the commenter who believing that the image needs a pony in it for him to sympathize with the people in the image.

Agreed, if you want something "innocent and free", look at the kid in the damn photo.

He barely looks old enough to drive a car, let alone fight a war; the pony is pretty much unnecessary to get that kind of message across.

I remembered hearing somewhere he was 17, but looking it up right now the only description I'm seeing is "A young Marine private waits on the beach during the Marine landing, Da Nang, Vietnam, August 3, 1965."

But we can all agree a puppy would've been better

Well the image really helped me out, because I'm unable to have any human emotions if ponies aren't involved.

If I saw it before the edit I wouldn't have know if I should have been happy, excited, scared, ect, but now it's clear.

Uh yea.
The problem is, this picture is almost iconic in the realm of military photography goes.
I've seen it on posters and stuff. It is a REALLY good photo, and didn't at all need the pony.

[daijitsu]

did I argue for the pony to exist?

I've gone on a rant before about how terrible the person doing these history ponies is

It’s finished! Yay!

For fuck's sake.

I wish people would wait till the end of the story before accusing me of things like “ignoring criticisms.” While I don’t mine fan speculation on the contents of my stories, I do mind when those speculations turn into accusations and people get pissy with me not realizing I had planned a storyline twist all along.

I’m not particularly happy with the artistry of this story. I felt it was a bit looser and not as refined as the Cleo story. Part of that has to do with the fact I’m working overtime on several important projects all at once and SYAC was kinda low on the list. Still, there are a lot more wonky artwork in this story and I feel bad about that. I’ll try to do better for the next story.

I liked the interaction with Tenko and Carl. I think if I ever do another story with them I won’t jump too much farther into the future. I want to spend time with Tenko while he’s still struggling before he goes off to college. I think I’ve successfully been able to transform Carl into a real character and I’d like to learn more about his story...

I’ve personally been to several portfolio days long before I was thinking about going to college. Like Tenko, my parents felt it would be a good idea for me to start early. I remember it always being rather unpleasant and boring, but not much else.

I mentioned this before but this storyline was not meant to be a “how to” guide, though some people seemed to think it was. Tenko’s portfolio is not at all how you should approach an actual portfolio day.

When building a portfolio it is important to include a variety of work to show that you are willing to learn. The professionals there want to see figure drawing studies, still life, life drawings, as well as more abstract things like cartoons and comics (only if you’re going into that field). Basically, show as many different talents as you possibly can, and make sure to pick pieces you feel exemplify your specific interests.

New SYAC strips will be going up again in a few days. I gotta get caught up on some of my other projects first. Thank you for reading and I look forward to hearing what everyone has to say about this storyline.

How long has this guy been making comics for and how little has he improved. I don't mean to sound like a self important cunt, but I only started recently and his stuff is almost as simplistic as mine...
