A little play on words about the study and practice of art.
This is the caricature gallery of Delos Woodruff. Most of these caricatures are done in a party caricature style. While there should be a clear likeness, a caricature is not the same as a portrait. The main idea of a caricature is to bring out something fun about the person; something that you can't easily do just by taking a photograph. Also please remember there is traditionally a humor element, so you may look a little cuter, silly, younger or maybe even older!
I took a little more time than usual on these caricatures and I like them much more because of it.
The following caricatures are done in the party caricature style. These are usually done within eight minutes for one person or about twelve minutes for two persons. Some are celebrity subjects, some are not.

I'm currently employed full time, but I do take on the occasional color caricature work. They make great gifts! The most common requests are for one person ($15) and two persons ($25) on a single page. E-mail me with the details..

Promote Your Webcomic
All webcomic artists want to promote their work. That's a given. What we have been lacking is an online place to learn how to promote. How much should you spend on advertising? What else can you do to get a bigger audience? What resources exist for us to take advantage of?
It's new, but there is now such a place. Its' mission is to collect all these resources together so we can all benefit. So, go. Check out how to promote your webcomic and then suggest a resource in the appropriate heading.

Lord of the Trees
Things may have finally just gotten better.
Well, of course, the boys are in full scale retreat and Dark Jay has declared himself Lord of the Trees. None of that is good, per se.
The good part is that DJ is finally done monologing.

Madscottby S.R. Gallatin
Madscott starts out as black and white line drawings but switches over to color in early 2008. A month later it switches back and for a good reason. Even though it looks good, the artist doesn't want to rely on color to carry the comic. The line drawings are not especially detailed but that's not the charm of the strip. I'll come back to that after I talk about some of the details that support it. See the rest of the review right here.
