Description
More Tsutaja, the "Grass Snake" Pokemon - which just happens to have arms and legs.This was an experiment in trying to speed up my comic artwork - I stripped out a lot of the unnecessary processes and flashy artwork effects to focus on pushing out a comic as quickly as possible.
I finished this comic in around 6 hours, give-or-take. This is about 1/10th of the time it has been taking me to finish comics previously.
I'll probably be aiming to create comics in this new style from now on, but I do have some older unfinished comics which use my old artworking methods so I'll try to finish those up eventually.
I know I haven't finished the "May Contain Nuts" four-part run yet, but it has become terribly clear to me that I have been giving myself way too much work to do when creating comics.
I've finished the linework for part 4 of May Contain Nuts, but it still needs a lot of work doing to it before I can submit it (don't worry I will put it up eventually).
I had real trouble drawing Tsutaja at first - its eyes are so huge in relation to the rest of its body it took me a good few attempts to get them looking right. I think I have the hang of drawing Tsutaja now though.
Please leave comments regarding my new comic art style if you feel you have something to say.
Update: On 23 November 2010, the Western name for the 'Grass Snake Pokemon' was announced as 'Snivy'.

His last evo has no legs or arms yet him and his other form does, doesn't make that much sense either

Well, that's how real snakes evolved, isn't it?
They had limbs to begin with, but through the adaption/evolution of successive generations lost them altogether.

Your comics are great, you know how to deliver a good punch-line, and of course you capture the moment nicely with the images themselves.

I think most of my nicknames for Snivy will start with 'Tsu' or at least 'Ts' - in reference to Tsutaja/Tsutaaja/Tsutarja.
At least we know how to spell the English name properly.

I think Tsutarja is supposed to be based off of the serpent from the story of Adam and Eve. Who loses it's legs due to having tricked the woman into eating fruit. Though I do have to agree, when I first heard Tsutarja was a "Grass snake Pokemon" I literally said, "What the frak? It's not a lizard?"
