Commentary

Sometimes, when I make visual choices, I do try to consider what others are likely to prefer.

For this comic, I kicked that thought out the window and drew Elliot how I wanted to draw Elliot.

Not that I imagine an onslaught of people opposing how I drew Elliot, mind you. It's just there were choices (such as eyelashes and lipstick) that I briefly considered not doing because I imagined negative hypothetical feedback.

Then I looked at my plush Honey Badger, Oda, and I knew what I had to do: Not give a carp, and draw what I want.

I mean, to be fair, I was reacting to imagined reactions that were pushing me to not do something I wanted to do. Probably best to listen to the plushie Honey Badger I named after the creator of One Piece.

These are the correct not givings of carp (not that you give a carp ;D), and the correct opinions about games. I too like video games that are good. Also some that are bad, but you can't win them all.

*looks at commentary* *looks at Oda's advice for drawing women* Oda's advice: o 8x *winces*

Well I think Elliot is beautiful and should have kissed Diane, but she's got a different girlfriend now.

I think doing what you want ought to be the heart of making art. :)

You draw for a living. You should draw just to please yourself sometimes. Besides I often like what you draw when you don't give a carp. And I like the crap-carp substitution because I do it too.
