Then please check out the MUSCLE TEMPLE kickstarter! It's a collection of Wrestling Comics being put together by my roommate Frank and all of our awesome cartoonist friends!

The System is Down
My Amazon EC2 instance is COMPLETELY HOSED! I got an email from Amazon today stating that something on my server is physically broken. I am completely locked out of everything.
I am going to need to start over on a different server. Luckily almost everything is in version control.
This might take a few days to fix. Luckily everyones data and pictures are stored outside the server on the S3 and RDS services.
Hello, Tyler. How are you doing? I wanted to let you know that the site is not loading.
Thank you for letting me know. I’m trying to work it out right now. It’s not looking so good though.
Hey tyler. WDC is down since yesterday. Is something wrong? Can you get it back up?
Thank you for letting me know. There is something wrong with the Amazon EC2 instance and Amazon is decomissioning the server. I need to figure out how to transfer it to a new server.
Hello Reddit
Thank you for visiting. I love that you are here and enjoy the site...but I am very sorry that I in no way was prepared for the amount of traffic I would be getting. Your hug is so warm and inviting...but...but...I cannot breathe. Oh no! I am being hugged to death.
This site is entirely run and developed by just one guy (Tyler) as a hobby project, so please be patient while I try my best to keep things working.
Thanks,
♥tYLER
Reflecting on the past 2 years
Hey We Draw Comics,
How have you been? I've missed you. Last Friday was our birthday. You officially became 2 years old. I'm really not sure what to do about you. I love you and I love the vibrant community that has grown from you. But I know that you have some problems and I know that your community would like some issues addressed. I have been watching. So let's try and clear some things up and see what we can do about moving forward.
Why doesn't Tyler update the site anymore?
We Draw Comics is still very much a hobby project. Despite being sponsored by Topatoco, this is really in name and friendship only. I am the only 'employee,' I am also the only one who is paying the rather large monthly server fees. At one point I was paying as much as $500 a month to keep We Draw Comics running and performing at an acceptable level. Luckily traffic and usage has dropped considerably and it only costs me about $150 a month to keep the lights on. But this adds up, it means I need to make at least an extra $1,800 a year just to keep WDC running.
This also means hiring someone is not really an option. People have offered to volunteer and I have not accepted their help, that is my bad. I was really just trying to do too much on my own and being way too precious over my own project and code. I'm sorry about this, and I am going to try and remedy this.
Moving Forward
I have a few ideas with how I would like to proceed with We Draw Comics, but I want to know what everyone here thinks.
It would really make my life a lot less stressful if I was not fully funding the server costs. What are your thoughts on We Draw Comics having a patreon? My goal would be to raise at least $100 a month to help in server fees.
Since We Draw Comics is all about sharing and creating as a group, I would like to start open sourcing the codebase for We Draw Comics. This will ease coordination and allow for official integration by some of our awesome users like Xrott
As part of the monthly patreon goals I will guarantee regularly scheduled updates, the more funding we get, the more time I will have to push updates.
Mobile? I'm not really going to say anything more about this but it is something I have wanted for a long time and with enough funding via patreon I could do.
As per usual I have way more ideas on the subject (often times more ideas than common sense) But I feel that these are the most important ones that are on my mind right now and my decision to go through with them entirely depends on how you respond.
Let's direct all discussion to this book: http://beta.wedrawcomics.com/books/read/2010
Back in business
Yes! The site is working again.
Now I am going through and trying to find all of the broken panels.
Any panels that have their larger image saved I will re-save the images so that it is being cached properly and shows up in all the locations.
I will 'remove' any panels that are totally broken.
I am really sorry about this guys, but thanks for bearing with me.
UPDATE:
Things are saving properly again. Some of the panels managed to be saved, some I think are lost forever :( If you have a screenshot of a missing image please leave it as a comment and I will reassemble your panel for you.
I probably have a days worth of work ahead of me sorting this stuff out but I really need to go check out GDCNext & ADC, maybe someone there will want to invest a bunch of money in WeDrawComics and then I can hire someone to help run this site. If you happen to be at GDCNext come find me and say "Hi!"
Hello tyler. You there? :'D I don't know if you know it already, but there seems to be some kind of error on wedrawcomics that breaks panels as soon as they're uploaded. The whole front page is full of broken panels already. :c WDC is one of my fav sites and I'd really like to draw on there again, so it would be awesome if you could fix this issue ASAP please. :'D Sorry if I'm a bother. - ShuGGaH
Nope nope nope! You are not a bother at all. Stuff like this is a huge lifesaver. Sometimes I am a little slow to respond because usually I jump right into trying to fix things.
I just posted a little blog about what is going on. I hope I can figure things out today :(
Site Broken :(
Hey Everyone,
As you may have noticed from the front page... THE SITE IS TOTALLY BROKEN. I am not sure what is happening yet but I have been working on it for the past two days and going over logs to try and figure out what might be going wrong. I am really, really sorry if anyone has lost any art.
I will make sure to let you all know when I figure out what is wrong.

We Draw Comics Turns 1
Today is the birthday of We Draw Comics!
We have been in beta for exactly 1 year.
We currently have only 1 employee: Tyler.
As a matter of fact the only person writing this is Tyler... so he is not entirely sure why he keeps using the word 'we'
In the coming month I will be releasing some seriously huge overhauls to the site. Stay tuned for Facebook and Tumblr integration, iOS support and much more. I was really hoping to get all of this ready in time for the birthday... but it is just not ready.

We have a winner!
The We Draw Comic Con Wacom Contest has come to a close. After very careful deliberation the judges from Wacom and I chose a winner. We looked at each panel and tried to find one that was exemplary in its artwork, humor, flow and cooperation. It was extremely hard to make a decision because there are some really fantastic panels in this comic. Ultimately we had to decide on a winner...
The winner of the Wacom Intuos 5 tablet is Juano,
He contributed not one but three excellent comic panels. It was really hard to decide on just a single best panel, so that fact that Juano made three really good panels help in the judges decision making process.
Congratulations Juano, and thank you all for participating and making some really top notch comics!
♥tYLER
Contest Extension.
I am back from the San Diego Comic Con. I am exhausted, but I had an awesome time. It was especially cool meeting some real life We Draw Comic users.
Since some users where at the San Diego Comic-Con they did not have time to compete in the Wacom Intuos 5 give away. So I am extending the Deadline to July 26th. I also really want to see how this story ends.
In short: Go add a panel to this comic for a chance to win a Wacom Intuos 5.
Win a free Wacom Intuos 5 by drawing comics.
Hey tumblr,
I know you are full of artists who love to draw. I bet someone out there would love to win a Wacom Intuos 5. Go over to http://wedrawcomics.com, read the rules and add a panel to this cool comic.
Please reblog this and tell all your friends.

Toronto Comic Arts Festival
I am exhibiting at TCAF, if you are in Toronto come say 'hi.'
I have some brand new comics and I will be displaying We Draw Comics on a brand new Wacom Cintiq 13 HD. So come read some comics and play around with this cool new toy that Wacom is letting me use for this show.

Explore More!
The past 2 weeks have been pretty crazy around here. There are a lot of new users and there are some stellar comics being made! Take a look at the Comic Book Covers jam, every single panel in it is solid gold. We Come Alive with the Moon is another extremely awesome comic.
New Features: You may have noticed some new additions on the Explore page. Last week I added a Search bar that will allow you to search for comics by their name. Today I added filtering options that will make it easier to find 'sequential' comics, 'free for all' comics and comics that have been completed. Hopefully these are intuitive enough to use, but if you have problems or ideas for improvement let me know.
In the news: Did you read the Tech Crunch article posted about We Draw Comics a few weeks ago. I was interviewed by Darrell Etherington and he is a pretty swell guy. Thanks Darrell.
Life of Tyler: If you read the Tech Crunch article you may have noticed that I also work a day job. I have been doing a project with the totally wonderful and awesome people at Puny Entertainment. Things are getting pretty busy at the moment but I promise that I will still devote all of my free time to working on We Draw Comics! (Except for this Thursday cause I am going to go see the midnight screening of the Hobbit and nothing you can say will make me change my mind!)
