I’ve been toying with this idea for a bit now and I’m almost ready to start working on strips.
That’s right I said strips, this is a short form comic.
Anyway here are some character designs for it. The main character is the girl in the upper left hand corner.
He’s right, you know.
I’m obsessed with Team Fortress 2 lately, and I wanna draw some fancomic shenanigans.
For practice I’ve been doing profile type sketches of them.
Spy is slightly disproportionate
off model Pyro is off model
Scout is okay I guess
Medic definitely needs some work, also a backpack
I didn’t finish Sniper’s gun, but I kinda like how his face came out
That’s all I got so far, more later. Maybe I’ll actually draw them doing stuff at some point.
Comic times again? So soon?
HELLS YEAH!
My second chapter is getting workshopped tomorrow. I can’t really talk though, my story was inspired by Portal, but at least I admit it.
Any of you who read my livejournal already know that last week was my spring break, and over spring break someone broke into my car and stole my iPod. The next day I drew a comic about it with the help of Norman and other people around the cafe.
Here it be:
part 1
part 2
All the suspects are real people, we’ve been trying to guess if the internets will believe it or not.
I returned from Katsucon 14 on Sunday. It was super awesome, except that I’m quite sick now. I didn’t go to class today or yesterday and I’ve been coughing a lot.I posted a mini-writeup in my livejournal yesterday, you can read it here.
I just voted in the Web Cartoonist’s Choice Awards. For the uninitiated, it’s basically a popularity contest to see what webcomics other webcomic creators think is best. This is my first year actually voting in it, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little disappointed. They have a lot fewer categories than before but it seemed like the same handful of comics was nominated for almost every category. There wasn’t a single comic in there that I wasn’t at least nominally familiar with.
I didn’t nominate anyone this year because I didn’t think any of the comics I wanted to nominate stood a chance of getting on the ballot. It looks like I was right but I think next year I’ll nominate them anyway.
I haven’t posted in a while. My new classes are really cutting into my scribblin’ time, despite the fact that one is a drawing class. I think I may be a little too advanced for it, hopefully it’ll be an easy A though.
Anyway here’s a sketch, possible character design for a possible new webcomic in the future possibly? It’s possible.
The names on the side are names I’m considering for the girl. The owl is called Harriet.
New Rift page is up. On the off chance that you came here because of the article in the News & Record click the link on the right that reads “The Rift- Scifi/fantasy webcomic” to see the comic. I’ve changed the site structure around a fair lot since I was interviewed for that article. I don’t have a sketch today, I have a mini book review. My mother got me a book called Rumo & His Miraculous Adventures as a Christmas gift. It’s a children’s fantasy book by Walter Moers, who, according to Wikipedia, is a famous German comic artist. I haven’t read any of his other work but I finished Rumo yesterday.
The story is set in a fantasy world that is both silly and contains all manner of horrible monsters. The main character is a Wolperting, a kind of dog creature. They are apparently fairly uncommon. The story follows Rumo from puppyhood to adulthood, and through a series of adventures where he fights and kills increasingly scarier monsters. The book is actually pretty violent, so although it’s a children’s book it’s probably not suitable for younger kids.
The writing style is pretty lighthearted though and often takes detours from the main plot to tell characters’ backstories. It’s also interesting that the point of view sometimes switches to show the thoughts of the bad guys or monsters and they are made to seem somewhat sympathetic, or at least they are given plausible motivations. The book also has cool pen and ink illustrations scattered through out the pages of text. Anyway I quite liked the book and plan on looking for more books in the same series. I think it might translate well into a movie or video game actually.
