6/5/06 - It took me 3 more months but comic 10 is finally finished! Huzzah! This can be contributed entirely to me joining a weekly art club. It still took me 3 weeks to actually do work for said comic. But I did do a bunch of practice drawings to help better my drawing skills. I hope to get a comic done ever 1-2 weeks now that i have incentive. Still need to better my photoshop skills though...
3/5/06 - Well, Photoshop is a work in progress. Honestly, Editing this way seems just as hard as doing it in paint. Hopefully it will look a little better at least. For the current story comic, I'm even including color (which makes updating even harder). I doubt color will be a usually part of the comics though, at least for now.
On to happier news. Today is my 21st birthday! Woo! And for this very special occation, I present a glorious stick figure comic, done with none-other than paint. I hope you enjoy the 5 feet of weirdness, and learn a important lesson too. Here's hoping the next comic will be out this month!
1/9/06 - Hazzah! I have purchased photoshop, and ordered a jumbo pack of good drawing guides. And I have been provided with a comicing-in-photoshop tutorial. Editing will now be easier and far more asteticly pleasing than my previous attempts in paint. I hope to get started before the week is out.
11/12/05 - Today marks my first guest comic day. I am overjoyed. Thanks again Rick. Please pays your respects by visiting his own Comic JAQ, located here -->. Still no promises on a Wednesday update.
11/9/05 - The new comic is up. As if this wasn't fantastic enough news, I can promise a Saturday update this week as well. Now I must deliver a Wed update next week, as well as those long promised character bios.
Also, the word "graphic" has been added to my content list. This was the suggestion of my volunteery "editing and critic panel". Hopefully I can get to such content withen a year. O.o
11/8/05 - Very happy news! This site is now officially active again! Thanks to encouragements, nagging, threats, and a recent competive challange, I have attacked AOE with renewd spirit. The next comic WILL be up tomorrow. If I'm lucky the following comic will be on Saturday, but no promises yet.
P.S. - Happy Election Day! Go Vote!
9/17/05 - Okay... 3 months... I know excuses won't cut it anymore; but that won't stop me from trying. I have almost finished moving into my new house. However, my class schedule is most painful and exhausting. To make matters worse what free time I have has been taken up by my new and serious addiction: World of Warcraft. Just how bad is this addiction? I'm often forgeting to eat. Yeah, its that bad. But it's grip is starting to loosen, at least I hope. I have started to draw the next comic, no telling when it will be done again. As far as writing goes... I have writen and or outlined enough story to last 3 to 5 years on a 3 times a week updating schedule. So yes, the story is there. The problsm is the means to get it to teh viewers. I lack the tools, the training, the software, and know how, and too often the motivation. I really want to tell the story, its just the near epic about of work to do so. But I must press on. My goal is to procure a real website and do enough comics that I can proudly boast about me having a webcomic come katsucon.
Two more points. I'm sure you are wondering why I am writing in such tiny print. The answer is that geocities is messed up again and wont let me increase this page length at the moment.
Finally, and by far the most interestingly, Chris has started his own webcomic! In truth, he started it a good many weeks ago. More shame on me for not updating in forever. As always the link can be found to the right of this text --> Go check it out. Trust me, he's updates a re far more reliable than mine. I have much more news to share, but I'll wait for geocities to stop throwing tempertantrums to post it. Until next time, don't trust ferrets with weird looks in their eyes.
6/29/05 - Wow, 3 weeks eh? Now to answer questions: Yes, I am alive. No, the comic is not dead. But has gotten even more behind. The past couple weeks were spent doing unfun yet very important work (like paying for college). I am also working full time, which blows, until I get my pay check; which always seems to somehow get lost in the manga section of the bookstore... But have no fear! I am back to working on the comic, sorta. Today I sat down and wrote several pages of very excellent dialog. Unfortunately, it is several story arcs away. Still, I am trying to make this beginning work. I can say for sure that once I get back to college the updates will be far more reliable.
6/8/05 - Important news of the executive variaty: I am indiffenatly suspending Saturday updates. After going a month without one, and seeing that I doubt I will be able to do one in the near future, I have decided to finally stop kidding myself. As for terminating the Saturday one and not the Wednesday one, I have found the Wednesday up date more managable sence my return home. So, that's about all I have to report for now. Please keep stopping by every Wednesday for a brand spanking new comic.
6/1/05 - Yes! The special filler is done! look for an even more special colored version coming eventually.
Speaking of coming eventually, I am working on the character bios, so I hope to be able to take that sign done soon. These will consist of a full color picture, list of facts, and a short summery of said person. I am still thinking of categories for the list. If anyone has a suggestion for on, please send it to me. Chances are I will add it. These bios should be up before the month is out. As for a Saturday update... It's ify at this point.
5/25/05 - Well, that "special filler" I promised isn'nt quite finished yet. Still, I figured a cheap filler was better than no update at all. I know I have been completely off my Saturday update schedule for almost a month. I hope to fix this in the next few weeks. Although the writers block still pleagues me, this filler is at least a chance fore me to practice drawing. Expect the finish comic in about a week.
5/18/05 - Okay... so the comic is very late. Truth time, this was the first comic I have drawn sence my return home. As for a a desk, I am using the folding table I cut scale-mail pieces on (its very not-smooth). I hope to find a better desk soon. Also, stuff is getting in the way of my work. Most notably is my light saber choreography, which is coming along... sorta. Still, I need to do more work here (considering I am out of prewriten story comics for this arc). Expect a special filler in a few days.
5/7/05 - Wow, No Pants Day was great. It was a day of fun, frolic, and partial nudity. Many memberies were made, some good, many frightening, and definately some permenently scarring. Saddly, most people we met were resistent to our attempts at spreading cheer. We got a lot of strange looks, and I think some people started to run away very fast. Still, despite the chilly winds, our celebrating was a big success.
Yesterday was also the start of a new webcomic: The True True Life Adventures of Matt and Thomas. I am proud to say that it has joined my list of links -->. Look for updates of TTLA on Fridays.
5/6/05 - Happy No Pants Day!! Today is not only one of the greatest of holidays, it is also reason for me to do a special filler comic. I hope you enjoy it, as finals and moving have prevented me from finishing the story comic for Saturday. So, sorry for the delay. Still, you shouldn't be worrying about that, go out and make this the best no pants day ever!
