I finally got around to sketching out full-body pictures of the comic characters. Rich is the last one on my list right now and he's 70% finished. They'll go up with the comic this coming week. I'm debating whether or not to colour them, since it really hasn't mattered up to this point. On the other hand, 8/10 of you don't know that Sera's a blonde (according to a survey I took), which kinda irks me. Anyway, expect the pictures soon.
The comic's done, finally. This introduces Rich, who will become a standing member of the cast showing the world picture. Or at least, his idea of the world picture. It was a challenge coming up with a character design for Rich, since the person he's based off of (in part) has long hair and laughs all the time. To say the least, he wasn't exactly ideal for a military character. I think that's why I like Rich though (both as a person and as a character). His personality creates a juxtaposition between army regulations and his own laid back ideals. That's not to say Rich isn't hard-working, you just won't get him to crew-cut his hair. Thankfully this is fiction, and I can play with ideas that don't happen in real life. Rich is in the International Air Force by the way. More on that later.
Ahh, my first guest comic. I almost promised myself I wouldn't allow these, but I trust Mangler. I've seen guest comics that are absolute travesties of art. I appreciate the effort and all, but I can't bring myself to post something that doesn't have at least redeeming artistic or comedic value. Shirt Guy Dom is funny; Great. He's unique, so don't copy him. I don't approve of blatant copycats. Anyone else doing what Dom does isn't funny, they're plagiarising. Anyway, the point is that if a guest comic lacks one of the two elements (being funny or being well drawn), it won't get posted here. Don't doubt yourself, but be prepared to take criticism. You're your own worst enemy, as I've found out the hard way.
Hi folks, I'm here to make my sorry excuses and apologies. This is a dead creator day. If you must know, life hasn't been all that kind to me lately, and I'm trying to get my priorities straight. This includes art class, a paying (!) tutoring job (!), and of course, the website. Don't worry, I'm not quitting on anyone. Like I said, this comic is one I'm going to follow through. Drawing the war comic however – or rather finding the time to do so – has been trying.
