Page 95! Another very quick one…I’m overheating here, due to no central air. Yeah….Sigh…I’ll see what I can come up with for tomorrow, but oy, it’s just so busy here…
Page 94! Another quick one, and one I couldnt resist. Alas, David Hayter was not asked to play Big Boss in the upcoming new Metal Gear Solid game (or…games? At this time, we’re still not sure how it works)…So. He may not be playing him or Snake again. But in comments Hayter made, he seems to accept it, and he had a good run. I’ll miss him, too.
Hey, it’s Page 93! This is just a quick one again. I did indeed get a new computer recently, after years of not being able to (although I…was using a working one for those years, too. :P ) It’s been several years since I really felt I could justify getting a new computer. My old one was starting to slowly break down and I even had a brief scare in which I did think it died… Anyway, so I have a lappy this time! I do indeed dislike touch pads, and I’m…not fond of Windows…I did heed other user warnings though, and didn’t get Windows 8.
So here’s hoping to many good years with my new machine!
Page 92! I know!
So yeah, have you ever looked up a tutorial online, perhaps for a digital editing program, and found it to be…lacking? I…really hate that. Seriously, if you are going to make a step-by-step, actual tutorial….don’t skip steps. That defeats the purpose of making a tutorial, doesn’t it? I don’t understand people who do this….Now, if you’re not making a real tutorial and are just giving a brief overview of how you do something, that’s fine, but don’t call it a ‘tutorial’ then.
Page 90 is up! This is one I was working on a long time ago, but didn’t get it finished and posted, due to technical and time issues. Yeah, I know, you can kind of see it to begin with. It looks like they’re looking at just a….flat…giant poster, maybe. I know. I just couldn’t fix it. Sigh…
So yes, this is a real book, actually, and another HUGE one, like Amano’s The Sky. It was a Kickstarter book that Seth Godin had running, and finished. Being a Godin fan, Alex contributed, and got the book. Well. He really had no idea the book was going to be so HUGE; the Kickstarter page was evidently mum on that detail. And yes, it even came in a box that in itself was too big for the book itself. It…was strange.
I always wonder why people make a lot of books so huge. It can be nice, but other times, I find it’s really not necessary, and often problematic. Big books tend to fall apart a lot easier, due to binding breaking. This won’t happen if you don’t open the book that often, but why would you have a book if you don’t read it? So yeah, it just doesn’t make sense to me sometimes.
I hope I’ll have something up Tuesday! We’ll see! I’m trying to get back on track.
Page 88 here, and it’s just another quick, one-off joke. And…..a bad one. Hey, it’s something I just had to share, what can I say?
Busy, busy, busy here, but still, I’ll hopefully have time to make something close to a real comic on Thursday. We’ll see what happens.
Page 86 here, and it’s….a really bad joke. Oh I admit it. It is. Someday, they probably will come to take me away for telling such terrible jokes. Don’t be too surprised.
Hopefully next week I can draw something a little more elaborate. Not sure what Thursday will look like yet though, but we’ll see then.
I managed to get page 83 up; it’s something, anyway. Erik Larsen did indeed say this on his message board, although I can’t find the exact quote. I’m sorry, I just can’t disagree more on this. Batman, or any superhero, wearing actual tights on film, will look stupid, no one will take it seriously, and a movie like that will probably bomb. Hey, remember, there ARE Batman movies that people hate already; it can happen again.
Larsen also argued that Batman appears tougher when he doesn’t have armor and other contraptions protecting him. But….doesn’t one wear armor and have tools so that you can protect yourself against danger? Isn’t that just called being prepared, and trying to gain an advantage over your enemies? Even Zorro, Batman’s own hero and inspiration, had a sword to protect himself and defend others; and that was about it. Zorro didn’t have armor or anything, and he didn’t have to take a sword with him. It was just a good idea and served a purpose.
One could certainly make a point that in the more recent movies, Batman’s outfit looked too much like armor, which it was, and that it’s unappealing or too distracting when you can see it. I can understand that. But seriously, is wearing tights the answer either? I…think not. I’m not trying to pick on Erik either; I love his work and he sounds like a great guy. I just don’t agree with his suggestion.
Next update, in some form, on Tuesday.
Page 78! Another direct quote from Alex. His words, not mine! They do love playing Diablo III, and have had a lot of fun with it since it came out. I’ve been told the Witch Doctor is an especially odd class to play as.
I wasn’t sure if I’d have a real up today, due to a lot of things going on right now again. There also may not be one on Thursday, but I’ll try!
