Band Shirt

Hey there!

So, that exciting news is still coming, but not for a few days.  Can you wait that long? Well you’re going to have to so that wasn’t a sincere question.

You may have already worked out that on the whole this chapter will be a lot more light hearted than the last one.  the last one had a lot to do with resolving drama that had built up in the previous one, but that is resolved.  so before I get to anything serious in this one there’s gonna be some funnies.  Or at least I hope this is funny…

To come up with a fake band name I appealed on Twitter and got a MUCH more enthusiastic response than I anticipated.  So I ended up not going for any of them and instead going for a band name generator idea Dan gave me.

He also suggested: Real life non metal bands in metal writing (which would be HILARIOUS but doesn’t do what I wanted to do i.e. avoid real life bands, and then he came up with some names just to be excessively helpful: Azathoth, Yog-Sothoth, Dagon, Nyarlahotep, The Shogoth, Yith, Wilbur Wheatley

Another Dan gave me ONYXBLADDER and BLOODCRUSHERZ

Gary gave me Hot Vomit

Mike gave me Molten Slag

Dave gave me Tools of a Broken System, citing that Miss D would probably like political metal.

Luke gave me Teutonic Steel, Deathtime Imperion, Ümläüt, Chainsaw Handshake, Poison Army, The Legion of the Damned, Last vacation in Hades

Stuart gave me WAR HAMMER (which I’d be very surprised if it *doesn’t* exist)

 

So yes, thanks all of you! I considered joining them all together but that’d make an even less intelligable t-shirt than the one she’s wearing.

And normal service is resumed!  We’re back in school and we’ve got Miss Dautry again! I missed Miss D.

Also, expect big news soon.  Proper big news.  Like, 36 page printed colour comic collaboration news.

Guest Comic-David Wynne

Guest Comic-David Wynne

So, David Wynne of Particle Fiction sent the inks/greytones for this fab drawing of Miss Dautry on her day off (Did you forget she was a metalhead? SHAME ON YOU. Or not because it’s not like it’s been mentioned in the actual comic yet at all, just in her profile) through while I was messing around on photoshop, so I ended up sort of you know kind of doing these colours. The shading and inks are all as they were, only thing different is the slightly rushed colours, but Dave said this was the version I should put up SO HERE WE ARE! Particle Fiction is a great comic, and its updating soonish so you should catch up on the last chapter which was the start of a STOOOOORY ARC.

Dear lord, we’re starting with the next chapter on monday aren’t we? That went by fast. Well this chapter will be another 7 week one, and it’s gonna resolve some of that DRAMA that’s been happening. There’ll be fun stuff too to balance it out though. However I don’t want to spoiler anything so SHUSH.

Character Profile: Miss Dautry

Character Profile: Miss Dautry

Miss Dautry, or Miss D for short is nicer than this profile might suggest. But she tries not to be. Hasn’t had any real plot yet, probably won’t for a while.

So, new chapter starts monday! I’m working on the comic in a slightly different way, and I’m liking the result. Expect THINGS. Also this’d be a good time to get your friends to read the character profiles to be ready to join us on monday (HINT HINT)

Bands (full disclosure: I have no idea if these songs are generally considered good. Not being much of a metal fan myself I just picked the top result on youtube):

Slayer:

Megadeth:

Weekend

Pink is so not her colour.

Hi! How are you!

I’m not great, but I’m not gonna bore you with that shizz. What would cheer me up and make my day though would be if one of you bought a comic or a poster from my SHOP WHICH OPENED WEDNESDAY.

(that’s not just reckless commercialism, it really would make my day worth it)

Hope you all have a great weekend, come back monday!

Ok lets go

Hey there! Hope you all had a good week. Okay, before this weeks comic person plug thing, important news that will hopefully not affect the comic, but I think you should know anyway.

This week, I’m starting my art foundation year. I don’t know how much free time this is going to leave me to work on comics. As it is, I’ve got next weeks page finished and a bit of the page after that done too. I’m going to aim to keep ahead so I don’t miss an update, and even if I end up not being able to update on a monday morning, I will do everything I can to make sure a page goes up sometime during the week. As I said though, hopefully I’ll manage to keep up the current update schedule without slipping at all.

Okay, comics plug time! This is one I probably should have done a few weeks ago, but oh well. Anyway, if you’ve not read any of Lizz Lunney‘s comics, now would be a good time to change that. She does mini comics that you can buy (Definitely worth it: if I’m in need of a laugh I know I can always count on one of the two I have to cheer me up) but she also does free Online Comic Sushi, little comics that will brighten up your day. I’d suggest going through and reading all of them, especially since during she did one a day, and has continued to do fairly regular ones since then. You’ll find ducks, cats, lemons, unicorns, and more there. Go! Enjoy!

Bag

The bag hides all shame

Hi there! I’m not sure how I feel about this page. I was probably going too far with experimenting in the wrong ways. Oh well.

Okay, so I’m going to start a weekly comic plug thing in the comic blog thing! This weeks plug goes out to Timothy Winchester, a really nice guy I met back in may at the Free Comic Book Day drop in and draw at Orbital Comics. He draws hilarious comics about a whole range of things, including but not limited to: Lady Gaga, Murder She Wrote, Thundercats, Ke$ha, Hair monsters, love, and heartbreak. That last one reminds me that they can also be quite sad :( He just finished uploading a volume of one of his print comics, the only other one of which I read was also funny but exceedingly heartbreaking. Anyway! Tim (I hope he doesn’t mind being called Tim! That’s the sort of thin I should remember to check) is fancy enough to have TWO websites, that’s right two. He has his a super fancy comic site, which is probably easier to read his archives on, and he has his blog. Follow one, follow both, but don’t NOT keep an eye on his stuff.

A special bonus plug goes out this week to Joel Golby, who I met at the ‘picnic’ drop in and draw. He’s secretly working away on a big comic that will one day be revealed to the world (when that day will come, no-one knows) but he has found time the past two weeks to give us lucky people two smaller comics, which can be found here and here! Joel’s most significant online presence is definitely his twitter where you can be kept up to date on the safety of his toothbrush, among other things. He’ll also tell you when he’s done a new comic, but I’m more concerned for his toothbrush. Oh yes and expect hashtags #expectlotsandlotsofhashtags. Those of you who don’t use twitter: get on twitter.

Oh Wonderful

SO wonderful

Hey there! Happy Bank Holiday Monday!

I’m much happier with this week’s art, woo! Also, trying something new with the background art/characters. Tell me what you think! Also, if you don’t recognise Miss Dautry, go back and read page 1 more carefully. Once you’ve done that read the rest of this blog post where I’m plugging a great comics person. I think I might start doing weekly comic plugs, cos there are so many good ones out there, although I’m sure they all have larger audiences than me. Hmm. Also if you didn’t see the thing I posted on tuesday keep scrolling down once you’ve finished reading the plug. Oh and check back tomorrow for another thing along similar lines to that thing.

Okay, you maaaay have heard about it via twitter, but if you hadn’t Howard Hardiman has set up a fundraiser page so he can afford to print his next comic, The Lengths. He describes it better than I ever could on the fundraiser page, so go read about it there. Anyway, there are a few ways you can help him out. The first, and most obvious, is to donate to the fundraiser (there are rewards!), which is something I’m doing as soon as I can realistically afford to. You can also click the ‘Feature it’ link near the bottom of the fundraiser page. Finally you can just tell people about it, over twitter or facebook or whatever. Giving them the link would probably help too ;)

If you don’t know Howard’s comics, check them out. All his comics have gotten some kind of emotional response out of me, which in my opinion is one of the requriements of a really good comic. I was planning on saying more about the comics buuut I can’t remember exactly WHAT. Oh well. Check his stuff out and help support The Lengths!

Oh and come back next week to read the next page of my comic as well? Maybe? Please?
