Yay that all worked out didn’t it.
Just so you know in advance, I’m going to be away from civilisation and real internet for a week starting this Saturday. Usual forms of contact should still work, but on the off chance someone does leave a comment (I have one non-spam commenter) I probably won’t get it. I am working on building enough of a buffer that the site will update in my absence though.
I am EXTRAORDINARILY worn out by New Cross Turn Left which was excellent. YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE.
Drawing today’s comic didn’t give me much grief. UPLOADING IT did because ugh slow slow slow computer. BUT ANYWAY NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS.
David Wynne updated Particle Fiction so GO READ THAT.
I’ll be at New Cross Turn Left on sunday so boogie on down to New Cross and say hi and buy comics and stuff.
THEN BOTH THOSE THINGS AGAIN BECAUSE THEY’RE BOTH IMPORTANT.
Guess what? Today’s my birthday! Woo. While you’re reading this, I’m probably recovering from a midnight screening of Harry Potter 7.2 (Yes, I know.) so yeah. At the moooooooment there’s not much to say I don’t think. Have a good weekend all of you!
Hi!
I wonder how many of you were expecting this, considering who organised it (if you don’t know who organised this gathering, you probably haven’t read chapter 4, and reading chapter 4 would be very helpful for this chapter. Not necessarily ESSENTIAL (well, it probably is) but very helpful).
I’m not sure if the rain effect works as well on screen as it did on paper. Feedback maybe? I can try different things over the course of the chapter if this isn’t good.
THIS PAGE/STRIP/WHATEVER. GUH. Trying to plan out exactly how it would work was a pain. HOWEVER I am really pleased with how it HAS turned out. Okay? Okay.
We’re now firmly in the second half of the chapter! 3 weeks of it left, and that means 3 weeks left for your submissions for the 100th comic BONANZA. I don’t know if that’s what I’ll actually call it, but it’s a fun word.
And finally, I’ve started drawing the collaboration! Admittedly I’m only 3 pages in, and they were some of the simplest ones, but you have to start somewhere!
Hi! So, on monday I set up a facebook page for the comic, go and like it for newsbites that might not get a mention anywhere else, although I admit mostly it’ll just be telling you when I’ve updated.
Also: Remember! You’ve got about a month to do something for the 100th comic celebration. Art, writing, comic, whatever, send it in! Okay? Okay.
Hmm. Can’t think of much to say. Hope you’re well!
OH one thing: I don’t have a table at MCM expo tomorrow but I’ll be wandering around. Will you be there? There’ll be some pretty rad stuff.
YO!
So, this morning, I hand in the sketchbooks and written stuff for my Foundation Final Major Project. That’s IT. Foundation year work OVER. However I did start a job the other night that’ll have me working many, many evenings. So things are sort of the same in terms of free time? It’s just at different times of the day.
I’m actually pretty happy with how this comic came out, considering it was a) something of a rush job because of the aforementioned handing in of work, and b) because I’m trying something new with the colouring, more specifically the highlights. It’s not perfect, but it’s definitely not BAD and with a little practice I think I’m going to love the effect!
Tom gets a non-speaking appearance in chapter 1, but his first major role is in chapter 3 (Uniform) where he is revealed to be sort of going out with Sarah in a not-boyfriendy-way at the start of the chapter. They go on another not-date where Sarah makes a move and they kiss, and start a relationship which they describe as being ‘just fun’.
So, today is not just a bank holiday, it’s the royal wedding! Oh how I really don’t care. But let’s not get into that. Here’s Tom’s favourite bands, with what happen to be a couple of my actual favourite songs. Enjoy, and have a good long weekend!
