The Quiet Friday
In which a bit of reading, a bit of writing and a bit of game playing was done. And the Wife got back to work on a little bit of Nowhere, which is cool since it’s been dormant for a while. It would be cool to have some time to actually [...]
Nowhere Is Still Going Somewhere
Just veeeeeeery sloooooowly. The sketchy artwork to the left (clickable as usual for enlargement) is a rendering of Fen, one of the main characters of the story. Yes, he is an Elf with a katana. No I am not going to explain why, not here. There’s a fairly lengthy [...]
Busy Little Bee
Back to the grindstone again.
After a somewhat more manageable last couple of weeks I find myself once again in the middle of a lot of projects. A short break in one of the TV series I’m writing for is now done, and they’re in “We need it yesterday mode” with two episodes [...]
Comic Book Progress
123 pages and counting. Don’t ask me how many individual “chapters” or “issues” that is, because I haven’t bothered to keep track. I think novels have pretty much spoiled me, I find it pretty difficult to squeeze all the plot I need to into the allotted space sometimes without giving the [...]
Tweaking
Spent some time fixing up the written portion of the submission. The Wife took a hatchet to it and it’s now down to a more reasonable four pages. Now all that’s left is all That Other Stuff and we can see whether or not this is the kind of thing that anyone besides [...]
Comic Book Submissions
Well, part of it is done, anyway.
The cover letter itself is one page. The outline of the series runs another five pages, and the character descriptions totalled up five pages as well, bringing the written portion of the submission to 11 pages. There’s still the actual character designs and the minimum [...]
Well It’s A Start
Look, physical evidence of our comic online! Whee!
And thanks go to old college friend Aerin for making sure the Latin doesn’t make us look like idiots.
Productivity Sucks
If there’s one thing that really bugs me, it’s keeping busy and doing stuff everyday. I really get off on being an idle slacker so actual deadlines, hitting milestones and all that other assorted managerial crap tends to get on my nerves, and yet that is exactly what is happening these days.
I find [...]
Upon Revisiting David Lynch’s Dune
I have come to the conclusion that the movie is stil probably as incomprehensible now as it was in 1984, if you hadn’t read the book. And with the nostalgia filters brutally removed, the shield combat/special effects weren’t quite as magical as I had remembered (Damn you CG effects, you’ve [...]
The Quick Impression Of Dead Rising For The Xbox 360
Wow, it doesn’t suck!
Lately I’ve been going through a ton of different webcomics just getting a general feel for them to see how they stack up when compared to their physical, paper cousins. There are a few good ones here and there, but not [...]
