So! The fourth page is coming along nicely, but this has been a busy busy week (as it always is, for everyone, everywhere), so as to give you something to look at, and salivate over, here's a piece of fanart for the awesome Paul Pope!

For those of you who have no clue why I'd do this, other than the chance to bust out some artwork that takes an excellent design and saves me the trouble of too much thinking, it's because for three weeks I was down in Florida studying with Paul Pope and his ninja team of fellow artists.

This is completely the reason I'm doing a comic right now, because I sure wasn't nearly as motivated before I went down there.

So yeah! Paul is awesome, the Masked Karimbah (the character below) is awesome, and if you don't know his work already (shame on you) you should check out his site, as linked above!

Bah, image upload services resize and downgrade images too much.

I need all my glorious pixels at perfect crisp quality! Why can't they understand that need??

...Anyways, page 3!

The handwritten text is a bit of a test, but I'll see how it goes. Ironically, seeing how this comic is about robots, computer fonts just feel too cold to me.

Also! I feel like I might have found a process that works for me through each step of making this comic. It involves alot of back and forth between analog and digital, but the key part is that it's enjoyable at each step, which I really can't stress the importance of enough.

Okay, page 2!

And if you're already getting bored of landscapes by page 2, I promise page 3 will have lots of bustling robots.

Also, I feel terrible about not contributing to the awesome website fanartfriday.tumblr.com/ this week, but it's a collaboration project by various folk that I got to know at the ACA, and who every friday will put up a new piece of fanart dedicated to their artist(s) of choice.

Bookmark it! These artists are fantastic, and the artists that they honor are equally as fantastic.

Ahh, between two jobs and jury duty this week has not given me much free time.

Still! Page 2 is in the coloring phase!

So yeah!

Well Florida was too amazing to be able to summarize easily, but in short, I now feel amazingly motivated through meeting and working with so many talented and wonderful people.

And so! Page one of the new (old) comic that I'll (hopefully ) be posting here each week.

Like with any drawing I'm making at this point, these pages are much more about the process than the final piece. Still, I hope it holds together, and I hope the first ten pages make people want to read more.

(and also in this post, a doodle page of girls and a robot)

I'm off to florida in a few days!

yaah

more redesigns, something different

Redesigns!

(some slight)

Eh!

Well that was a decent sized haitus, but now I have a bed!

Also a rug.

So here's some stuff, and expect good stuff soon.

For real.

Really!
