*happy sigh* (update)

I feel like I'm on Cloud 9. :DDDD
I'm working on the next page now. :3 Uncle came back home on leave, and he'll be gone next Wednesday, so me and him have been enjoying the time together. xDD Only 2 years older than me, so we're more like siblings than Uncle/Neice.

*update* Finished the super rough draft.

On to the more detailed version of the sketch!

Guest strip and other news

Thanks for the guest strip, Mentoc. I think this is the first case of a guest strip being the second strip uploaded for a webcomic in the history of webcomics. If that's true, then I'll gladly accept whatever perks such a title has.

I mentioned in a couple of posts ago that I'll be directing a piece called To The White House, but due to ermmm creative differences with the writer and technical issues, we [Jay and I] have to go with a new script to direct called Bucket, written by local Saint John author Dan Culberson. It's a very funny and sweet story at the same time. Something that I can relate on a personal level more than the political satire we were originally going to do. I'll keep you guys updated on the process of this venture.

In other other news, after a period between christmas eve and yesterday, I was without a real paying job, but now... I have one! Woot!

Until next time
Your pal
Ryan

Mwahaha!

Thanks, PJ(Mentoc), for this great lil' guest strip! :D Now I can goof off-- I MEAN... work, on those pages, yes! But now it is sleepy time. ZZzzzzzzzz...



No longer Emo.

And So Begins Life Study

So after almost 3 months of prep work, we have our first image uploaded onto the site. The chapter heading for Chapter 1, which is based on a script I wrote back in 2005 and it was something that I pitched to Vanessah [not asking her to draw any comic mind you] but to get her opinion if the story could make a good comic. She was REALLY nice enough to offer to do the art and I happily accepted her offer.
Before she did this splash, she did some sample art for the cast and crew in a play I was in back in April called Moonchildren. This is a bit different than what Vanessah made for the cast and crew in terms of style. She did a black and white in pencil style drawing. This is the inking and toning method she'll apply for the comic if I'm not mistaken. Although the actions in the chapters will be in black and white.
Sorry for not having much content besides the occasional post on the blog and in the forum from the two of us. We understand that we were running behind and we'll be more prompt in the future [unless something comes up that takes our time, which we'll try to make some filler and all that jazz] but we don't want another 2-3 months of limbo. Thank you to everyone that has joined the forums and or have stood behind us and supported us during the limbo era.
Now, like I said in the first post in this blog: Enjoy the comic!

zOMG!!11!

O M F G. You guys GET AN UPDATE!!!!!!! IT'S A SIGN OF THE APOCALYPSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RUN AWAYSS!! (Not really, please stay. xD)
Finally finished it. The rest of the pages for this chappie shall be.... DUM DUM DUM! Inked and toned! :D

And that's it really. Can't think of anything else to talk about. That's prolly a side-effect of the allergie/cold medicine I took.

*great big sigh* This is prolly the song that expresses my mood best at the moment:

David Bowie's "Sweet Thing" and "Sweet Thing (reprise)", from the Diamond Dogs album.
