Here it is, the long-awaited page 12. Wow, that actually sounds like a decent number!
( AAAAAA )
Anyway. I think I have to start catching up on inking. Hmm. We'll get there. I love how the story's coming along though, and I hope you do too! |

| Page 11, plus... news :O |

Today's page...! Check it out.
( Right here )
Okay so you guys I totally am setting up a website for these. I'll have to figure out a posting schedule. I will probably be posting less often, but it will only be inked versions of the pages. I just need to start getting future pages drawn instead of doing it on a day-by-day basis. Anyway, I'm excited. I'll put up a link once I get it all set up and started. Stay tuned...! |

Here it is... the next page! The last couple panels are kind of simple. I'll fill them in a little more later. Anyway, here's what I got! I think panel 3 took longer than it should have.

Yacht
Here's some pixel art I made for something called STFUAJPGM. Curt linked me to this guy who had some ideas for a story... Anyway, this is one of the scenes! I think other people are doing the rest. This might not be completely final; I haven't heard back from Steve yet on whether or not I need to change anything.
Anyway, there you go! |

| Wahoo! |

Duke Nuke Them
Alright... Today I was drawing up the next page of our adventure and Manga Studio killed it! I only had like 3 panels sketched out, but it was frustrating enough to make me stop drawing. I did this earlier in the day, though. Hahaha. Just a beefy dude lookin' kinda nerdy. Cosplaying as Duke Nukem. What kind of Nerd would be able to pull that off? This guy.
Alright, that's plenty of explanation. Just a doodle.
I swear I will post more of the comic tomorrow. |

| Uhhhh doodle |

Skull King's faces
This is a picture I drew at work on the computer. Someone forgot to log out! Ha! Okay I should probably get back to work also. This method of posting pictures is kind of cool, though. |

Hey guys...! No post today (or yesterday. did you notice?)
It's not that I'm not working on anything, but today I did some drawing for a video game which doesn't really make sense to post and doesn't really look like anything right now. I'm also still sketching out ideas for David the Treasure Hunter, so it won't be too long for that.
I've also been sleeping! See you tomorrow.

Gooooood morning. Sorry about yesterday's post. I felt so bad I drew you something new, too! And in full colo(u)r.
( :O!!! ) |

| Hey-o |

Hey guys, today I am just posting a close-up of good Captain Skull King.
I'm working on inking the previous two pages and I'll have more drawn soon, but today hasn't given me a whole lot of free time. Oh wells!
By the way, this is my current desktop background. Cpt Skull King's timeless gaze inspires and drives me to be my best each and every day.
( Cut because it's huge ) |

| Our story so far |
[12th of November, 2009|09:39 PM] |
Alright, I tried showing this comic to a friend today and realized that I need an easier way to link people to the whole thing. So this post is just gonna have the whole story in it and I will post seperately every day (but also update this post). Oh, and this also contains the sketch I did today of page 7. So right now it's new to everyone AND totally up to date. Hurrahhhh! And I am hosting the images differently, so you get to see a little bit more detail than the other posts that used the old service.
Alright, check out all that comic! It's coming along.
( David the Treasure Hunter! ) |

Aww yiss... I'm starting to work on sketching everything out beforehand! It's an idea that I had a little bit, instead of making things up then inking them all at once before I move on. And then I talked to Lys about it and did some thinking and it is definitely for the best. So... no more inked pages for a little while! At least not until I get this thing going for real!
Alright alright. So today's page is the journey through the jungle to the mountain of stairs that leads up to the big fortress. I didn't really want to make the jungle trek into a huge ordeal, but I didn't want him to just show up at the fortress without any time spent blazin' the trail. I mean, the island was obviously inhabited at one point so it's not going to be THAT hard to get through. Maybe.
Okayyyy that's all! |

Hello...! I spent today sleeping again. I'm not sure what my problem is. I drew today's picture for Emily... it is her and her dog, Max. Ummm... he's a black dog, but I didn't think the drawing looked good when he was all colored in... I dunno! The little squeaky toy fish is ripped in half now, too, but that's not a big deal.
Okay... more of Dave tomorrow, probably! |
|
|
| Adventure... Soon! |
[9th of November, 2009|07:31 AM] |
Good morning. Check it out! Right on schedule. Sketched and inked in only 4 hours...! |
|
|
| Finally! |
[8th of November, 2009|07:19 PM] |
Woo! It's done! Overall I am pretty happy with it. Tomorrow I'll start working on page 5...! |

So today I slept WAY too much! Almost 11 hours! I didn't do anything at all but read Battle Chasers, which is old (originally printed in '98) but really awesome. My friend Jim has been bugging me to read it forEVER and I finally got around to it. I'm upset I waited so long! It's crazy!
Anyway, after I read about 6 issues of that I decided I had to draw, but it was already like 9... I slept until almost 8 this evening. Man!
So I DID get some drawing done, but I'm working on the details and this is a big "world-building" page. I should be able to get it done tomorrow, provided I don't get distracted too much.
Alright, enough talking. Here are some fun close-up shots of what I worked on today! They are at 50% of the size that I work at.
Here is David rowing to shore, with Captain Skull King supervising.
( Two more...! ) |

Alrighttt here we go with page 4. Really just a sketch, because I am including too much scenery for my own good. A couple panels are lookin' good, though. I'll finish it up tomorrow and then start page 5.
Just in time...! |
|
|
| Double whammy! |
[5th of November, 2009|10:00 AM] |
Aww, yuss. Remember this page? I redid it. Here we see below the deck of The Sea Horse... filled to the ceiling with piles of treasure! David is a pretty good Treasure Hunter, after all.
I'm not sure what I want to do with shading or color, but I think this looks alright. Does it look alright? I had fun drawing piles of treasure and making little knick-knacks to spruce them up all over.
( There's... m-more? )
Alright... Gotta go pay my rent and sleep now. Back to the reeeal world. |
|
|
| Disregard everything I just said |
[4th of November, 2009|05:29 AM] |
... I did it myself! Here is the new ship, titled The Sea Horse. Pretty neat, huh? HUH? Well, I like it.
It's FULL of treasure. That's why David, as we see him, is surrounded by piles of it (also seen in the cutaway). That's also why it is so deep in the water... The waves are practically at the deck! Umm... I am not so good at shadows and lighting, but that's what those diagonal lines are. Not everything blasting off into space or anything.
Anyway, I need to finish some detailing, but I think I want to keep SOME things unfinished when I post 'em here... so that I can print this as a real life finished comic book someday, and make everyone pay for it! Haha! Just kidding. I want to finish this and include it as part of my portfolio when I set off on my journey to art school. So this one will probably only be a few pages long.
So have you ever looked at sea horse eyes? Or Sea Dragons, in general? Look up "leafy sea dragon" on google and tell me that is not totally insane! I love those things. The sea has such ridiculous creatures. That is the REAL point of this whole series I'm doing, but you'll find that out later.
Alright. Tell me what you think!
Oh oh, I'm also going to change the fonts up. I wanna make some fonts myself... I have to get around to that later, I suppose. |
