This one is a few days old. It’s kind of obscure, but I thought it was funny. Of course I would.

Anyway. Apart from having an Australian bent, it’s also pretty much World of Warcraft exclusive knowledge-based. I realise that it’s featured in a few of the comics, but i’ve got lots more games to use.

Just for anyone who wants to know, Mike is Michael Morhaime, president and co-founder of Blizzard. The bloke sitting at the desk, is of course, James Packer, one of the Aussie Money Men.

The Reboot is coming. Soon.

Another long night. There was supposed to have a little random addendum at the bottom, after the introductions. Presumably (can’t remember what my brain was thinking exactly) to give more content that just some pictures of characters that don’t mean anything to anyone yet. But that can wait for tomorrow .. or some other time where time is a commodity i have.

Right now, it’s past 2am on a Sunday night .. I really need to sleep. But this drawing caper pushes me on. Now I’m not sure about this, but it’s at least as powerful as when I’m in the frenzy of development. Possibly because it’s new .. but maybe it’s something more.

Well. Here’s another strip. This time, it’s five panels.

I also tried doing a thumbnail link from the post to the actual comic .. but Windows Live Writer won’t play ball.

Going to include the thumbnail anyway ..

Remember to click on the comic to open it full-size in a new window

I’m not particularly happy with it .. not as much as the simplicity of yesterday’s.

There’s problems with the script, with the coloring, shading, the proportions .. but you know .. i’m understanding more about this caper every day. Which is cool.

The slight fuzziness is because i decided to go low pixel width and height .. because my poor laptop wasn’t handling the strain of 5000 pixel wide drawings, even though they make for the best .. cause they shrink down so much clearer. Anyway .. I’m sure there’s some way of keeping small file size AND getting crisp image files.

Anyway. This has now taken me to about 5am .. which is crazy. I can’t imagine the number of things I’ve forgotten to do in the comic .. but right now .. I’m just gonna sign off and move on. To bed. Then move on. To do another comic.

‘Nuff Rambled,

Well .. I tells ya, this craze had better get over soon, because it’s a time sink like nothing else. Unlike a computer game, my brain is always learning with this. Today’s comic dabbles in a little shading. It’s not really good, or even moderately good, but it’s a start.

Spot the missing object. Probably more than one, but there’s one particular thing that might snap any suspension of disbelief .. (although c’mon, this is a comic Stu).

Also, looking over it .. I forgot a lot of plans .. like shading Tom’s face and pants and hair. Hair and Face especially .. very important for adding a little more to the picture.

So yeah, Honesty Lost : Part 1.

There are two (planned) further parts .. the third should go a little quicker .. although the second is a completely different location, so everything except Tom is new .. and even he will be mostly changed.

Just a pic now i slapped together .. found drawing Tom was a lot easier when i first broke him down into circles and spheres .. the basic shapes.

Anyway .. sleep is a-calling. Night All.

Bought a Wacom Graphire4 Drawing Pad yesterday. From the Harris Technology store down the road.

Now the Graphire is awesome. Seriously very cool. While waiting for compiles last night I spent a fair bit of time drawing. Just drawing. I got some nice stuff done ..

One of which was this, my venting at a particularly annoying salesman who has absolutely NEGATIVE customer service skills. He’d rather be talking up the back about football than smiling, or serving. He walks away mid-conversation, and let’s face it .. Pretends to be a nerd.

Anyway, it’s a flimsy pretext to show off how cool the Graphire is .

Not that, in any way, my drawing is cool .. don’t get me wrong .. it’s nothing special. But I’m excited, as always, with something new.

Catch You’all Later,
