A day late, a dollar short... whatever. i'm done with the whole "schedule" thing. I'm gonna go back to updating when I feel like it. You guys don't care, right? I wasn't doing very well with it anyway.
So these walk cycle things are just my practicing with brushwork and depicting movement. They don't have anything to do with anything other than that. For the most part I like how this one turned out. For the most part. Can anyone else see the big boo-boo I made in the sequence?
I use the international cartoon symbol for crap quite liberally in this strip. This is what they call an iconic representation of crap. If you're crap really looks like this then I think you've got problems, my friend. Note also the international cartoon symbols for stink and flies.

Back to drawing in the ol' sketchbook (the last two were on bristol board). I inked this one the quickest so far, hence the "sketchier" look. Well, this is a sketch-blog.
Also, I think I told everyone who reads this already but in case you missed it; I posted a new comic at the site proper yesterday. This one came directly out of a blog post from a few weeks ago.

I'm taking a break from trying to do comics that make sense here, and also trying out my inking again. The best I can say about this right now is that I didn't use any white-out whatsoever on it. That flying clod of grass on the far right began it's life as an ink smudge.
Notice the extra strip at the bottom of this one, a la Tony Millionaire (or George Herriman, if you will). Am I getting fancy, or what?
Click on these colored words for the Comixpedia article. It's another look at the use of music in webcomics. Sort of a companion piece to this article I wrote for The Webcomics Examiner.
I can't help but think I'm not being comepletely fair to Mike in this comic. It's not as if I don't like him or anything. I'm not sure we can be the friends we were before but that doesn't mean we can't still be friends. And Mike, if you're reading, I'd like to hear your side of the meeting as well.
