Another weekend zips by!

Chapter:

Welp, another weekend has come and gone, and the week looms over us like a… Great big looming thing. I’m feeling pretty knackered, and though I’ve not done anywhere NEAR the work I should have, I’m still feeling pretty chirpy! It’s been an unusually sociable weekend for me, and it’s been great catching up with people over dinner and the cinema.

Ah well, back to the grind, I suppose. Enjoy today’s page, and I’ll work on getting caught up to the work I didn’t get done this weekend! Cheerio! read more

Blasts from the past!

by on August 12, 2013 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

So, I caved in and finally got a Netflix subscription the other day.

BEST. DECISION. EVER! There’s plenty on there that I love watching, including gems that I haven’t seen in a while, like the fantastic mid-90s animation Hey, Arnold!

If you haven’t seen Hey, Arnold! before, in a nutshell it’s nominally a kid’s series about the titular character and his friends being kids in the city. In modern terms, it’s almost like a slice-of-life story, with a varied cast of characters from all walks of life. More importantly, each story wasn’t just a fun story about stuff the average 9-year old does (or wishes they could do), it usually also contained a moral too. What was great about the writing was that it never felt like you were being beaten over the head, or preached to; Rather, it seemed to serve more as a demonstration of different social scenarios. read more

Dr. Who’s on first, Watt’s on second…

by on August 5, 2013 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

So, the new Doctor has been announced, and it’s cute’n’cuddly Scottish actor Peter Capaldi, most recognised for his role in political satire The Thick Of It.

Now, I stopped watching Dr. Who a fair while ago. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t because the show’s quality declined, I just found myself less and less motivated to watch the programme. With Capaldi on board, however, things might just well change. For a start, they’ve gone for an older Doctor again, which will lend a lot more gravitas to the role; for all the brilliance that David Tennant and Matt Smith have brought, they do feel like they are somewhat geared towards a younger audience. Capaldi definitely appeals to older viewers, and opens up the possibility of writing more mature scripts (and I’m talking mature like documentaries about the industrial revolution, not mature like the shagfest that is Torchwood). read more

Ackbar’s Fightin’ Ships

by on July 26, 2013 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

I promised you a nerdy discussion, and a nerdy discussion ye shall have!

So, Return of the Jedi was on TV the other day; Unfortunately it was the Special Edition, but we’ll not be snobs about that today. It’s still a fantastic film, and I’d forgotten just how much I loved the film as a child!

But, older and (nominally) wiser, naturally questions raise themselves. Because I’m a shut-in who plays a lot of video games, the thing that got me this viewing was the roles of the rebel fighter craft. Specifically, the B-Wing. read more

Sorry, ill again

by on July 22, 2013 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Hiya guys, sorry to leave you with another short update but I’ve been struggling with what I think is a really bad cold for the last couple of weeks. Thank goodness I’ve got a buffer of artwork! Hopefully should be better soon, but this heat is making it very difficult to get some proper rest.

Anyway, assuming I’ve not succumbed to this hantavirus by Friday, you’ll get a comic and an accompanying discussion about starfighter roles in the Star Wars universe. Yeah, get your nerd hats ready, specifically the Sci-Fi and Military ones 😛 read more

New medium, new art!

by on June 10, 2013 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Hullo everyone!

It’s a bit late, so I’ll only put up a little post today (I’ve been reformatting a script for submission; that and giving myself the fear about trying to break into the industry), and I promised you an experimental piece last week, so here are the results!

This is white gel pen on black foamboard. There’s also some red and purple gel pen, but they didn’t show up at all on the black background so I tried to hue the white ink with them; It didn’t turn out so great. read more

TV Party?

by on May 13, 2013 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

So, they’ve revived 90s TV Gameshow Catchphrase. For the non-Brits reading this, Catchphrase is basically pictionary in gameshow format, and was staple evening viewing during the 90s for kids and adults alike. It was fun, and everyone could pitch in to guess what popular saying was being portrayed on screen. It’s well worth looking up and having a go yourself!

But, like I said, they’ve revived the show. Except it’s.. Different. No, they haven’t changed the format. Yes, they’ve changed the presenter and the graphics, but that’s not it. Well, okay, the graphics are genuinely horrendous, compared to the humorously grotesque renderings of the original, but that’s beside the point. read more

Fresh newness!

by on March 18, 2013 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Woop! It’s the start of the new Crush Depth story arc! Well, the ‘cover’ image for it anyhoos. I think you’ll enjoy this one, especially if you enjoy adventure, and don’t mind a little Lovecraftian influence. And yes, everyone will be in swimsuits, including the guys. ESPECIALLY the guys. So, grab your popcorn and buckle up for a seafaring journey into the unknown, with danger, romance and swimmers’ physiques around every corner! (Disclaimer: Now that I think about it, I don’t really know what a swimmer’s build actually looks like, I just made the dive team members generally quite muscular.) read more
