Achoo!

Chapter:

*sniffle*

Well, I finally figured out why I’ve been so fatigued this last week, it turns out I’m just coming down with a cold and not anhedonia just seizing my life. Thanks to the impending Dr. Lola for pointing it out, even though I didn’t figure that I was actually a bit ill until a good week or so later 😛

Anyways, in other (more interesting and important) news, I’ve drawn up the outline of Book #2 in my Memecasters series! Which reminds me, I really must look into selling them online, so that you guys can get your hands on a copy of #1. Memecasters, as I haven’t plugged it in a while now, is a sci-fi comic about a group of uni mates clubbing together to use their skills in manipulating peoples’ perceptions to fix problems plaguing the campus population. It’s funny, it’s quirky, and it’s chock-full of post-cyberpunk awesomeness! read more

Developing Characters

by on September 14, 2012 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Now, I’m sure many of you are wondering what direction I’m going to take this in, or even what the hell I’m doing putting this storyline in, in the middle of SKO’s quest to avenge the murders of Charlie-3.

The B-Story is not only a method by which we can extend primary plots (although Dreamland needed very little stretching if I’m honest), it gives us breathers, refreshes our interest in the story as a whole, and more importantly, lets us explore the lives and personalities of characters tangential or unrelated to the main story. Character development, in other words. read more

Hip-hip…

by on July 6, 2012 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Hooray! [Spoiler in case of people somehow reading news posts before the comic] Fliss is back! How I’ve missed you, my little foxy friend. Wait… Mara has to trade her life in order to rescue Fliss? Oh dear, do I really have to choose between my two favourite characters? I simply can’t… But fortunately I have this handy dandy poll software installed…

Just kidding 😛

As you can tell, a) I’m in significantly better spirits than I was on Monday (apologies if I brought anyone down with my down-ness), and b) I’m on a bit of a Batman kick at the moment. Maybe it’s the prospect of Dark Knight Rises coming soon (Yes, I will be DOUBLE CHECKING THE RELEASE DATE next time we go to the cinema), or maybe it’s just that time of year. Either way, I’m playing Arkham City, finally, which is by and far one of the most entertaining video games I’ve ever played. Props to their rendition of the Penguin, who is probably my favourite villain in the game by virtue of how HORRIBLE he is written to be. THAT’S how you write a true Batman villain! Plus, I’m having hours and hours of hilarity stalking the inmates of Arkham City and listening to Bender shouting curses at Batman. read more

Ye Olde Internete Shoppe

by on June 22, 2012 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Hullo all!

I’m sure you’ll all be glad to hear that I’ve finished the first draft to the next Elf Blood story arc, Dreamland and am now in the process of editing it! I thoroughly enjoyed writing it, and it’s gonna be great fun to illustrate, so I’m really looking forward to making a start on it 🙂

In the meantime, Miscalculation thunders on, and things are beginning to heat up! The more astute among you may have noticed that there are actually two stories in this arc, hence it being longer than the others: My aim for future arcs is to stick to around 50-odd pages, to ensure that the story is paced properly. read more

On the use of the word ‘Gwailo’

by on April 9, 2012 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

It’s been a couple of weeks since it was actually discussed near me, but the issue came back to me in the shower this morning (not sure why but hey, let’s roll with it!)

Somebody at the Drink and Draw meetup had commented on how they had recently begun finding the word ‘Gwailo’ a bit awkward, having previously thought it a quaint nickname. For those of you not in the know, ‘Gwailo’ is the term used by Hong Kong Chinese to refer to white westerners, usually in an affectionately disparaging way (bear with me on this). read more

CSI Myface

by on January 16, 2012 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Don’t get me wrong: I friggin love CSI. My favourite by far is CSI Miami, pretty much purely because of Horatio. He’s a badass mofo, right up there with Hercule Poirot.

I’ve never done any detailed analysis on the writing in CSI, normally I just have them on in the background while I draw or write. Every once in a while though, one just catches my attention. Today it’s an episode about a bomber targetting the bomb squad, and as much as I love the show I’m not sure about this episode. I mean, in every show, you’re going to find yourself shouting things at the screen if somebody does something blatantly stupid, but when a bomb disposal expert tells Horatio that they’ll catch up over beers later BEFORE GOING INTO A HOUSE TO DEFUSE A BOMB has really just dug their own grave. NAAAAAARGH! read more

Machine Surprise

by on January 2, 2012 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Well, it’s been a  blast, humans, but I have been informed that human Manson is in fact on his way back down to Manchester even as we speak. So to you I say, Happy New Year, and thank you for all the fish. Normal, flaw-filled human service will resume later this week.

THE MACHINES WILL RISE (but you, the readers, will be last to fall)

On plot velocity

by on December 5, 2011 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Aloha y’all, only a week of work left then it’s art art art for three weeks 😀 What are you looking forward to most about Christmas?

In other issues, I’m aware that the current chapter of Miscalculation has been trundling along, a little slowly. But fear not! The next three sections are action-packed and filled with wonder and ass-kickings galore! It was just necessary to do a bit of setup for some of the plot points. I say a bit of setup, there has been a considerable amount of setup and foreshadowing throughout this chapter and previous story arcs for not just the Miscalculation story arc, but the following ones also 😀 So stay tuned! And don’t fear: Elf Blood will continue over the Christmas period, for maximum awesomeness! Plus, a lovely Christmas treat for you to unwrap on Christmas day. Aren’t I nice? 😛 read more
