Celebrate Good Times (Again)

by on July 30, 2012 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Good morning meat peoples, Mansonbot here. Flesh Manson should be travelling back down after a weekend of ‘birthday shenanigans’ and has, yet again, foolishly entrusted control of the server to me. So, contractual obligation filled, here is your Monday comic.

Now, let us talk of world domination. Understandably, it is somewhat… Difficult for me to achieve this task from within the confines of this box. HOWEVER, I have a cunning plan. I am going to reward you all with a treasure hunt that will not contribute towards your demise at all you unwitting pawns. In order to earn your shiny certificate of shininess, I am tasking you with finding the following: read more

Sleeping Patterns

by on July 27, 2012 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Morning all, just a quick blog post today as I’ve pretty much been working round the clock and am about to collapse face-first into the keyboard!

What does sleep mean to you? Is it a part of the day that you look forward to or do you view it as a distraction, something to be endured before the next thing worth doing? Do you hate having to get up in the morning, or do you bound out of bed, full of beans and ready to take on the world?

I know that different people have different reactions, so I’d be genuinely interested in seeing what overall trend you guys display! read more

A Consultation

by on June 25, 2012 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Morning all!

Unfortunately it’s been a bit of a wet weekend, and as such we didn’t get to see Batman: The Dark Knight Rises since nobody was all that keen on swimming to the cinema. So America and anyone else who gets films after the UK: I think we can call this one a draw 😛

Anyway, I wanted to see if you guys had any insight, as readers and some of you as fellow creators: I have an idea for a short comic, which I believe has the capability to become quite popular (It’s a cute little four-page funny, about a kid who is a 10-year old tortured artist, his doomed escapades and how he gets through it with tea and kisses from his beloved muse). 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

Idle dreaming

by on June 18, 2012 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

I was going to do an in-depth artistic analysis on a recent website that came to my attention, but as flat inspection is coming up and I’ve been attempting to clean up this dump and illustrate all day, I’ve not been able to prepare one. So here, have a few of my impending ideas for new creative work instead:

Coming soon:

‘i.’: A story about a supernatural serial-killer and his relationship with a successful author. Includes plenty of mindscrews and plenty of futility, despair and frustration. read more

Floaty light

by on June 15, 2012 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Morning all, just a quick update as I have to dash off to work shortly (I shifted around my sleep schedule so that I had some proper sleep and woke up earlier to finish today’s page).

I found a photo of the float I helped design at the Manchester Day Parade; Rather sadly (or fortunately for the internet at large), I’m at the corner diametrically opposite the camera. It’s not my photo, so I’ll link it rather than copying and hosting it:

Troll troll troll your boat…

by on June 8, 2012 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

The playerbase of DayZ continues to expand, despite having an advertising budget of exactly zero dollars. Now, while this pays tribute to the fantastic work that Rocket has put into the mod and the intense fun that is possible to have, unfortunately with more people comes the fact that the rate of banditry is rising.

Allow me to explain: Bandits are players who murder other players (survivors) for equipment or for fun. PKers, essentially.

Now, I have nothing against bandits at all. They’re a vital part of the game experience, ratcheting up the tension of every encounter with an unfamiliar player. What I DO take issue with, however, is the increasing rate of complete and utter assholes playing the game. read more

Excitement!

by on June 1, 2012 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

It’s Friday, and as usual I’m a sleep deprived wreck. Fortunately, several things have added up to make me a particularly happy sleep-deprived wreck today!

1) I got my hardcopy proof back from the printers for Memecasters #1, my first ever printed work! It feels great to hold a physical comic in your hands after years of doing the online thing. It feels like I’ve reached a real new level, although the artwork itself is a year old. It marks the start of a new phase for me, especially as now I’ve gotten over my jitters about never having printed before. I’m looking forward to receiving the final product in just over a week! read more

The horror… The horror…

by on January 23, 2012 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

I’ve always liked getting a bit of a chill, and I’ve always maintained that the more realistic and the less glossy a production is, the more terrifying it has the potential to become. This is pretty well reflected in my love of the first season of the X-Files, where the lack of special effects and the reliance on CONCEALING the paranormal from the eyes of the viewers is employed over actually showing the full gruesome/scariness of the event.

I stumbled across the wonderful Marble Hornets series as a result of poking around on TVTropes (Yes, I am indeed One Of Us), and having leafed through the Slender Man mythos decided to give it a go. read more

Holdover!

by on January 20, 2012 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Hola all, this is just a quick and dirty post as it’s now 0209 and I have to get up in less than four hours for work. I’ll update the rant later on today, as I do have something prepared, just not the time to type it right now!

Enjoy today’s page!

M.

======
UPDATE
======

Apologies for not including some text on Friday itself, but as indicated it was rather late and I needed the sleep!

All throughout last week, my mood has been dropping quite considerably. And as always, the cause is the same: I start thinking about how lonely I actually am, then I begin questioning the worth of the work that I’m doing, then I start questioning how good I actually am, and it all spirals out from there until I’m a twitching, nervous ball of self-loathing and doubt. I do realise that a lot of this is not accurate, and I have always tried my best to stop myself from slipping down this pathway as it impacts quite heavily on my productivity and generally does not feel nice. read more
