So I’ve set up a DA page, right now it’s mostly older pictures, and mostly of Maxima. I had never drawn Sydney before I started doing the comic but I do have some unused pages that I might post there that had a different design for her. Eventually I’ll stick new art in it, once I draw it I mean, pinups and whatever else. The link is up in the nav icons on the right.
Hey I was on a podcast! I went to the Dallas Comic Con – didn’t do much, just wandered around the floor once, then spent 2 hours in line waiting to buy some stuff from Amanda Conner, and happened to be standing next to this spazzy girl dressed as Rose Red.
Anyway turns out she does a weekly podcast with 2 other gals called the Nerd Girls Eye View where they mostly nerd out about comic related things. I mentioned that I did a webcomic and bam, a few weeks later, podcast. I haven’t had a chance to listen to it yet, I tend to ramble on rather verbosely… which would probably explain why it took over 30 comics to introduce a second main character – hopefully I don’t sound like too much of a dork in it. There’s no spoilers in it – I talk a little about some of the characters that haven’t shown up in the comic yet, but there’s no information there that you can’t find on the cast page.
I just printed 5,000 of these.
Yeah… that’s $180 wasted.
I’m working on a postcard that I can hand out at conventions, leave on tables, etc, and I’ve got one side draw, but I’m not sure about the dialog on it, so I thought I’d let everyone throw some ideas in to the pot.
The idea is that I take the craziest looking characters and have them commenting on the comic that Sydney’s reading, thus irritating her. I’m not sure what to go with though, here’s a few things I came up with:
Maxima: The characters in that comic are so outlandish.
Dabbler: It’s just so unrealistic.
Sydney: What are you guys, the ironic duo?
I’m not sure that having Sydney calling out the irony makes for the most elegant delivery, so I started coming up with alternatives like:
M: Do the characters in that ever stop flexing? (one of my pet peeves about the way most comics are drawn)
D: Wow even I can’t bend my back like that.
S: Do you mind?!
Or:
M: Not enough action.
D: Not enough sex.
S: Shouldn’t you be fighting crime somewhere?
And the like. I thought before I got 5,000 printed I’d throw this out there and see if anyone had any favorites or even your own dialog that might work better. I need to send this to print Monday 5/9 to get it back in time for the Dallas Comic Con which I’ll be wandering around for at least part of a day, so I have until Monday evening if anyone wants to contribute.
Testing the blog features of this… blog. I just don’t know where it shows up. I might have hidden it with CSS. I dunno if it shows up in the RSS either.
Anyway, I wanted to say I’m planning on going to A-kon this year. I’m not getting a table as the comic’s not really mature yet and I don’t have anything to sell, but I’ll be there. I’ll probably hit a few of the panels, especially the Antarctic Press one and possibly if there are others about webcomic specific things.
So let’s see if this even show up on the page anywhere.
If you enjoy the comic, share it and/or throw me a vote and maybe someone else who will enjoy the comic will find their way here. Thanks!
