Well, I thought I could pick up a new character cheap. Art left his comic, The Apple of Discord after an argument with his former “employer.” He wouldn’t even take the blob with him. As you may have noticed, this[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Today’s experiment: hand lettering. Well, for the kanji and hiragana and the large lettering, anyway. Unfortunately, I haven’t discovered a good way of doing thought balloons in gimp, yet; so, that was hand done, too. The letter doesn’t suck (as[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The problem for today’s was picking which sci-fi references to pick on. I kinda like Blob Vader (or is it Darth Blober?). Seems like there are fewer sci-fi comics out there than I suspect there would have been. One of[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Sorry for the lateness. I don’t know which was harder, doing the pipes or figuring out how to do steam. For real steampunk, go see Girl Genius. For today’s strip, I learned how to do text-to-path in GIMP (for the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Yet another bad idea shot down. Besides, doing an April Fools prank shouldn’t be done every year or one starts to expect them. (Should add that to the TtW;TtD thread.) On my other project, I’m working out more time-line stuff:[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Sorry about running late. (Geez. I’m starting to sound like Fred. :P) The unfortunate by-product is that, at least to me, late comics are lamer than the on-time ones. I need to jot down ideas as I get them. I’m[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
A new critter I’m thinking of using for a future strip has wandered into the scene. As usual, the blob isn’t amused. This is an early prototype for a character I’m thinking of using in an adventure strip. Don’t know[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The background came out better than I had expected. Still not happy with the evergreen bush (that’s what it’s supposed to be). I had two great ideas for comics earlier this week but, as usual, forgot what they were. I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Many thanks to Karl Kerschl for allowing me to abuse his character The Abominable Charles Christopher. If you haven’t seen this wonderful strip, go there, NOW! In case you’re wondering, yes, I drew him—with GIMP and a Wacom tablet. I’ve[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I decided to try inkscape for some of the drawing. I now have a smoother blob. Well, physically, anyway. Still finishing it in GIMP; I’m more familiar with it and I can put up the text boxes and balloons faster[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
