Comics, Writing, & Art by Will Strode

Naked Broads!

If I know anything about the internet, it’s that this post will get more spam bots and disappointed google hits than any other post on the site.

I drew some lady character art here for a desert wanderer lady. With a bug helmet. Hopefully that will make a lot more sense in the future. The fuuuutttuuuurrreee

Bonobo

Last night my lady and myself attended the weekly gathering of yahoos known as the Drink and Draw Social Club. And while I did no drinking, I did do some drawing.

I drew a monkey man. His name is Captain Bonobo.

And I would like to share him with you.

Character Art Dump

As promised, I scanned some of the art I did as prep work for Vapor Trails.

I’m still trying to peg down a style for this comic, it’s definitely more cartoony than the work I’ve been doing lately. I’m trying to get back to my roots I guess, weird animals and people with simpler shapes.

I’m also working up a site redesign now, so expect some changes to the homestead soon enough.

100 Days – IT’S OVER!

Sorry, I’m like 4 days late and I didn’t update for a month. But I was at Comic-Con for 3 days so I’m pretty sure the math works out. Whatever, I still love you.

The 100 Days project was a total success! I’ve got a tally down at the bottom listing all the stuff I got accomplished during the period and though I only got 1 completed comic out, the amount of scripting and prep work I did for my other projects is insane to me. It also gave me some real focus to which projects needed to get attention and which ones could go to the backburner. I’ve already decided that the next 100 Days project I do will involve a lot more artwork, since posting lengthy character descriptions and hacked up outlines is pretty much boring.

I do have a little news for those of you following Mourning Electric. I’ve decided to take it down a different avenue heading for print. After getting reactions at SDCC, it just felt like a webcomic was not the right format. I’ll keep the Zuda entry up forever, but the new version of the script is being tailored for a book.

To take the place of ME, I’m developing the other project that was originally headed toward Zuda, Vapor Trails. Keep an eye out for that soon (first picture posts tomorrow).

So without further ado (and broken up by project so it’s actually readable):
