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

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

And I would like to share him with you.

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.

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):

100 DAYS TALLY – END OF DAY 59
GBM – Scripts for 66
PNN Issue 03 Script – completed
PNN Issue 04 Script – p1-3 and some plotting

As many have already noted, this week marked the closing out of Zuda’s slush pile and I was among that group. It’s an unfortunate thing, but one I was well-prepared for. I wish them luck on whatever it is they’re going to be doing. After waiting 7 months for a reply, I had pretty much assumed that Mourning Electric would not be continuing on as a weekly with DC.

However, that means I can do pretty much whatever I want with it, so it’s going to be getting it’s own site. I’m working on getting a back-stock of pages finished for it so that I can release it this fall before Long Beach.

Pages 5-8 are available today, with 4 pages being posted next Wednesday and the one after that. Go check it out!.

Mourning Electric side story – complete!
GBM 60-62 finished
PNN Issue 02 Script – 10 pages

But enough talkin, you came here for close up teaser pictures of comics right? My first pass of inks are below, no spot blacks yet.

100 DAYS TALLY – END OF DAY 27
Mourning Electric side story – Pencils done
ME side story – Inks – up to page 6 and some of 7 & 8

Note the abstract artwork going on around my ink well, i could probably sell it for more than my comics to some guy in New York

Here Jacob sardonically points at a Wave screen. Also I forgot to ink Molly’s eyebrows

Jacob, having some emotions. This was a very line-weight intensive page so it took a while to get through

A moment of confusion and shame, another heavy line weight page

Somehow at 3 in the morning I am not thinking about taking snapshots of what I’ve been drawing for the last 4 hours. My bad.

I’m up to my neck in this short comic and planning for some upcoming changes in the daily life. After that it’s back to work on the Pins N Needles script and some planning on what to do with Vapor Trails now that its original destination has shuttered its doors.

The Mourning Electric short will be going up by the end of next week, I believe. 16 pages of black and white suspense. Get excited! The actual story will go up…some day. I’ve waited so long for a reply from Zuda at this point, it feels like a waste to pull it back and stick it on its own site. We’ll just have to continue being patient.

100 DAYS TALLY – END OF DAY 20 (21’s still goin!)
Goodbye Blue Monday #59 script – Complete
Mourning Electric side story – Pencils Pass 1 p1-16 – Finished
