Sometimes I like playing with different color techniques. This one isn’t very cohesive, but it gets the job done. Also who can say no to a compound color scheme? Not me, apparently.
There was a new The Future Universe update, as well! I know there aren’t a lot of pages, yet. That’s part of the fun!
More soon.
Here’s an update just because it’s Saturday! Though, I mean, I’m uploading this on Saturday but I guess it will be Sunday’s update? No one reads comics on Sundays, anyway.
Things are beginning to settle down here at home. I’m enjoying having a desk to myself, again, and Amanda is enjoying having a bedroom. After a week here, we’re both enjoying the place a lot.
More tomorrow!
This marks not only the end of The Change, but the end of moving to a new place, and the return of my internet connection! Life just keeps getting better and better.
I’ve been drawing these on the bus in pencil so don’t think of it as “messier;” instead: BONUS SKETCHINESS. Another update soon!
It has been a tough couple of months, guys, but it was all worth it to find the place we’re moving to this weekend. We couldn’t be happier with the place, and hopefully a better work environment and our own space will really help us survive. I don’t know if you can tell, but I am done with this storyline. Not “done” like, “I did it justice and it is complete” but “done” like, “I hate this part of my life and don’t want to revisit it ever again. Not for a while anyway.”
So yeah, done.
Check out The Future Universe.
This one’s all messy because it was done on the bus!
I’m not sure that this is the end of this storyline. Nope. I think there’s a bit left. Yep. Just a bit.
Oh and The Future Universe updated a day early. [PG2: Pomp and Circumstance]
My roommate’s name is Manny. Here, he is a literal manifestation for my remorse toward diving into this decision too quickly and as thus is omnipotent.
In other news, the first official page of The Future Universe is up. I’m updating it once a week (Sundays officially, though I will update each week whenever I find time to finish a strip). There’s still a lot of work to going into the website, but since Spring break is over school is eating me once more.
Book News:
Still working on it! I know it’s awful having to wait, but I don’t want anyone to be disappointed because it was rushed due to my influx of school and work this semester. Remain patient—it’ll pay off!
Upon reading this comic, Amanda said, “I was wondering when you were going to just give up and do this.”
Me too, tbh.
Anywho, I want to summarize a bunch of stuff over the course of 2-3 comics. So that’s what I’m doing. More to wrap up this story soon!
I haven’t made a comic “just for fun” in a while, so I figured I’d make some of you hungry. Maybe some of you angry. I dunno.
It’s hard finding new, affordable, repeatable, vegetarian meals as a collegian. I don’t have the time, space, nor money to pay for things that are quick, small, and expensive. That’s why I cook when I can—it’s free, fun, and … I dunno … empowering?
Plus chicks dig it.
More later. In the meantime, leave a comment and tell me how to improve The Future Universe’s website!
Just a good ol’, old-fashioned black-and-whiter today. I drew this one in ballpoint pen and hoo boy I just love drawing in ballpoint pen sometimes.
Anyway, I might or might not continue this for one or two more pages. I have a lot of things to say about inspiration, you guys.
Thanks for reading! More tomorra’.
Don’t worry, it’s all work I actually want to do (on top of a little homework), so hooray eustress!
So it’s been hectic. I’ve been struggling with keeping up with my workload and maintaining an online presence, as well as battling with inspiration and confidence. These are all things I wanted to make comics about, but I feel like I’ve lost my “oomph” when it comes to “The Change,” which is disappointing, because I really thought I had a solid storyline. That’s life, though. Sometimes you think everything will culminate into one, grand moment of exuberance, but instead it just gets dragged out and there really is no “Oh, so that’s what all this was for.”
So for now, I’m going to make comics about whatever I want. I may wrap up The Change in a few strips (I was actually planning on dragging it out to strip 1000, can you believe that??), but either way I want to get a solid week of comics out of this “vacation.”
Speaking of comics, I’m sure I’ve talked about The Future Universe enough to pique a few peoples’ interests (and confuse the rest). Well I’m happy to say that my cohort Wasson and I now have a script, and rough intermediary work is being done to start on the webcomic.
But in the meantime, here’s a Cover to ogle (color inspiration for today’s strip taken from aforementioned color).
