0001 The quandary, solved!

0001 The quandary, solved!

Hello.
Nestor tells me I have to write stuff here.

The original plan was to draw two comics a day and get a buffer going… somewhere along color came about and here we are.

the thing I found out is… art is a lot like bicycling, once you learn it, and not use it for years, the shit leaves you, like that!

I was drawing this… and I was like, “the fuck, I done forget ev’ry darn thing!”
So sad…

Making of video. It’s time lapsed, but you can tell I had no idea what the hell I was doing, if you look carefully. (Couple of the section gets fliped out of order… oh well.)

Wait… wait… here’s version 2, it’s shorter, got a proper intro, plus it’s in the right order.

timelapse video of the making of webcomic Stinkpump, page one, version 3 NOW in HD, on Youtube. Full 1000×700 res (shorter too)

And so i have only one thing to say:

…was what held my curiosity. It was there all along.

The solution! The quandary, solved!

    I rather like that you’ve started it with her saying “the end.” As for the drawing half of the equation, it looks ok to me.

  2. nestor says:

    Alas he is but a shadow of his former self.

  3. hyung says:

    Ok, uploaded the video.

    Youtube hast 10 minute timne limit, and I’m inline at vimeo with delays, so I threw it up on rapidshare.

    Don’t just think of your own wasted life, think also about all the other wasted lives! I mean, I could have been somebody, I could have done something! But nooo, I have to sit here and read webcomics all day long, well into the night, and… well, my work is never done. But someone has to do it. In a world.

    Great scenery and backgrounds.

  6. nestor says:

    That’s a pretty cool video actually. Really interesting to watch

  7. Neo Kojiro says:

    Webcomic or not, you would of wasted your life regardless. All that matters is that you have fun wasting it.

  8. Holammer says:

    The youtube time-lapse video was interesting to watch. Especially around 5:00 when you started drawing a window behind the redhead. A few tries at drawing drapery and you go “fuck it!” and start drawing a mantelpiece with flowers instead. :P

    Drawing Webcomics isn’t a waste of life. Playing World of Warcraft for a full year worth of /played is.

  9. 4n0nym0u5 says:

    Oh shit. We have a page one.

  10. Nick no surname says:

    It’s only a waste if it goes un-Commented by fans…

  11. Cathoholic says:

    A more beautiful first page I’ve never seen.

  12. DanGur says:

    Damn. That was cool. Your life was not a waste. If I could do that once, I’d be pretty happy. The art is good.
    Later,
    DanG

    Is that kind of like the tree falling in the forest? or More like the bear in the woods?
