Cow Slime Comic Page

 

"Cow Slime" sounds like a goofy weird western comic. I have no plans to make such a thing, but this little scene came out as I was decided to sketch something in order to practice screen tone shading.

Digital Dragons, Book Three

Digital Dragons proceeds along! Bobbi continues to build up her resources, acquiring stronger armors and equipment in rapid succession, just in time to meet another powerful enemy! It's clear the world isn't going to wait for her to keep "getting prepared" before she goes on her Quest. After this latest harrowing encounter, it's time to get a move on!

I really hadn't expected to pop this out so soon after the last one, and I can tell the drag is really hitting me now, so it's time to pull back and let this one recharge a bit. Thanks for reading thus far!

Digital Dragons, Book Two

Digital Dragons continues with the further adventures of Bobbi, Miner And Crafter Extraordinaire(ish)! As she slowly builds up her resources, she encounters a potential new ally, runs afoul of a powerful foe, and takes her first step into another dimension! Things are looking rather hectic, but hey, she's got nothing if not time on her side, conveniently divided into twenty-minute chunks at that!

Made with modded Minecraft and Comic Life 3. I didn't think I'd get another book out right away, but the muse stuck around for a while longer this time! After this, though, I'm taking a break before I give my wrists, and my brain, carpal tunnel.

Digital Dragons, Book One

Digital Dragons is a comic book project created with Minecraft (including several mods) and Comic Life 3. Born from a half-joke/half-desperation move to break me out of another prolonged bout of writer's block, as well as conveniently justify continuing my Minecraft addiction, the comic tells of the first few days of "Sharkerbob" seemingly awakening into his Minecraft avatar, whereupon he becomes stuck in the world of the game! Yes, it's just about the most cliché premise you could think of for a Minecraft "fan fic", but it fits the conceit of the game well enough, and made for an easy jumping off point for wacky early-game shenanigans. As improvised dialogue and characters, I also did not set up anything about the environment ahead of time (aside from one plot-relevant detail), so Sharkerbob's responses are real-time reactions to my own exploration of the area, making for some great organic writing.

This was a really fun project, and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed making it!

The comic has been saved as a PDF format, which you can download here:

Another Random Comic Sketch

Another random scene. Mainly trying to get more used to the program/tablet, but also practicing paneling. I was kind of worried I'd forgotten how to actually storyboard, as it were. So I just plopped down some rectangles and filled them in.

Random Comic Sketch

After giving it some test runs, I finally cracked and bought Clip Paint Studio, which has some nice features that make it ideal for creating comics. Up until now, Krita has been my program of choice, which is supposedly better for more painterly styles. Each has its benefits and quirks, so I'll probably use both depending on what I'm trying to do.

As for this comic, I just wanted to sketch something comicy. I have no idea who this guy is, where he is (although some might find the tower and dark sun strangely familiar), or what he's up to.

Comics is the medium that speaks to my soul, and where a lot of my ideas would probably have worked best, if I hadn't wasted so many years not practicing my art. Maybe eventually, whether it be through my own drawings, 3D assets, or both, I'll get a comic made again. Just depends on if I can get another story going.

Old Sprite Comics

Decades ago, I had pretensions to attempt web comics of the sprite variety. I never did more than a one or two-pager thing. Loathe though I am to do anything resembling fan fiction on this blog, this is probably the only half-way decent example from back in the day.

And here's another one.
