You might have hundreds of beautiful messages that you want to get across to people, but they aren't worth a damn if you can't convey them properly.

Thanks, that's ok. Hey crukster, we love the things you do. Hey, Crukster, if we could I would be you.

They're Great!



This is a short ten page comic that's music inspired so you guys might like it. I got to ten pages, and it was like this has to be finished I can't keep dragging the story along. So I just ended it because my line of focus snapped. I don't tell anyone but I've had trouble reading and writing for a long time. By that I mean I don't read novels like I would if I knew how to. If I could, I'd just draw the pictures like in a children's book.

Because I can't decide where to start from, I put in a few characters from each of the different worlds I use. So although I'd normally work parallel, I worked them in altogether. It's fun, the thing is, they have to appear separatley anyway so you realise, I might as well just save them for another comic or story I'm telling. I think the mixing part is what slayed me. I should just work on them with the guys they share the world with.

I applied for a job earlier this year and sent them this, but they didn't want me on set design. So it was a no go. I really like the colourfulness of it, it's just I don't want the characters in the books to say much.

Thanks a lot everyone! Have a great time, enjoy the artwork.

Sorry for the double post, continue!

Here's five pages of some new pages in Chapter 1 of my comic. I left it at a continue page so now I'm picking it up, and I'm interested to work on the characters a few pages at a time and jump from chapter to chapter, so I can fill up a book with comics.

Ideally, I want it to come across as random sporadic and what I mean by that is natural and spontaneous. Also, I want there to be some established story for the characters, so if I do enough of that I can just start cropping up gag joke pages in between.

It just picks right up where I left off which you can read on the facebook page. I use a Sharpie to half the time, and I don't colour it in. I mostly improvise the dialogue to get the right beat - but I had a lot of these pages pencilled already so I'm not working from scratch, it's more like recovery.
