Like it? Imagine, if you will, if it were inked. And colored. Team Fortress 2 style. Might be awesome right?

Give me a night or two. New comics here and on Fragworld too.

And original character.

Me and Stephen been talking about the honey badger for a while. It's badassery knowing no limits, its only right he get a comic book character named after him.

So meet Ratel.

He's a sorta anti villianous guy with a bad childhood checkered past and a few years in the marines. Somehow connected to Wolverine, I plan to introduce him tugging on Thor's cape (He's that fearless) to ask him where Wolverine is. Thor of course, lands him in jail with a black eye. But Ratel isn't that dumb, it's all in his big plan ....what plan?

Well just wait till I can do the fan-comic I've got in the works for it =D

Anyway thanks to some mutant genes or Weapon X balonga, he now feels no pain and has regenerative capability similar to Wolverine: albiet slower and less effective than Wolverine's. If Wolverine gets shot in the head, typically he gets back up, wonders why some guy with a smoking gun is looking at him crazy and can't remember what he had for breakfast that morning. Ratel gets shot in the head, hes pretty much dead. He won't feel it but yeah dead. Stabbed in the torso or shot in the extremities give him an hour and hes ok. The litmus test is if its something that would instantly kill a normal man or something that isn't fixable by a trip to the ER, its light's out Ratel.

Anyway initial design. Might clean it up and make him look meaner. More scars.

Crysis 2 Comic

CRYSIS 1 SPOILERS GO CRYSIS 1 SPOILERS ARE IN THIS!!!! 

Outside that, enjoy my first impression of the first 15 or so of Crysis 2. Beautiful game and so far the only one I've paid the 59.99 for and so far, so good! It's pretty awesome.

Still kinda mad that we aren't able to play as Prophet unless he does what he did in the first game, which, is play dead early on and come back and kick ass. Hard to say at this point as the comic illustrates he was taken out pretty graphically. Not by Alcatraz. Heh, Alcatraz is your typical AFGNCAAP so far, which, I kinda tire of this trope. Namely after playing Heavy Rain, in which, you play as 4 distinctly different characters, all of whom have concrete sets of characteristics.

While I guess I don't want a lot of characterization getting in the way of my action, I also wish developers wouldn't shy so far away from letting you play as a set person.

It would'a been cool to play as Prophet. Least maybe the introduction where you see him with the mini gun destroying aliens. What a way to introduce a game than to throw you in head first kicking ass?

Never the less, art wise, this was probably one of the most labor intensive ventures. Shading the Nanosuit 2 and the gun porn was a pain.

Panda Banner

A banner I did for the Panda Comics. Didn't come out as well as I'd hoped, first run at sprite making. Gonna post all the sprites here later but check it out. Cool banner, I dig the retro look for all the this comics 'packaging'.

Rage Ferret and Stoner.

With designs pretty much finalized (I could do some more complex model sheets but I'm going to probably change these characters designs a wee bit down the road anyway so why bother wasting time?) Next step is characters bibles and comic two, both projects to get done by this comic Sunday.

Anyway, I'm digging the stoner at the bottom. Reminds me of a high school buddy. I think his handle should be "Donut420" being its just weird and down to earth enough to fit. Also working on his room (i.e. mom's basement) because well, thats the next step I think.

This whole comic is largely about these characters, but where they reside has to be a character all its own. The idea is to avoid having to use a text box to say "Donut's house" or "Panda's house". These will be immediately identifiable because A) reoccurring props and B) reoccurring color schemes and C) the character is sitting there, figure it out Einstein!

Eitherway, soon as this work is over and some banners are made I hope to keep on schedule with comics. I was thrown off by a couple of pay projects, but lets hope that I can balance everything nice and neat after I get into a groove.

Happiest Valentines, Ever.

I guess I'm a fan of the bitter sweet, contrasting the beautiful things such as a little boy falling in love for the  first time with the cold steely gaze of rejection.

None the less! Part two tommorow! Enjoy Valentines Day, or, for the single folks out there, I suggest Singles Awareness Day. A day to revel in the joy of not having to pay $60 bux on sending your sweety flowers and chocolates and being free to mock the sheeple buying said flowers and chocolates.

Enjoy!

I shaved my head

Tryed a new inking program and <3 the result. Quicker, prettier, without losing much of the benifits of inking digital. Also trying some color experiments. I'm studying Symbionic Titan alot, Scott Wills is a modern master of color. How that man does it, I can only hope to discern.
