3 new comics!

Here are three new ones I have been working one. I should at least 2 more to add in the next few days. As to two what those may be about I can promise Kyle making another appearance, something paying my respects to a certain super hero and if I have time Hk-Trevor -7 may be making a return as well as the introduction of a new character. But for now lets focus on what we have! :D

1. "Brent's Dream"

This one was inspired by a conversation Brent and I had. I basically regurgitated Brent's brilliant words into his dialog bubbles. I swear the man is a poet at times. The ratio of this one in much more dialog heavy with less in the way of actually vision humor. I should hopefully still be funny.


2. "Can't Out Run Her"

The idea for this comic began with the news that Chelsea did in fact win 2nd place in her event at the state track meet. I decided i wanted to make a comic to comemorate her victory. However some where along the way t morphed into this. it is noted Brent and Chelsea never did go to a dance together, although Scott jokingly suggested the idea once and Trev and I made sure to give Brent crap about it ever since....it is also to be noted i hope Chelsea like this, because if she doesn't, I can't out run her!


3. "My Childhood Dream"

In grade school I wanted to owned fighting roosters. This was a combination of the fact I hated the chicken we had, I loved the song "Gallo de Ceiro" by Ian Tyson, and of course mother's encouragement. She bought me some movie about a slave who won enough money cock fighting to free himself...it was kinda weird, anyway.... Also take not that the drawing in panel 5 is also based of a actual drawing I did in 3rd grade. Yes, I was a strange child, a strange child who grew up to make cartoons.

Some sketches for week

Here are some rough skeletons for what I am going to be working inking and coloring this weekend. I know they are not much to look at right now but they should look pretty good once I do a little editing.

Don't you love it when you can't decide which one is best?

alright folk we got something final finally! Check it scanned, inked, colored and given words! Yeah I am still experimenting with shading but that's not important right now. Beloow are the first 3 completed comics of what i call RTB 4th series.

1. "My Point is Still Valid"

This was actually written by Trevor and facebooked to me strait from the front lines. Now that is what I call dedication! At any rate this was my first attempt at color and with a few grey edges turned out to my liking. You will also notice the use of my new custom font. My only hope is that it is legible.


2."Meth?"

The following is based on a mostly true story of the last time Ashley and I visited Jamba Juice. This was one I tossed to together while bored at the museum one day. My only regret is that I was so idea deprived I actually made a Twilight reference. On the upside you get to see what Ash will look like in fourth series :)


3. "You don't think I'm worth it do you?"

This was very loosely based of off a forgotten comic from the 2nd RTB. The original was a 4 paneler in which had Ashley and Fatima talking about shoes they bought, Brent and Trevor over hear them and get confused so decided to talk about video games. Finally Ashley and Fatima get more confused by the video game talk then the guys had been. The idea was far from original and over boring seeing as i didn't even finish the last panel but instead turned into a drawing of Shane in a dress.
The original idea quite unsalvageable I decided to just take the bones of guys and girls being different. Although after chewing out a guildy for a said ToC10 performance I decided maybe we aren't so different..... at any rate In addition to introducing Chelsea and Michelle back to the series i also used this a chance to play with gradients.

4. "Getin' the girls?....maybe?"

This was a calabrative writen work between Kyle and I. Having payed way to close attention in his ornotholgy class lets just says kyle has had birds on the brain. Me on the other hand..I just want to watch Star Wars again. We trsformed both desires into quick visual jokes and tied them together with a classic Brent moment and an intro with Trevor. Also of note is the cameo of Kyle's friend Amanda in panels 7 and 8. I think in addition to being funny this comic will also help to establish the characters personalities which I am really hoping to make more defined in fourth series.


In the coming week I intend to keep working cranking out more of these. As it is I am working on a comic now about me trying to help Kyle save a damsel. I am slowly remaking old comics from the original Random Thought Books, however remaking stuff tends to be boring and I lose interest fast and will likely focus more on newer work. However if anyone has a particular comic they would like me to remake sooner then later. Just let me know on the facebook

Kyle made me put this up early

Kyle couldn't wait for me to gather everything together so you get this one an hour or two early. Here ya go....more to follow

COLOR!

We finally have some color! Bellow are the first two examples of how we are expecting things to start looking in the future. The first still need the background put in and both need the dialog set once I make my font. At any rate more color to follow, I'll keep everybody posted.

Paper Craft Figure

Above is a printable foldable and somewhat reasonable facsimile of my cartoon character. At anyrate it is something with color.
