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.

Movie Posters

Below are the two hardcore movie poster I did this week. The first is for a film titled "Art Wars" both the idea and the poster are meant to be a spoof of Star Wars and the Star Wars post.



The first poster got me warmed up to begin work on the second more epic poster. This one was more personal as I decided to make it for a movie cocept based off my best friend from high school Brent. Brent is a rocker, a self proclaimed wizard of groove. I decided to title it "Juke Box Hero" after listening to foreigner. I composed the image of several pictures of Brent as well as Aaron Bailey (another good friend) and images of Scarlett Johansson I found online. Why Scarlett? Well....she's hot. I tried to capture the idea of "Drugs, Sex and Rock 'n Roll", which was my original title idea. I also found some stage images and stuffed them in the background. Then I just spent most of the day tweaking the light and colors to get them perfect. I am rather proid of my work.


This summer Brent Long is the Juke Box Hero......he had one guitar....

Movie Poster Visual Research

Scarlyn

Continuing the trend for this week of power babe studies, I decided to refine my search to the World of Warcraft universe. I decided early in the week that I would draw for DMF my rogue who I have been working to level lately, for I believe she is indeed a power babe.

The Following image is not my Rogue... This is just something I found ealier tonight in the WoW Fan Art that I thought was Way hardcore and deserved note. I really like the almost comic book style in it, the shadows on the cloak and the like, and the magic....anyway!


Sylvannis aside..... Scarlyn is my Rogue and I did two images of her. One using primarily changes in value to make definition, for a darker look that says "I am Rogue and I am creepy". And a second in the cartoon style of which I am so very fond, that says "I will so mess you up!"
