The following 12 images are photo-shopped pictures from my post apocalyptic anti-narrative. They tell the story of what life will be like in the post apocalypse. It is gonna be hardcore.

Epic Mathiys
The past week of thanksgiving break, was spent chaotically running around Dreadford with mother looking for "things" for my house that apparently everyone should have. In addition, laying around in a semi foodcoma and doing my best to maintain focus on the completion of this beast.
I suppose its partially my fault for putting most of it off, however I am not one to complain about something that turned out well, and I must say after about 40 hours of inking while listening to the Blue Plz podcast and sipping Dew the result has turned out well.
A brief introduction to start you off. This graphic novel is intended to be something of a modern reinterpretation of the classic "Don Quiote". The scene the reader sees swaps between the views of the two protagonists, Dave and Mathiys. All the character in this book, save the "LK" are based off of people I met on WoW. But I ramble so without further interruption...

Ash's kinda Late Gift...not my fault!
I finally gave Ashley her graduation/birthday gift late enough to practically tack a "/christmas" onto it as well. I want to note that this is not my fault, well, at least not entirely. I began this project in July and finished it in September, which I guess even then would technically still make it a late gift...but as late?...I digress!
The gift was the a carved wooden box, not terribly large but not particularly small either, the kind that is perfect to place on ones dresser or perhaps nightstand and keep important little things in. The project began with the acquiring of some hand carving tools my dad had, followed by a bit of practice and the purchase of wood. The idea to make a box like this came from a gift I received on my High School graduation from a gentlemen at my church.
Below is a picture of box lid, still unstained. The wood is a piece of hard cherry which, using a combination of hand tools, dremel and soldering iron I carved/burned to create the result below. I would also like to note that this lid was extremely difficult to get rimmed to the size I needed, I actually had to go to a cabinet shop to get it cut right. Bloody hardwoods...at any rate...
after they asked what I was making I couldn't help but notice them raises an eyebrow as i responded with "The project is ambitious beyond your imaginations wildest comprehensions" :)
Moving on! The picture above ,however, was merely the lid, the remainder of the box was made from glued slabs of light bass wood. The only of place with burning/carving was on the bottom of the inside of the box. The image below shows a stage on minimal carving to this section inwhich I had been experimenting with using burning to create definition.
Finally with the carving done and sanded smooth I added a mahogany stain for the final result. i was particularly pleased with the look of the stain over the burnt shading of the bottom image. All in all a deam this project a sucess.

New stuff comming soon
I apologize for not having any new comics in like...literally months. My bad guys, I just need to get my hand on a new wacom tablet and we will be good to go. However Very soon expect to see some progress posts on my graphic novel for my print class. Don't want to give to much away but I will say that is a modern take of "Don Quixote" simply titled "Mathiys".
So keep your eyes peeled for some new pencil/inks coming soon, and perhaps if I get time I will scan some random sketches I did this summer just for kicks. OH and in the near future (Near meaning anywhere within a week to 4 months) I might be posting some pics of my big summer craftsman project. However for the moment I would like to keep something of a lid on the details relating to that. Alright so good things to come! Nate out!

BALLZ! ZERG RUSH!
This is the result of me attempting to create animated life while I can only think of raising my starcraft 3v3 team (Triple Raynor, Triple Pleasure), up in the league standings.
The following two were less interesting animations I also did of balls....bouncing. Bouncing balls.
