TOOTHACHE - a comic

It's finished!













So this is what I've been working on for the past month roughly, each panel was done on a separate 4x6 piece of cardstock, and at first I was just making different drawings in the cave environment with the character before I formed the story around them and they were pushed to different parts of the book. I'm surprised some of these pages work, next time I'll be putting everything on single pages to avoid some of the awkward page layouts.

I was thinking of making a print version, but decided against it since it's only a 12 page story (including cover) I think I'll make 2-3 more short stories like this and put all of them together before I print anything.

Hope you enjoyed this, any comments would be very appreciated.

EDIT: fixed the last page, had the panels backward somehow .-.;;

Many Directions

Okay lets start with these two comics I made!

That one I kind of just decided I needed to use that paneled page I printed out so I drew it straight forward and figured it out by the second panel.

This one is deffinetely heavily inspired by Ryan Pequin's Three Word Phrase comics, those comics are so good, jeeze.

Here are the sketch pages, I was watching Two Towers during the first few

I should probably have edited that dwarf out.. yeuch.




Drew these pages during a ustream by nina of mis0happy.tumblr more about that further down in the post though


Some index cards, these are becoming my favorite way to draw.



These last two were from index cards I took to work, and a couple pieces of the printer tape which happens to be index width.


A few random doodling getting my tablet work out that I put off doodles.



This is for a thing that was going around tumblr, a 30 day drawing challenge which you can read about here and this is the tumblr for the person who started it princesssylvia.tumblr I'm going to try to do all of these in that same "lineless" sort of look, as far as I can anyways.
These last few were drawn in a style I learned from nina who I mentioned above, the doodles on her blog are really cute, so I had asked if she drew at size and she explained her technique in this post
I used it to draw some pokèmon and other things
I've been watching Avatar recently, I'm a few episodes into the second season, really enjoying it, I think there is an avatar drawing in the index cards above.

I think that's all I have, I'm almost finished with the longer comic I've been working on (well kind of working on, the last two days I mostly studied cute drawings, I think I'll force myself to either color all the stuff that's ready for it or draw the panel and cover and back and color half tonight and then finish it up on saturday, and somewhere between there get this other comic that I have blocking me up out, that is if I can stop wanting to just draw cute tiny pokemon.

The only other thing I want to mention is this:

I've listened to this album at least twice each day this week, soooo good

There's a bunch of great fan art of her from an IDYS on the Electric Ant Zine Blog which I now wish I had jumped on the last 3 hours when I found it to get a piece in for this.

that's it for now, I had more stuff than I thought

Fragments

Okay, I haven't posted in a while, but I promise I'm working on something neat, that will be done sometime next week for sure, I wanted it on Sunday, but it's not looking like I'll make it.

Here's another of those 4x6 watercolors, I have about 5 more on my desk but haven't gotten around to coloring them yet.

More Pokemon Doodles



Here's another page from that comic, which I'll try to be doing more of soon, even though I'm not sure where it's going. I think I might need to draw it larger because this was so much stuff to cram into a letter-size page.

These are from a comic that I started drawing digitally but never got around to finishing because they started to look too noisy, and I threw away the words because I thought I had them somewhere else, I may or may not revisit this idea though.




Here are the newest set of index cards:



I also made another 4-frame animation, a dancing Nar from Niko Anesti's GEOWeasel


He's still reposting all the episodes on NewGrounds, so go up vote those if you can, they're some of my favorite cartoons: GEOWeasel.Newgrounds


Oh, also the amazing Michael Deforge made a mixtape for the INKSTUDS blog, and it's totally amazing, check it out here: http://inkstuds.com/?p=2983

I think that's all for now, hope you like these and I'll post that thing as soon as I have it ready.

Maybe I should pause this book, but I'm listening to Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions right now so I'm not thinking of what to write here.



I watched the first 4 episodes of Pokemon last night, I don't know if I'm going to watch more, but man that show is not how I remembered it, but Pokemon are such silly creatures.



Some more index cards, need to be inking more and making these.



UPDATE:
KC Green mentioned it was draw a dog tuesday today, so:

I also decided I wanted to make this in honor of Jess Fink's birthday.



She draws the awesome(though NSFW) Chester 5000 XYV
You should check out her blog: finkenstein on livejournal
She's also on twitter: @JessFink

I think that's all, I do like making these 4 frame animations though.
