FLYING DINOSAURS

AWW GEEZ, HERE WE GO AGAIN.  24 hour comic day, ROUND 2.  Comic's below the cut  Hope you enjoy it!
( A NEW FOE APPROACHES )</div>

And there we have it!  Huge huge thanks to lecheporfavor and blitzdrachen and everyone else downstairs in the basement with us as we powered through these things!  I only got around 15 pages done in the actual 24 hours, but I liked what I was doing so much that I went through and finished it anyway.  Hope you enjoyed it!

That is all.

I picked up BlazBlue the other day, being the big fighting game fan that I am. A common sort of "fact of life" among most players who pick up a new game is that they're going to suck HORRENDOUSLY, and wind up getting better with time, or quitting altogether. I seemed to suck EXTRA hard at this one at first, but that may have something to do with the fact that I picked the character who is arguably the single most complicated one to learn how to use properly (something I still probably don't do). It got to the point where I made note cards with combos on them so I could memorize them and practice them for literally HOURS on end.



Anyway, I'm getting a little better at it, so it's only a matter of time before I'm smashing enemies left and right.  That, or I'll hit a wall of higher skilled players, and have to repeat the process all over again.  Either way, looking forward to it.

So, I went to a Pokemon Tournament yesterday.  This is how it went.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Pretty much every single person there had a Garchomp.  And, to compensate, just about every person brought some bulky Ice Type to deal with it.  It's unfortunate that my team couldn't really deal with either of those two things.



BUT OH WELL.  I guess there's always next time, or whatever.  A gigantic piece should be up soon (the reason Final Boss is like a month behind) and then more Final Boss.  SHOULD BE COOL I GUESS.

After WAAAAY too long of this and that and those things, the 5th page is finally done!  YEEEAH!  Korone begins his weapons training!  Who knows what will happen!  Well, I know, but you don't!  Next page should be up Sunday or Monday.  Depending on how busy the weekend is.

So, here's where I finally show you these projects that have been taking away from Final Boss for so long.

This is the first project of two, and it's going to be featured in one of the biggest art shows that our area gets.  Period.  So, I went one step ahead of the normal, and created the first comic book (that I know of, anyway) that this show has ever seen.



DEFENDERS OF EARTH!  Just finished making the first copy of the thing.  Gonna print out a few more pages tomorrow, and head over to Kinkos to get 200 copies of the thing.  Maybe even more if it proves to be really popular.


And an interior shot, because every post needs two pictures.

Jesus Christ, those photos are massive.  Sorry about that.  Anyway, as the show progresses, I'll get more photos of the copies and maybe some of a few chumps people walking around with the comic, and hopefully enjoying it!

And, of course, shots of the other project as soon as that one gets completed.

FINALLY.  Another page of Final Boss!  "But, Gray, why did it take so long?" you are surely asking.  Well, the story is long and stupid and things of that nature, so let's just say I got hit with a ton of stuff to do for an art show that took priority.  When the thing I made gets all finalized and stuff, I'll let you guys see it.  But until then, you will only have my word to keep you from seeing me as a terrible terrible procastinator.

If all goes well, we'll have YET ANOTHER page on the normally sceduled time of SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY.  If not, then Monday I promise.  We should be back on track within a week, so hang on a liiiittle bit longer while I get my work schedule fixed.


Until then, you can play this gem six thousand times over.  I have, so that obviously means that you can too!

YYYEEEAAAAAH, another new page of Final Boss!  Sorry it's a day late.  Schoolwork began to pile up, blah blah blah, excuses excuses excuses.  We're right on track for Sunday's update though, so be ready for that.  And if I miss too many Wednesdays, then I might just update this on Thursday and Sunday.  WHO KNOWS WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS?

Also, something odd is happening when I upload the image.  The screentones seem different and it is really beginning to make me mad.  I'll keep working on fixing it, but until then, enjoy the page. Nevermind I fixed it.

Here's some more Final Boss for you guys.  Enjoy!

The first page of a new comic project that kicks off the ground TODAY!  This one follows the tale of the young Lord Korone, as he goes through the necessary training to become one a hated and feared FINAL BOSS.  He will be taught all the traditions that all Final Bosses must know, such as fighting with stupidly gigantic weapons, delivering a powerful pre-fight monolouge, AND MORE.

And here's the cool part.  Final Boss will update not once, but TWICE a week.  I'll shoot for Wednesdays and Sundays.  If I miss a day, just expect the next update on the next scheduled day.  BUT WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR FLYING DINOSAURS?  I'll still do short stories every so often when Lord Korone and his crew start to get tedious to draw.  Just maybe not as often?  Who knows.

This week's comic is going to be a little late.  Though this time, for an actually pretty good reason!  Nobody wants to hear the long version of the story before hearing the short version, so I'll skip the long story altogether, and go straight for the short version.  A group school project sort of imploded on me and my group, so now we gotta scramble around and pick up the pieces and put SOMETHING together before the day ends.

SO, I'll be working frantically on the comic after this video project is all said and done with, and immediately start work on next week's post, which isn't as much of a comic as more of an interesting challenge/idea.

And maybe in a week or so after I finish up with this insane "SENIOR YEAR'S COMIN TO A CLOSE HAVE SOME PROJECTS" period, I'll continue the BAD COMICS ROUND 2 again.

 

Hey everyone!  We have ourselves a ROBOT AND SHARK comic!  You know what that means!  I didn't finish the intended comic on time!  It's a very special occasion that can only be properly celebrated with a robot and a shark!  That is totally the reason.  If you think otherwise then fuck you.

 

There are all kinds of problems with this scan but it is late and I am tired and the paper is too big for the scanner anyway.

TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES, YOU GUYS!  TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES!  About three days ago or so, the ruler I used to make borders and the like, along with a load of my comic making supplies have either gone missing or have died in combat.  SO, the comic for this week will more than likely be late.  I'm gonna try my best to either get new supplies by the end of today, or make due with what I have.  If anything, I'm gonna try and get at least the first page uploaded before the end of the day, and maybe another before the end of the weekend, but, again, it all depends on wether or not I can get my supplies either replenished or working for me today or tomorrow.

SO TO MAKE UP FOR THIS DISASTER, I'll go ahead and post what's been killing my supplies.  This piece has taken me FOREVER to make, and it has also probably contributed to the late comic but damn, I love it so much.

SEE YOU GUYS LATER TODAY MAYBE?

IT'S HOURLY COMIC DAY, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!  WHO WANTS TO SEE HOW ACTION-PACKED AND ADVENTURE FILLED MY DAY WAS?!

Yeah, I don't know if I'd want to read a comic about my day.  It's been pretty uneventful thus far.  BUT HEY, JUST ANOTHER CHALLENGE, RIGHT?!  Let's see if we can't make this dull day more interesting with the magic of COMICS.




















YEEAAAAAH!  FINISHED IT AND (as of right now) GOT IN THE TOP TEN AMOUNT OF VIEWS FOR HOURLY COMIC DAY.

NOT HALF BAD, I GOTTA SAY!  Thanks to everyone who read them, and another thanks to anyone who decides to stop by for more comics in the future!


The terrorist mentioned in the 2:15 PM comic

MECHA BROFIST FROM THE 5:45 PM COMIC

 



Tried something different with this one.  Drew and colored the entire thing with just a blue ballpoint pen and some highlighters.  Hindsight tells me that I should have used orange instead of yellow because of just how poorly yellow translates from paper to scanner.  At least it SORTA showed up, I guess.  All and all, though, the style was pretty fun.  Now I just gotta figure out how to use it the best I can.

Anyway, this one takes place in the same world as that nice and depressing comic I did this summer at SVA.  Just in a completely different style and following completely different characters.

Oh, and tomorrow, we have the fabled HOURLY COMIC DAY, as started by John Campbell of Pictures for Sad Children.  Objective is to draw one comic for every hour you're awake, and because I live such an EXCITING and ACTION PACKED life, I decided I'd share it all with you guys and do some hourly comics myself.  Look for em TOMORROW here and on the hourly comic website.  If my account there ever gets activated, that is.  Wonder what the hold up could be...

YESSS.  FINISHED.  Man, that last panel was a blast to make.

Anyway, this is MASTER BLASTER, a guy who loves guns on a quest to find the BEST GUN EVER before the mysterious and dangerous gang "El Muchachos" can.  Full of action, gunplay, and action, look for Master Blaster in future FD posts.

I love his concept sketches so much I might have to post them.

 




20 more bad comics in the time it should have taken to do fifty!  WOW, I'm productive!

Actually, no.  That is a lie.  Truth be told, I've been focusing on these less and less, so I think I'm just gonna do them on my own schedule instead of trying to get 10 per day.  I did it for the first 200, so I don't really have to prove that I can AGAIN.

There was also this awesome sketch that I was gonna scan in and display with pride but I have on idea where the hell my sketchpad went.  Maybe later today if I find the thing.

 30 BAD COMICS IIINNNNCOOMMMIIING








If everything goes according to plan, we'll have THIRTY more bad comics tomorrow!  MAYBE EVEN MORE.  MY GOD.

My internets are being all crazylike so the BAD COMICS and last week's story aren't here, as you can plainly see.  They're done (for the most part, anyway) and I'll get them up there when my stuff gets back to normal.

So yeah, massive BAD COMIC dump coming sooner or later.
