Art Lessons

Posted by Dan Reed on Tuesday, June 11, 2013, In : Administration 
I had the luxury of sitting down with an artist who showed me some color and shading techniques which i practiced in this update. i like the results and will probably become faster as i progress so hopefully the next update will not take me so long to post. but even if it does, the wait its worth it.

but best of all my readership has expanded, analytics reports at least four people are returning visitors

Were Back!

Posted by Dan Reed on Sunday, August 19, 2012, In : Administration 
Took much longer than i wanted, but were back. the new scanner allows me to draw them by hand and scan in then edit on my computer instead of just drawing it in the computer, it's just a little faster, and the quality is better.  hopefully it will prove to have been worth the wait.

#8

Posted by Dan Reed on Tuesday, September 7, 2010, In : Comic 
i'm getting closer to my goal of posting weekly.  i'm getting to where i can draw Velorak on the first try. (though him stooped over the "drinking fountain" in the last strip was kinda tricky...) this strip took about two and a half hours to draw. and half an hour to post. which is a new best.  i've also kept a version of this strip to practice shading on. if i like what i get you can expect it to become an extras section.

long awaited

Posted by Dan Reed on Saturday, August 28, 2010, In : Comic 

Those of you who are following this, might be intersted to know that this strip was drawn at double scale then shrunk to it's current size. i was hoping it would make the drawing easier and faster. which it did. however i got stuck halfway through so it still took me almost to weeks to post.  sorry.

Finally

Posted by Dan Reed on Sunday, August 15, 2010, In : Comic 
Pheew! at last i've got the next one up. some of the perspective angles simply would not come out the way i wanted. i'm still not truly satisfied. but then i probably never will be.  enjoy

Posted by Dan Reed on Wednesday, August 11, 2010, In : Administration 
Okay, so the fifth strip went up 9 days ago now and there really aught to be another up by now. but i'm having a hard time getting it drawn. those of you who have your own sites, probably understand my woes. to the rest of you, please accept my appologies. i'm not giving up there will be more strips. just keep checking back.

Thank you...

Also, i've decided aginst the black and white strips. in case you were wondering

and then there were 4

Posted by Dan Reed on Sunday, August 1, 2010, In : Comic 
    that makes 4 up. this one didn't take long to draw, but i sat down and wrote up some plot notes and put some of my other thoughts in order on paper, which took a while. so things should start to move along now that, that's done.

three up

Posted by Dan Reed on Friday, July 23, 2010, In : Comic 
And then there were three.  this one took me so long, because i was adding to the site while i was drawing it, i'ts also a six frame strip. it's gonna be a while before i do another one. i'm thinking of putting the next one in a higher resolution.

Changes 7-18

Posted by Dan Reed on Monday, July 19, 2010, In : Administration 
Today, i've changed the way the archive works. I believe the new format will handle more strips before becoming cumbersome. 

    i've also added this blog page, so that i may let you know how progress is going. or not going, whichever the case may be.
