Hey, everyone – it’s Sunday night and this week’s feature presentation has been pre-empted by me being sick all week. Like an idiot I worked through the week and made myself progressively worse, but two days off have helped a great deal. However, I went on a regimen of zero stress since Friday, and unfortunately that includes drawing comics on a Sunday deadline, so the comic is going to be back next week.
Sorry about the delay and thank you for understanding. And all you out there who decide “I’m not THAT sick, I’ll just work a LITTLE overtime this week” – don’t do that. Know how much overtime you can work when you’re immobilized? Yeah.
Rubble is not as easy to draw as you might think, but it is a lot of fun. This is what I’d like to call the first part of the “thrilling conclusion” phase of the chapter. Cue the Carter Burwell soundtrack. Or Jimi Hendrix? Take your pick.
Just a lot of the same for me this week. Nothing to report but more work, long hours, and general exhaustion. You know, par for the course. I’ll make it, though.
See you all next week.
I love this. Rubble is a pain in the ass but ocean water is way worst. In Fed 3, I got so tired of drawing water. I guess I shouldn’t have had the main story take place on an island. LOL!
God, water is just the WORST. Some people do it so effortlessly but water and sky are the two most irritating things to draw for me.
And yes, sometimes I question having set the main part of the story in an underground base, myself. But it’s where it is, so I mean… too late now!
Cue to „The Last of Us ending theme“.
Hah! Maybe!
For some reason I personally have something a little more “metal” in mind.
It would be cool to see Mike knocking a bunch of rubble off of himself by swinging the turret around.
😀
I would think the sky would be tough 😛 (then again, I suck with colors)
The sky is a lot of weird lighting effects. I’m still learning how to do it and you can see all my various experimentations throughout the comic, some more successful than others.
Just wondering: How many chapters are left?
There are five more after this one.
That picture here has a really well done post-apocalyptic vibe. Really eery.
And a lunar eclipse? *does a quick research* So, I think I recall there from somehwere earlier in the comic that this is the year 1997, and there was only one total luncar eclipse visible from Africa that year. So, am I right to assume that in the comic it is the 16th September 1997?
Wow, you get the prize for research, that’s for sure!
Thank you for all you put into your comic! I know it’s hard after working to go into other “work”
Thanks man. I appreciate that a lot! Fact is, no sooner did I post this week’s page then I fell violently ill, so it is sometimes a bit of a struggle! But it’s good to know people are sticking with me!
Well, on the bright side, looks like the latest nuclear strike preserved intact the stunning vistas of post-apocalyptic Katanga! Any surviving personnel will have something nice to look anyway… 😀
Stunning in a “blasted, charred wasteland” kind of way…
hmm a scene like that makes me wonder if something broke out or broke in.
😀
Well we’ll see!
there is beauty in this
😀
Sublime ruins, right? I’m a big fan of Thomas Cole’s paintings of ruined civilizations.
