Opens in September

I don't think anyone reads this, but just in case, I wanted to make an update so people don't think I've abandoned the site.

I've been working like CRAZY on this comic. The more I work on it, the better I get at drawing. The better I get at drawing, the more detail I want to put in. The more detail I want to put in, the longer it takes to finish!

I've now got 72 pages complete out of a planned 112. I plan to start debuting the comic online in September, with weekly 8-page installments. The first series should be wrapped up in December. Hopefully, it will continue with a second Volume at some point in the distance, but I'll definitely be taking a significant break. This is tough, but fulfilling work! More so than I imagined.

I've posted one panel I'm fond of, as a preview. It's starting to look really awesome, which is frustrating, because the artwork at the beginning of the story pales in comparison to what I'm doing now. Part of me wants to go back and touch up or retouch certain parts, but I think it'll be better to just post things as I originally drew them. That way you get to see the evolution of the artwork. Maybe when the whole thing's been posted, I'll take some time to go back and "remaster" some of the panels from the first half of the story.

Anyway, I'm more psyched for this than ever, the story is coming together in a better way than I imagined, and the artwork is better than I ever thought I'd be able to do. I can't wait to share it.

So: I am making a promise, now, to my nonexistent readers, that these will start getting posted online in September.

Update and Wallpaper

I just finished issue 5. I did the entire thing in one day, but I barely had time to do anything else that day outside of playing some mini-golf and going grocery shopping. The issue is very exciting, because it widens the scope of the Mime Hunters adventure. I can't wait to get this comic up and running. Just another month or two before I can fully launch it, I think.

In the meantime, I decided I'd share an awesome picture that I've been using as my desktop wallpaper. As a preview of the characters who will be featured - here is Quackmeyer, the wizard. He's one of the heroes. Enjoy!

The Big Baby

I'm still working on trying to figure out a feasible schedule for updating. I'd like to put out a new episode every week, but first I need to spend time building a substantial buffer of already-finished episodes. I might have to go for every two weeks, but even that seems like it could be rough. Once I start this project, I don't want to be slack on the updates, so I'd rather wait to get started until I know I have enough material to blow through an entire story arc without any unscheduled lapses in production.

Anyway, I figure'd I'd post a particularly awesome picture from tonight as a preview; this is a newly-conceived villain/henchman called The Big Baby. Enjoy:

Starting a blog

Good Morning.

I'm starting a blog. Hopefully I will post my ongoing adventure comic book series, "MIME HUNTERS," on a regular basis. I am still trying to figure out a schedule that will be sustainable without overworking me. So nothing yet.

I can also use the blog to post my new songs and video projects, of which there are many.

I also plan on sharing trivial information and passing thoughts. For example, I went to the dentist yesterday, and they did some work on a tooth (upper-right quadrant, 2nd tooth from the front). I woke up in the middle of the night to a painful snapping. A significant chunk of the tooth had broken off and was floating around in my mouth. Emily tells me I grind my teeth when I sleep. I assume the dentist will be able to fix everything. Let's hope so!
