ISSUE 3! I tried fixing my site up, but I’m going to have to wait until a web-designer friend can help out. So BEAR WITH ME until then. I appreciate any non-spambot comments. Even if you hate my comic! As[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
So, in December I’ll be doing a freelance illustration gig, two holidays, a wedding, working on Dungeon Panic (give if you can! I’ll do some work on the game no matter what, but I’d really like to be paid to[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
After reading some Archie comics I changed panel 2 to make the whole page a little more interesting compositionally. Archie comics tend to tell simple stories very directly and briskly, so reading them is like reading comics 101. ALSO PUNS.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Thinking of crate puns isn’t that hard, but I wouldn’t want to do it for a living. However, if you want to hire me and have me do it for a living I’m open to it.
I can’t wait to link you all to the freelance thing I’ve been working on for the past couple of months. I think it’s fun! And I’m not just saying that because they’re my favorite client to work for and[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Oh, I don’t remember if I mentioned this but Lori is a blanc de hotot. That’s where this chapter title comes from. If you were never tasked with looking up different kinds of rabbits there’s no reason for you to[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
So, to explain why I am angry at past Ian, I am posting my layout for this page imported into Manga Studio ex4. While it’s may be interesting to see how and what I change from the layouts I made[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
For the curious, if I were to make my comic in color this is what it would look like. It’s not a significantly larger amount of work but I don’t think it looks as nice. There’s also a theme going[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Sorry this is a couple days late! I was just finishing up a really fun freelance gig that I can’t wait to tell you about. It may be a while yet.
I used to have more specific advice for throwing a grappling hook properly, but realized that it was probably not true and that I would have to look up the proper way to throw one. Mainly: Spiral is probably bad[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I’ll be changing my update schedule to M-W-F starting 2013. It kind of makes more sense than Tu-Th-Sa I guess. Plus all the days only require one initial, which is nice.
There. Now I can’t make that joke again.
Of course we all know “apexual” really means “without pex.” Hope everyone has a great holiday, whether it be New Years, Christmas, a Wiccan solstice celebration, Boxing Day, Kwanzaa, or National Card Playing Day. But only one of those. This[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
My goal of doing 220 pages of comics in 2013 starts off where I want it, by doing any of it. I’m planning on updating tomorrow as well, as I’m not totally sure about how I should set up my[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
It might seem like a silly name to you, but this came to me in the middle of the night, startled me awake, whereupon I searched for pen and paper to write it down. “THIS NAME IS PURE GOLD,” I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
In their defense Scum, the mountain lion said something about a plan.
INSPIRED BY ANIME
What’s wrong Scum? It’s almost like you don’t WANT to pick through garbage. This comic, for the foreseeable future (hopefully through all of 2013!) will be updating 5 days a week! I am attempting to make 220 pages of comics[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Real Talk: I think people should refer to crumbs as morselcules
Out of curiosity, you guys aren’t that interested in Cheap Louis Vuitton wallets, purses or handbags, right? I’ve been deleting comments about them but if you guys really want them, I have some good leads.
No takers on those Cheap Louis Vuitton handbags? I guess I’ll keep deleting them then.
TIP FOR OTHER COMIC ARTISTS: It does not hurt to put in the word bubbles during the layout phase. These past two pages were an absolute NIGHTMARE to do because of poor layouts. My only excuse is that I did[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This weekend I took some time out to compile the print versions of issue 1 and 2, putting the title of each comic and the alt text on each page. It was quite tedious, but I am pretty sure that[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
If you don’t know how, you should really learn how to cook. It’s mostly just following directions and slowly learning what does and doesn’t work or pair right with other things. I have friends nearing and in their thirties who[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Saying that someone is still on about something isn’t that strange of a saying, Lori. No need to put quotes around it!
I was going to try to avoid making a snake long-s joke, but I guess I’m not above it like I liked to think I was.
Feel free to use these last two panels for all the snake jokes you don’t feel confident about on Tumblr.
Real poll question that I’d like to see answered in the comments: Do these snakes want to prey on Spry, Lori and Flip, or do they actually want to party? The answer will be revealed later this year, but I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I’ll admit that I don’t have an entirely solid grasp on the way Agnus is drawn, but I went from dreading making the pages she’s in to really enjoying them. I hope that updates won’t slow down this week or[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Guys I really like Super Mario 2. I think about it pretty often.
I have been every character in this particular kind of situation
I’m not so proud that I won’t admit to taking those musical bars from sheet music. If you’ve ever heard a song I’ve written, and can read music you should thank me.
Usually spam is a harmless nuisance that I just delete and let it be done with, but these kind of spambots are more than a little insulting.
It’s weird, because I used to be the most cynical person I knew, but writing and then handlettering out Chris the Elephant’s dialog was really emotionally draining and made me uncomfortable. He’s mostly in this comic as a reference to[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
From the original draft of today’s comic.
Trying to think of puns for the next issue and it’s not going as well as I had hoped. Issue/chapter 4 begins on the 21st. I’m taking a week off to do some heavy-duty writing on my next two of[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
COMIC TRIVIA (warning: very, very trivial): My fiancee and I once had a serious discussion about whether Spry should have plantigrade legs or not. Plantigrade legs, in case you weren’t aware, are the kind of legs we have, where you[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
“WE” DID IT! We got through chapter three! On Wednesday and Thursday there will be two bonus pages and on Friday the cover will be posted. Regular updates resume on the 18th of February. The end is in sight! Of[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This comic was done EXTRA BIG to see if it was a thing I could handle. It winds up that NO it is not. I made a few weird mistakes that I wouldn’t usually make. That said, I think the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This is the 100th page I’ve published on Pilotside.us! It’s also the last page of Issue/Chapter 3! I’m so thankful at the opportunity to even be able to do comics. Everything just came together at the right time to let[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I probably should post these FIRST, huh? Usually I do them last so that they look the nicest. For those curious about my process, this is a piece of the line art from the cover shrunk down by half. If[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
