I don't know. I don't think I've ever seen something this inane on BZPower before. I don't even know what the point was. (I really don't know why I actually read the entire thing...) I can't say exactly why but gah what I swear we have rules about this but I can't find them
Especially made from my previously horrid and messy version, a newer more shiny version, custom by Swert to use on my very own business cards! (Business card not shown here because it links to an external blog with a comment system.) IT'S SOOO BEAUTIFUUUUUL
I spent all day yesterday doing this. Eleven straight hours with one total hour of break time. Here's a picture. Then I stayed up until 4 am sorting out one of the many scrap buckets. WHY IS THERE SO MUCH LEGOOOOOO
Just a couple things since my mouse keeps dying on me and I'm running out of batteries. ( http://www.majhost.com/gallery/Kakaru/Art/Nathan8472comic/bannershop_02_27_2012.jpg ) Comic. Yes, there are at least three Guide references in this one. There's going to be another in the next page, as well as a revelation as to BZPower's surrounding environment. You can probably guess if you've been paying attention. I really am that bad at drawing masks. The pictures on the board in p#3 are mine and
I had this lame comic created years back that used my own sprites and stuff. Thankfully I never posted it or I'd never live it down in my own mind. I lost the actual comics when we changed computers, but I managed to salvage the sprite sheet and the background. So naturally I decided to recreate it in all its awful grandeur for ironic purposes. Enjoy or don't. That's really what it was like. I had a dozen panels ready to upload and post, I just never got the courage to do it. You c
Like, siriusly. Do you guys even read his blog. He's actually pretty cool. I get it: his posts (or warnings) are short and to the point, which gives the impression that he's cold and uncaring. Honestly, it's his job to make sure the community doesn't fall apart and he's doing a bloody good job of it. He really does care about the site and it's members, he's careful not to abuse his power and he doesn't play careless whack-a-mole with his banhammer. I'm sure if I was Administrator of the e
Link to the topic and comic being discussed. Overused downtime joke is overused. Uhhh, not much to say here. With page 6 (or 12, depending on how you define a page) finished, I'm going to start on a guest comic for Bionicle Manga, one of the most ambitious hand-drawn comics in AIII. The art isn't necessarily the best, but it shows distinct signs of improvement from chapter 1 to chapter 4 and I admire his determination; refusing to give up even in the face of a horrid lack of replies or even
link to the topic and comic being discussed. Editing this thing was so frustrating. I scrunched up the first half of the page when I was erasing, then ripped the corner when I was trying to flatten it out again. Yes, the rip is still visible in p#6. I thought it looked like he cracked the wall, which was pretty funny. I had to edit it out in the doorway, because you can't crack the empty space between walls. The second half of the comic just wasn't working at all. The dialogue didn't flow, t
Link to the topic and comic being discussed blah blah Not a lot to say here. The first half of the page was exceptionally fun to draw and the second half was bugger all. p#8 was originally two panels but it was too restricting so I scrapped it and spliced in one panel afterwards. In p#3 I accidentally drew V's foot with a shoe instead of a boot like I did in page 1. I caught myself, but it was distressing nonetheless. The entire thing didn't come together as well as I had hoped. The panels
We've been without running water since Saturday night here and have had to keep large buckets of water around for everything. It was kinda gross. Try washing your hands by holding a large pitcher in one hand and pouring it on the other, then switch and wash the other hand. Oh, and make sure you have a lot of soap on your hands ahead of time so the handle is nice and slippery. IT'S FINALLY FIXED I DON'T HAVE TO WASH MY HANDS WITH A PITCHER AAAA It's amazing how much you take running water for
I decided I need a better blog entry. So here we go. I'm trying to get all worked up about something so I can post a really long rant but nothing really comes to mind. Biscotti just means mixed links and images. If you caught the reference and can name the site, +2 meta points. I suppose I'm a little annoyed about earbuds. Really. I go through earbuds like other people go through socks, provided you're one of those people who wears holes in socks on a weekly basis. It gets expensive and I ho
Past Kakaru: Of all the BZPower related fads, this is the one I understand the least. I'm reading through the Homestuck archive (and oh my goodness it's big) and Problem Sleuth on the side. It's good, I just can't bring myself to believe the size of the fanbase here. Can someone help me out? What on earth is this? ._. Current Kakaru: Lol, silly past self that didn't know how good this was. Haha. Homestuck fan for life. 8) Future Kakaru: You guys have no idea how awesome it gets.
Link to the topic and comic being discussed. I hate panel 12 so much. Don't get me wrong: I'm fine with it as is now, but I kept trying to make Kakaru hit the rahkshi over the head with his staff and it just didn't flow or make sense. For one, the rahkshi is supposed to be way taller than both of them, so there was no angle to show him hitting it that made it dramatic or comedic enough without looking cluttered. That, and Velox has katanas strapped to his back, and it made no sense for them to
Link to the topic and the comic being discussed. The expression on Kakaru's face in panels 3-4 was way funnier in the rough draft. Unfortunately there was no way to transfer it from two dots and a line to a complete face without losing some of the humour. I was tempted to leave it the way it was but that would have looked awful in context. The expression on Velox's face in panel 5, on the other hand, came across perfectly. His stance and the dialogue help get across the "are you kidding me w
Don't worry, my blog isn't going to turn into a thoughts-about-comics thing. I'll post regular entries, this is just the easiest way to share my thoughts on each chapter of my comic. Then again, my life is pretty boring so I suppose this is the best use my blog has seen. Link to the topic and the comic being discussed. I really enjoyed making this first page. I've had the concept floating around for quite a while and even had about six pages drawn, but they were outdated and no longer funny
please don't go to my head please don't go to my head please don't go to my head Wow, it's hard to describe quite how much this means to me. Looking back on my time as BZPower, I've probably earned a reputation as "least likely to achieve any significant status," and I guess I was okay with that for my first few years. I looked up to the staff with awe and occasional abject terror. A lot of stuff happened that first year, including assorted warnings for sig size violations, profile pic siz
Here's the general concept of a short comic I've been playing around with, based off my experience working in Nathan8472's Banner Shop when it was still around three (four?) years ago. I don't know if I'll ever get around to posting everything I have, but whatever.
If it seems like Kakaru is dehydrated in the BZPRPG, it's because they say to write what you know. AND HOLY BLARGH I HAVE A HEADACHE I AM DEHYDRATED AND IT SUCKS. So yeah, probably should have drank more water when I went paintballing. It was pretty fun otherwise. I got caught in an open field once, then managed to flank two snipers at the top of a box canyon and took one of them out by running his tank dry while my teammate snuck over the top of the cliff. Awww yeahhhhh 8)
