The Third Faction

Ok, not a big fan of the last sketch? Me either, let’s try something else.

I’ve got more shadow for you. And you will probably getting more shadow until I feel comfortable with drawing him.

Also I’ve been working really hard on… improving. Primarily with shading, since I’m awful at it. This following image is the latest, I didn’t really ink it because of size issues. I may blow it up and ink it just to see how it looks though.

More coming soon!

And yet another…

Lil update. Decided to do an action shot.

Fruits are fantastic, though irrelevant.

This is one of those characters I hadn’t completely fleshed out, but now I have! Enjoy.

Don’t question the title of this, it doesn’t matter.

What does matter is that I’m still working on the comic here and there. It’s proving to be more of a task than I originally though. I did a few sketches of things and characters… and have been back to the conceptual stage for a few, for instance “Shadow - The Sage of Darkness”…

Funny thing is, I only have a really solid design for a hand full of characters, the rest are kind of obscure, so look out for a few really detailed concept art.

Here is a pretty good idea of what “Ray” will look like. I won’t ruin his character and go into too much detail about why he’s interesting, let’s just say the name fits.

Hopefully that will get some love, maybe not.

Last but not least, what I was considering doing in my previous post was a domain change. People seem to struggle with the concept of a .net, I don’t know why. I’d have to come up with some other relevent name first though.

You’ll know if I do.

…and… because I’m feeling generous. I suppose I’ll show you guys a “good” looking Thunder. This is pretty much dead on to how he will ultimately look:

One last note, I don’t think I’ll be using photobucket anymore, so art will be viewed here. It’s easier. Please comment.

Whelp, I’ve been considering shutting down the site…

…by which I mean simply changing the domain name. Actually my previous statement must have looked pretty decieving, but lets face it, that’s just the kind of guy I am.

As usual, I’ve lost my wind and I’ve gotten caught in the droll dullness that is the repeating mass of pitifully uneventful zombie-like repetition of every day working life. Nevertheless my mind is still tugging away (or if you’d like you can insert an equally witty metaphor in it’s place) and I’ve come up with a whole bag of ideas that may prove to make things even more awesome than they already are… which decidedly seems to be unawesome due to very little feedback from… anyone.

Big deal though, that’s ok, I can do this…

As usual I’d love to give details, and that may spark some interest, but I’m a huge jerk so… instead I’m going to do something else… something.. stupid?

Wait and see.

Sheesh, still at it! This is proving to be quite the task.

Well, I still am working full time… it’s a long story, but I bought some new paper and I feel like I’ve gotten better artistically so… why not? Here is page one… which is still subject to change.

And here is some artwork I did at work:

For more, go look at my photobucket.

So I have thirty-two pages of roughly done pages for the first chapter of TSS… it’s quite a long proccess for one guy, but I think I can pull it off.

I started inking a little bit just to see how it would go, so hey, I won’t deny you of that. Here is a random page from the first episode thus far… it’s still a work in progress.

Don’t worry, it will be prettier yet, and they wont be hosted on photobucket =P

Yep, the title pretty much sums it up, but it isn’t the full and honest truth. Soon I will be out of work again by the looks of it on May 16th… I won’t go into the boring details.

What I will tell you is I’m still working on the TSS comic. I got slowed down pretty drastically when I came down with a stomach flu and could not for the life of me cease to throw up. I’m going to be honest though, I’m a little bit worried about how receptive people are going to be to the first episode… reason being that it’s very… adult… and by that I mean very violent with a lot of adult language… which is odd because after that there really isn’t much of it for a long time… so the first episode basically serves as the pinnacle of vileness.

So! With that I think I’ll give a little backstory for the first episode before I release it to give you a decent idea of what exactly I intend to do here.

The Forgotten Desert today (In accordance to the current time in the beginning of the series) is very much a No Man’s Land. Due to the lack of government and boatload of exiles coming one after another. The island has become much of a prison… but in addition to that, a hierarchy of power. The inhabitants are all bloodthirsty killers, thieves, and criminals. A self proclaimed “Ranked 1″ is respectively the “king” of the desert, and challengers rise to overthrow him/her. Currently the “king” has gathered several subordinates and encourages them to fight amongst themselves and even challenge him if they see fit to put up a good fight.

This is the basis of the very beginning. Hopefully it will get some people thinking.

A lot of rumors have been going around… and by rumors I mean nothing has been going around… absotively nothing…

On a brighter note, I’ve started working on something, and you’ll never guess what it is!

>.>

I’ve been doing about three or four pages daily and will have to ink all of them yet… but the first episode should be up hopefully in another week or so, and after that I’ll pump them out as quickly as I can… I hope everyone enjoys.
