Ladybirds

When we visited Kingston Lacey a while back we found so many odd things that just had to end up in the wychwolf story. In this case the gardens of Kingston Lacey really do have obelisks and such like scattered around them. We found a sacrophagus and it was covered in ladybirds. I’ll see if [...]

here are some of the photos of the sarcophagus in the gardens at Kingston Lacey, though it doesn’t show off the carpet of ladybirds…

I listened to a podcast with John Allison who creates “Bad Machinery” talking to Dan Berry this morning as I walked the dog across the frosty fields. It was strangely depressing for me, as John is very forthright, and honest in criticising the UK Web-comic community, for it’s lack of professionalism, and the inability of the artists to sell stuff. Having been on the table next to John at the last UK webcomix thing I understand what he is talking about, and feel I am definitely in the poor performing camp. But what do I do about it? Do I knuckle down and pull out the stops and only produce the very best work I can? Or do I give up? I’m not sure. I’ve enjoyed learning in public, whilst working on the Wychwolf story, but sometimes it really is a lot of old bother.

Apologies

Second week in a row that I won’t be updating. I’m working hard on an online conference. Normal service will be resumed next week.

Uh oh

Zombies again

The 24HCD 2012 story I did with Gerald and Brian is now in the iBooks store for free.
Having a whole story to test out the new ibooks author tool, and submission process is really useful. I have a Children’s story book that I’ve been working on for ages… and I understand the ibooks process reasonably well now.

I did have an idea that I’d bundle all of the first arc of the story into am ibook, but it’s a fair bit of effort, and there are MANY pages in Wychwolf1 that need reworking…

I’m surprised I managed to get Monday’s page done today. I meant to prep it during the week, as I knew I’d be busy with 24HCD on Saturday, but it didn’t happen.
So this week you get 25 pages of Wychwolf stuff.
The 24HCD story is wrapped up as a .pdf and linked in the blog post below.
I’ll probably make a cleaned up version at some point, as you have to let some things slip when rushing out 24 pages in 24 hours.
The star of the show for those interested in Arty stuff was the Micron 0.8 pigment liner. I had a slight hiccup with it where it seemed to lift when erasing, but a switch to copier paper seemed to do the trick.
That’s me done for a week.
Hope tou enjoy the 24HCD thing.

#24HCD 2012 -Wychwolf-The Last Dragon

admin — Sun, 21 Oct 2012 12:37:21 +0000

I managed to rattle off a Wychwolf tale for the 24 Hour Comics Day challenge. The task is surprisingly tough, with time being eaten up by all manner of nonsense, changing brushes, picking the wrong brush, undoing and picking the right brush seemed to be a particular favourite of mine. I must refine my brush palette.
Anyway, job done. The Comic is available in .pdf here: http://www.wychwolf.com/24HCD2012-the_Last_Dragon.pdf
I’ll probably tweak some of the rough edges at some point and post a more polished version.

out of the frying pan…

Uh oh, interlude is over, and we are back in train, except that next Saturday is 24HR comic day and that means I’m going to be pretty strung out.
Last year I succeeded in creating an A-Z comic in the 24 Hours, though it was probably more like a Children’s book, than a true comic.
This year I hope to do a Wychwolf related story, though obviously its against the spirit of the challenge anything beforehand. However I do like the idea of doing something simple, like some of the self contained Hellboy comics that offer little explanation or preamble, and usually end up with some big punchy fight.
Guess you’ll have to wait till next week to find out.
In theory if I do 24Hrs from Saturday morning through to Sunday morning, I should have something I can post to the Wychwolf site on Monday (I usually use http://www.strangebiros.co.uk for the 24HCD challenge)
