HOLY CRAP! I’m switching over to www.noonebelievesinmonsters.com! My own true website! I think I’m serious about this that it’s worth it. So that’s where the comic will be from now on. I’ve moved the archives over there already, although I am seriously lacking in commentary at my new place, so fill ‘er up!
Love, Danny
Wheeee new comic. Trying out some new stuff, which I think worked really well. Now drawing on 9″x12″ bristol board with a blue pencil, then inking over. I think it looks a lot cleaner, and lets me edit a lot better without having to go and erase all the leftover pencil in Photoshop.
Anyway, it’s been a little while since we checked in on these guys. Looks like things for the mad scientists are not quite as neat as it seemed…
The best of friends!
So, I watched a few video blogs that Edward Wright has put up from the making of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, and I’m very excited now. I need to reread those. They’re a ton of fun, and Bryan Lee O’Malley’s art style is really great, not to mention how awesome it is watching hapless Scott taking on Ramona’s Seven Evil Exes. Definitely check it out.
Done! Sorry for the lateness, yesterday was busy! But since that included finally getting my hands on a copy of Wilco: The Album, I think I’ll forgive myself.
Wilco will love you, baby.
Enjoy! Happy Halloween!
So, starting to get into the meat of this comic. I’m so pleased. I even feel like my drawing is starting to pick up already, considering this is the most frequently I’ve done something other than doodling in the margins of notebooks during class. I did feel like saying, though, that this is something that I am having a great time with, and it all comes down to deciding one day to make a comic. Because, here in the internet age, what’s stopping you?
I was reading an excellent comic the other day, World of Hurt (check it out. it’s a blaxploitation comic! it’s amazing!), and all of a sudden I noticed that in one of his comments, Jay Potts attributes his inspiration for starting his own comic to the equally awesome Karl Kerschl. Forgive me for not knowing exactly how he put it, but somewhere out there in the internet Karl Kerschl basically says the same thing: just do it, because there’s no reason not to and you will never be as ready as you want to be. It’s really nice knowing that someone who’s work I really enjoy and have drawn some inspiration from put my feelings in so many words.
So, in conclusion, thanks to everyone who’s been checking out Monsters, and go out and look at some of this other stuff too! There’s so much great work going on in comics, especially webcomics these days. It’s a pleasure to be working in this medium.
He can see him! WOOHOO!
Oh, and before anyone asks, I hate that show.
I’ve been waiting for this comic for at least two strips now. Now we’re getting somewhere!
Two (three) things on my mind right now: Yankee Hotel Foxtrot – amazing album. Really brilliant. Encapsulated this past summer for me. Following that, New Orleans. I will move there sometime in the next year. Also, the Classics Illustrated comic adaptation of Samuel Coleridge’s Rime of the Ancient Mariner. I forgot that I had this, and just found it. I think my parents gave it to me when I was a lot younger, before I was bit by the comics bug. Still, amazing. Done by Dean Motter. I wonder if he’s done anything else…this is really good.
(Ashes of American Flags – Wilco)
Comic! I swear I came up with the title before I saw the movie.
So, one last change. I’m going to switch the schedule once again to TUESDAY and THURSDAY. This works better for me, I guess. Hopefully I won’t be feeling so bad about being late again. But…it’s also my comic. So there!
…new comic up soon.
