hlavco: Potstickers. (mario: Let this awesome hourly comicking herald devo-revo'ing!)
-
Whoa! Awesome! Pando is my neighbor...only 2 hours south. Thanks, DI. ...field trip!
-
I like it, Mario. The faster, looser style works. ...and I'm of the camp that the | eyes work just as well if not better than the ( 0) eyes, particularly with this style. They seem a better fit. The tricky part is working out how you want to draw shut eyes, or heavily-lidded eyes, or squinty from an onion smell eyes, etc.…
-
Awesome. Knit and prevail, Stef.
-
I was out all day, so I didn't have a chance to post until now. It was fun, but very much the ball and chain.
-
Marleigh and Matthias covered their eyes through much of Pan's Labyrinth. (Perhaps there is something wrong with me for not so much as flinching?) And it was only two hours. I can't count. Anticlimactic resolution! Thanks, Stef 'n' Mario for organizin' this!
-
Even tinier writing! Matthias is a super-awesome GH2 player, but the "tournament" at the GameStop was a ...you play on your own, we'll write down the score deal, in which they set it up on a PS2 with no real speakers in a cramped corner of the store, next to a Wii on full volume with it's elevator muzak. They sucked all…

I'm totally down with the Hourly Comics SaturDay. I brought my sketchbook to work today, but when you're in four consecutive hours of three-person meetings from the moment you walk in the door, you can't really doodle other people, and it would make for bo-RING comics. Saturday! (Look forward to reading everyone's...!)

Where did you acquire a new pen? (Did you buy a full-price replacement?) If this was on a previous thread, apologies in advance; I've goten a little behind on checking OB. (I'm in exactly the same boat...lost the pen to the graphire I've had for six years. It's depressing.)

Nickelodeon + Pen Ward + ...squalling Unicorns? To the max? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlS15vuFUL8&eurl=

On that theme, and also cool: http://g-speak.com/press/cbs-gspeak-23aug2005.mov

Please count me in.

Carson van Osten's "The Comic Strip Artist's Kit," an awesome little 7-page pamphlet that pointed out classic pitfalls in perspective, character design, etc. to greenhorn Disney comics artists. http://sevencamels.blogspot.com/2006/09/comic-strip-artists-kit-redux.html

Paul gave me the title "The Sad Truth." I wanted to do something with Jack Bauer Sunglasses not making you as invulnerable as Jack Bauer (just think! Eddie Bauer's little brother, TORTUREMAN HIMSELF!), but I didn't have time. So I did something about the funny pages! ...can you guess what the small print says?
-
Stink? What is stink? Stink is making your photo look like Abe Lincoln, Jr., Amish Man-About-Town. All on one page, too. Original photo, which is le swank (the cat totally makes it, Mario): Oh so sleeeeepy. Bed!
-
I envy Paul and Mario and their precioussssss Wacoms. Old-school pen and paper represent! #1 - photo ref: #2 - quanto comic: I just really didn't feel like drawing a greenhouse in three panels, winning caucuses, on the road to the presidency. #3 - sketches of emotions I erased the full body one, then looked at the clock to…
-
Character study Pick 2-3 emotions from a list (will post later) and draw one in body language and two in facial expression, using your character.
-
Quanto comic Stolen from McCloud, who stole it from one of the Dewans: Take 20 minutes to draw a 3+ panel comic based on a title or subject given to you by the other person.
-
Sketch from photo Take 20 minutes to draw, as best you can, a photo sent to you by the other person.
-
Take a short passage from a famous book (or mainstream comic, or even one of your own creations) and redraw it each month, trying to refine it. It could turn out very exercises in style...or it could turn out more like Michael Chabon's purported method of writing [need to find a link, but he writes one sentence, then…
-
-
Take a cue from Brain Age and pick 5 simple everyday things to draw in 15 minutes, and then draw these same things every week or month and see if we get faster/better. Items wouldn't even have to be the same per person. Items could also have different material criteria, e.g., one fabric, one rock, one shiny plastic,…
-
The idea for the comics workout is to draw more regularly in the same way that a physical exercise workout gets you to run/lift/etc. more regularly--by making it a social activity. That said, here are the goals of Comics Workout: 1. No guilt. (The best workout groups have an eye on the long-term prize. If you miss a day…

Awesome! What are you coding it in?
-
Happy birthday, Mario!
-
Aw, shucks. Thanks guys! Those are some truly choice birthday images!! (And yes, Hamelin, I have a photo of a similar sign I've seen with mine own eyes in Florida.)
-
Yes, Serephel, if your name is Will Wright you get to make creative games. Or if it's Doug Church. Or Chris Delay. There are innovative developers out there. But if you're working for a big name company, you essentially have to establish yourself before they let you take risks. They're businesses, after all. Not saying…
-
I think this is an issue that, among this crowd (intelligent, creative, quirky people who value innovation over more-amazingly-rendered gore), will only get one response. And that's not even getting into the uncanny valley argument or anything. Next issue, please!

Procrastination can possibly be good for you. A solution might be to invent another project even more boring and more important than the short paper and you will find your productivity on all other things increasing naturally. Or look at some of these links. (And NOT THESE LINKS.) jason erstwhile procrastinologist

JC!, I am here; I just downloaded your thesis (thanks!); it's been a busy few weeks in real life; and yes, let's talk, dude. I'll PM you my contact info if you don't have it. And...wow, Rice University! I didn't realize you were there. Dan Sandler (also of DS guest strippery) is a CS PhD student there, too. I applied to…
