News/Blog, Thompson: September 3rd, 2008So…I’ve got some kinda big news. I’ve finally settled on a workflow for inking and have a better idea of how long it’ll take me to do a given page. The steps now go rough -> bluelines -> print -> ink with pens in traditional “analog” style -> scan -> clean up scan -> import […]
News/Blog, Thompson: September 10th, 2008Comic will update tomorrow evening. I’m having a week from hell and I need to take the night off. Apologies all ’round, everybody….

Hart, News/Blog: September 10th, 2008A couple of things, first off, the update will be delayed shortly. The crazy weather is giving our lovely artist migraines and he can’t see to ink. Once his eyesight is not longer pounding with the beat of a thousand torturous drums, he’ll get the update right up.
You might be wondering where I have been, […]
News/Blog, Thompson: September 11th, 2008Wow. Seven years. If you haven’t already, it’s not too late…take a moment to think about the many people who died…not in the abstract sense.
Try, one face at a time, to imagine two thousand, seven hundred, and forty-nine faces. That’s the number of death certificates filed for those who died in the towers.
Start small if […]
News/Blog, Thompson: September 17th, 2008A couple of notes and things. First, I’m continuing to refine my inking methods. If you like what you see go over to the Contact page on the main site and drop me a line saying so! Tonight’s update will be up in a few hours. Tonight’s update is up. I’m happier with the linework […]
News/Blog, Thompson: September 25th, 2008I’ve hit my stride in the workflow. I really want to get a set of good Japanese dip pens (the G and Maru pens, in particular) for inking, and try them out. Right now I’m inking with Micron Pigma .005 and .01 black felt-tip pens from Sakura. They’re a great disposable felt-tip for inking, especially […]
News/Blog, Thompson: October 1st, 2008Hey, all.
This week’s update is the final pencils, but hasn’t been inked or toned - I’ve been running on five hours of sleep a night and working constantly for the last two weeks to prep for Archon in Collinsville this weekend. I’ve got one last painting I’m trying to finish at (literally) the eleventh hour […]
News/Blog, Thompson: October 15th, 2008Or at least, me. I just finished watching the Presidential Debate Mark III (2008), and found it to be much more stimulating than previous installments.
However, it’s had one very negative effect…I won’t be updating tonight. ^_^ My bad. I had hoped to have the energy to wrap up tonight’s comic after the debate, but I’ve […]
News/Blog, Thompson: October 29th, 2008Hey, everybody. This week’s update is inked, but I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself if I didn’t at least try to get it toned as well - the backgrounds really need tones to look their best. Update will be up Thursday night this week, unless I’m at work until midnight (which could easily happen […]
News/Blog, Thompson: November 5th, 2008Good morning everybody. I just wanted to pass along what’s been going on with me this week. I worked late last Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, and spent the day at work both Saturday and Sunday. Then I went in to work Monday morning…and left Tuesday at 4:30. Yes, that’s right…I put in 30 hours (plus […]
