[Comic 261] Who’d have sonic when you can have Laser

Outlandish — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 08:00:00 +0000

Well, after a long absence I finally finished this page. A friend of mine had said that Gilrec should have some kind of cool weapon. But I wasn’t sure about actually giving him a gun or anything. At least not in this version of TFR. So I thought what better than to give a little [...]

Gilrec Again

Outlandish — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 08:00:00 +0000

Well I fixed the forearms and hands, sort of, and reposed him. And…I figured out a way to import the image into Flash then into Photoshop and quickly did some fancy coloring effects. This opens up a new line of thought. I really enjoy drawing and working in Toon Boom. It totally beats the pants [...]

Gilrec Test

Outlandish — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 08:00:00 +0000

I’ve been playing around with an animation program called Toon Boom and I wanted to see if I could use it for comics. Unfortunately, while it’s great for animation, it’s not so good for exporting a graphic at a large enough size for print. But it might work well for limited animation or for use [...]

Captain Raquel “Rockie” Bedlam

Outlandish — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 08:00:00 +0000

Hey, all. Right now I’m working on a small freeware game starring Captain Raquel “Rockie” Bedlam, and no it’s not as serious as it looks. With a name like Rockie Bedlam you know you’re going to be in for some nonsense and parody, like rogue GSAP simuloids (Genuine Simulated Artist Protobot). And what robotic artist [...]

Just so you know I’m Still Going

Outlandish — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 08:00:00 +0000

I posted some screenshots in a gallery today. But I thought I’d use the comic view to show the test game I’ve been working on. The character was just thrown together in Daz3 Advanced and the backgrounds were stuff I’d bought a while back, but I’d say they came out pretty impressive. One thing about [...]

[Comic 258] To the Meanest Intelligence

Outlandish — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 08:00:00 +0000

After a necessary hiatus due to life being extremely busy, here is the next comic. I decided to go with a simple toning and shading on this one. It’s a step better than straight black and white line art at least. But I’m still really limited right now in how much time and energy I [...]

[Comic 257] It’s a What?!

Outlandish — Wed, 20 May 2009 08:00:00 +0000

Flash was just proving to cumbersome to mess with so I decided to do the comic in Manga Studio for inking, which saved a lot of time. More importantly, it allowed me to really play with the expressions and such and get them just right. Not worrying about color just saves so much time and [...]

[Comic 256] Dandelions

Outlandish — Fri, 15 May 2009 08:00:00 +0000

Had a hard time getting this one done, it’s been such a busy week and I’m pretty tired. But it’s done on time. yay. Still not happy with how I’m doing it, but oh well. I really would have liked to do a background, but I was doing good to get this far, so please [...]

[Comic 255] Just Dying to Know

[Comic 254] Center of the Empire

Outlandish — Fri, 08 May 2009 08:00:00 +0000

And we’re left hanging for a bit, and back with Gilrec and the infamous artifact. There was originally a lot more to this page, but I didn’t have time to do it all in one so I broke it into two and added the backstory to the Terran Empire and their first Emperor, Buford I [...]
