Something for the Weekend...

What a lovely weekend we are having here... Drizzle has to be the best of all the weather. Glorious sunshine can only make you so happy - drizzle actually continues to make you feel worse and worse, until you finally snap. And move to Spain. Times like these were made for long blog posts about 'feelings' and 'thoughts'...

Okay, so here goes; doing a comic every week is all fun and good, but sometimes I like to (and even sometimes, would rather) just play around with the characters - draw them in different way's, different poses etc. Not being a full-on art student, I don't devote my time to practising still life, so, a result of that is that I kinda suck at drawing characters 'doing things' ("ahh, so that's why you copy-and-paste the characters most weeks John!").

Now, don't fret - I will not subject you to a barrage of sketches of Will and Jay in provocative nude still life poses (email me for requests...) but, what I will give you, is the following...

First up - Here is Jay, randomly finding the Tri-Force in a chest (we've all been there):


Next, here's Scarlet (appropriately physically augmented) doing her thing; raiding tombs:


And finally, we have our resident plumber - Will - frantically blasting his way through World 1-1, only to find that the bloody princess is in another Castle. Bitch.



So, basically, that's the summary of a day's worth of work, split across the weekend. If the comic is late tomorrow, then make do with these, and we'll try to get the comic to you as soon as possible (don't blame Terry!)

((Well... You can blame him a little bit, if you want...))

(((Actually, I've just remembered - this is all his fault...)))

I'm considering making these 3 scenes into desktop wallpaper as well. For some reason - possibly age - I have a strong urge- nay, desire - to make everything I do into wallpaper. Even this blog post will be captured, the lighting balanced and then placed appropriately on a 1680x1050 canvas...
