New Cover Artwork Preview
Here's a sneak peek at the new artwork for the new Dark Horse volume!I wanted something that evoked the original cover artwork, but a little more interesting. there's going to be a soft cover version that uses the full image, but the hard cover will look more like the original hard cover edition, with a cropped image in the middle.
Willie and Kat, still the same
Here are some more updated pages. The changes are still pretty small, because I'm not looking to change the style of the comic. Even though Kat and Willie both look pretty different from their current appearance in the story, Annie is the one I felt needed most work in the early pages. The new volume is close to finished, and I’m looking forward to showing more in the coming weeks and months!
Move it, Football Head!
Can you see the difference?Most of the early changes I'm making are fixing the way I drew Annie. I had a vision in mind of drawing a kind of abstract character, like something I'd see in Dexters Lab, Powerpuff Girls, and other cartoons I loved at the time. The problem was, I wasn't really experienced in drawing like that!Hopefully this first page of the comic shows the difference a few lines can make. Annie is still the same character, and despite her cranium being a little more regu...
Gunnerkrigg at Dark Horse!
I can finally talk about the fact that the early volumes of Gunnerkrigg are going to be printed by Dark Horse! Those that saw the announcement might have also seen that it mentioned something about "newly updated art" and had some questions about that.I took this opportunity to go back to the beginning of the comic and fix up a few things that I felt were a barrier for entry for new readers. Back when I started I had a vision in mind that I just was not able to achieve given my skill lev...
Chapter 79: Find Yourself.
This is a longer than usual video in which I talk about some of the issues I had with the comic over the past few months.
Chapter 75: She Gave Us An Ocean
It's been a while! But we're getting back to the vids and getting caught up.
Zim Grim
Psst, here's an early notification for my wonderful readers on Patreon!I'll be mentioning the availability of the comic in tomorrow's update, but I thought it wuld be nice to mention it here first.Read Zim Grim now
Mort And Go Seek!
Here's a silly little game I made in my spare time. I wanted to make something very simple from start to finish, without letting the scope get out of hand, and here's the result!You can play it right in the browser, no downloading required and it doesn't take long to finish.
Chapter 69: Loup's Trick
We'll be getting back to the latest batch of video retrospectives a little earlier than I thought! This is the beginning of what will be Book 8: Catalysis. We're pretty close to being all caught up!
COYOTE!
I put the comic on gunnerkrigg.com just last week but I thought it would be fun to do a video for it too! I'm considering starting up the next round of retrospective chapter videos too.
Annie In The Forest Part 1
Now let's do the side stories!
Chapter 68: Neither
Since this is the last chapter of Volume 7, I feel like it's a good place to take a break from the retrospective videos for now!However, I'd still like to do something extra, so if there is any interest I could maybe look back at the side comics like Annie In the Forest or Traveller.
