I got a new drawing program for my fancy computer and thought I would try it out. I am really liking it thus far… what do you think?

Comic Blog Strip #64

Many of you might not know the person Backslash is based on, it is a good friend of mine who I have lived with, worked with and had many fun adventures with. Through our friendship a playful rivalry came up possibly from us looking something alike and both wanting to establish ourselves as “the better one!” called “the twins” “good and evil” “the boys” by friends its clear to see we sometimes strived to define ourselves based on a superiority to the other. To that end something like what happened in this comic is not far from reality at all! My friend and I would prank each other on a regular basis and each one would lead to a bigger retaliation. It was great to bring it out in the characters based on us!

As for the art itself, I really had fun with this, I liked having full backgrounds, I loved the slow fade up as Backslash regains conciseness, and I really loved the flashback going to a black and white manga style. it was start to finish fun! This also marks my first 9 panel comic! Okay so some would say a black frame isn’t art… (me about ten comics ago.) so even then its still 8 panels and thats not to bad! I am a fan of this and I know no one else would catch this but Doug reading is my tip of the hat to Danger Mouse, my favorite cartoon as a wee little Doug, when ever he would drive or read or pilot his ship, to save on animation costs no doubt, his mouth would be covered so it was partial nose and eyes. So glad I got to add that in!

Also….. I loved drawing the past Backslash and Doug! hehe

Its easy to get caught up in a movie, … its far easier for Doug!

So like most of America, I have seen and enjoyed Avatar by James Cameron. I have to say, despite I thought the plot was pretty easy to read, I really enjoyed the movie. the characters though predictable, remained true to the intentions they needed to have. And… COME ON, that was one of the most visually stunning pieces of movie making I have ever seen! Now if you will excuse me I have a shipment of blue body paint and arrows to sign for!

Draw a Dino day

So a week ago we participated in national “Draw a Dino Day” and Doug contributed with the fantastic character pictured. Draw a Dino day is the brain child of Todd Page and he has been running it for 3 years now. The concept is simple enough, draw a dinosaur; …. that’s it… draw a dino and send it along to him to be posted in his page and flickr. So who could pass up that much fun? So this fancy little creature was born as the Dogtoon Media entry in the 3rd annual Draw A Dino holiday extravaganza! Upon his creation, he was named.. but for the life of us we cant remember what it was so if you have any good names for this little guy hit me with them, best name wins and he might make an appearance in the comic!

you can see all the entries at Todd’s Page
