2007, Nov 24

This is my first comic with a graphics tablet. Sure the original sketches are still done with pencil, but I did most of the other steps entirely with the tablet. It took some getting used to, but it made a clear improvement to some of the processes I use for my comic. Hopefully, now that I'm past the learning curve, the next one will be quicker.

I clearly need more screenshots as I had to scrape for this one. When I activate my account for Christmas (god! Has it been a year already?), I'll have to focus on taking as many as I can.

Fun Facts

• Big Apple is a character I promised to use in my comic since my third comic. A forum friend really helped me out with some screenshots so I was going to use his "Big Apple" character in a comic that I'd already planned. The problem was that, other than a brief, boring cameo in comic 3, it took over a year to get to the end of the story (sorry Lord X!)
• The reference to Lemons and Carrots is another in-joke with my forum friends (Das Carrot and Evil Lemons are two other members of our forum). I plan to add a panel to this comic eventually once I get a screen capture of their characters to do so (2007.12.09 – DONE!).

You’ve got a cute art style, great characterizations and I like how you include the peculiarities of CoX gaming and MMO gaming in general in them. Looking forward to more, great work! Reply
