37 – Experiment 1 || Directorate

[J][041230]

Don’t email me to tell me that there’s a plot discrepancy, because I’m going to deal with it. Soon. I hope.

[D][041230]

The comic is delayed. It is unfortunate. I did a reformat on the comp and forgot to save the text, so even though I have truckloads of drawings done ahead of time, I can’t do anything about the comic itself. Wow, what competent planning.

So to kick off the New Year, and to give you some reading material whilst I wait for J to check his Email, get pissed, and then Email (Or not email) me the Wild Words font, I’ll briefly go over the not so complicated history of NWars.

You know, the concept is only about 6 months old. And I’m already messing with the original idea. Way back while I was still doing Starcrossed in March or April, J-san was doing his original manga series, CRN (Crummy Radio News) he tried to do a storyline about one radio station duking it out with another radio station. Random enough. Then he got to the point where we couldn’t take that storyline anywhere (Sheesh, it was only like 7 pages), and dumped it. Go J.

I’m not quite sure if this is what prompted him to come up with the NWars concept, but a couple days (Or weeks, I don’t remember how long between events) later he came up with a doodling of the original NWars logo, and some random doodles. The point, he said, of NWars, was to not have to do a storyline, and to make more random, funnier comics (Now you can see how I am deviating from this concept). Thus NWars was born. I don’t have the original logo or any of the doodles, but here’s an early NWars which hasn’t been posted yet [100522: Dead link]. And of course, I was busy with Starcrossed and all, but what the heck, I did a single NWars during those months. As you can see, D-san doesn’t look like D-san, and J-san doesn’t look like J-san.

That was the beginning.

Then there was that webcomic issue. Not sure who came up with this one, but the idea stuck. So of course, I drafted a site (That was the original version, with it’s billions and billions of little pictures). The first draft of NWars, if anyone bothered to see it. (Beware of my cussing whilst I was talking to myself. It was late, and I was tired).

Then came the concept drawings. OH BOY! Wow has there been a style change. The style at the time was that of Reflection, an awkward 5 head high figure with EXTREMELY pointy chins, cheeks, and narrow eyes. Man, was it terrible. So of course, going into NWars, I figure I better change that.

The absolute first drafts of D-san.

The absolute first drafts of J-san.

The absolute first draft of Mad Scientist J-san.

And, a bit later, the first drafts of CHOBIT 1, who still doesn’t have a name… I’m still thinking ‘Chikara’.

And the viewers know what happened from then. We got the site running on Sept 1st, though there was that filler for so many weeks before. It went from 0 viewers a day to about 30 viewers per day now, and some big 166 record somewhere in there. This stupid site has been changed three times now, and I’m fed up with the four panel format, but whatever. It’s getting along.

36 – D Parody! || Iyama Corp

J’s parody picture hates me. I deleted it twice in a row. TWICE IN A FACKING ROW. At least I got the picture back up, if not the rant.

[D][041227]

Now, there will be an NWars documentary as a random rambling when I get back, and have access to my old logs. I’ll get to it, specially since there wasn’t anything on Christmas.

New banner!

34 – Irrelevant Webcomic || New Book

[J][041221]

Erg. Not having comics sucks. Very bad. This comic was supposed to run earlier, but I had to go somewhere. Hence the filler.

Apologies to David Morgan-Mar for today’s comic.

This is a photo of the new Alpha Team ‘Ice Blade’ from Lego. I got it 50% off at thr Toys R Us in Hong Kong. Yay. Go Christmas.

From the title, you can obviously tell today’s random rambling is really going to be a random rambling. I mean, once in a blue moon I actually get a bit rant-y, but not today. It’s vacation, and there isn’t anything to rant about. Except maybe J-san’s continuing inability to get comics in on time…

Check the gallery update box. I finally got off my lazy butt and put some dumpbox pictures there. There’d be more if I had a flatbed scanner in Hong Kong, but I don’t… Maybe I try using the ole’ digi cam.

Anyways, I bought a thing of those good pigmint ink pens, and attempted to try inking stuff. Like what J used to do, the pencil, then the ink, etc. If you do the pencil really light, and use the pen like a brush, it turns out pretty good. If I could learn to tone, I think we’d be seeing more NWars in pen…

Oh, I tried a pen/colored pencil experiment. It blew. Here in Hong Kong the standard thing of electricity coming out of the outlet is 260v AC. And they use these stupid British plugs. We’re out of adapters. It blows. (BTW, in the words of Mike Spirtos: “You suck”… “You swallow”…)

Anyways, that was so not PG 13. I played Yugioh with my brother. I have a 1:15 loss ratio…

Alright, I’ll have some more gallery updates when I get my flatbed back.

DONE. That’s what I have to say to school. DONE. That’s what I’ve been wanting to say all week. AND now I can say it with the knowledge that I AM DONE. TAKE THAT FREAKING SCHOOL!!! TAKE THAT!!!

Well, I’ve been slowly easing back into drawing comics. It’s amazing how out of it I am, having not drawn anything for the past two weeks. More rantage tommorrow, right now, I laugh at Justin, who has missed three updates, to my none.
