I Downloaded Minecraft Pocket Edition on My Android and…

May 28, 2015 in MY WEB COMIC

MY WEB COMIC – I Downloaded Minecraft Pocket Edition on My Android and…

My kids are into both Minecraft Pocket and Terreria.

Both of these games are what I would call, creative survival sandbox games. You’re placed in a world you have a lot of options to create and mess around with your environment. But the world is very dangerous so you have to make sure you can survive in order to keep playing.

The creative stuff didn’t really appeal to me.  I can do that just by drawing and making comics.  But the survival stuff looked like fun. It gave the creative stuff a useful purpose.

I hadn’t realized that’s what these games were about until I watched a video of a guy learning to play and dramatically trying to survive playing Minecraft Pocket edition.  It looked like fun so I decided to check it out myself.

This is how it went:

playing minecraft can be addicting

 

The game is VERY addictive.  I had a similar “one more turn,” kind of experience that I only get from playing Sid Meier Civilization games. At the same time, it’s as chaotic and open ended as a Rogue like game. And you know how I feel about those.

I found I can’t play the game any day I need to get work done or it won’t get anything done.

Here’s the video that I watched that got me interested:

Draw Over Videos

May 21, 2015 in ART

Art – Draw Over Videos

I’ve been doing a lot of drawing lately. None of which I simply post here.

Not because it’s work related but because I’ve making artwork for my next Draw Fu post. I can’t show that art until I’m done with the post.

Also, I’ve been doing a lot of “draw over” videos.  These videos were done for the winners of my Patreon giveaway last Month.

The winners could send me up to 3 drawings, and I would draw over their work, giving them tips and advice to improve them.

This took a lot of my drawing time away, so I wasn’t able to post any new drawings this week.

HOWEVER,  web cartoonist George Ward graciously allowed me to post them online.  They’re all over an hour long.  AND they’re only available to my patrons on Patreon.

Yeah, I know, that totally sucks, BUT they’re available to ALL patrons, at ANY level. Which means, if you pledge a buck, you can see the videos.

You’d also be supporting me and my work, which means more fun stuff for you.  So if you want access to these cool videos it’s as easy as becoming my patron.

Thank you so much for your support.

Took My Sons To See Avengers: Age of Ultron BUT…

May 14, 2015 in MY WEB COMIC

MY WEB COMIC – Took My Sons To See Avengers: Age of Ultron BUT…

My wife and I couldn’t find baby sitting to go see Avengers: Age of Ultron together. We decided instead to go separately and decided that it would be fun to take some of our kids with us.

I decided to take my oldest boys…

Watching Age of Ultron

 

My wife went with my daughter and they both really liked the movie.

MY WEB COMIC – So I Totally Forgot To Pick Up My Kids From Class And…

Okay, so this happened…

Getting the kids_001

 

Getting the kids_002

 

 

The stomping didn’t really happen, nor did he say all those mean things, but this is what it felt like.

Getting the kids_003

This was the first comic I’ve ever done started and completed using Manga Studio EX 5.

I’m very happy with the way it all worked out. Very handy program.
