The Comics Cometh

December 31, 2004

Ashes to ashes... This site has unfortunatley been declared dead... It will not be updated ever again, besides maybe now. It all came as too much for me. But I am trying to re-establish the routine, and so I am creating a new site for the new year. visit www.freewebs.com/darkstarnet its all together less confusing. Trust me. Only my best work will go in... As I look at some things on this site, and the quality is... Well, you know what I mean. So, it was fun while it lasted, but this site is now closed. It will remain online for archive purposes but this is the last update.

So, this is CC signing off for the last time. Now get outta here before I get all emotional... :P

September 09, 2004

Hello people. I know it has been an awfully long time since I updated the site but getting back to coursework has really floored me. I havn't even been back to check up the site recently. As proof, I havn't got to play Morrowind all week. Thats how busy I am. But I am going to get myself back on track this week. For anyone who does actually come back here on a regular basis I'd like to give you a huge thankyou. I'm also very sorry for not keeping this place updated. But monday should see a new comic, weather I like it or not. Hope you all come back then.

August 23, 2004

Its done! At long last. Lookin good too. AND its 25mins within the deadline. Woot. THAR SHE BLOWS!!

August 22, 2004

Again... Sorry for the lack of updates. I'm not dead. Just have been busy. The comic looks due for monday on time *GASP!* so check back tommorow. And by my standards, its looking pretty damn cool. (well, for 2 weeks worth you'd bloody well think so... 0_o) but unless something goes terribly wrong (like I need the bathroom or need to sleep or something equally as terrible) I will have the comic posted. WOOT! Even though, currently there is only 1 pic 100% done. Out of 3. Another is like 90% done, the 3rd is like 30% and the last isn't started. But it can be done. And done, it MIGHT be!!!

August 16, 2004

Sorry about the lack of updates people, but I have been holidaying and don't have a laptop. (If you have a laptop which you would like to donate, please contact me at vegetoreturns@hotmail.com) There may or may not be a comic later, either that or tommorow. I may have to skip this week completley, depending on how goes the drawing. Thanks for puttin up with this, and sorry for any fans I don't have.

August 11, 2004

Okay people the hatemail officially stops now, as I have finally uploaded the latest comic. Boo ya. There where a few complications yesterday, but the comics there now. So enjoy! Or at least try.

August 9, 2004

The comic will be late again this week. I'm not really up to it right now. I'm lacking the enthusiasm I had before. Right now it would be nice if someone visiting could maybe give some sort of supportive feedback. Kinda weak post, but its whats going on.

August 7, 2004

Well this week has been eventfull. Yesterday I went to London, capital of Englandshire. It was fairly good, going on the London eye and the trains and stuff. It gave me quite a few ideas, and I never wanted my sketchbook at other times than then. I have mainly been doing general art sketches all this week, and with the comic due in 2 days, I should probably get that started at least :P. I have also been thinking about starting a second webcomic, but I'm going to get this one truly sorted before I do. Which includes easier site navigation and breaking down the misc art section into pages. Stay tuned as I am not dead, as I will be posting things as and when they are finished.

I would also like to make a plea for people owning websites, I am desparate to do some simple networking. I want to link to more sites, and vice versa would be much appreciated. My email address is on the right... Checked daily.

Btw... New pic in misc art section.... check it! Thanks y'all

August 4, 2004

New pic in the misc art section. I've just been round a friends and *tried* to watch a film called ghost in the shell. It was pretty cool but it wasn't really gripping. It did make me think that the person who came up with the most kick ass game "Timesplitters 2" probably got some ideas from this film. I hope they managed to sit through more of it than my friends did...

[EDIT]

New special button to go to the comics done by Mike :P

August 3, 2004

At last, its done. This is why there is no FTF comic this week... It took a fair bit of doing to compile this, and I'm still not done. I haven't even managed to fix a decent button for it yet, but this will have to do... click here for the comics drawn by my pal Mike, a comic master. More caption regarding the comics has been requested but he's currently touring the French countryside... Alright for some, ain't it?

August 3, 2004

I guess I owe the few fans I have an appology for yesterday, but I really wasn't up for the post. Something in my life went wrong and I was upset for a while but anyway, I'm back now. Special thanks to those of you who stayed up late last night checking this site, I'm updating it now. The plan is for today: Posting the non-FTF comic, done by my friend, which is several pages long so I need a while to compile it and find somewhere to put it. By tommorow I had hoped to have a FTF comic up but I think we'll have to bump that back to thursday. If I am able, I will also try to get a comic for monday aswell. Hopefully.

August 2, 2004

I've been through trash today. I don't want to explain it now. Non-FTF comic tommorow morning. Sorry people.

August 1, 2004

I have recieved lots of confused queries as to where my comics actually are. So, to make it clearer still, here is a small map. I hope this helps.

July 31, 2004

proof of work happening. Check the bottom of the misc art section. Thanks!

July 30, 2004

For the most of this week I've been doing random work which I felt like doing. Its still my holiday. I haven't done any work towards the comic yet, oops. I think that I could do more than one comic per week, but its only if I feel like it. When I finish up all of my pictures in the pipeline, I'll get them scanned. But I still want to take the weekend easy. I have just been out for a meal with my family. I got a sketch, and it is only a sketch, nearly finished. I do like it though. It's what I meant by letting things out of my head onto paper. Its an idea for a story I have developing. Its a far future kinda sci fi thing, but its not based around intergalactic war and such. Its actually based around a racing sport, where there are main two components: design and the driver. The craft entering the races must have a simple fuel combustion engine, and glides around the track hovering with a a gravity nulifying system. A bit like F-Zero X on the nintendo really, only I will be designing my own craft, tracks, enviroments and pilots. The story will follow the career of a young man called Xeon, who was noticed by an investor on his fathers farm, riding a cargo craft with obvious skill through the canions of his home planet. Thats Basically the outline... Anyone want to comment, or sujest something?

July 28, 2004

WOOT! At last, I got that damn work done, that I said I needed to do about... *looks...* wait, I swear it was longer than that. But anywayz, its done. I don't need to worry to much about it for a good 4 weeks. As a reward, I'm going down the beach soon with my brand new sketchbook. Ah... Thats a holiday. I might go down much later after coming back too, so that the sun is going down and no-ones there. Thats a lot better. Simple pleasures. I can do some comic work, and possibly just let some random things out of my head and onto paper.

July 27, 2004

Ya know, in Hawaii, it's still technically monday :p Ya I know its a day late, but its not like it isn't done. Scanning and compiling complications... Its getting there. And now I can post the link aswell, thats right, its finally done. So, for more violence, ninjas, and general antics in a trenchcoat, click here.

Also, as an appology for my lateness, heres an important message from my friend Matt (thanks Dave)

July 26, 2004

It may be another close to the wire thing, but the comic is done, and it is kickin ass. Stay tuned.

July 24, 2004

Today my plans are to get things crossed off of my to-do list, and dammit its grown somewhat. I need to get some homework done, because it is meant to be carried out over the holidays... And I am starting it one week in... Oopsie. Oh well... I'm sure I can just make up the first week. The rest, thankfully, can be done as and when. More relevant to the site, I am going to put in some navigational aids to stop people getting lost, as this is something commonplace here which isn't a great thing. So, as well as the drop down menu on the left, there will also be a "Latest" button on the front page, or maybe just have the latest comic placed on the front page. I'll see how well either one works. Something that I have also wanted to have in place for a while is a "first", "previous", "next", and "latest" button on each comic in the archive to make for easy navigation. Then as I work further down the list there is my friends comic which I have been telling myself to do for ages, then theres a link button which I want to develop if I ever get any more links, I am getting bored of the title, and I also want to sort the sidebar. depending on how long each of these take, I will do as much as I can today. Expect major to minor changes over the course of the day.

[Edit]

Well, instead of what I had planned today, I actually did a few things that I still had to do, yet hadn't planned. My mother had a shopping trip planned, so I needed to get some things. I would have stayed put, but it meant that I had a chance to get a proper sketchbook. I managed it, I now have an A4 hardback one. I guess it all works out nicley, as I have my new one for as and when I want to draw, and the little one for when I am in lesson meant to be doing somethinng else. It's very easy to conceal ;). I hope to get all I wanted to do today done tommorow, so again, look out for changes tommorow.

July 23, 2004

I finally managed to get some work done, so mondays comic is now officially under way. I also actually managed to fill in the details for the last comic. Well, whatever details there was. I am a little tired today, as I couldn't sleep last night. There was a huge thunderstorm which went on for hours. It was quite un nerving really. I think lightning hit our house or something along those lines, as I had my eyes shut and there was suddenly light behind them for a second and there was this enourmous boom, it felt like an explosion in my head. The power went out for a second aswell. After it happened I was pretty shaken up, my heart rate was going nuts and I was sitting up in bed with my alarm clock blinking naughts at me. I never experienced anything quite like it. I know it isn't really important, but I thought I would just tell you.

[Edit]

I have been looking around on the web for pictures of the desert eagle pistol, as this is the weapon used by the bouncer of the bar. And you guessed it, a bouncer with a short fuse doesn't have a gun for show. I want to make it look as real as possible, as it is pretty nice looking. If your not entirley sure what I'm talking about, look for pictures of a desert eagle on google or something along those lines. Apparently this weapon is the same thing that the agents in the film The Matrix use. And they, being supreme beings in the matrix are not gonna use anything to shoddy :p. In my storys timeline, it is (as the name may sujest) set in the near future. Advances have been made in technology, but just because they're invented, doesn't mean it's in the average joes' price range. I know that I have kept a lot of details regarding the background of the story under the rug, but after the little prelude fight sequence is finished, I will introduce the characters in the story and the story itself formally. Stay tuned. The latest strip should be on time, provided I have no setbacks.

July 20, 2004

Ya know, for someone who complained about having no free time, I sure have been lazy recently. I just haven't found the motivation I need to get some drawing done. I think its because I find that inspiration when I am meant to be doing something else. That something else is so mind numbingly boring that I just start drawing. For example, I care about my comic a lot more than how much water is in a potato, or how to correctley pronounce the perfect tense in french. In my free time I find it a lot easier to keep myself occupied, and the motivation just goes. I think I also feel a bit lonley in the house all by myself, so I go out and see people. I think I could solve my problem by going out and taking my sketchbook with me. (note: I wanted to break up this paragraph, and I think I managed to pinpoint the exact point of where I start ranting as here.)

I quite like the idea of sitting on the beach with my sketchbook and pencil handy. I was going to do this yesterday, but as with most British summers, the weather was lousy. I could probably keep ranting about that, and list a good 10 things I hate about this two bit country, but I won't. (If someone can guess the book I'm reading recently from the phrase I just used, feel free to email me with your guess ^_^) I did however find one shop which feels very homey, it is packed with all kinds of anime and stuff which I love, and the basement is packed with comics of all kinds. Theres even a Megatokyo book, which was so very annoying to see when I didn't have the money to buy it!!!!! AGH! I must go back at some time. I must buy it before someone else does. www.megatokyo.com has provided me with a lot of inspiration in my own work, and drawing style. As did www.antiheroforhire.com, easily one of the best webcomics online.

July 19, 2004

Well, today hasn't gone great. I've been having trouble with angelfire and my internet connection alike. I will try and get some things done later but as of now I only just sorted it.

I also managed to get out and look around town. I found some new pencils, which is a start. I still need a hardback A4 sketchbook. I know they exsist, I've seen them and I want one. I could have got a big, A4 refill pad, but I didn't really like it. It was not screaming practical at me, which is what I'm after. I want a hardback, which is portable, easy to use and won't get ruined traveling in a book bag. I've been reckomended to to a shop in a nearby town, but I still need to get there. This is my problem. Well, I'll talk to you when I can get some updates.

July 18, 2004

Wow... Yesterday seems so far away. The forecast for monday looks grim... Unless I get a lot of time tommorow, I can't get the comic done. I have an excuse... I am ill. I'm calling a sick day, under the weather, the dreaded lurgy. I will see if I can get another treat for monday done though... I'll let the longer timed readers figure out what I might be talking about. You'll like it. But as for my comic, as penance, I think it would be fair for me to try posting 2 comics this week coming. As for now, I believe I will rest.

Today I have been at my dads, earning real money. Thats right, I have money now. I needed some. I had some the day before, but I was robbed by spiderman and his friend, the one with the hydraulic pooper scoopers. A pretty cool film really, the first was far better, but the second was definatley a great film. Another great movie review from FTF. Today was speant earning the money for things like: (1) a pencil, maybe even 2. (2) a proper sketchbook (3)supplies for school (4) food

So you see, this was quite neccacary. Even if it made me sick. Oh well... Some proper rest might help :P

July 17, 2004

Yo people. I just woke up, and its saturday. No more school! Woot! That means I can no longer use coursework as an excuse for no comic :P. However, I haven't done squat to the comic yet, and if it gets to the stage where I have to do it all monday then I'll just have to skip this week. But, for the next 6 weeks or so, every comic WILL be on time, if not more comics than that. I'm quite proud of the fact that since I started recording, yesterday was the busiest day to date. Woot. 28 whole views. Its small, but then it will someday be just like the greats. It just needs some more time to have the word spread. I'm hoping that someday my site will be popular. That would make me feel so proud, as just getting 28 visits in one day does. Some sites get twice that per second, but y'know...

July 16, 2004

Well, today is the day. The last day of school for a good 6 weeks. Damn, I need it. I don't even know why I'm going in today. I am as sick as a parrot. I may have to skip this weeks comic for that reason, as I feel I have the right to call a sick day or two. I haven't filled in the update since I posted the comic monday, since this week has been the hardest of the year. I'm hoping that after this week, things should all settle down and I'll be able to fall into a solid schedule. Maybe even post two comics a week. In other news, I still have my friends comic lying around someplace, I need to get that posted aswell. I know that people liking my comic will like his better. He's going to make his own site, but untill he gets the hang of it his stuff can call this site home. We've both been giving eachother a hand in making both our comics, and I think that without his input I wouldn't be bothering to do this, so a big thankyou to him. I have returned the favor by venting my extensive knowledge of oldstyle armour, gained through dangerous addiction to RPG's. But anyway... I need to rest up a bit. Talk to you soon.

July 12, 2004

Its done! Dramatic entrance! Seconds to spare! I met the 8pm deadline. It is a little rushed, but that won't happen again. I had to get it done today or it would disrupt things for weeks. So its done. here. I'll fill the details in when I recover.

July 12, 2004

Having reserved all afternoon today for deadline meeting, I can now finally say that the comic is drawn. Thats right, the comic will be ON TIME. So, for all of you visiting just to read my lame excuse for not having it, I say AHA! Not to name any names. My satisfaction lies in AHA!!

July 11, 2004

Ugh... I have no free time... I cannot remember when the last time I just sat at home doing nothing. I remember when I used to do that all the time. Now that never happens. This is whats really agrovating me recently. You'd think that at the end of the year they'd easy up on us but nooooooooooo. We are having the hardest time of our entire school lives, let alone just this year. Because of this, the comic may well be late for monday. However, I don't know how tommorow is going to go. If I am able to get a fair bit done, then I should be able to have it posted just in time. Here's hoping. Later on today, I hope to post up some concept art. This is what I've spent most of my time on, but trust me... This was worth it. Feedback welcome. Speak to you all about the comic situation tommorow. Dammit, I wanted to get my friends comic posted today. Well, if I am left with 5 minutes of my 6 week holiday to do what I want, then I can get round to it. 7 days left...

July 06, 2004

I can't have done that today, can I? Damn, if I can't remember the morning, today must have been a long day... Jeez... Nothing new really, I just dug out something thats been lurking in my file system for about a year now... I got no idea how many compyright laws this infringes, but just to let anyone who cares know that I have made no money out of this, I have no money to sue my ass for, and lets face it, its just a bit of fun. Anywayz... July 06, 2004

It was late in the day when I updated my website last night, and didn't have time to fill in any details about much of anything really, but for once, the comic was ON TIME. Just to let everyone know that the new comic is there and has captions now.

In other news, yesterday I recieved some of the first comic material from a good friend of mine, whos comic will be featured on this site as well! I have kept this kinda hush hush untill now, but there you have it. For the amount he's done, it may take a while to digitalise it all, and I also need to contact him in regards to presentation... When I post my comics, I know they look right. If anything doesn't, I either change it or know that thats the best I'm gonna get. But anyway, times wasting, so I better get on with that caption. Check back soon!

July 05, 2004

It is done... In archives, and here if you like. Enjoy.

July 05, 2004

Well, its monday morning, before a brand new school day. Woot. However today is a completley different story, as our glorious leader has decided to start our next year timetable in the last 2 weeks. What a great idea!!! Instead of giving us a well deserved rest before stepping up a gear, lets wear them out and bleed them dry while they're still tired!!! YEY!!

As you might have figured, the above sarcasm means I am not in the best of moods with our head's kick-them-while-they're-down tactics. While I should be phsycing up for today, in these few minutes I have, I decided instead to do something constructive. Plus the fact that today I have had my daily dose of vitamin www.antiheroforhire.com. I did manage to get some more comic done last night, so I should be on schedule to post up later on today.

The rest of my weekend consisted of coursework, and sitting in front of the tv round my dads, babysitting. However this was a rare opportunity for me to watch satelite tv, so I caught a couple of episodes od DBZ, then just plain old Dragonball, and... Um... other things... Let me just point out to anime fans everywhere not to be fooled by the original interesting looking animation of a show going by the name "Ultimate Muscle". On the first occasion of me watching this show, the main guy was fighting a roadsign. Thinking I would not be quick to judge, I saw another episode, where there was a really strong guy who knew everyones moves. Where have I seen that idea before?? And finally, yesterday, I had absolutley nothing else to do.... So I saw another one, and he was fighting... A toilet. A screwing TOILET. WTF? He got flushed down it, upon re surfacing, he left his trousers down there, choking it. However, thats when the toilet used its secret weapon... THE PLUNGER!!! *Shock...horror...* Not to mention the fighting picture booth that also appeared. So please... If all this sparks your interest, please feel free to go see it. But should this make you confused, and somewhat frightened, you should leave that show alone. WELL alone.

July 02, 2004

Curse you, battleon.com! I don't have 12$ to play during your downtime! Well folks, you know what happens when I get bored and have no working motivation... Thats right, I'm about to update the art section. Nothing much, just some random filter effects. Thought they looked cool. Nor is there anything on the tv, and I don't have sky television. Today was the launch of a new house system at our school. No-one really seems to be to affected, and if they are its dangerously competitive. However there was a few activities which got people going, but I don't know. I guess sociallising in one way for 11 years, then having it changed all of a sudden is kind of hard to accept. (Note: I am not 11, thats how long I have been in school... Well, a ball park of it anyway :p) Oh yes, and we also did a big fundraising thing, where we all had to run a mile or do it as interestingly as possible. Me and my pals decided to push our form tutor's car the whole way... After the feeling of near death went, it was quite refreshing and fun. I guess the fact that its the last year for us makes me want to collect some good memories, and that was definatley one of them. But I won't go into my life story, I have more news on the comic front.

The next comic is well underway, but I find myself very busy this weekend, and the work load I set myself was kind of... Ambitious. However, this does not mean there will not be a comic this monday, as I have had a genius idea. I will split the original comic plan in two, which still makes the twin comics averagley sized because of the original size. Let me just elaborate on how big this is... Right now, the original comic size would be about 25% done with the progress so far. The split comic would mean that the next section is 50% done. I can easily manage a monday post with just that on my plate. As I did originally intend to do the whole thing for monday, I may well be able to get the next section done before the monday after, however I will withhold it untill the next is done, because of this: Imagine, I have mondays comic done and release it. I manage to get the next bit done for wednessday, and release that too. Now I have only 4 days to complete the next one. So unless I get another comic ready for a monday release, I will have to hold back section 2. Well, after the longest post ever, I guess I should go finish making my dinner. Well, I had to do SOMETHING while the chicken cooked.

July 01, 2004

Okay, maybe my email address WASN'T at the bottom of the page :S. But I have now fixed this, there is now a contact link in the navigation panel over there with my email address noted, for all of you who don't use the default mail client.

June 30, 2004

The next comic may be late people, I warn you that NOW. Science lessons is being loosers, setting me coursework after damn coursework, on top of maths, history, french, english, IT, and more than likley a few more on thier way. However, in the face of all adversity, I managed to fix 4 new pictures in the misc art section!! These are some of my favorite pictures, it would be great if you could give me some feed back. Either through my guestbook, or by emailing me (address at bottom of page), whatever floats your boat. Hope you like them!

June 29, 2004

At last... it is here... After all that... Hope you like it... Next comic due monday morning, techincal difficuly/coursework/asteroid allowing.

June 29, 2004

I got the comic through too late last night for me to have been able to cover it. I will have more time later though. Unless something else throws itself in my way (and chances are it can and will), I should have the next comic ready to post later on today, when I get home. I should also be on schedule for the next comic which is due monday. I need to set some time aside to do that, as its a big quota to fill this week... Stay tuned!

June 28, 2004

Okay, I am on schedule, have the comic finished, and am ready to post... But due to technical difficulties beyond my control (as in my bloody scanner going balls up) I cannot post quite so early. I will see if Dave will provide some support in this, and hopefully the comic should be up later. Sorry if anyone actually cares. :p

Technical difficulties continue.... Okay, again, ready to update... And I had hoped to do it now... But I am currently waiting for dave to get back and send me these images. In about half hour I'll get on with trying to fix the scanner. Damn things. The entire worlds worth of scanners seem to have been hit by an epidemic of not workyness. Yes that is a word, look it up and you will explode, so thar. Ha.

June 27, 2004

Hey all... I know, I promised you all a comic for yesterday, and even today there isn't one. I can't lie this time, I was lax. But rest asured, Dave is holding me at gunpoint (*gun clicks*) and I am going to work frantically to finish the comic and post it by tommorow morning. So, the expected time is 8am GMT. It may not be much for the amount of time it took, but its still work. Look back soon ish.

June 25, 2004

This week has been a complete week away from actuall school work in school as the year 7 are at danbury camp. Or where. But, we still had to go in, a complete waste of time. However, it was a welcome break from homework, which means this weekend should at last see the next comic post. Woot. I managed to get a lot done this week, I just have to clean up the last 2 frames, scan, compile, and post. Life is good, huh? Well, I'll talk to you all tommorow, or tonight if I get some more work done today. But I plan to relax later, so possibly not :p.

June 22, 2004

Well, its been an entire month since this site was activated. The time does fly. Considering that theres 2 comics, that means theres been 1 every fortnight.... Even though after the next comic its meant to be weekly. But, conisdering, I don't think I have done all that bad. I just thought I should say something, as the posts are getting fewer and further between, but like I said, this is just a rough patch. I will get the comic deadline to 1 week, soon. Scouts honour.

June 19, 2004

Just to say that the site isn't dead... There is work going on behind the scenes, although it doesn't look like it. Yup, yet again school has barraged me with a ton of homework, and thanks to the fact that I'm alergic to time management, this is causing delays. I aim to get the next one done tommorow... But that depends just how much homework I can get through. We'll see. Stay tuned.

June 16, 2004

YEY!!! The main page is now completley pure html. There is no fancy editor at work here, just me typing, cutting and pasting. I overwrit the old main page, which did not in fact cause the whole system to corrupt, the server to melt and the computer to explode, as I was kinda expecting. So, now, If I had in some meta tags in that submit me to search engines, they should work fine. That, however, is another story. Wheres the latest comic? HOLY DOG TOFFEE, LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU!!! *runs*

June 15, 2004

Hey people... Still no comic. I have had setbacks which are getting on my nerves now. Its getting towards the end of the school year, and they're laying on tests pretty thick recently. That should HOPEFULLY change, so I can get a general schedule going. After the next comic I publish, I'm going to set my self a one week basis, so the comic I publish sets a 1 week deadline for the next 1 to be up. I will try and get the next comic posted around friday, but we'll see what happens. Check back soon for more news.

June 12, 2004

Another 3 poster today, oops. Oh well. Just to let y'all know that the concept art I mentioned has been drawn, scanned, cleaned up on photoshop, then uploaded, embedded, then had added effects, then uploaded and embedded AGAIN. Sorry, just had to let you know that this sort of thing does take time and effort to do. But we reap what we sow, so check it out. Again, another reminder to please please PLEASE sign my guestbook! Thanks peps. ~Comsic~

More new stuff. This post is really just to allow me to preview the new homepage... It will have the same address if and when it works, but for now its just experimentation. See, other angelfire users will know that updating a site with the basic editor removes tags which allow search sites to search you. So, if I want to submit to search sites, I have to convert this site to pure html. I think that I'm good enough at it by now to do that, I just have to work out a few bugs. Well, if ya want, have a look...

NEW STUFF!!! WOOT!!! I just put in a new gear to the site... A feedback section! It was suggested to me a while ago, and after having it playing across my mind for a while I thought what the hec, why not. So here it be! Please, if u like my site, leave feedback (If it actually works. :P) The new artowrk should be done later ish. Don't know what else I'll work through today... I kinda need a break, I mean, this week I've been kinda busy. But as you can see, work is still going on behind the scenes. (Oh, and if your REALLY BORED... lol...)

Today this post comes from my pal perrys house, as he invited me over. May show him some html stuff, if I can actually find the damn place where u put html in on his site, dammit. I have been working on some new concept art, a new idea that I had... He won't be apearing for a while, but I thought I'd get an idea of what he will look like, and so I don't forget :p... I hope to finish and post that later, as for the comics I MIGHT get that done over the weekend, but no promises. I don't have much schoolwork, so I could make a fair bit of progress, but still, stuff comes up... And it can and probably will. I was working well into last night, after playing a few rounds on medal of honour frontline on hard mode, damn is that fun... I did want to play timesplitters 2, but after lending it to my friend Jackson he only gave back the case, and thats all I have... Grrr.... But anywayz, I should get outta here... So look for updates later. ~Cosmic~

June 10, 2004

The tests today went pretty well, all four of them. I'm posting today with nothing to show, because I know I won't be able to get the con art that I wanted done before hand. There have been personal things that came up, which has distracted me. I hope to get some work done overnight, and tommorow. Sorry bout this peps, but I just can't concentrate right now, I'm very worried about a good friend of mine. See when I don't concentrate things go wrong, paper is crumpled, pencils die etc... It should be fine soon... I hope... ~CosmicCastaway~

Well, episode 3 is officially in the pipeline, and I've finished frame 1 of 4. I'd get more done today, but tommorow I have a nice, 2 paper english exam. Then, if I'm REALLY lucky, I'll get to do a french spoken exam aswell! WOOT!.... Yeah. It sucks. So, tonight my doodling time has been consumed by revision. Sorry people. (Just a side note... The hit counter reached 200 today! Woot!)

June 08, 2004

YEY!!! At last, episode 2 is finished. I also added a nice new feature to the site, the drop down menu of comics. That will make the navigation way easier. I'm quite proud of that. It has taken me goodness knows how much time to compile and re arange the site, but dammit its done!! Like I said earlier, episode 3 is in the pipeline, and some new news... A whole different comic, another series, from a new team member here... I may do that at the weekend. I'd get on it A.S.A.P, its just I have so much coursework its stupid. I hope this doesn't mess me up way to much. But for now... I'm finished. Enjoy!

June 08, 2004

Today is the day! I HOPE to have posted episode 2 before today is out, and I also started working on episode 3. Woot. But to work on this site properly the wheels in my head have to be spinning at a certain speed. After a mind numbingly boring lesson of R.E. in blistering heat, they are practically running backwards. However, some alt metal/computergame/sugar therapy should fix that right up. Look for the comic later on today! Not to soon tho ;).

June 07, 04

Okay, no comic today. Episode 2 is finished, its just that yesterday I was interupted, and today I don't have the time. I have been really stressed over some exams I have, and I'm afraid they need to come first. When I get time, I shall compile episode 2. Untill then I leave you with the exciting news that I have seen the latest Harry Potter film. Yeah, I know, this site is turning into more of a movie review site. But anyways... Its a cool film, if a little over priced. I must admit I enjoyed Day After Tommorow more. But I guess thats just because I'm pretty damn Potter savvy, and kept noticing all the things they left out. Non readers would probably enjoy this film more. But anyways!!! I really must leave, as there are several lights at the bottom of the screen blinking, and I can't help but think someone wants my attention. So see ya around... Check back earliest this time tommorow for more news. Peace.

Same date

Well, I decided you all needed a teaser, and proof that I am actually working. Check out the latest misc art pic.

Date: June 3, 04

Earlier I got told I can't draw, and let me tell you now I KNOW. You think I get paid for this? If anyone else wants a shot, stop wasting your time. Get lost. If for any reason you do like my work then you are welcome to send me feedback and sujestions. I don't need no stinking critics. I am hoping to get better at drawing through hard work and practice. Untill I do, however, if u can't say anything constructive then shut the hell up. Day after tommorow kicked ass, the visual was amazing. Critics are killing it for some reason, I personally couldn't blink most of the time. While there isn't to much of a story to give away, I'll keep quiet anyway. This is truly a film you have to see on the big screen, its incredible. Also, last night was the first time I saw the "Breaking The Habit" music video, by Linkin Park. I love it, the style is awesome. After the music vids to things like points of authority and in the end, I was a little dissapointed with "Somewhere I Belong"'s music vid. If do animation it should be good, not just randomly thrown in. Breaking The Habit has restored my faith. I look forward eagarly to more of their work. I am trying to finish the second edition of the comic, for those of you who actually care. I may call in help to do this, if I can contact my friend who is better at this than me. *Continued* I scrapped the frame in question, and started it over... The (CENCORED!!! REVEALS STORY!!) look real sweet now, and frame 4 is now finished. Woot! Just one last quick frame to do, and then some scanning/cleaning to do and episode 2 will be finished!!! Maybe even later today!! Depends on how much homework I have to catch up on.

Date: 2 June 04

Damn I have been busy. this is probably the busiest holiday I ever had. Over the weekend I was working flat out to get my website working, monday I went to a mayfair, yesterday I had cleaning to do and after that me and my friends played soccer, and today I got asked to the movies!!! I only have another 4 days off! Jeez I can't wait for the summer... I actually wrote that in an email, and I thought that I should publish such an accurate description, and explaination as to why I don't have anything new posted. Last night I was trying to draw the 3rd from last frame of episode 2... But I was messing it all up and was getting frustrated, so I left it alone. I'll try again when I get home from seeing Day After Tommorow. Thats what we're seeing.

Posted a new image in the misk art section. At the bottom, titled "Realisation Proccess." I got kicked off the computer at 10pm and didn't have anything else to do. So I drew this pic of Kay, fasioning his 49 shirt. The picture is basically representing the few moments after something goes wrong where you can't believe what has happened, and its more like a dream. The realistion proccess is slowly realising that you won't wake up. I'd tell you what part of the story its happening in, but... That bit hasn't happened yet. Heh.

Date: 30 May 04

Its 6:31 GMT. I have the site working, with a proper title, and the first ever comic posted. So, With the deadline ending in 5 or so hours, I think that I've pretty much achieved my goal. Woot. It sucks, but its still there. The next comic will be posted soon.

3 posts in 1 day. If I'm wrong its because I'm 2 tired to think... Its 22:34, and I am shattered... But I MUST stay awake, and on the computer, for as long as I can untill the family gets back home. I should have been off here hours ago. But anywayz, I am slowly adding new bits to the site... There is now a "Free The Future Comic" gallery. Yeah, its just the template with my title on it right now, but that will change. Soon.

Same day - 29 hours, 5 mins deadline - the banner is finished, artistically speaking. I need to make it "Bannerised" as of yet. Then After that I actually need to make the basic chasis of the site and then upload and clean up the first episode of FTF. All this will hinge on how long the website building takes. But for now I need a break... *CONTINUED* Can't be arsed to work out the amount of time left. All I know is that I have sorted the site to some decent extent and it now has a cool title banner. I haven't managed to fix the sub-sites yet, I'll do that tommorow. As for now, I'm leaving my work. I think I've worked hard enough.

Date 29 may, 04

Okay. Today and tommorow are the last days left to complete the site. just 36 hours and 10 minutes from... NOW. So, check back real soon. Right now I'm looking into finishing the banner and hope to have the site running by the end of the day. Look for the first ever FTF comic tommorow.

Date, 26 may, 04

No post in a few days. Well, I am not dead. When I have had chance I am working on a title banner for the site, which is looking good so far. When I have done that I will do some major re-stuctural work, and after that I will get the first ever comic posted. I am setting myself a weekend deadline for this to happen. Thats only 4 days maximum! Check back soon! (but not to soon :D )

Date: 23 may, 04

Ok, so today I was hoping to be geared up for another day of setting up my webiste. The earliest possible time for me to have the site fully functional was right about now. Then... The things started happening... My dad showed up, so I was kind of obliged to go to his for the day. Eventually I settled at his comuter, only to find his damn internet connection was being terrorised by some sort of virus/spyware thing. So, I've only just got back. Can I start work now? NO!! Because I got set some french coursework to do over the weekend. Suck ass. After I do that I need tea and then I need a bath, to pack my bag for tommorow and if theres any time after that, I'll get to work again. (Don't hold your breath, peps.)

date: 22nd may, 2004 Well today I have a full day to work on this site. If only I'd been supplied with frontpage as promised. Oh well, I have been working on a title banner since I got ready after waking up, and I'm about to have lunch. After that I'll finish my banner hopefully before 4pm, so I can go over to daves and get it, and my first comic scanned!!! After that I'll probably be touching those up in photoshop all night. But we'll see how we go. I'll actually make the site usable once I get frontpage. Date of arrival... june 54, year 2258.

date: Whenever

Okay, this is the first site I ever made or probably ever will make, and untill I get a proper web editing thing this will just have to stick with html.

In time I hope that this site will evolve into a site where the comics and cartoons of my friends and mine will be seen. As of yet the site will look... Well, shoddy. But I am still learning.

If anyone does have any tips or contributions to make to a growing site and its editor, please tell me. I would apreciate help and lets face facts... I need it!

Thanks for stopping by... Check back soon and hopefully more of the site will be running. HOPEFULLY.
