It takes a brave woman to sleep when there's a snake with horns about ... So go see Beyond the Pale. It's got a brave woman. Sleeping. Oh, and a snake with horns!

(Plus the artwork is, as always, gorgeous!)

*****************

Kind of a bonus page in Shades today. Chapter 5 ended yesterday and Chapter 6 starts on Thursday but - much to my own surprise - I just remembered we had a cover prepared which slots neatly in between the two.

And, since I'm not the artist, perhaps I'm allowed to say ... It's kind of cool, too!

Yup, nothings' better than standing around naked. Let the natural breeze take it all in! I say be proud man! Be proud to stand around naked! JJJAAAAA!!!!
The woman in the picture looks a little blurry, but other wise, its a great chapter cover! ^_^

:: Updates to with the return of the main character, Becky! Wwwoooottt! With colorful language, a pretty girl, and hand waves! WWWOOOTTT!!!

"F--ker Pants"! I like that... almost as good as "S--t Burgers", something I seem to blurt out sometimes.

Today on Times Like This (and visit TimesLikeThis.com if you still see a Bud ad): Na naah na naaaaahh!

(If you don't quite get it, go here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jykg9jDI6T8 )

Times Like This - hehe! both gross and amusing.

Of Snakes and Apples updates. Adam is not happy with her answer and they find themselves not alone. ***Warning, nudity***

There's nudity in Snakes and Apples which is never a bad thing and some really awesome coloring.

Rival Angels updates today, its first Wed posting and we discuss nail polish.

On Rival Angels , what a way to wake up in the early morning by smelling someone's nail polish and their horrible smell of their feet. That'll make anything to wake up. lol!

-------------------------------------------------

On Billy Learns To Rock , this has to be the hardest page I've worked on. It took me like several tried to make it look decent. I drew 4 hectic perspective shots. Slow progressing story but it's getting there. Yet, it was all worth it. :)

Rival Angels- Female bonding! Nice writing and art on this page, especially with the coloring.

In Smoke Manmuscle, P.I. , we learn a bit more about Smoke's contact, and Conan acts like a douche.

Awesomataz updates with a conflict between two rival bands, and yet another punchline that will be gotten by no one.

Waaa... I got skipped :'(

Simonitro-perspective is still off, but i almost like it! special yin the last panel, makes it look realy abstract and kinda alarming, like a funhouse.
heh heh, 'n P.S. cuaght the judas priest referance in the page before!
FASTER THEN A BULLET
TERRIFYING SPEED
ENRAGED AND FULL OF ANGER
HE'S HALF MAN AND HALF MACHINE!
love Judas Priest

Smoke Manmuscle,P.I-link didnt go to the comic. sorry,duder.

Awesomataz-wouldnt mind seeing a few of those douschebag goths get punched in the cootch. haha, and no man, sorry, didnt get the punchline. probably just someone i never heard of though,eh?

--

Putrid Meat's updated and it might be the last page i illustrate for a little while, not the LAST,PERIOD. but i'm gonna be having other people help me out for the next few pages then after i get a few things done, i'm gonna take over again. if anyone's interested, PQ me and i'll get back to you. but anyways here's the link: http://www.drunkduck.com/PUTRID_MEAT/
Bones meets the Kiddies....this wont end well.

@simonitro: Skipped, eh? That's not right.... Billy Learns to Rock, I really dig the background perspective shots. Looks like a fish eye lense (if we were talking about movies, and I come from a cable production background). Very unique.

@Mondo_Funky: Awesomataz has some of the most random and funny things going on in it, just mind-blowing! Robocop, random butt sex...hilarious! Also, in Smoke Manmuscle, PI, this dude with red on his face wants to go hooker shopping...which is also funny!

During the course of writing this review, Putrid Meat posted...so now I'm going to review that, too!

@Putrid Meat: The latest page has everything you could ever hope for...especially if everything you've ever hoped for was people getting hit by a car! Sweet!

###

The Man with Beady Eyes shows up in Temple!

Trevor hates the mall because the mall is a frightening place.

@Trevoramuller: Dude. Awesome job! I love your style, and it's pretty hilarious as well XDDD (For the comic @$$hole)

Ryu's Krew: The Beginning just updated today with my 4th page. Took me a while, but I finally made the 4th page, and it's all hand brushed (On photoshop) but it took a really long time! So try and like the new style please? :3

Ryu's Krew - nice colors...I was a bit confused on what was going on...and I'm still not sure what is happening in the bottom left panel. The character designs are cute ^^


********

Kenyagi updates with a little negotiation...and confusion.

use the force some of the panels don't flow that well

Attention daily updates today(I really need to remind myself to come here and write down that I update

I talk about one my friends who's a bit odd...then again I'm strangeness incarnate

The Other Me today explores the joys of working in fast food retail. And proves, beyond any doubt, that there are no jokes too stale for a friend to foist upon you if there's any chance it might just make your day a little bit worse!

*************************

Meanwhile in Shades we're posting the first page of a new chapter (Chapter 6!) And, what's more, it's got a feisty redhead in a chariot, too!

Plus, in the BVC Scrap Book we've put together a little collage to show just how that chariot was put together . Because apparently Ford doesn't make them anymore!
;)

Shades What can I say about this comic that I haven't said before, it's slickly put together with some excellent dialogue and some fantastic story told with an expert eye. There are several reasons why you should visit it, one of them being that it's not a traditional Superhero comic and two, it has BOO in it.

Nuff said!

The Chronicles of Wyrden updates today with Scar taking a wrong turn down Bell Alley and heading for trouble, or is he?

The Chronicles is a fantastic comic - the story is clever and witty, and the art is *amazing.*

------

Over at Salt the Holly , there's an ambush! And Daisy actually *does* something!

@Salt the Holly - first time being introduced to this comic, actually.

Entertaining read, art slightly improves from first day to current.

My crit though is the technical stuff about the fights.


===

Anyway, MAG-ISA has updated with a filler art. Hope you like it.

Poster art until the conclusion of PENCIL TEST begins next week. First one is up now.

That guy looks like a cross between a Tusken Raider and a Transformer. Very awesome art.

Today on Times Like This: A little variation on a strip I did last week, with the roles switched.

Fins on cars and Deathraces!

The Other Me http://www.drunkduck.com/The_Other_Me/

updates today more talking leading to more exposition...I'm starting to feel like my comic would work better in collections...

Attention http://www.drunkduck.com/Attention/

I love psychonaughts

The Other Me: Some good intrigue about the other Jacob...

Attention: That was a cool game, wasn't it? I'll play anything Tim Schafer makes - can't wait for Brutal Legend (whenever that comes out)!

Blood Groove updated today, with the heroes just one car ride away from learning more about the prophecy.
www.drunkduck.com/blood_groove

I'm so excited to me launching a second comic here on Drunk Duck, one that is very dear to me! I enjoyed making it, so I hope some might enjoy reading it!

LADY DOOM is a superhero comic, not really connected to BG (Though I'm not counting out possible future cross-overs!) about a sword-slinging urban vigilante. It's just fun superheroey stuff.
www.drunkduck.com/lady_doom

@Ziffy

Interesting dialogue in The Other Me. I haven't read much of it, but I like the way you use different fonts for the different characters.

My first time looking at Attention. I like it. I've had moments like a lot of the ones that have come to your attention. As for the most recent page, I don't know that game, but the observations would apply to a few that I have played.

EDIT(Simultaneous posts!!)

@ Mister Kent

Nice page in Blood Groove. One of the more interesting elevator conversations I've heard. (Usually I experience silence interspersed with an occasional cough.)

Lady Doom is off to a strong start! Very interesting. I'm intrigued about the "missing and dead" criminals.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm actually pretty proud of today's page of Used Books . I was terrified to attempt it, but my story called for it, so I just held my breath and gave it my all. What was I scared of? Cars. It's a car chase. It turned out considerably better than I thought it would, and was not nearly as scary to draw as I anticipated. So take a look. I had fun (and fear, frustration, relief -- a whole inner drama) with this one.

Simultaneous Comic Review Attack, ENGAGE!

On today's usedbooks, I love the chase scene - you're right to be proud of it! The headlights--man, the shading on them lights is really attractive to me! Great job once again.

Lovely page there, usedbooks. I never had the guts to draw cars, because I'm afraid they're going to come out looking absolutely skewed sideways - seems you're much braver than I. ;) (And yay, I get to sneak-comment on usedbooks!)

I like the news reporter twist in Lady Doom, Mister Kent - dramatic while still telling us just enough info. :)

**********

Morphic updates again today after skipping last week (working on college application took all my time) but to make up for my absence, it's a double update! Yes! Not only do you get this week's page - you also get a bonus picture of the main characters. :)

@frost: The cast picture is relaxing, the smooth colors give off this warm summertime feeling. I like how everybody is really carefree. Also, I kinda laughed at the whole brick wall thing. I honestly was not expecting that reply.

Somewhere in SF updates with "Revelations and Drama, Part 2 "

Somewhere: I love your art style, very free and flowing, and fun. I really like how you do the backgrounds. Not a lot of people bother with backgrounds.

------------

George the Dragon updated today. Yeah, so it is technically filler (isn't everything?), but I think it looks pretty good, and it gave me a chuckle.

I'm sorry to hear that you have a cold, buddy - but at least you're not blowing away the house when you sneeze, like the dragon. ;)

###

Trevor's dark history comes out , as well as the other reason he hates the mall!

@$$hole - yes, 12 year old are frightening...*shiver*

Great page as always ^^

******

Beyond the Pale updates with the return of a villian and a new character...oh and the beginning of a fight.

Beyond The Pale has some crazy drama going on, and there's 8 panels! That's the way to move a story. Lots of anger in this one too.

And I have to say that @sshole is mad funny. Great page.

Rival Angels updates today, and the girls find that food can equal happiness.

Rival Angels is full of doughnut-y goodness today and deserves a look. Mmm, doughnuts.

Salt the Holly has a bonus comic that might give you some insight to the lives of the creators.
