I sketched Ade in her guitarcher outfit last night, since I haven’t drawn it in a while. I need to make a pact with myself to draw more outfit designs for Ade (and Britt) in the coming month. As much fun as it is to draw their simple fairy forms, they ARE kind of meant to be these kickass RPG characters!

All Hail Nudist Beach!

We need cosplay of these guys… STAT!

You’re going to regret those words.

I know it’s a tad pompous to keep feeling like I’ve tangentially created an anime every time team Imaishi/Sushio/Yoshinari does something these days but jeepers criminy.

diananock:

I posted the first Girlbot online when I was 25, almost five years ago, a few days after my own birthday. Now I’m turning 30, and Girlbot would be old enough to attend kindergarten this year. This comic has come a long way since I first conceived of it, from a kinda crudely drawn gag comic to a laborious, complicated story. It was planned as a simple comic I could crank out weird little gags to, but it started gathering together a plot pretty much immediately. I don’t think I have it in me to do a pure gag comic, honestly.

I’m extremely proud of my work on this comic but also frustrated. I mean, it’s been FIVE YEARS, and the story is maybe half told at this point. I’d like to finish it before I’m actually middle-aged. And of course, I’m extremely thankful for every reader who has found this odd little project along the way and stuck with me. I promise I’m going some interesting places. Later this year, I’ll up my update schedule once again and do more to engage my readers.

I’ve also come a long way personally in the five years since I posted the first comic. At 25, I was living in a big house with a bunch of terrible roommates because I literally couldn’t afford anything better. I was on food stamps and scrabbling for any little freelance opportunity that might float my way. (This is the main part of being a freelancer, which is why I’m a terrible freelancer.) I hungered for an audience of my own, and so I took a throwaway character I’d made up for an assignment in a college class and breathed life into her.

Girlbot was meant to be an easy way to get some eyeballs on my work while I made plans for my Real Masterpiece Graphic Novel, but the silliness of that attitude has become obvious to me in the last five years. I can’t put this much thought and care and hope into a story and a set of characters without it becoming a precious baby. Anything I put my heart into is going to be meaningful and important. There is no throwaway story. Girlbot has been essential to my growth these past five years.

She’s the only daughter I will ever have.

drawing a comic just for fun…

someday we’ll prove it’s possible!

It’s BUBSY! Gotta love him!

This video includes me failing to get past stage three of the first game, followed by a look at some of the glowing reviews Bubsy got on its release, and then ending with me failing to get past stage three of Bubsy 3D. Somehow it lasted two hours. Co-commentated by chezwiz.

This is our best videogame stream so far. Hopefully in time, we’ll be good enough at this that we can work on a proper Let’s Play series.

Y’know, instead of these stupid webcomics…

Which I probably will…..

Anyway, stream here. Music by 89.3 The Current. I might talk a little too.
