Day 365 - Page 365 | FINAL DAY!


Well, well, well. Here we are at last. The final page.
You see, I was going to color it, but none of the shapes were working so i just decided to leave it black and white. Looks great, though, doesn't it?
I put a slight gradient over it to give it that "cool look." I've been doing that a lot lately.
You'll notice that every character I've ever made is there, (uh, sort of).
But uh, anyway let's get on to...


Ooops! Heh heh! I forgot to shade. Oh whatever, it still looks awesome tho! ;P


I was going for a cool kind of "sketch-y" look with this final page.
I think I achieved it pretty well.



Ahh, isn't it great? All-in-all, a great ending to Page a Day. :)

Did I fool you?

No?

Ah well. Here's the REAL final page.


This is a bittersweet ending to Page a Day.
On one hand, I'm sad to let all these characters go with that lame last line.
On the other hand, I'm glad to finally not have to draw those guys over and over, it gets really tedious.
However, I do have good news! Rock Paper Scissors was sold to Marvel and will be appearing his own monthly comic. This time, he'll be drawn by the amazingly talented-- I'm kidding.
However, I do have plans for that character. :)

Ahem, to honor this Outstanding Achievement, I've prepared a little video.
(Actually, I prepared it only a hundred or so pages in, but what the heck).


Oh yes, and those cards I made? I'm thinking about updating them. Please vote in the poll to your left whether or not you want me to make all of them. :)





One last thing before we get to the various sections, I created a three dimensional Lightning Bug a while ago, and now's the perfect time to show him off!





Yay! Anyway, on to The Age Old Debate...







Remember these guys?
I'm still hoping to do a comic with them in it, but I'll be pretty exhausted from drawing and writing 365 pages, so I'll probably spend at least half the year doing nothing but this other comic I'm going to be doing with my friend-- which is a small, 25+ page thing that'll be pretty easy, (hopefully).

Anyway, I'm not sure these guys will be able to fit into to my busy schedule so I'm putting these drawings in a drawer and saving them till later.
However, I'm pretty excited about a new prospect, which is about a ghosthunter. :)
So, summing it up, not sure if these guys will be in my new schedule, but SOMETHING will.

Also, about publishing the comic, there are quite a few consistency errors, mistakes, and other things that I'm dying to get my hands on, and I won't allow myself to publish this comic as an e-book or anything until I've fixed all the mistakes and plot holes.

I will announce the publication of this comic, (if it ever happens), on this blog. :)


The shading on this page had to be above average. After all, it's the last page!
So I pushed myself to shade every little thing, and believe me, it was worth it.

However, I'm kind of disappointed. For some reason, this page didn't stand out to me. Maybe that's a good thing. After all, who wants a glossy, over-the-top, light show with fireworks and confetti?
Maybe it's fine the way it is.


I applied a light gradient over the whole page, (like I mentioned in my little joke up above), to give it some visual flair. I used the surface shader in Corel Painter X.



And a look at the very first page...


Well, here we are at the end.
There's nothing more to say.

See you around next year!

Day 346 - Pages 344, 345 and 346




It's been a long time since we've seen Thorntax...

Okay, so I have a few things to wrap up, and here they are:

#1: I said before in a waaaay earlier post that I was going to have a hero called Red Sword wear the centuarian helmet Lightning Puts on his head on Page 33.

#2: Rocktitan's clone knows that Lightning Bug has a copy gun. In the following pages I will have to somehow use that bit of info...

#3: What does Gremlin REALLY do? As in, how did a lame criminal boss get within the ranks of the toughest supervillains ever?!

Only three things, but each of them will be hard to explain. D:

And now, the beautiful Bare Bones:

Day 343 - Page 343


Those are the exact same colors as the original characters had when they first appeared.

Day 15 - Page 15


I just realized that my posts have gotten very very short. It isn't that I don't have the time. I do. In fact, I often waste a lot more time doing something else then posting to this blog. It isn't that I am angry at you. I have no reason whatsoever. The reason is... I just don't have much else to say except "Here is the page, enjoy it, check out the slideshow, I am happy, yay." Not really the greatest thing to repeat over and over. If you look at really really old posts (a few days ago :P) I talk and talk and talk. Its great and all, but its really a lot of "blah blah blah" that doesn't mean a thing. So thats all going to change. I'm going to think up some nice new topics to talk about. So that is why I'm writing this humungous block of text.
And its also why the little icons are smaller. Less taken up space, more writing.
So, without further ado, lets talk about the page!

So here it is pretty clear that Zach and Throntax know each other very well. In fact, they know each other a little too well for a supervillain and a store owner. But maybe there is some secret past that I'm not going to bring up until the 100th page or something! Hmmmmm! Okay, that aside. Anyway, as you can see Thorntax's personality has some serious changes. His first appearance is all menacing and when he says goodbye he has the classic "happy eyes." I'm still not sure what his power will be.

We will just have to see.
