Ordeal of pain and horror

Robert Smith sure is good at motivational speeches!
Hellraiser UMD for PSP
In other news, Bandai has commissioned a jeweler to create a 250000$ Platinum and diamond gundam figurine.
Awesomely tacky.

Speaking of statues, fangirls are evil when they have cause.

Wow.

I wonder what they would do if they saw some of the things Japan has been cranking out over the years?
May 14th, 2007 at 1:46 am
Good point, I should add some links to japanese figurines. The ones from Ikki tousen are a good counterpoint :)
It’s not like Mary Jane isn’t a model who could easily be shooting an ad for washing machines, or thongs, looking like that.
I do like the spidey picture though. Reminds me of Hentai Kamen
May 14th, 2007 at 8:58 am
Eh, I’ve seen stupider, but the drawing of Spidey pretty much made my day. I makes the point in a way that can’t be avoided.

What point?
That guys like looking at women’s asses more then women do men’s?
That males tend to prize female’s outward signs of fecundity over all else?
That losers like to buy tiny tacky statues of fictional babes in thongs?
The final nail on the coffin, the last reason that the fucking human race, the worthless lot should really be destroyed, wiped off of this shitty planet?
That mothers, housefraus, and other such biddies like to nag about the commodification and objectification of the female form?
Funny pic, but the more appropriate version would be Peter’s wallet/check book spread out for all to see…
I personally think about the uneducated desperate Chinese women assembling and painting these petrochemical PVC toxic things in crappy factories 12 hours a day for shit pay so assholes in rich countries can jerk themselves off to immature fantasies of balloon tits and swinging spandex instead of getting a real woman to fuck, argue, complain, laugh, eat, love, hate, fart, and belch with.

Hey about the guy looking for an artist:
http://www.marilith.com/
Didn’t I already condemn him and his shitty comic as… really shitty?
Would it be hypocritical of me to draw it anyway?
May 14th, 2007 at 11:22 am
Bah. Try and laugh at stuff and you get serious. Try and be serious and you crack wise. There’s just no pleasing some people.

“Why men like to gaze on the female form”
I guess it doesn’t explain the laundry, though.

When has that ever stopped you before? Or anyone else for that matter. Turn about on your princables just to make a buck? In AMERICA!? Never!
Right.

Actually I think that was the alpha shade guys… I think you just made some mildly dismissive comic about his other comic, krakow.
It’s gotta be better than drawing rule 34 of the teen titans…

If you’re feeling in the mood for it though, you could post a critique of different webcomics every week, give ‘em the full red pen and tongue lashing treatment, that’d be a great way to get traffic. Angry nerd rage traffic, but traffic nonetheless.

>There’s just no pleasing some people.
I agree.
I asked my brother about the comic, and he also said it was lame and forbid me to draw it.
Unless I can get the money upfront, he said. I told him you usually get half upfront (after sketch/layout/storyboard), and he said fine. I think I’ll pass, it’s really lame, like 90’s Cinemax lame without any jokes. I mean, it’s the same guy who did Krakow, right? That was kinda funny, what’s up with all them humorless pin ups of machined gunned T & A?
I’m rewriting Kung Fool again, this time as a silly multi-plex movie.
I merged Chen’s character with that old black 70’s action star guy, the father of the little girl, who in course of time became the white & British Idgie.
Who wants to read it?
May 14th, 2007 at 3:31 pm
Hey that new guy Krakow hired can draw and junk…
Thats a lot of work… which means he’s actually paying decent pay…
Which means… I’d actually have to work on it (!) if I got the gig.
Sheesh, all that work for a mediocre action story… like illustrating Magnum PI with tits… so depressing… maybe if we can jam a robot or two… it’s like when you draw guns & junk, you get lost in the intricacies of the detail, and what not… but when you’re done all you have is the same picture, same poses, same skin tight suit, smug grin… no real movement, nothing at stake, nothing real… same old circle jerk, of fight, fight, fight, run, run, run, oh my, is that time to take my shirt off again, oh my, it’s so cold I could cut diamond with the twins! *shake boobies*
But wait, isn’t that what comics are all about, what ever you draw, a tacky T&A shit or Hadda Gabbler, it still the same drawings over and over… head skull, face, torso, cloth, gesture, details, pupil, eyelashes, collar, guns and hat. Ground plane, shoes, chairs, table, wall, celling, frame, pictures, labels, leave room for the word balloon, NEXT PANEL!
And so on.
It’s probably just me…
Oh I saw this movie “Wedding Belles,” last night. It was on BBC4, a tv movie, so it’ll prolly never come stateside, unless subtitled on HBO or something.
It’s written by the “Trainspotting” novelist, and it’s the all female version, if you will. Like “Trainspotting” crossed with “Steel Magnolias.” Best part’s that their bloody accent’s so thick, you’ll feel like you’re having a fucking stroke listening to the dialogs. Everybody talks like Willy the groundskeepers from the “Simpsons!” Great stuff. Check the torrents.

Please note that I was the guy that asked about that old half naked pin-up/flash greyscale test you did years back. With that in mind…
>like illustrating Magnum PI with tits
…sounds good to me!

you mean this pic of Misato?

Face’s a bit blah… but it was where I scanned and converted a bitmap drawing to vector in Flash…

This is true.

And the world is right again! When I saw the comment # jump from 4 to 17 in a day, I knew it could only be instigated by one person. Good to see you again, H, watching Dr. Cox rant on Scrubs just wasn’t the same as having you around.

Been looking for that forever! Nestor was no help at all, you should fire him and/or tighting the thumb screws. Thank you.

I know you make that face because the only thing worse than being broke is having to work for your money eh?
May 14th, 2007 at 10:56 pm
I second any and all comments associated with torturing Nestor, as he’s a limp dick who can’t take the raging heat of my truthful posts. The daily titles for the individual pages kind of annoy me, too, but that might just be my fanboyism to leave things as they were created flaring up.
Skin sells books; this is why Love Hina was as popular as it was. If all women in comics had moderate bodies, dressed plainly, and talked about their personal problems, it sure as fuck wouldn’t be bought by the kinds of people (usually males) which frequent comic book stores.
As for taking a job for a comic you already bashed, money’s money. It won’t be any less green just ’cause you turned your back on your morals. Also, you might as well draw for someone else, ’cause you’re too uptight in your own style of pre-planning each pannel and character to as close to perfection as you can to just bang out any quick-to-make, humorous crap, and too lazy to sacrifice your personal slack-off time, however limited it might be, to do something that actually requires time and effort to pull off.

This kinda reminds me of Adam Carolla. He used to call Mountain Dew nectar of the tards (which it is), yet he had no problem taken their money to do a few commercials. I guess it goes to show that if someone is stupid enough to give you money even after you dump on them theres nothing stopping you from taking it.

Well all the old comics masters got to be good bydrawing thousands and thousands of work for hire pages, and it is paying work after all. Of course that’s all hypothetical since the guy probably already read all this and isn’t gonna hire you regardless.
