Two updates this week..

I'll link to both comics directly this time, since I've neglected to do it in the past.

First the Dreamers epilogue which is uncolored for lack of time (but not for lack of trying). The explanation of it is here on the Deviantart entry of it.



As for tonight, we have something new here:

I'm putting this up on Thursday because for once I got something done early and I figured you guys have been great and patient about the last Dreamers comics. It's only just a tad ironic that he's ranting about lateness in a comic going up two days early. But I digress.

Here it is the start of the event that I mentioned in the last comic, and teased about earlier. I had this planned out before I made that teaser and also way before I started lagging behind. The latter of it may just be fixed in this event since it may give me a chance to catch up with some simpler comics.

Tune in on March 4th for more details..

One more thing before I go: This isn't a bash on black and white comics. I know that people like Bill Watterson and Scott Kurtz and Mario Gonzalez do wonderful work that I envy, this is just Proto Gar mentioning the fact that all I really did was not color it.

The stuff that dreams are made of.. which is LATE!!

Yep, dreams are made of lateness. They look like strong hands don't they?

It's not such a hard looking comic is it? But the thing is I didn't actually get done inking this thing til last Thursday night. I didn't get much done at all on Friday and then I was stuck. But I mucked through it, and I'm glad you guys didn't mind coming along for the ride.

When my brother came up with this story, we wanted something interesting for all four of them. Posey's for instance looked deep into her psyche and insecurities. Gar's was a nice gag and saw a lot of his whimsical nature. Mort's I didn't really like at first, since it wasn't very complicated and didn't really showcase his character much. I grew to like his since the comics leading up to the arc really showed off his volatile nature and so his dream became a nice break from it. Mac's dream on the other hand agreed upon the moment it was thought up. It was such a strange idea I had to do it. Plus Mac butt, how can you not like that?

To all the kiddies out there who just hit puberty: You're welcome.

Dreamers 04 and 05...

Might as well update this now, since I forgot last week..

It's here folks, sorry for the HUGE delay. It's Posey's turn for dreaming.

If you've been keeping up in the last couple of days (it was put up on Tuesday) you'll know why it's late, so I don't have to elaborate, except one fact. This was late because it was hard. The reason I did it like this, is that I didn't want to settle on something that wasn't good. The characters in the dream had to be menacing. So settle and you get something that looks mildly annoyed..

Originally I was going to have Posey in high school being looked upon by her fellow classmates, which the first and some of the third panels show (hence the books and braces), but panels four and five were made with random characters (It's a GIANT Chicken I tells ya!!). I'd say that I meant for it to be that Posey still feels in some ways that she's still in high school with that social pressure still riding around on her back, but if I didn't just say that I got bored drawing angry teens I'd have my head up my ass. And that ain't good for anybody.



Then last Saturday:

Caught up! Mort's was definitely less ambitious than Posey's. And I think there's a reason for that. Posey for one thing has a much bigger imagination. Sure I did that whole Muse thing to show that Mort is an artist with science as his palette, but not only does she have a bigger imagination, she also has insecurities. Mort's comfortable with himself. He may hate himself, but he doesn't care what others think.

I decided to resurrect the chalkboard idea for this one, on one case since I had to get this one done quickly, plus someone suggested (Psyping I think) that I hide inside jokes in the comic for people that maybe would like to find some extra content.

Eighty comics down, twenty to go!
