This EMPIRE, the work continues to get back on the regular schedule.  Today’s post (quite late) is the next development step of putting together episode 28 part of “Worlds Collide” story arc.  During this process I would be flushing out the thumbnails for rendering of characters, background, and dialogue placement.

By the way thanks to the Sketch Jam crew for the much needed advice of updating on regular basis.  Something is better than nothing.

Another thing if your in the area, check out Justin Yang’s submission for Design Box’s gallery opening of “Bad Ads” for the First Friday festivities.

Thank you for your continued patience, and reading.

Regards,

This EMPIRE is making the trek back to its regular schedule programming. This how strip 29 is proceeding small thumbnail sketches, backed with me rewriting the dialogue an infinite number of times.

Danielle Corsetto author of Girls of Slingshots recently celebrated her 1,000th strip, now moving to a color format. Cheers Hazel & Jamie, and to another 1,000 more comics.

By the way fans of Image Comics produced “Walking Dead” by Robert Kirkman, and Charlie Adlard will be premiering as a live action show this Halloween on AMC.  The pilot will be directed by Frank Darabont and he will be writing some the episodes (great googly moogly).  Click here… for a viewing.

Thank you for reading, comic will be back online soon.

In the works

In the works

The slow climb continues to get This EMPIRE back on schedule. Navigation through the comic pages seems to be up to date.  If there is any problems let me know.

Above is the initial story board / thumbnail process I go into when making a comic.  I kept tweaking panel 3 in next two layouts working on the character’s expression for that scene.

Below is what coming up when the last 3 parts of “World’s Collide” finally wraps up.  Pardon the wait on new comics.

Unabashed plug time

Meredith Gran the amazing author of Octopus Pie has recently release her first collection of strips from her wonderful comic.  It nearing the end of  the initial 8-week sales period, and those numbers mean a whole lot towards getting future books made this way.

Yes I have my copy; it was kind of the personal treat after a long strange turn of events in a not-too-distant parallel world.  Which is now taking even further twists and turns.

Oh My.

Laugh out loud moment

Questionable Content the last panel with the Pintsize remarks made my day.

Thank you for reading.

The 11th Hour

On another world much like our own, a crisis, an event so mind-bogging continues… Rassum Frassum here is another sketch, meaning This EMPIRE is still on hold.  To our dear readers, I am sorry for the delay.  This EMPIRE will continue.

Oh yes, the site is a bit in a mess, recent upgrades, and content that needs to be resorted. Pardon our dust.

Thank you for reading.

Regards,

Could of, should of, would of

Could of, should of, would of

Yeah sketch day… am I right?  This one comes from a Sketch Jam session in which I don’t know how this one came to be and where it went.  Luckily one of the attendees, Ryan Hall came up with a back story about the “sailor” being down in dumps because of his lady.  Good thing he had the company of “his mates” to drown his sorrows.

Really, true story.

By the way I caught a sneak preview of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.  I mention this film several times over, but it was quite enjoyable.  But consumers beware this story was six volumes at it was compressed into a running time of 112 minutes I to my understanding this ending is the “film’s ending of the story.”  So yeah it skipped a bit here and there.  Also go pick up the series at your local comic book shop, book store, or library.

Unfortunately, I missed out on a meet and greet function to work on my “professional development.”  Truth be told, I would do it all over again.  I once gave up tickets to see a lecture by Rafael Viñoly to see a sneak preview of “Serenity.”

Boy was it ever fun to watch.

Pardon the dust, the site had an upgrade to Comicpress 2.9.1.2, with WordPress 3.0.  Things are in the works, and hopefully soon we will be back our regular schedule program.  Thank you for reading.

Regards,

DGC
