The War Out There
Here to kick butt and take names on a smaller scale
Episode #81, 82, 83 and 84
I finally got a chance to update the site again. Trying some new things too. As you can see, I've started coloring the strip. Since being in Iraq I got some new coloring programs that make it quick and easy so figured why not. I also finally sat down and actually wrote out a storyline for the strip, something I hadn't really done before. As you can see, at the bottom left of the last two strips there's the title for the storyline we're currently in. Each time we switch to another story the title will change.
I'm currently on leave which is one big reason the site is getting updated. It's nice to finally have internet that isn't so slow. In Iraq it takes about an hour just to upload one strip and I've just put 4 new ones up in about 5 minutes. From now until I get back this is probably how the site will be done. I'll do a few strips and then upload them all at once. Once I return from my extended trip to the big sandbox I will go back to the weekly schedule.
Hopefully you'll all stick around until things get back to normal.
Oh yeah, I finally updated the Past Episodes too so if you missed any you can find them there now.

Thanks for sticking with me!
Oh well, that's about it for now.
Hopefully everyone elsewhere is doing ok.

Here's the link The War Out There Year One for those that might still want it.
If you do get a copy let me know and maybe we can get it autographed for you somehow. I'm here for you so let me know.
Look what I can do!
So, I was bored over the Christmas holiday and had had this idea in my head for a while. I like sculpting things along with drawing and thought it would be cool to have a sculpture of my characters. I wanted them to be nice and bright and about the actual size they would be if they were real. I think they turned out pretty good. It took me about two days from start to finish. I used Super Sculpty (which is really great stuff for sculpting by the way) and baked it right in my oven. Then painted everything and took pictures. Let me know what you think. Later all!
The finished product!
THE BOYS UP CLOSE!!
So you're probably wondering, where's the girl? Well, since this was the first year for the strip and she wasn't there from the beginning I figured I would leave her out of this one. Just like the cover of the book. Now when I do another one next year she'll be in it. Same with the book. I have a few other ideas of other sculptures I might eventually do but you'll have to wait for them. If you haven't seen the book click the link above to check it out. Thanks for looking!
Welcome to The War Out There!!
It's the second year!! Who would've thought?
FOR THOSE THAT ARE NEW!!
What is the strip about you?
Well, simply put, it's about three little aliens sent to Earth to prepare for the arrival of their race, which by the way, is going to take over and make us all slaves. By reading the strip you'll get to follow their adventures and see how it all turns out.
I've been posting this on my My Space page and on another website called Planet X Fiction and will continue to do so. This site is just for everyone to be able to quickly come and check out what is going on week to week without having to go join another place just to read it.
Hopefully I'll be able to figure things out and have a lot of visitors that will enjoy what I'm doing.
My first attempt at a banner. Feel free to use it if you want to link to my site or if anyone knows how to make a better one feel free and email it to me.
