Drakyl the Dragonstone Model Sheet

Tony — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 07:15:46 +0000

I gave up on coloring for the time being. It was taking too much time and I had to get some pages done for Endstone. Here’s another character we may encounter in Issue 4, Drakyl the Dragonstone.

Elden Le Blanc Model Sheet

And yet another design sheet for an upcoming issue 4 character. Boy, there sure are a bunch of new ones! And more to come. I hope this is not too “spoilerish.” Let me know if it is. I’m just looking for ways to add extra content to the site, and since I have to draw these anyways I might as well post them.

Also this page was a little experiment with new coloring techniques in Photoshop. I’m still trying to learn how to color. I’d like to do Endstone in color someday… maybe… but I won’t do it unless I’m as comfortable with the coloring process as I am with linework.

See you on Thursday with a new Endstone page.

Reworked Page: Issue 1 Page 19

Tony — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 05:33:53 +0000

Endstone is a work in progress, and sometimes I need to go back and make adjustments to make the story clearer (hopefully ).

I have a suspicion that Kyri’s motivation is not entirely clear, so I reworked page 19 of Issue 1 to drive the point a little more. Basically, she won’t trust Jon because he terrorized the world (and Kyri and Cole) when he rocked the Banestone and was known as Time Killer. She wants to save her daughter but doesn’t know what kind of person she’s grown up to be. And lastly, Kyri’s outlook is about having faith. She doesn’t understand life’s mysteries but has faith that a higher power guides us, and that things happen for a reason and will work out for the better (the opposite of what I mostly believe – LOL).

As the story progresses these things will be touched on more.

This page has been up for about a week so if you’ve recently read the Endstone archives you may have seen it. If not, here it is:

Technical Difficulties

Tony — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 17:46:35 +0000

UPDATE: Looks like it was Akismet spam filter plug-in that was the culprit. Unfortunately, I’ve had to delete Akismet and install a Captcha log in for comments. I hope it’s not too much of an inconvenience.

As of Thursday, June 3 the Endstone site has been experiencing technical difficulties. I am aware of it and I am working to solve it.

Basically, the site has slowed to a crawl. I have not changed any software or plug-ins prior to this. My host says everything is fine on their end. I disabled all plug-ins and it was still slow. Then after a while it seemed to get faster for no reason. I enabled some plug-ins and it still worked fine. And then after a while it slowed down again. I can’t find the logic or the culprit.

So I’m stuck. I’ll keep working at it. But I really hate this crap. I hate wasting time doing this stuff when I could be drawing.

The Drunk Duck site is up and operational if you’re a new reader and want to check some pages out.

Anyhow back to wrestling,

Tony

Herrik Bio

Tony — Sun, 23 May 2010 06:17:26 +0000

I added a bio for Herrik the Snake in the cast section. You can also read it here:

Herrik

Aliases: The Snake, Herrik the Great Race: Human Height: 5′10″ Weight: 185 lbs. Hair: Light Brown Eyes: Blue

Herrik is perhaps the greatest hand to hand fighter in all of North America. And he knows it.

Trained as a fighting-priest at the Temple of the God Alvik in Memphis, Herrik has mastered many forms of martial arts. However, for all his martial prowess, Herrik lacks the ability to rock the over-stones. Because only monks with innate stoner abilities can obtain the highest levels in Alvik’s clergy, Herrik became bitter and left the order.

During the ensuing years Herrik has lived by both his fists and his wit, yet he still harbors bitterness towards stoners. This is the main reason he has joined forces with Kyri Thunderhead and her power disrupting Endstone.

Audit the Fed

Tony — Sat, 08 May 2010 01:16:18 +0000

One of my other interests besides art is economics. It’s a new interest born out of the current financial crisis. While I realize this sort of content might not be in line with a fantasy webcomic, I thought I would experiment with some new content. So here we go:

This is a clip of Rep. Grayson of Florida laying out the case, in quite a humorous way on the House floor, as to why the United States Federal Reserve should be audited. I know many of you readers out there are not US citizens, but I know most of you have central banks that are just as opaque as the Federal Reserve and are probably up to the same tricks.

The Fed is spending my money without representation or oversight. And they can secretly aid their cronies with my money. And it really burns me.
