October 02 Who am I be?Hello, my many fans of Danc... uh, Gauphastus of Gauphastus Land's as of yet unnamed webcomic! I'm sure you've been aching, itching, perhaps vomiting, in anticipation of the next installment of my series of web comics. Before we get to that, I want to ask you folks a question -- Where in this 5000-hour MS Paint epic can you find the true visage of the very author you've come to adore?
Got a guess? An inkling? Maybe an office pool as to whom I might reveal as my image? The answer is, of course, none. All these sketches fail to match my own physical appearance.
They're just drawings you goofy twit. What in the hell is your problem? Go sit in the corner. No comic for you today. February 11 Slight delaySorry for the delay, folks.
I haven't lost interest or anything. For a while there, my sleeping habit was completely upside-down; I was always too tired to do anything, so I'd sit around and watch the crap on TV like Johnny Test, Foster's, and something else I can't remember likely because it blew.
No, I want to get this next comic done. And others of course!
It'll be shortly, you bet your bippy.
wtf is a bippy... I hate Archie.
EDIT: Actually, to be completely honest, I have been drawing a lot lately.
But not for this. For http://www.thesentencegame.com/index.php.
And I'm having loads of fun too. January 26 Quit yer bellyachin'!This one's a biggie.
You know, I'm not at all sure how long this little hosting scheme I've got going will last.
I keep putting off the webhosting; I certainly have the money for it. I'm just unsure if it would be a good investment paying for something that may not catch at least a small readership.
But I suppose for readership to happen in the first place, I'll need to update more often.
Big gap there.
lolwtf? You decide.
Just so you lot know what I'm talking --
Creative Uncut - I loved these! Then he quit to become a writer or something. How dare he pursue his own dreams?!
A Modest Destiny - and other comics in similar style; used to read it, but then something... happened. Anyone hear of the fiasco this guy had with Penny Arcade? Hell, has anyone else ever even heard of this comic? In any case, he's back to doing it. He quit for a long time there because of said fiasco; the site shutdown and hiatus lost me.
My disinterest in the comic was somehow worsened when I saw the guy arguing about his own biographical article on Wikipedia. Now I don't know who I dislike worse.
Men In Hats - You have to respect a guy who is impervious to the effect a community can have on... wait, that's not right. He fizzled and crumbled.
Oh well.
Bob and George - Used to love this one. Then I didn't. Reason being that it had become, to me, a catastrophic derailment across multiple dimensions. Convoluted like all hell, the comic I once would read for brief entertainment became a complicated map in the back of my mind. In short, Bob and George is the reason I was distracted and failed so much in High School, both scholastically and sexually.
Thanks for nothing, you bastards.
Homestar Runner - Alive and well. Not sure why it needed to be mentioned anyway.
And yes, that is who you think it is with the flab, moobs, gimp mask, and oven mitts.
RPG World - Pretty sure this one's dead.
Ctrl+Alt+Del - Feelin' fine.
8-bit Theater - zomfg trite
Penny Arcade - ...
HELL, I'm bored. And outta here. See you guys later.
January 23 A little sick. Just a little.There we go. Had a little difficulty adding the entry.
So yeah, as I said, I'm a little sick. The cold updated recently, transitioning from horrible to today's all new feeling:
Dozy and lazy. Both of them!
I've little left to do with comic episode 2, just the layout and coloring.
And another thing -- I assure you, my readers, that I could easily have a comic done every two days at the speed I make them.
With two afternoons of solid work, no slacking, little time spent elsewhere, I could have one comic completed. It's a cinch!
Of course, I would very soon run out of material and would have to start half-assing the gags for each episode. I don't care to do that.
The speedy comic completion would unfortunately not work out this time. The first day I spent getting the first portions of the comic done; this included sketching and inking the character figures for each comic panel.
The next day, I planned on drawing up the actual comic panel layout and placing the characters where they need to be.
But that never happened. Instead, I had to away to a doctor's appointment regarding my right wrist. Back in November, I injured it when I fell off a slime-coated ladder at work.
After a bit of debate with the doctor, after I told him I required a doctor's note to further remain off work, he instead sets me up with a note for physiotherapy. Had to go to this other clinic, deal with them, and then do errands with my dad for another hour.
Great, right? More time wasted.
I haven't been to the physiotherapist yet; I was instructed to wait for a call.
It was the next morning that the cold I'd had for a day or so decided to hit me hard.
I awoke with the feeling of sharp pains in my throat, like minor stab wounds left by a serial minor stab wound psycho who then dove out my window, hailed a convenient taxi, and disappeared into the night.
Or something like that. In any case, my throat hurt like hell; from that point, I decided I didn't feel like doing anything for the next week or so.
As I get better, and I'm pretty good now but still quite dozy and lazy, I will continue my work on the comic.
The only reason I make this post is because I'm incredibly bored.
Time well spent.
January 12 For realsWhile I did start practicing back in December, trying to get the form down and come up with some zany ideas, the first actual work I did towards making a comic was on January 8th. I suppose I could easily have had the comic all ready to go in as short as two days, as I didn't work on it for long on the 9th, or at all yesterday.
We'll see how the next one goes, which I will likely make basic preparations for today.
I will eventually get around to hosting a comic related website elsewhere. You see, if I try to upload a photo as big as that to the blog photos, it gets automatically reduced to a completely useless size. This annoys me.
For now, I'll either host it on imageshack or... something else. I don't know.
In any case, I'll see you folks later.
Hopefully, the bear issue will be dealt with shortly and the comic will continue.
You may sit and wait if you like. Just put your drinks on the goddamn coasters.
January 07 Webcomic forthcoming
You bet your ass.
I have a tablet now, Wacom Intuos3. I love it.
Anyways, some words of warning about my awesome (forthcoming) webcomic --
It's about me (Gauphastus) and my video games. And it -- huh, I swear I just heard a really loud, collective groan.
Yeah, for the first little bit, according to my plans, I'll be making fun of/ripping off other webcomics out of both parody and spite.
And later on, I'll probably totally deviate from video games and become mostly about my relationships with some chick and my dumbass roommates!
Or maybe I'll make an extremely long, drag-ass story arc and lose most of my readership!
I could even give my characters little to no personality or uniqueness at all, and rely entirely on the script to tell my gags!
Or hell, maybe I'll use the comic as the method of cramming a wad of philosophical BS down your throats.
Who knows?
I'll state right now that becoming popular is not a goal of mine.
Actually... I don't have any goals. And I realize I don't even have an intended audience.
Bah, whatever.
Now, go on. Get out of here 'fore I give you a sandwich.
May 29 A WEBCOMIC??!?!?Lawl. Yes, I will be putting up a webcomic in my blogspace thing. I gots me a scanner, some nice quality paper, some kind of program for coloring, and all that bunkbed.
Just figured I'd post this announcement to reacquire your attention. I'm spending a lot of time practicing and building up, trying to come up with a comic representation of myself, but toned down a damn lot so as not to make your testicles collapse in sheer awe.
It'll be a bit. While you wait, feel free to quickly reread this post over and over to rapidly relive the suspense. |
