David's Nearly Adequate Web Comic #5

Here's stirp 5, still in boring old pen and ink. I tried digital inking, but I still have some kinks to work out.

Chris really wears a tiger T-shirt fairly often, but it's drawn better than that one. And he's had a haircut fairly recently, so in real life his hair isn't quite so wild. Mine is just about exactly as depicted.

David's Nearly Adequate Web Comic #4

As I threatened... er... promised... er... implied, DNAWC has updated. Issue 4 was done with a dip pin and ink, rather than a sharpie marker. I also had a lot more fun with the fonts. In retrospect, it would have looked better if I'd carefully cut the bottom left caption so it was blocked by the contours of the drafting table, but that lies far beyond my feeble Photoshop skills. Right now, about all I can do is clean up a stray line here or there and do the lettering.

There will almost certainly be a 5th installment. I have a wacom tablet I haven't used much. Learning to ink digitally seems like a good idea, so my plan is to draw it in pencil, scan the pencils, and ink over them with the tablet. And if that doesn't work out, I'll go back to pen and ink. :)

This isn't my only web comic. I'm working, slowly, on a more serious one with my friend, Lisa Hartjes. When we've got the first issue done (about 12 more pages, I think) we'll start posting. In the meantime, I may decide to post some of the artwork for that here.

I should really put up some new gaming content one of these days. The thing is, I've used up most of the old stuff, and nothing has really grabbed my attention for new stuff. Still, I can't very well be a rogue game writer if I don't write any game stuff, so I should try to dig up something.

See y'all later.

Okay, this disappearing text thing is driving me nuts.

But anyway, here's the last of the three I did. I have rough drafts of around twenty. Perhaps I'll do the rest, but they take a while, and I have other things to do with my time. If, for some odd reason, you really like what you've seen so far, let me know and I'll factor that into my decision-making.

Here's number two. (I really wonder why the text keeps disappearing when I edit posts with graphics)

I finished up number 3 today. I'll post it later. Then I'll have to see how much time I have, since each of these things takes a couple hours, and I have other projects to work on.

How odd. I would have sworn there was some content here before. Oh well, I'll just do the introduction again.

Hello, and welcome to David's Nearly Adequate Web Comic, the comic that might update occasionally.

I have about twenty rough drafts drawn over a couple days of inspiration, but I never really intended to publish them. Then, a few days ago, some people at the library where I am employed asked me if I'd contribute a couple comic strips to a web publication they're doing. So I now have two of them inked and lettered. All the artwork is done by hand. All the lettering is done by Photoshop Elements, because I figured people would want to be able to read it.

These were pretty fun, and if they don't take too much of my time, I may keep doing them. But don't pin your hopes for the future on it or anything. :)
