What’s Been Going On

Outlandish — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 14:52:42 +0000

Hey, everyone. It’s been a long time since my last update, and I’m afraid I’ve been off the radar for a while. I’ve not been able to focus on comics what with everything else going on in my life. Besides that I’ve been very busy with my game project which is coming along nicely. Maybe [...]

The First Newly Colored Pages

Outlandish — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 16:44:48 +0000

Well, I’m sure you’ve all been waiting to see what our two colorists have been up to! Well, they’ve done a really nice job. Here are some pages they’ve done: This first one was always a favorite with me as the two loony doctors argue about treatment. Kelly did a great job capturing the whimsical [...]

Coloring within the Lines

Outlandish — Sun, 16 May 2010 19:23:25 +0000

Well, some cool things have happened since my last update. I’ve got two artists, Squireborg (aka Kelly L. Brake) and Imposeren, who have kindly offered to help color the remaining 13 pages that need to be colored so that the comic will be entirely in color! This is of course very cool of them and [...]

State of the Comic Address: What do you all think?

First I just want to say, thanks to you who love TFR so much. It’s really amazing to me that anyone keeps checking back after I’ve been sick all this time, and I think you’re awesome. For you, as much as for myself, I would really like to finish this story. Also this is an [...]

Best Laid Plans of Mice…

Outlandish — Sat, 01 May 2010 17:26:58 +0000

Sorry about my disappearance…again. I’ve been so sick and having so many problems that I haven’t been able to do much of anything. I’m still trying to apply for disability and now I have to reapply. And man are my allergies killing me right now. I’m typing to you through a flurry of sneezes. The [...]

Art Blog

Outlandish — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 14:48:48 +0000

I figure that in the mean time as I’m trying to write and figure out the story for TFR, it’d be fun to start doing artwork to experiment with different art techniques. Then of course I’d post them here for your perusal. Well, here is the first experiment. As you may or may not remember, [...]

Mr. Toad

Outlandish — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:21:17 +0000

I don’t know if any of you are familiar with Wind in the Willows. I was thinking about the old British stop-motion movie and tv show that were so beautifully done and have always been a childhood favorite of mine. We recently listened to the audiobook and it was very good and so nice. But [...]

[Comic 261] Who’d have sonic when you can have Laser

Outlandish — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 08:00:00 +0000

Well, after a long absence I finally finished this page. A friend of mine had said that Gilrec should have some kind of cool weapon. But I wasn’t sure about actually giving him a gun or anything. At least not in this version of TFR. So I thought what better than to give a little [...]

Writing The Far Reaches

Outlandish — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 19:07:12 +0000

Hey, everyone. Just wanted to first of all let everyone know that Wowio.com has finally improved now that they’ve landed the support of Top Cow comics, and they’ve changed their agreement. It’s now a more straight forward thing where you can preview the first 15 pages and then buy the full ebook for $3.99. I [...]

Gilrec Again

Outlandish — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 08:00:00 +0000

Well I fixed the forearms and hands, sort of, and reposed him. And…I figured out a way to import the image into Flash then into Photoshop and quickly did some fancy coloring effects. This opens up a new line of thought. I really enjoy drawing and working in Toon Boom. It totally beats the pants [...]
