Unconventional Warfare - Now that both teams' numbers are back up, it's back to business as usual.
So, this wraps up the first chapter, at a whole (and vaguely unimpressive) twenty-four pages. This is the part where I'm supposed to make some commentary on it like a total wanker. Truth told, I've still got a long way to go, both artistically and story-wise, and hopefully chapter two will be twice as fun. Who knows--there might even be some actual plot coming up. 
I'll be getting that ready to start posting as soon as I get back from RTX (is anyone watching this going? I don't think anybody on my friends list is gonna be there, alas.)
Big thanks to everybody who's read the comic so far, and to Samurai373 for starting a group for 'em, and to DocRossim for being hella supportive right from the very first page. Y'all're cool dudes.
(I totally abused, like, four different colloquialisms from across the globe in this post. Oh shit, five now.)

RvB: Revolution Ch. 1, 21 & maps
8 years ago
Myshu chuparifficNews
If I'da known this would only make one page, I'da put it with the last update. (Even so, panel three almost didn't make it.)
I'm not one to (completely) short-change my watchers, though. So here's some bonus stuff:
A map of the gulch and
A map of Blue Base.
I drew these up for reference as soon as the comic started, but didn't figure they were interesting enough to share. And I would've made one for Red Base, but the layout is virtually identical, and there aren't many scenes inside that base, anyhow (the Reds have all their fun outdoors, amirite?)
These bases are apparently made to house a lot more soldiers, but since the teams assigned to this post were so small, their commanders let the boys move out of the barracks and take some rooms upstairs. And since both teams have been short a commanding officer for quite some time, they've made several other "adjustments" to their bases as they've seen fit. (Mostly booby-traps and graffiti, but still, it's something productive. Right?)
Next update will be the end of chapter one, so fun stuff ahead. Laterz! -

Introducing the newest member of the team. Oh, and Donut.
Hmm, still screwing with fonts. I kinda like this one. Thanks to DocRossim for some good suggestions, and to Nudge1 for that fur color.
Man... if anyone wants to help me color these, I would love you long time, just so you know. I love the hell out of writing and drawing this comic, but the coloring part really eats my lunch. I would freakin' pay to free up those couple of nights each week. -

So after, like, twenty pages, we finally have a Caboose. This last page tried to kick my ass, but I put 'er in 'er place. *flexes backhand*
And don't feel bad, Church, the sketchpad adds like ten pounds. Honest. -
Can't Give a Camel's Ass

So this weekend I got back from my holiday "across the pond," as they say, although I was too wiped out to get my shit together and post a journal before now. Needless to say, I live! And damn, it's good to be back in America.
I spent the majority of my trip on the pleasantly temperate psuedo-desert island of Gran Canaria. Although I didn't have the opportunity to draw anything proper, comic ideas were never far from my mind--nor my camera. I present this inane pic dump:
Mmm, tasty suckers.
At some point I got to go on a camel ride, which was kind of a lackluster tourist-ridden experience, all told, but the animals themselves proved fascinating. It was most interesting to me that the white camel's name was Leo--and so, I got the least flattering shot of him possible. I'm, uh... kind of ass with a camera.
(The camel I ended up riding was named Isaac, and he was fond of driving my riding partner into the cacti.)
Eventually I borrowed a stack of plain paper and a pen from someone, and went to town with some doodles:
And there went my two weeks. Let it be known that being 5,000 miles away from my home computer did by no means stop me from getting my ticket to RTX.
Fuck yeah. -

Rawrg, remind me to never take an art commission like that again. Boring as hell and took up my whole week, so I only got to post one page of the comic (it's up where I usually stash 'em. One lousy page ain't enough for a journal.) By the by, I switched to comic sans font, which seems to be easier to read. I've encountered comic snobs before who are all, "blasrlgelsrawrg COMIC SANS BLOWS CHUNKY COCK, THE FONTS SHOULD BE UNIQUE AND ARTISTIC" and argh, man, I can't get that worked up over shit. I'm not lookin' for artistic integrity in a fuckin' speech bubble, y'know?
Well, this is my last post before I fly out on vacation, so I hope everyone has a bitchin' end of March, and if everything goes well I'll be back in April. Peace, dudes. -

Imperfect Attendance

Another tale from my friend in higher education:
friend: I have a class of like 35 people
friend: ten people came
friend: and then before class was over, three just left
friend: just WALKED OUT
friend: and after the first couple I thought
friend: "I swear to GOD"
friend: "If another person leaves, I am BREAKING IT OFF in this class's ASS"
friend: and
friend: another one left
friend: so I said
friend: "Everyone take out a piece of PAPER"
friend: "the quiz tomorrow is off, if you are here right now you have passed it with a one hundred, if you are not here right now, you have FAILED it. tell your friends"
friend: So the next class I open up with a very heartfelt discussion of why you shouldn't do that and the message that it sends, etc.
friend: And that if you want to just fuck off and leave just don't come in the first place
friend: This lasts a good five ten minutes
friend: And then I swear to god not fifteen minutes later SOMEONE LEFT
friend: and guys
friend: this is how I know I'm not a psychotic
friend: Because I did not kill that child
friend: I did not kill that child though every instinct urged me to do so
friend: In fact I barely even reacted
buddy: did you shout after him though
friend: No, what I said, literally deadpan
friend: was
friend: "I cannot believe this shit"
friend: Then I said "Excuse me for a minute"
friend: Took about five deep breaths
friend: And resumed the lecture
friend: my voice shaking with barely repressed rage for three minutes or so
Myshu: Good lawd, I would've dared somebody to laugh
friend: also I took everyone's name up at the end of class again and I'm pretty sure I'm just gonna fail that guy
friend: but it was all okay
friend: I was brought down from this pinnacle of rage
friend: when one of the girls from the previous day came up and gave the best excuse I've ever heard for anything
friend: an excuse so self-evidently and transparently insane that it has to be true
friend: "Mr. ____, I'm sorry I left early. I didn't want to disrupt class, but I had
friend: a
friend: trunk
friend: full
friend: of
friend: dead
friend: puppies."
Myshu: ..........
friend: "That I was supposed to take to the vet to dispose of."
friend: at which point I fell silent, my hand over my mouth
Myshu: I'm a horrible person for laughing right now, right?
friend: Nah I guffawed pretty hard
buddy: does she really work for a vet
buddy: investigation is needed
friend: No they were hers, I guess, they were being taken to be disposed of
friend: and I said
friend: "Sorry about the puppies"
friend: and her boyfriend (he also takes the class)
friend: goes
friend: "It's okay, they were young and we weren't that attached to them."
Myshu: Well, uh... that's some psychotic consolation
friend: I was just
friend: Just fucking dumbfounded
friend: a trunk full of dead puppies
friend: like what could be worse than that
Myshu: Excuse of the year
friend: "Mr. ____, I'm sorry I had to leave class early, I had to GET AN ABORTION."
chat: thats not as bad as trunk-full of dead pups
chat: "Mr. ____, I'm sorry I had to leave class early, I had to GET AN ABORTION. The dead puppy-human hybrid fetuses are in the trunk."
Myshu: ...geebus crispies
chat: sorry if i offended you myshu

Cross-pollinating fandoms

I don't think I've mentioned it, but I've been drawing fan-comics for quite some time. Chimera Quest turned five this past year, as a matter of fact, and it's fun to look back at the first fifty pages or so and see how shitty my art was back then. I've since upgraded to merely crappy art--I think I'm really getting somewhere!
Anyhow, if you like Final Fantasy--particularly VIII and IX--you might want to check it out and leave a shout in the box, harassing me to update the poor bastard. I've been neglecting it pretty hard these past two years (I haven't even paid child support.)
I've done some wacky crossover stuff with Star Fox as well, but I don't mention that in polite company.
