Hello! I really should have thought out this newspost ahead of time.

So I noticed that the comic has been goin through changes recently. Yeah, I know what you're sayin. "But Ant, you've never drawn a single comic twice in the same style. EVER." and I feel you I really do but I don't make enough money to support a family right now.

I'm doing this different. There isn't a single person on this planet that could take anything I'm about to say as fact due to my stunning track record of being a lazy worthless sack of nothing when it comes to Supafine. But here goes:

I'm serious about comicing. I should say I'm finally serious about getting serious about making comics. What timing, right? I've still got so much to learn and my art needs so much more refinement. But I started by doing the pretty hard part: Throwing a LOT of money at it.

I finally went and bought all the traditional media that are used in respectable comics these days. I picked up a bottle of india ink, of course, being on a terrible budget, it was super CHEAP india ink. But it's a step in the right direction. I grabbed a couple of nice brushes and a 140lb pressed bristol board pad. I've been reading about all this stuff for so long throughout my life that it feels like it's a huge step just identifying the right kind of paper. So with my new supplies, I trodded home.

Upon arrival I cleaned all of my art tools and got all the things that would be useful to me separated from the not so useful. I have a few right angle triangles that I'm 100% certain aren't true right angles. I set upon learning how to ink art for the first time in my life. Hardcore. I quickly noticed I had no surface to draw on. So I used the hardwood floor and began inking. This was the first thing I produced after an initial test run. For a first time ever thats not so bad, right? Obviously my back was killing me and I learned that you cannot ink panel borders with brushes unless you want some kind of queer effect.

So then last week I negotiated a deal on Craigslist to buy a moderately amazing drafting table! It's amazing and everything I could have ever wanted. To be safe, we threw it into the office nowhere near my computer (but it's now how to my laptop). And anyone can tell you I've been hunched over it day in and day out when not at work.

SO, LET ME JUST THROW A SHOUTOUT to anyone that might be hanging around after my 100th comic fanart to a most fantastic and superior comic Deadwinter. Dave is a testament to storytelling and art combined and has helped me with my inking over the course of the last two weeks. He's a workaholic but a fantastic man.

Following the heels of that (which was totally awesome I didn't even know I could draw like that!) We came upon another project. Well. After I had finished drawing and inking our latest eyesperience was that a fellow webcomic brother and good friend was in trouble!

So again, let me throw a huge shout out to everyone venturing or peeking from Slackerz! Scott has consistently been funny. I don't even know why his Step Up comic didn't win an EISNER because I can't read it without dieing. I didn't even notice the text blurb at the end that said "if you get lost u shuld chek Yahoo mapz" god damnit Scott. Get me some NDSM scripts. You guys are funny. And when Hepting needed an extra hand, we blasted out a balls to the wall text wall-a-riffic comic to blow peoples faces off. Did it work?

No.

But hello just the same!

Now, the reason I have finally devoted myself to traditonal comicing is for a special project I have been developing for over 3 months now. I'm currently drawing a storm of art and buffer comics. I'll post a preview later this week. I suppose I have to design a site for it. I'm so bad at that.

The moral of the story is: WE HAVE AN RSS FEED. Check it. Grab it, check us out on Mondays. Soon we'll have multiple comics updating multiple times a week. If you are ADD enough to survive this shit, we welcome you.

Peace.

P.S. We welcome you on Mondays.
P.P.S. For now.

We're officially set on Mondays for updating for the time being, so here's that page. We might bump the number up if we decide to ditch coloring, but for now, pretty colors!

Every muscle in my back is crying out in pain right now, so I'm going to lie down for a bit and hope that a new spine crawls into bed with me. Check back tomorrow for a link to a guest comic we did!

The world as you know it changes once again, bent by the will of a real destroyer of worlds, Anthony Bianchi. He draws these in wizard robes, which should be common knowledge by now.

Kyle is, in fact, an old man now. There's the list you were waiting for, Ant! Are you not satisfied?

Despite how it looks, we are making a return to one-shot strips and short storyarcs. It turns out that I'm allowed to do whatever I want on my site, and you'd better believe I'm abusing the hell out of that right. That stated, I'm going to be doing more experimentation along with the comics that have become the staples around here.

Also, I'm still working on a solution to our crappy commenting system without implementing forums or redoing all of the code for the site again. That's the one thing that's been bugging me since rebuilding everything a year ago. Well, that and adding alt-text to strips (which I still plan to do, provided I can figure out a work-around without, again, redoing all of the site coding). This thing's a fickle hybrid of PERL and php, and any sudden movement could send her flying into a rage.

More to come!
