Well, it was a perfect storm this weekend, and kept me from getting everything done that needed doing. There was a rock n’ roll fundraiser for a local anthology comic- where I aided by doing caricatures, a sister-in-law moving back into town, a kid getting ready to go off to college for the first time, and a second caricature gig that needed some supplies attention before I could get there, and the first of the NCS members that I officially oversaw review of was on Facebook, so there was some Membership Chair stuff that had to happen as others wanted to know how to put in an application.
It was a long weekend, I tells ya.
Anyhow, above, you see the poster for the Rock N’ Roll thing. I’m still pretty pleased with “Corporette, The Prime Amazon”. That’s funny.
And here, you see the character I illustrated for the Anthology the fundraiser was raising funds for:
It’s gonna be fun. The first meeting I went to at the comic shop, Gabe was the only one sitting there with a finished script. One guy with a ready script didn’t sound like a good sign, but I figured if I was there to do the pages, I needed to work with someone who at least hit the deadline. Gabe wrote Stoned Ninja. Not my usual kind of thing- no humor. On the other hand, who knows? You gotta stretch occasionally. Anyhow the pages look good. Now if everyone else finishes theirs, the book will be ready to roll. I’ll let you know how to get yours.
All of which is to say: “Sorry! Hubris didn’t get finished!”
We understand you were busy. It happens. 🙂
At least they’re not spatula-ing you off a semi truck tire. Phew.
Only thing. The Stoned Ninja graphic loads but the one labeled “oops-Hubris” isn’t. At least at 6:33 am central it’s not….
honestly, at first when the page loaded I went ‘WT…’ THEN I guess that there is explanations.
recuperate from your weekend greg
Corporette, once a gentle-spoken, kind librarian who would pay the late fees of any child that needed extra time to finish reading the books they’d signed out. That ended the day she was bitten by an unemployed radioactive marketing executive that used to work for Barnes and Noble. Currently hides out in warehouses long with her army of drones.
Oooooh. Army of Drones! I like it.
(long -> along) You can have it, Greg.
The upside-down Amazon smiley on her headband is a nice touch! (Evil Amazon Prime!)
Who, now? No, that’s Corporette, The Prime Amazon! Any resemblance to persons (or high-powered corporations with the legal rights and privileges of a person) living or dead is purely satirical and not at all actionable in a court of law.
No humor to be found in a stoned ninja? Really? I don’t mean that the story would have to be a comedy per se, but it could still leave room for humorous touches. Not to say that it wouldn’t be worth reading — and if the illustration is any indication, it certainly looksgood.
