aggienaut: (Zia's Sailor Kris)
its rather difficult to freehand a bell shape





   In case I drew this too badly to get my idea across, and for the vision impaired, I shall explain: a two masted sailing vessel is shown at anchor, its freshly swabbed deck and freshly polished bell gleaming. Along comes an osprey and drops a huge "deuce" on the ship. If you've never seen an osprey do this, which I suppose you likely haven't, its a little like a B-52 on a carpet-bombing run. I once watched one take out a whole row of cars, which gave me the idea of this comic.

   Anyway, the sailor who just finished beautifying the Good Ship Jayus falls to his knees in anguish. But then he sees the osprey land in its nest atop a tree on some nearby land and he gets an idea -- he rows and he rows, and then he climbs and he climbs, and then he drops a deuce of his own right in the osprey's nest.

[In the process of coloring them, hopefully coloring will be completed by tomorrow (Tuesday) evening.]

Somewhere beyond the Fornax constellation...

apologies for the extremely small size, photobucket was being quite tedious to work with. That first bubble says 'Captain, incoming!' and 'Con! Sonar!'





Five minutes pass...













I have no idea where I picked up the habit of putting a crossbar on the letter Z, but it's a thing I do.

And the catship runs off after the missile, the end.


Well putting that simple little thing together and posting it was surprisingly tedious. Experimented with a few different styles and I think I like the last one best, wherein space itself is not colored in at all and its just my original drawings colored in.


And bonus link that should excite you all as much as it did me, while searching the galaxy for inspiration I discovered all the Calvin and Hobbes Spaceman Spiff comics can be found here. They are pretty much the best thing ever (and a window into my mind).

aggienaut: (Numbat)

   The talented and excellent [livejournal.com profile] zia_narratora has brought it to my attention that today is "Hourly Comic Day!!" One is simply to doodle a little comic or so every hour, preferably about something relating to the past hour. Notwithstanding I only discovered this after 1pm, I figure I'll jump right in for the rest of the day.

   As to the above cartoon, I just drew it, but obviously it relates to a number of hours ago, whatever, don't hate! Unfortunately I left the L off "Dave Doppler," I hope I conveyed the little story adequately: everyone suddenly jumps to work the moment Dave the Giant Stick Figure shows up to work. I'm assuming the giant steaming wax melter is probably mystifying to most -- I'll clarify it in an upcoming hour.

   So as not to spam my friends list I think I'll edit future hourly installments into this entry, so check back here! Tomorrow morning maybe I'll post them all at once again, since I have no faith in anyone caring enough to check back here ;)
