And all we ever were… just zeroes and ones…

Although the online lyrics I found lists it as “all we are worth is zeroes and ones” which is a sentiment that I enjoy slightly more than the original — I could forgive the bad grammar, I suppose… but the lyrics in the liner notes contradict the internet, so I side with the source. Honestly, though, who the fuck cares?

It’s far too late or far too early… I’ve been listening to Zero Sum on repeat for about 2 hours, while struggling with my wacom tablet. It is an Intuos 3 with a 9″ x 12″ screen (flashy, I know) that has been sitting by the side of my desk — unused and unloved — for a couple of years. The credit that paid for it was burned and buried long ago.

It has been a long time since I decided to start this project. It has been forever. I’m not going to bitch and whine (much) about why it’s taking so long… it is my burden alone. Haha! I think I might have some form of clinical depression. I am the Emo Potato.

Anyway, the template is a temporary one until I finish the “official” d-train site design. It will happen, someday.

Meantime, this is the “sketch” I drew (copied) of Carole Lombard this evening on the wacom. It was going to be a sketch of Clark Gable, but I couldn’t find a photo I wanted to draw (steal).

My apologies…

…if you are visiting this site right now.

For one thing, there’s nothing here.


What is the Law?

No. Spill. Blood.

Who makes the rules?

Some. One. Else.

That’s right.

I wish there was a system already available for this project.


Concept image from 2005

This is a concept image I drew in 2005. It was done to proper comic art page specs (i.e. proper size, bleeds, etc). It was done mostly for testing layouts, resizing and scanning techniques, and the like.

The death of a thousand little things…

Whatever the hell that means. First thing that popped into my head, really.

I’ve updated the site with the latest WordPress install, and also the theme is now Comicpress 2.1. And just think, only 6 months ago I was complaining there wasn’t a system already available for this project…

Recently had a long chat with a friend about the direction of the webcomic (what webcomic, I hear you ask?) and in particular the characterization of a particular villain.  A lot of good ideas, and a lot of progress.  A character that I was marginalizing (and perhaps had subconsciously decided to drop from the storyline altogether) has now assumed not only a more vibrant, focused role, but even I would say a pivotal role in the story.


Merc sketch 3

The so-called “shadowguy” merc. A very, very rough concept sketch.
