I’ve had quite a few weeks of amazing Holiday fun, Christmas spent in Tennessee eating fattie foods and (re)watching Arrested Development with my parents. Two, far too short days with my awesome friend and fellow comic artist; Jen. She came all the way from Japan to visit. I stole her food.

I’ll miss it, but not too much, I have another adventure coming up fast. This one is in San Jose for a week. I think I’m going to go visit that haunted Navy ship, the USS Hornet.

I installed a pretty nice little gallery plugin for WordPress, you can check that out with the Fan art gallery.  Skarlette donated a really nice drawing of Five just in time for that test. PS: Everyone should draw comics.

No comment.

Okay, we’re back to /nearly/ normal now. I lost the rotational banner for the site links, and some of my sidebar things, BUT the database is back up, and ordering correctly.

Other new bonuses are, I can finally reply to comments, and I’ve added a gallery for fanart, and my own comic realted doodles.

This page is boring, and I couldn’t fix it up much more to fit the needed dialouge. I sat a bit late to start drawing my page for Saturday, and I see that I never even finished doodling the thumnails sometime last year. So I was quite at a loss as to what I wanted to go in the now dialouged over blank area.

Monday’s update is still up in the air. There might be a page, there might not. Depends on what time I get home from my trip to Vermont on Sunday night, from which I will be then flying home the following morning. It’s a small gap of motivation.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable holiday time over next week, which will hopefully not involve burning your home down by flash frying turkey. That’s always been a concern of mine, that my friends might do that, so don’t.

This page as was a bit late due to massive ice storm. Start of a new chapter, and some old faces returning.

It’s with great regret I have to inform everyone that today’s page will be late.

I just spent the last 48 hours without power due to a massive ice storm that hit New Hampshire pretty hard, and my area; Derry the worst.

We JUST now got our power back, but the house is still a frosty 40 degrees inside, making work rather hard.

In all likelyhood I will have the page done tonight, for a Sunday update. Monday should not be affected at all.

I’d like to also note, I still want snow.  Rain and ice storms don’t cut it.

And a rough end to Chapter 10, but things are going to get a lot rougher from here on out.  I also really enjoy when I get to end a chapter for the last page of a weekend update, better than starting the next week with it.

I’ve been pushing around the idea of finally putting ot a printed copy of BRINK for sale. I don’t really want to deal with shipping copies myself, so my main option is Lulu at this point.

I’ve done some price checks, and if I wanted to cram the first three chapters into a digest sized book, it would come to roughly $30. I find that a bit high myself as a book buyer, but at the same time I feel like only selling single chapters is hardly enough to make a book, even if it brings the price down.

So I want some vote power here.

This was one of those pages that I started late, was hating pretty badly, then it was 3am and it looked good. Only I don’t remember working on it. I’m not the only one that has these sort of pages am I?

I like the paint. I enjoy getting to paint pages a lot. I look back at the start when I was planning to do this whole crazy comic thing in only pen. I can’t imagine what things would have been like had I gone with that path.

Almost the end of the chapter. 10 was a long one, 11 is going to be rather intense, I’m excited to start on some of the pages.

A conflict of head friends.  I’ve run into people in my lifetime that I just can’t physically be around, beacuse I get that same feeling, the looming presence of something big and toothy hanging out around them.

I was away at a convention last weekend, so there was no pages, and I failed to make a comment letting this be known ahead of time. Sorry. I blame being sick right before the flight.

Anyway, back to normal for a bit, then unexpectely my parents have decided I’ll be visiting them for a bit over the Holidays. Like the previous years, I’m running a donation drive, so I can afford to take some time off of my other art related work to pencil out enough BRINK pages to cover the time I’m visiting. This means an uninterupted update timeframe, plus more bonus stuff as well.

Feel free to use the little ‘ChipIn’ dongle over on the left there to donate.  If the goal is met, I’ll do a nice big full color wallpaper along with an extra page for week I’m bumming around Tennessee.

Edit: I have no idea why the Widgit is not updating with the current donations. For serious. We’re at 10% of the goal, yeah!

Not my most favorite page, a bit clunky after the resize from thumbnail.

Yup, back to normal. I enjoyed getting to draw the wheelie chair.

Welcome to the new host. I’ve been wanting to set up a domain just for comics, so now Paper-Fangs is live. Right now only BRINK is being hosted there, but I have plans to finally start up a second story of mine.

I’ve also touched up some plug ins for WordPress, one of which is this neat Poll system, and better organization for the Chapters.

Someone a little familiar there?

Oh look at that..

I’ve added in some nice little categories for each chapter, along with areas for the bonus stories, and ask a character pages.

I need to refill the images, and upload them, but once that’s done, everything can easily be accessed over on the right bar.

Nice break, now let’s get moving.  This is making reference back to page 108.

Alright, all the past pages are now re-archived on WordPress.  If you happen across a missing page, please let me know. This script requires I had entered each date exact, and with nearly 200 pages, there’s a chance I missed one or two on the way.

I will keep the old HTML archive up until I’ve added the bonus comics here. However, now all links will be sent here instead.

I’m not a CSS wizard, so this is the layout for now, until I figure out what to do with it.

Hey guys, this is a test page for comipress. Not sure if I’ll be switching over fully to this as the whole of BRINK’s site, but it will be used for the archive in the future.

Comment away, test the hell out of it.

This has to be the number one question asked to me about the comic, where does she get that name from? Stay tuned to find out..

Yeah, now that’s some logic..I kinna wonder how she’s stayed alive this long.

I like the lose feeling of this page a lot.

Pot, kettle, black?

I dunno, I really like that last panel a lot. I think I’m really starting to get the feel of the comic down with the coloring. Five is also violent.

I should have added a looming shadow in panel one..

Remember, this is the past. I don’t think that was too clear,  bad writing on my part.

This whole scene was ill fated, I ended having a Painter crash for nearly every page in it. Devin leaves notes all over his house for himself, but I don’t think he ever notices them afterward..

I also leave notes around that I fail to remember. I need note notes.

Head poke. Not much else to say.

I do love the interactions between Devin and Five, a lot.

That some awesome voice of reason, go majestic spirit animal!

Devin really does have some aggression in him, it just takes a lot to push that outward.

This is the page where it all clicked, refining the art, without killing my pencils. Ah, poor Devin, no one ever believes you do they?

Too bad Devin is all oddly sized in that top panel.

That last tiny panel was my first stab at cleaning up backgrounds more. Five is quite the chain smoker, and no one gets in her way of doing it either.

For all the bad art and crappy fonting, the one thing I am thankful for it, is that I don’t ever have to rewrite this comic. The characters are perfect to what I had in mind, and I don’t have to change anything from the earlier pages.

I don’t care for the dialogue here.

Or fonts.
