Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Cynical Pirate
Based on a true emotion.


Commentary:
Bah, it looks much better in real life, but I had to scan to organize it. Also, I had to use some effects to get rid of the smudges. So many sacrifices... You may also notice that despite tracing each scene over and over, they look different. Bah, I need to learn how to do these things without a drawing tablet.

And this was made to bring me some comfort.

And yes, the name was taken off of Psicosis.

Commentary:
I'm making this through blood-shot eyes. I'll deliver another comic eventually. No further mention except that I don't really care about the facts.

Commentary:
More subliminal messaging and joking around. There's also a lot of metaphors being used. Even if you don't understand any of it, it's still fun to read I suppose.

Note: The numbers have meaning as well. Kind of.

Experimental Art:


Commentary:
Messing around with various comic techniques right now and I've finally learned how to use speech bubbles. All I need to work on is art. As you can see the left leg is a bit messed up. But it's a test so no worries.

Modified Art:



Commentary:
The drawing looks great in real life, but once you scan it up obvious problems occur. Oh well, nothing that a few modifications won''t do. The characters are Kari and Clyde. Despite how they''re dressed, they aren''t from modern times exactly. Must ink some time, but when I ink drawings get ruined. Bah.

Commentary:
I'll admit this seems uncharacteristic of me. But I'm willing to make fun of a lot of things using a lot of methods. As long as it reflects some kind of actual meaning to it. Meanings of which I refuse to explain though. That'd take away the fun of the comic. A majority of you guys will only be enjoying this one (or not) from one leve, and maybe one or two of you will enjoy it on a higher level. Oh well.

Oh, and I decided to go with a comic featuring set characters. Each character has a story that has pretty much already happened and they live past the aftermath of each of their tales. Pretty much, it'll be random funny, but the characters such as Clyde (guy in this comic) and Kari (girl in this comic) each have some kind of storyline they've already lived. You learn that on the way. I decided to do this because if I ever get busy, there'd be no story to end. And if I do start an actual story, chances are the effect of it will be meaningless unless you read it all at once.

Oh and I rushed the shading a lot. It shows up too and is pretty mangled up. The art itself is really experimental. This entire thing is experimental. So if it looks a bit sloppy, it'll get better in time. I would have finished this better if this whole Kid Chaos vs Yuri Yurievich match got finished sooner. Have to talk to Tust still...

Art:

Name: Mr. Sin
Powers: Infinite increases in speed, agility, power, etc. And believes it is borrowed from God, though many hold the strong belief that he is merely a mutant with the ability to increase his physical abilities through his sheer willpower.
Weapons: Forgiveness(Small) and Damnation(Big).
Background: He is a man who wields the blades of God and believes himself to be God's representation. Many feel he is unwell though he does seem to be very sane in conversation. His blade Forgiveness is used to forgive others of their sins and Damnation is used to send them to hell. However, regardless of which is used, he must kill himself. This is why he openly marks himself as a sinner, personally volunteering to go to Hell in the name of God. He never asks the lord to forgive him.

Commentary:
My first non-anime drawing. Though if I took the nose away it probably would be an anime drawing. The evolution of it is pretty interesting. I meant for him to become a grim reaper/phantom but instead changed him into a ninja missing a limb and then changed him into this. I had to erase the arms a lot and spent most of the time thinking of a pose for him. I went ahead with this and it took around 40 minutes to sketch and a few hours to finalize. The drawing I last posted actually only took around 45 minutes. Which isn't bad since I've been steadily getting better. Usually it takes me four hours a day minimum to get in a good sketch, so I'm happy with the result except for the lettering, I'm bad at writing. Comic is coming.. I just need to scan it and set it up. Should be a lot better looking than the last one.

Commentary:
With the guilds being down I decided to take a long break and just posted the second comic now. It's been done for about two weeks and now I have to start on the third one. Anyway, I decided to follow up with some short stories as a compromise between my indecisiveness and my personal preference.
