Another page completed during the pandemic. Every cloud has a silver lining…

So this site has been sitting here waiting for me to do something with it for the last year. What can I say, I’m a slow content creator. Since I posted the Psychemaster pages, I’ve recieved over 500 spam messages to my site. All within the last 2 months. What the hell is that all about? Maybe the Obama administration needs to retask those drones and annihilate these spamming sons of bitches. The world wide web is a vast sewer of shady assholes trying to get you to buy their perfectly safe and legitimate viagra.
The good news is is that I’ve finished the coloring the cover of the first issue of The Guardian Elite! Yay. I’m still deciding whether or not to publish the rest of the comic in color or black and white. I’d like to see it in color but my skills are week in this area of production. We’ll see.
Stay tuned for the first exciting pages of The Guardian Elite.
New logo text designed by my friend Cullen O’Day! He actually did a much fancier version, but it just wouldn’t fit the header space. The full logo will appear on the cover of issue one…which is coming soon! I swear.
I may have locked down a colorist for the comic, as well. Happy days indeed. Of course it all depends on whether he wants to commit to the full run or not. In the meantime, I’m still crafting the pages as if it’s going to be black and white.
On the cool new tech side, I just started using my new Cintiq! Sombitch is HUGE! Like a digital drawing table. So awesome! Still trying to figure out a good place for the keyboard, the desktop is getting a little cramped! First world problems, I know.
As I better familiarize myself with this new site posting comics, scheduling regular updates, and managing chapters and archives, be prepared to see some really bad stuff. Embarrassing relics from decades past. Maybe not bad, just naive and inexperienced. Innocent stuff from the mind of an 80s kid, not the jaded ramblings of an old man. Plenty of that to come, you’ll see!
Next comic update will most likely be a test of scheduled postings. Maybe the Killer Carrot or McVenge! Neither of them fit into the Guardian Elite Universe, but you’ll get over it, I hope.
Good freaking god! I’ve never been through so much web suffering in my life. Three days of dicking around with WordPress and the less than intuitive Comic Easel plugin and associated theme. I’ve wiped and reinstalled WordPress four times already, since every little mistake seemed to hang around and haunt me. Hours of frustration. Bottles of wine were consumed. Worried neighbors choosing to walk on the other side of the street just in case the ravings of the lunatic in this house may spread his insanity by proximity alone.
Alas, the nightmare that is CSS and “user friendly” WordPress has finally come to this…what you see before you in all its prefabbed glory. The Guardian Elite Webcomic site is now live. Take a look around. I’ll be adding things frequently.
