Ralf Dot Com on GoDaddy

by Scott Lincoln on October 8, 2012 at 1:39 pm

Well the good news is that the “Save Ralf the Destroyer (dot) com” art sale achieved its primary goal of raising enough money to keep the hosting plan for the site!

I would like to sincerely thank those who purchased art and those who donated as well. I realize that times are difficult for everyone and that this campaign was pretty short on notice, so I very much appreciate those who were quick to help out. The strips should be arriving soon for those who took advantage of the sale and for those who donated, I have sent a small token of my appreciation.

I apologize to the GoComics/Sherpa readers for not being able to renew my account there yet. I still have utilities that need addressing first, but I haven’t forgotten you.

Lastly, for those who are still interested in purchasing an original please contact me by email and for those wishing to donate the Paypal button is available in the left column.

Thank you for your support! Scott Lincoln

Help – Ralf the Destroyer.com

I’m having a limited time art sale! I need to raise some capitol to keep the site up and buy food and heating oil as this past summer has proven to be more economically depressed than I expected. GoDaddy needs their hosting fee by October 1st and I have run out of money.

So I am offering original Ralf the Destroyer Daily strip art (usually $80 – $100) for the insanely low price of $50.00! The transactions will be through Paypal. You can either hit the donate button and put the name and date of the strip in the “message” field along with your mailing address or contact me via email (scott@ralfthedestroyer.com) and then use the button.

Additionally, I would be happy to create commissioned pieces of inked single characters of your choice (not just mine, but keep it clean) on 8″x 11″ board for $25 or any two characters on an 11″x 17″ board for $40.

If you want to just donate like some readers have done in the past, just go straight to the “donate” button in the left column, every little bit helps. My options are limited and so is the time, after October 1st it’s all over.

As always, thank you for your readership and support!

If you missed it, here’s an interview I did with Tom Racine during an all day live broadcast marathon for the Tall Tale Radio, Indiegogo fundraising campaign. Tom was a very lively and enthusiastic host and made the whole experience quite enjoyable.

Interviews Two

Unexpectedly, Ralf the Destroyer is getting some press on two fronts. I was contacted by Todd McElmurry, who is a contributor for Webcomic Alliance, letting me know he had been reading Ralf the Destroyer and wanted to choose it for his “Pick of the Month“. The article is up now on the Webcomic Alliance website and is a very well written and entertaining summary!

The second interview has been in the chute for a while. Kurt Sasso of TGT Media had originally had me scheduled to do an interview with him on the TGT Media podcast in November but moved it up to September 1st! Kurt is a generous host and I very much appreciated the opportunity to join him on his show and talk about Ralf!

This was my first audio interview, so of course there were some technical issues and I sounded like I’d been drinking Mountain Dew by the pint with Cappuccino chasers, but Kurt was great about it and I would not hesitate to be a part of the show again. The Ralf the Destroyer podcast (#269) is available on the TGT site and on iTunes.

Newsprint

Is it Ralf on pulp or is it Memorex? Hey I just figured out the coloring effect that I like for Ralf the Destroyer. Everyone knows that Ralf the Destroyer was designed for newspapers, which is why I and many readers seem to prefer Black and white vs color. However, I am a huge fan of newsprint and I even like the effect it has on color comics.

I found some Photoshop tricks that let me convert my color files to a pretty authentic pulp look. I’m not sure when I might use it but I thought I’d run it by you (the readers) to see what you thought of it. Just click the thumbnail to see the full size image. Maybe I’ll use it for the Sunday strips in the future, please comment and let me know if you think it looks cool or if it’s not your cup of tea.

Just for comparison is this would be the same strip, un-dithered:
