Okay, looks like I’m set to start posting Monday the 16th three times a week. I picked up some ad space at Project Wonderful so hopefully that will generate some traffic as well.
For any new comers, Ralf the Destroyer is an all ages strip I developed for daily syndication (a long road I’m still traveling) after assisting on Nancy for 6 years. To that end it is created entirely by hand (no vector lines, no fonts etc) just india ink on bristol board. It is a labor of love and I hope that comes through the artwork.
I just added a character page (see top menu bar) on today. Initially I wasn’t going to post it since it’s still so early in the strip and many of the characters have not yet been introduced. There’s a bit of info about the bigger picture part of the story-line, so I guess this is a bit of a preview if you’d like something to look forward to.
Originally (way back when) I had hoped to make my whole webcomic site in Flash8. It was quite an under taking and I was literally learning as I went. The main idea was to allow me to upload and edit content without uploading a whole new site and provide and interesting interactive experience for you the readers.
Unfortunately I never finished it completely and it seemed that WordPress/Comicpress was the way to go. Never-the-less, the character section was done and worked well as a stand alone page (as far as I can tell). Just so you know, there are a couple sound effects for mouse overs/clicks. I may still look for a way to finish it in the future if readers find it enjoyable. Let me know what you think.
This is a sketch I did of a species called Noropian Gorts. I was trying to come up with something terrifying but not in the typical way. Most go for scary teeth, but I recalled watching a tv show about “The Night Stalker” and my wife commented on how creepy his hands were because they were so unusually large. This has always stuck with me so all my really creepy characters have giant hands. If you look carefully, you can see this creature also has a second set of hands for more technical work. To get an idea of scale, the ship Ralf is using to destroy Earth was originally a Noropian flagship. Ralf must climb three or four steps to get up to the control panels, the same control panels Gorts use the second set hands at their waist to operate.
