Ashcan Project

Posted on January 9, 2010 by ScottLincoln

I’m finishing up a side project tentatively called “Ralf the Destroyer: Chronicles of Xyo” Issue #1, it’s a black and white, ashcan comic book (about 8″x 5″) with (hopefully) a color cover.

When I started developing the story of Ralf I wanted to make sure I had enough material to keep up with daily syndication for about 11 years, a daunting task. The reason for this was from Lee Nordling’s book Your Career in Comics where there was a quote saying that comics didn’t become profitable until this point. That was many moons ago and it seems now a days a five year contract is the norm with syndicates and 10 years is more like the life span of many newer comics rather than their jump off point.

[ {Ralf: Not really, I like being alone.} {Zorphah: So what were you looking for?} ]

[ {Ralf: TRUE LOVE I think.} {Zorphah: You can't find true love WITHOUT people!} ]

[ {Ralf: That it's REALLY easy to get LOST in there!} ]

Reddick Strikes Again!

Posted on December 30, 2009 by ScottLincoln


Well I have to say my holiday was made just a little bit brighter when I received a note from David Reddick letting me know he posted a couple of sketches he did of Ralf the Destroyer on his “Legend of Bill” website.

Dave is a great cartoonist and you may recognize his other strips, “Rod & Barry” and “Gene’s Journal” as well. His drawings always look like he has a great time drawing them and this was no exception! Thanks Dave!

[ While I was in suspended animation, I did something new... I DREAMT. ]

[ It was in these dreams I started asking serious questions... "Why am I here?" "What is my purpose?" ]

[ I mean I could accept even a small part in it things as long as it was a true and meaningful one. ]

[ Eh, who am I kidding? Being only a small part would have been a huge disappointment. ]

[ {Zorphah: Was it a lonely time for you?} {Ralf: No, I've always been an introspective sort.} ]

Transcript

Video Trailer

Posted on December 2, 2009 by ScottLincoln

Hey there! Just posted a promotional video trailer to the “About the Comic” page (see link in top nav bar) for anyone who hasn’t seen it. I made this a few years back when I was using Flash 8 and had just started shopping my comic around the syndicates. I purchased a great sound track for it (which totally makes the video) from a royalty free music site called Shockwave Sound, so make sure your speakers are turned up!

Transcript

[ Okay, I'm here to destroy Earth; I've got the gun and the mandate... All I have to do is push this button to start the sequence. ]

[ I'm going to do it... I'm going to do it... NOW! No, NOW! Now! No, really, NOW! ]

[ I wish my conscience and my ambition had more in common. ]

Transcript

[ Poised over Earth in this expansive dreadnaught, I wonder about the task I've been assigned... ]

[ My natural distrust of others, along with the ease and expense of this mission, seem a bit unsettling. ]

[ I should probably just trust the council, destroy Earth and be done with it. And yet... ]

[ *sigh* Nothing slows down the wheels of progress like paranoia. ]

Transcript

[ Here I stand, Ralf the Destroyer, poised to obliterate a whole world. In the silence of this massive war ship, I contemplate Earth's future. ]

[ Are its people consumed with the destruction of each other, their world and galaxy? From here it seems so beautiful... ]

[ I guess beauty is really in the eye of proximity. ]
