@egrissom Hey, thanks! I didn't know that was a thing until today!

Early sketches of Bryce and Yoshi. Bryce hasn’t changed too much, but Yoshi got a little more colorful. All the early sketches of her were unintentionally too goth.
All my notes for Armstrong are contained within this composition notebook. There’s a years worth of notes and terrible, terrible ideas.
I always want to make notebooks with cool handwriting, little sketches, maps, charts, etc… like Indiana Jones, but they just come out looking like an unreadable pile of crap.
2 months, 32 sheets of bristol board, a few ink cartridges, 8.85 GB of files, a couple all nighters, and a newborn baby later and I’m happy to say that Armstrong: Day of the Unliving Alive is online!

Thanks!

Why did I commit to a release date? That just makes me have to do work.
And WHY did I commit to a date AFTER the end of the world tomorrow?? I doubt there will even be internet after tomorrow. What happens to an online comic when there’s no “online” anymore?
Online comic – online = comic. Huh… that answer was easy. A little TOO easy… Imma go investigate.
32 pages inked and ready to be scanned after a LONG weekend. The guitar pick is a reference for size. It’s a pretty crappy reference.
I’m not good at sharing feelings so instead, I leave you with this video that says it better than I ever could. If this video were a dream of mine, I’d NEVER want to wake up. Serious – I’d be the guy at 57 seconds.
Extremely interesting video from Neil Gaiman about Copyright Piracy and the Web.
Digital magazine subscriptions are starting to get it. Here’s a great post about The New Yorker’s iPad pricing.
In short, it’s $1.99 an issue – $19.99 per year.
Seems reasonable. Magazines make their money from advertising, which is why print subscriptions run $10 a year (cheap). With digital, added features are possible (interactive stories, video, audio, links, etc) so if those features are fully utilized, I’d be willing to shell out $19.99 a year.
It’s like buying a tv episode on iTunes versus a season pass.
