On Comics + Chuck Norris

I said there would be editing. This page is now about Chuck Norris. Scroll down.

There is also a very important question for all Wishmakers, at the end. Read and reply! If there is insufficient feedback the series will not move forward.


Comicky day.

I finished my Sam and Fuzzy contest entry (which I like the end product of very much considering how I rushed it all in about one night).

At first I was all hyped up, then I slacked off and almost forgot about it until Mark reminded me just yesterday. He submitted his own entry, go check it out. Pills!

"There are only three days left to enter the
art contest and make your bid for a special Plaid Edition Sam and Fuzzy book. Don't let the plaid book become your Mr. T mall visit. You'll regret it later!" - Sam Logan

For those of you too lazy to click and find out what a Mr. T mall visit is, being a nice-ish person I am accomodating of your tubby, finger cramped selves.

"You're right, Marge. Just like the time I could have met Mr. T at the mall. The entire day, I kept saying, 'I'll go a little later, I'll go a little later...' And when I got there, they told me he just left. And when I asked the mall guy if he'll ever come back again, he said he didn't know. Well, I'm never going to let something like that happen again!" - Homer

But you should click it anyway. It leads to a priceless collection of Simpsons things!

Remember what I said about people and things like Pook being connected through their hearts? As it turns out... Pooh doesn't have much of a heart. Just fluff and blood.

More comics and quotes tommorow. I am late for sleep. And that Interact IU thingamabob which I *have* done *halfway*.

"Yeah, I eat Nefarions for breakfast. I mean, my Stainless Steel server normal elf protection warrior has to train in the Underworld now! Of course there's such a thing as an Underworld! What do you think the Undercity's part of? There's an Understate and Undercountry too. Duh." - Jun Ian

Important Question for Wishmakers: Wishworld continues in Black and White? This will increase the base quality and production speed. But well, it just won't be in colour any more. Yes or no? Pressure!

nice

Unknown said...

change it to black and white and the previous copies

Peak Sheng said...

wishworld - in color. i prefer quality over quantity.

Anonymous said...

wishworld in b&w will look slightl better than the sam and fuzzy comic posted. that's the quality standard.

Unknown said...

peaksheng, if u want quality, go for b&w. his b&w skills are quite amazing

Anonymous said...

as opposed to my coloring. but it is true. I blame my scanning method.

Unknown said...

my scanning method is worst than yours. I use a webcam of low quality

fernglin said...

B&W gogogo

Jason C. said...

I think I'll have to go with B&W, it'd look more refined, given your ability.

Anonymous said...

I know. it's not even shaded

I like the part where the tentacled thing is about to eat a man.

Anonymous said...

Well everyone says black and white is better and i agree that your black and white drawing are nice

Anonymous said...

I'm asking you because wishworld is a project I'm doing for the community, not myself. These are your characters and their stories.

and chemistry, strangely, is the least of my troubles.

oh and by the way, I think we have twenty one wishmakers or something like that. this motion has to be passed united nations style, which requires 2/3 or 3/4 or something support.

Unknown said...

well mark, when he draws in b&w, it's much better than when he does it in colour. It challenges yours. So in other words, if i say his bw one is quite amazing, urs is too

Sporadic Mindset said...

black and white, and chuck norris rules!

Anonymous said...

look at my last two post names.

twelvetacle high.

twelvetacle high.

I am totally disappointed that no one got that. especially dexter.

those of you who still dont get it, twelve is a number. like eleven. or, yknow, ten

Unknown said...

i got it, i just din tell you

Jason C. said...

...you know, anyone with half a decent mind would never have pointed it out, especially when they know what it refers to.

Unknown said...

ah, man, i would've pointed it out...if i'd come here sooner. here's hoping that you don't actually watch anime where they engage in sex duels.

anyway. go with black and white. i've always kinda liked it better, and anyway, it won't eat up so much of your time.

Anonymous said...

what good is refined b&w if the common man can't tell the difference?

there would be no difference if only a select few can distinguish the skill level. you can take comfort in your own creation I guess, but you will feel underrated forever

Unknown said...

your skill is better in one way than jun ian though it is messy. there are up and downs.

and it doesn't need a common man to not understand poetry. Nowadays, poetry involves in such away, that it's hardly understandable. Is there a flaw to it? How wouldn't we know? It's only one trying to express one's feelings. How about style? Open poetry is now so hard as there are so many forms and so different views to it. I guess even one expert might say it's good and the other might say it's bad. It depends on the people's taste.

I like rhyming poems so here I am.

Unknown said...

btw mark, yours is plain, his is detailed. I like both. Yours is trying to divert to sin city's style, jun ian's is detailed yet understandable not that messy. I won't comment on drawing though

Unknown said...

detailing as in crease and all, crisscross or whatever it is. Those styles of black and white. Shading is one thing but there are other factors which makes bw better which i can't think right now.

Messy as in smudges and such.

Unknown said...

you can smudge ink. If you look clearly at your latest in a program called paint, it's not 100% black and white. there's still a bit of here and there.

crosshatch on colour doesnt look well. Crosshatch is mainly for bw.

"Hatching (hachure in French) and cross-hatching are artistic techniques used to create tonal or shading effects by drawing closely spaced parallel lines."

Unknown said...

and he does it quite well;

Unknown said...

going back to paperwork, you smudge paints, ink a bit and pencils.

Jun ian smudges (the one seen in MSPAINT) doesn't smudge as much and blends better.

I know you can hatch in color. But 80-90% of what i seen do it in bw.

Jun ian cross hatch was seen last year on one of the exam paper.

I know u can crosshatch.

Unknown said...

wait, i've just realised something. There's no black and white skills at all. There's only colouring skills, shading skills, detailing skills, crosshatching skills, lighting skills, sketching skills but there's no black and white skills so this arguement is pointless

Unknown said...

black and white is just it being in black and white, without colours, (though, black and white is considered a colour), i mean, mark, you could do your art in blue ink and it'll still be the same

Unknown said...

"The real challenge to this is deciding what goes black and what goes white" should go under lighting skill with dual colours.

black and white is just how you present it. Such like whether it is in colour or dual colour or single colour with shades.

You can use all the skills i have state in my previous post.

Maybe instead of saying his black and white skills is bad, you might probably concentrate to inking skills which if you did say your inking skills is much better, i'd probably agree.

Jun Ian said...

I think the word you're looking for is monochrome and I thought when I left here this morning there were only 18 comments.

imagine my surprise.

Unknown said...

no, i was stating the various type of presentation: colours, monochrome (thanks JI for that word), duochrome, trichrome such and such

Sporadic Mindset said...

even 18 comments is a lot to me, but this...I want 40 comments as well. Go comment on my blog >_>

Zhen Lim said...

I'd say... Do it in whatever style your creative endeavours bring you on that day.

And erm, not meaning to sound rude since I don't really know you guys and all, but if you think your comic is superior to someone else's, shouldn't you let it speak for itself? Going around trying to convince people of this just seems - no offence - pathetic. And look at it this way, none of the greats had their work recognized by their contemporaries either.

it's not us, per say. only mark likes to talk about how sexy his work is.
