Progress Pictures: Back to Your Foods

I really should have made pictures of myself sitting at my table messing around with glue and macaroni. I felt ridiculous and I'm glad no one was home :)

Back to Your Foods

Now I just need to develop a talent for coming up with funny jokes and I'm set :)

Easter Giveaway!!

Easter has come and gone and I hope you all had an amazing time with friends and loved ones! But even though we're all going back to our boring jobs/schools, there's a small light on the horizon: the passing of Easter means we're doing our very first Holiday Giveaway!

Allow me to explain.

We will create a full body portr...

Hidden Details: Black Vegetarian Rhino with Flip-Flops on Soundcloud

Welcome to the second Hidden Details blog. Since the Detective Pikachu comic from last Wednesday doesn't have that many hidden details (although there are some!), I decided to backtrack a few weeks and write about the Black Panther comic I made earlier this month. Here goes!

Progress Pictures: Gender Detective

In the first frame, you can see screenshots from that Windows 3D Builder thingy. I use that when I think I won't be able to draw the perspective of a room myself, haha. Also, 90% of this comic's atmosphere is the lightning, as you can see i...

Gender Detective

There are a few mysteries even a gruff coffee-addicted Pikachu can't solve.

Hidden Details! Norton Antititan

Hey everyone, welcome to the very first Hidden Details blog! I'm gonna take it easy this week since it's my first time and I wanna be gentle. I'll dive into some details of Wednesday's comic, which was about Avengers: Infinity War... Well, it was really more about the two Infinity War trailers and the fact that Hawkeye was in ne...

Progress Pictures: Norton Antititan

I wanted this comic to be as beautiful as possible because you don't get to draw the Avengers, the Mad Titan AND Edward Norton every day. That's why there's suddenly an extremely detailed background in the third frame. I passed the comic to...

Norton Antititan

And here's a bonus panel for everyone who is thinking about getting smart with me and asking how Thanos got the Soul Stone:

Wooden Update: new year, new Patreon!

Hey everyone! Exciting news!

You'll notice the fancy little header at the top of this post. Heck, if you're actually viewing this on our Patreon page (and not in an email), you'll notice the whole page is looking different. Don't panic though, this is all part of the plan.

While our reach and popularity has been growing ...

Leaked footage of Sakurai restarting the hype train (2018)

TOP SECRET!! My uncle is Nintendo, he send me this.

In all seriousness, yes, this is an animated short. It started out as a comic but it was just too cinematic. It just HAD to move and make noises! So we created this little anime sequ...

Progress Pictures: Black Vegetarian Rhino with Flip-Flops on SoundCloud

Blink and you miss it, but the fifth panel originally contained Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier and Everett Ross as "Broken White Boys™" as one of the underrepresented demographics. However, as I was drawing this, I realized there are ton...

Black Vegetarian Rhino with Flip-Flops on SoundCloud

I really liked Black Panther. It felt fresh. After so many Marvel movies, I thought I had pretty much seen every style and atmosphere they could come up with, but the afro-futurism of Wakanda was so cool and unique to see. Also, I feel obliged to say I hope I don't offend anyone with this comic. I'm certainly not trying to "take...

Happy Pokémon Day progress pictures

This is a weird progress GIF because:

1 - It's Dutch right up until the last frame

2 - I drew them in a random order in one big Photoshop file, so technically there's one step missing where I ordered them in the way you can see in the post below!

Happy Pokémon Day!

Happy Pokémon Day, everyone! I know it's one day late, but it's probably still February 27th SOMEWHERE on this planet so technically I'm still on time!

Phew, 22 years, 807 Pokémon, millions and millions of profit and countless different kinds of Pokémon trainers! Which type of trainer are you?

Flaw in the System progress pictures

The backgrounds were made by Charlot Hagenaars, our new intern! 

Not included in this GIF is a sketch of Morgan Freeman as God (or God as Morgan Freeman). I decided on using the Monty Python depiction of God because I had trouble making Morgan Freeman look panicky.

Flaw in the System

I'm sorry, I was planning on doing a Black Panther comic, but this weekend one of my bunnies passed away very unexpectedly and I haven't been able to come up with funny jokes ever since. So I decided to channel the grief and make a comic about the fact that pets just shouldn't die. Or they should at least live just as long as we...

Costa del Colossus

It’s weird. Comics like these are – by all standards – extremely lame, yet they’re still the only comics that make me actually chuckle. How does humor work?

Lore Galore progress pictures

Haha okay, this GIF makes it look like I drew those backgrounds in a few seconds. I can assure you: that's not the case. It took me a few hours. Should have saved some more snapshots to give you all a better look at the progress.

Lore Galore

As part of my effort to get into Overwatch, I listened to the Know the Lore: Overwatch podcast and I really like the universe Blizzard has created. But it’s a shame it’s all somewhat useless since the matches...

Mind Trucks progress pictures

I discovered a new way to apply shading/highlights, so the progress pictures are a lot shorter these days! Separate frames in the attachment!

Mind Trucks

You wouldn't believe the theories surrounding that truck in middle school! I distinctly remember an "official" Pokémon magazine that claimed you had to bring a lv. 100 Golem with Fissure, Earthquake, Strenght and a fourth move I don't remember. That Golem would be able to move the truck and reveal some foodsteps. If you'd step ...

Arrows and Bows Before Bros

You can see the Older Brother's head shrink in the third frame. No idea why I drew him with such a gigantic head in the first place...

Arrows & Bows Before Bros

Hanzo should change his name to Cain

New Year's Resolutions

Bowser seems like the guy to constantly promise change only to fall back in his evil ways

Comic originally made for Game Mania!

Alakazam Master Race progress pictures

In these progress pictures you can notice a few little details, like:

- I used a Charmander screenshot to create the Pokédex screen
- The derpy tongue was a random addition in the first sketch, but I liked it so I kept it in
- Alakazam kept getting more cables and water cooling pipes. He started out with just a plug in ...

Alakazam Master Race

Only dirty peasants use Titan. Alakazam is where it’s at.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has it all

JK, love u Xenoblade <3

I'm recycling a comic I've made for Game Mania today, because I'm trying to have a little holiday to recharge a bit. Happy new year everybody!

Also, that means no progress pictures this week, because I don't do those with Game Mania comics. Will be back next week!!

The Big 2017 Pop Culture Party progress pictures

It's done! Here's the full process. Separate frames in the attachment.

The Big 2017 Pop Culture Party

HAPPY 100th COMIC EVERYONE!

And Happy Holidays as well! The Big 2017 Pop Culture Party is finished. Thank you all for all the input. I've tried to put in as many characters as I could. Apologies if your suggestion didn't make the cut, but it started to get extremely crowded so I had leave a few out. Also, I want to thank you a...
