Puck 380 - Even Naughtier Nightie

So here's the original early colored draft of the last panel in Puck #380.  The nightie as originally designed was just ... too over the top, even for Phoebe.  I tamed it for the actual comic in the following ways:

1) I colored in the center panels because having them be cut-outs was just too crazy.

2) I brough...

Behind the Scenes - Part 4 (May 2016)

This one says part 3, again, but it's ACTUALLY part 4! 

Here I put the finishing touches on the finishing touches, including a critical step in all my creations: patching things up after they don't work due to terrible planning.  

Behind the Scenes - Part 3 (May 2016)

More of the inside look at the process!  If this whole process looks rather time-consuming, trust me: it is.  

Behind the Scenes - Part 2 (May 2016)

Here I get into the scary world of vector.  It's what makes my process unique, or good or for ill.  

Behind the Scenes - Part 1 (May 2016)

So this was my attempt at a 'how-to' feature exploring my painful creative process, which contains way more steps than anyone else's creative process, because I'm (a) a Luddite and (b) a moron.

Anyway, it's also the only time I've put up pictures of me in connection to the comic.  Not that that's a selling feature or anyt...

Semi-Obscure Nintendo - Tyler as Disco Kid (Apr. 2016)

I didn't expect the new character to be my favorite when the new 'Punch-out!!!' came out, but Disco Kid definitely stole the show.  Especially his second form, shown here.

Though I wouldn't ever wear this outfit willingly.

Semi-Obscure Nintendo - Puck as Creepy Zelda Fairy (Apr. 2016)

This fairy design is iconic and disturbing.  Any heterosexual male who's ever played one of the above-mentioned Zelda games can attest to the fact that the fairies are simultaneously sexy and terrifying.

(Hyrule Warriors admittedly tilted the scales heavily into the sexy territory, what with the lack of low-polygonal weir...

Incentive Control Tower All-Call

Hey Guys.  I'm coming up with stuff for March incentives, and right now I'm drawing a blank.  I could do something seasonal and St. Paddy's Day related, or something entirely different.  

I'm open to suggestions.  Let 'em fly!

Semi-Obscure Nintendo - Daphne as Misty (Apr. 2016)

This is another outfit that looks really cute on a big-headed anime character but looks ... just a little strange on a more realistic body shape.  Either that or I got it wrong.  Which is possible.  

Though honestly, I often see pictures of girls from conventions cosplaying as these types of character...

Semi-Obscure Nintendo (Phoebe as Callie)

This is one of those looks that really doesn't jive well on an actual anatomically correct humanoid.  Just saying.  

Art Deco Phoebe (Mar. 2016)

 This was the second art deco pic done by the talented Vik Jones and stands (along with the other pic in this series) as the only real art I've ever commissioned.  I just love his 1930's art deco style images.

It's nothing at all like my style, w...

Art Deco Puck (Mar. 2016)

This pic was done by the talented Vik Jones and stands (along with the other pic in this series) as the only real art I've ever commissioned.  I just love his 1930's art deco style images.

It's nothing at all like my style, which is what makes it awes...

Pucky Charms (Mar. 2016)

All of March featured guest art from various sources.  This one was from my brother, whose webcomic Fat Bassist features many similar acts of crazy.  

Sprite Club (Feb. 2016)

I had NOTHING to do with this, which probably explains why it's so cool.

The concept was dreamed up by my friend Shan, connected with the comic Exiern , who then commissioned the pic from Sean Harrington, creator of 2017-01-17 14:08:46 +0000 UTC View Post

Phoebruary Full Frontal (Feb. 2016)

February 2016 brought 'Phoebruary', which was an excuse to reuse a few of the voting incentives from previous months that featured Phoebe.  

The only original pic of that month was this one, with the conveniently placed post-it note.    From tease to shining tease, as it were.

We Can Hurt People! (January 2016)

Because there aren't enough 'Rosie the Riveter' parodies out there.

This pic actually didn't start as a 'Rosie the Riveter' parody, actually, but it became one.  And I went with it.  

Doggie and Diggy Dan (Nov. 2015)

Okay, LAST Doggie Dan pic.  I promise.  After this, we're back to the good stuff.  This was the last page of the magnificent Doggie Dan comic, featuring the character of Diggy Dan (my daughter's idea), who appears as a slightly thicker version of Doggie Dan with a backwards baseball cap (my idea).  My visual ...

Chef Doggie Dan (previously unreleased)

Not sure what happened to the pancakes between panel two and panel three.  Also not sure what's wrong with that pot of whatsit in the final image, but it looks ... less than appetizing.

Incentive Control Tower Round Table #2

Hey, my $5+ super patrons!  February's approaching, and I need an idea for a great Valentine-themed pic.  I only have time to generate one image, though, because January is one of the two worst months in the whole calendar for me  in terms of my job.  So I need ideas for a one-off pic, preferably with one cha...

Doggie Dan Drives (previously unreleased)

Nothing beats racing.  As it was, I had a few extra Doggie Dan pages that never made their way onto TWC as voting incentives.  This was one of the extras.

Doggie Dan - In Space! (Nov. 2015)

I like the colors on this one, including the use of fingerprints to create a spacey feel.  We're breaking art barriers here!

Doggie Dan - Cowboy (unreleased)

An unreleased page from Doggie Dan.  It looks like he's using Wonder Woman's golden lasso, according to my daughter's coloring job.

A Very Puck Xmas ... circa 2009!

You're looking at a rare, seldom seen pic from the archives of Puck.  This pic represents the sole Puck-related output created between the years 2001 and 2011.  I took a ten year break, but during that time, the old Puck strips became a bit popular on DeviantArt, and I wanted to give new fans something.

I took the ol...

Doggie Dan, Page 2 (Nov. 2016)

Doggie Dan don't discriminate against cats.  

Something funny is going on with that building.  The bottom ten stories don't have windows.

Doggie Dan - Page 1(?) -Nov. 2015

In case you're wondering, most of the concepts and writing in this story were sort of vaguely directed by my daughter, then refined by me.

Maybe they needed more refining.

You will note that my daughter seems to share my same penchant for colored word bubbles.

Doggie Dan (Nov. 2015)

After being sort of worn out from all those Lego shoots, for November I just decided to put up a comic that I had been making as a joint project with my daughter.  Doggie Dan was co-written by her, and she did the lovely watercolor job, which I honestly like the look of.  The pics are mine.  My best work, obviousl...

Lego Puck - I Ain't Afraid (Oct. 2015)

Here we have Puck in front of a creepy haunted mansion with some Ghostbusters.  This predated the new movie, so we lived in an innocent world where the Ghostbusters hadn't exploded yet into a fiery ball of internet rage.

This was the last of the Lego Puck pics, just in time for Hallowe'en.    

Lego Puck - Rancor Rampage (Oct. 2015)

This one's one of my favorite from this series, featuring two of my favorite Lego 'big figs' squaring off.    Lighting's all wonky, but whatever.  I'm not a photographer.  And it shows.  

Lego Puck - Jabba's Plastic Palace (Oct. 2015)

Master Puck! You're standing on a-

Lego Puck - Han Didn't Shoot First (Oct. 2015)

I like this one.  So iconic!  But with a twist!
