Both Greyhawk graphic novels are now available via ComiXology! They are priced significantly cheaper ($2.99 and $4.99) than the print versions and are set up as individual pages, making them easier to read on your tablet or phone. They are 93 and 104 pages respectively, so that's a whole lot of starbuckling fun for very little cash. The second volume does include a new six page epilogue that isn't available online. And the first has the original last page that was left out of the online version. Greyhawk and the Starbucklers, Vol 1: Greyhawk and the Starbucklers of the Caribbean Greyhawk and the Starbucklers, Vol 2: Universe on Fire The Wannabe Pirates…

Hey everybody! I've had to run a quick Kickstarter in order to get more funds to do the DVDs. I found a deal on them last year, that was going to get me 250 of them for just under $200 and now that I'm getting close to doing it, I've found that it's going to be more like $400! Anyway, I've reached my $200 goal to make up for it and have added a stretch goal of $300. As I write this, I'm $19 away from getting it, but if it reaches $300, everyone who gives $1 a more will get a free PDF of the 32-page Wobbling Dead comic book! So here's a chance to support the project for very little money and still get something cool as a thanks! Just go here.

Well, I don't know what to really expect, but got invited by Channel Frederator to join and decided to give it a go. It's a little weird that when you do it, you basically are telling YouTube to take your channel away from you and give it to someone else. Still, they give you access to some info on how to improve your channel's performance and will promote your work. (It will be nice to have that happen.) I'll report back here if I see that it makes a difference in my stats.

I finally got a chance to finally sit down and read "Greyhawk and the Starbucklers of the Caribbean" that i bought when i saw Mark at the Dallas Web Comic Con several months ago. I really enjoyed it! I liked the story, i liked the banter, I liked the characters and the artwork looked great too. I've never actually read a whole graphic novel before so some of the devices that translate cinematic conventions (like a "Voice over") into print baffled me at first but after re-reading a few pages i think I caught on to their cleverness. I can see it being a successful movie. It oughta be! I recommend it and I think there's some way to purchase it in some f…

Trying out amplitude on a model with teeth. It really is serviceable to do the lip synch with Amplitude. It's not full animation to be sure, but for simple things, it can definitely work. It could also be used as a starting place, I think. Go in and edit the mouth shapes in some place (O's, MPB, etc.) and it would look pretty good. jimmytest_s.mov

Nothing big, but I needed a teddy bear for The Wobbling Dead and put together a very quick one. I thought it came out pretty cool, though.

A guy who does Star Trek fan films (and I mean a LOT of them) caught me at the right time about doing a poster for one of his movies. I expected it to have Star Trek stuff on it, but no such luck. :-) I wanted to make something that looked decent, but not require too much work. I'm not sure how much I succeeded on either aspect, but I think it came out pretty cool. Since it was an evil-twin scenario, I only had to model one figure and I actually just used the same model and changed the jacket and hat color in the Cho. I ended up doing two poses and liked the heads in the first one and the bodies in the second, so I rendered out just the heads with an alph…

I meant to make mention of this on the 1st. That's when I started the thread for The Wannabe Pirates. Who knew I'd spend so much time on it and even though it didn't really go anywhere, I did self-publish a 200+ page graphic novel and several comics and even made a sort of animated commercial for it. I doubt the last storyline will ever be finished, but you can still read all the strips on the website. http://thewannabepirates.com

Mark, I've been noting several classic comic books and animated films that have reminded me of you and 'The Wannabes' lately thoughts on what I've see. This isn't to distract you but perhaps to inspire you and suggest there were others who have paved the way and been through similar experienced. There have certainly been many. Here's a fun one from Frank Frazetta: http://cartoonsnap.blogspot.com/2011/03/fr...-daffy-and.html ...and not quite a pirate but the origin of Popeye reminded me of Flemm's initial quest to sail to sea. I find it fascinating that he originally appeared as only a secondary character in the Thimble Theater comic strip. It sure did…

I see today's Google logo is celebrating Star Trek by changing the Google letters to Trek characters. Clicking on the hotspots takes you through a short (but humorous) adventure. It make me think of Stalled Trek and our own famous Mark Largento. https://www.google.com/ (Looked for the link to the permanent logo area but couldn't find it)
