I’m still playing with the idea of doing some kind of color. Tell me what you think!

Well that’s the end of Chapter 1, finally. Took me long enough, right?
So I’ll fully admit that I’m still overbooking myself. I’ve been doing this for a long time – committing to things as if I didn’t have to go to work on weekdays or anything like that. I’ve got SO MUCH I want to do, but realistically, not a lot of time to do it in.
While I enjoy doing my comics, I still also need to do other things to keep me marginally sane – Gaming is a big part of that, socializing, etc.
Anyway, I’m sure you’re not interested in my whining about time, you just want to know when the next update is gonna happen, right?
So here it is: I’ve got to make a small book and some other minor art before I can really get back to doing zombots with a regular schedule. But fret not – in the mean time, I’m going to be adding art, sketches and other stuff between now and then. I’m also going to use this time to set a firm update schedule. I know I’ve been aiming at Thursdays, and while it’s convenient, I don’t think it really helps my readership.
So – my new goal is Monday/Tuesday updates. This gives me the rest of the week and weekend to finish a page and a chance to upload other incidental art.
So don’t give up, there’s more stuff coming. If all goes well, I’ll have a mini-comic that helps explain the origin of the Zombots and other happy cool stuff.
What indeed, Alex?
This weekend I’ll be heading up towards KintokiCon in Sacramento. I’ll only be visiting on Saturday, but I’ll be bringing sketch cards for anyone who’s interested and will draw Zombots and HHFM characters on demand 
Jeremy Rathbone’s Release the Zombots! project is almost complete and he has scheduled his release party for July 9th! Anyone can show up (again in Sacramento); there is a Facebook open invitation up. I’m one of the featured artists and you’ll be able to buy a Zombots sketchbook from me and get a free original sketch along with it!
Hope to see you there!
FINALLY COMPLETE!
Again, sorry for the delay, but here it is in all its horrific glory…
Fanime was unbelievably cool, so many great people!
I’ll tell you what, this page kicked my ass around the block a couple times trying to get it done. That said, I really enjoyed drawing it – despite the fact the poor guy just doesn’t end well.
You have to wonder what Alex is thinking.
This weekend, I’ll be at Fanime in Artists Alley – Come visit Katgirl Studio and I at table 80 and 81!
We’ll be selling Zombots Sketchbook 1.0 and giving away sketches!
Two pages in two weeks. Brutal.
In other news, I was reading an article about a guy who made four Lego Delta robots: 5 months to build and program these robots, Shep says he thinks this is the limit of what he can accomplish with Lego Delta robots. All in all, pretty amazing stuff… take a peek:
There’s one in every group…
*IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT*
OK, once again, sorry for the delay. After talking to some other cartoonists at Wondercon, I realized I don’t have to post fully complete pages.
Yeah, that was a “duh” moment.
The second “duh” moment was when I realized because I’m not super-happy with how the coloring is looking, and as a result, I slow down and procrastinate… usually until I find an answer. Unfortunately, because I was stalled on the coloring part, I wasn’t working through the process and looking for a solution.
So here it is: Page updates will be the pencil sketches (or better, depending on how I’m feeling) until I figure out a better method. Lettering will be done, so no worries there. This should allow me to get back on track, because I like pencils and inks… not so much with the color, tho.
OK, that said, let’s get back on track.
In other news, Jeremy Rathbone’s Zombot project is less than 3 DAYS FROM ENDING!! At the time of this writing, he’s 88% funded with 71 hours to go. I’ve talked to him a few times, and I really look forward to successfully backing this project. I think that it’s a great match for my own project and Jeremy and I can work together. The more Zombie Robots, the better.
So go and pledge! Then come to the party in July! It’ll be fantastic. Jeremy and I will both thank you. I might even draw you a Zombot card as a thank you as well (shhh, it’s a seeeeecret).
Of course, I may just be attached to his project because of a mysterious cosmic conspiracy. Remember this page?
Yes… Rathbone.
I recently met Jeremy Rathbone of Munkie Revolution, and saw that he’s got a Kickstarter up to help him complete his Release the Zombots project. Go and give him money (I did)! I also bought one of his Zombot prints too. If you’re not convinced this project needs backing, LOOK AT THIS:
