NEW VOTEREWARD!!!

2012-03-06T19:11:00.001-08:00

Now that I got your attention...

NEW VOTEREWARD!!!!

I know... I've been awful with the updates... Silly job, taking all day and night of my life.

... Ack.

So I herd you din't get a January votereward...

2012-01-15T22:36:00.000-08:00

Also, that maybe you liek mudkips, but, unfortunately, you don't get 'em either.

So, yeah, January, I couldn't get enough time to do votereward... Wished I could blame work, but apparently, other comic artist have full-time jobs AND draw comics on time. Bet they be all going on TARDIS back in time. TARIDSes? TARDIS's?

Anyways. Here is the deal: Next month and until the month ends, or until people stops suggesting characters, I'll make the RULE 63 month!

For those of you who aren't privvy to these internet rules thingamajig, the gist of rule 63 is that, for any character out there, there is an opposite gender version of it.

SOOOO, if you'd like to see the opposite gender version of a character of the Mint Whelp Saga webcomic, you can suggest them RIGHT here, in this post.

Some considerations, though:

-No Karenina rule 63'd. That would be the Slayer, basically. :p
Some considerations, though:

-If you get only a sketch from your suggestion, I'm afraid that that's all you'll get. I haven't got that much time nowadays

-The votereward will be updated weekly, so, please be gentle if I miss a deadline :p

Now, be suggesting stuffs.

Sooooo

2011-12-22T10:47:00.000-08:00

Yeah, the reason I've been late with the comics, aside of personal stuffs, is that I'll be, from now onwards, within the world of people that have a job.

Sooo, expect comics to be late every once in a while, and any projects regarding books and stuffs postponed until... well, until I have any free time to spend that is not focused on comicses. :p

Expect this week's Friday's comic to be on time though.... Yaaaay :d :d :d

Uggh

2011-11-13T22:23:00.000-08:00

Comic will be late for a while. Had several social stuffs I had to attend to, and I couldn't do comic this weekend.

I long for the days we had buffer _:(

NEWER VOTEREWARD!!!

2011-11-02T00:25:00.000-07:00

This time it has 3 characters dressed.... In not their usual costumes!!!

Ah... Aside of work making it hard to be up-to-date with the comic, everything is just fine.

So, what do you people think of the current chapter? You can tell me you love it. You can tell me you hate it. You can tell me I should stop living.

I, well, think the chapter has gone a bit too long, but chalk it up to me not being able to tell how long a chapter has gone on due to me basically drawing as the day comes :p

VOTEREWARD!!!!

2011-10-01T02:09:00.000-07:00

You know the drill, we got a new votereward, please vote, we are so lonely and needy.

Also, changed the blog design! Tell me if it is too confusing or something. I kind of find it confusing, but then again, I'm a terribly old man.

Someday in October, I get a birthday. Soooo... I dunno, guess I'll do a pic to commemorate the event, like, someday :D

NEW VOTEREWARD!!

2011-08-31T21:44:00.000-07:00

Sorry I haven't been updating the comic properly on time, but... well, let's say that having to return home at 23:00 PM and having to wake up at 4:00 AM to cook foodness for the family isn't exactly doing wonders to my schedule.

ANYWAYS! You ain't reading this just to hear my whine! You want to know when will I stop with this Fechi-to-human trend the voterewards are having, no? Welp, only one more month of this and we will be off to greener pastures :d

This tme though, I'll let you guess who the person in the current votereward is: You won't know, mainly because she hasn't been properly introduced yet! I AM A CHEATERING BASTARD! MWA HAH HAH HAH!!!

...I need some sleep.

So... yeah...

2011-08-17T22:13:00.000-07:00

The reason I was late with the comic is that my PC suffered a breakdown. While this sometimes happens, unfortunately, this time it happened when I have no buffer to cover for those terrible days.

I'll make it up to you somehow. I just need some free time. And time to myself, too.

Comic will be late

2011-08-16T23:24:00.000-07:00

NEW VOTEREWARD!!!

2011-08-01T21:41:00.000-07:00

This time you'll never guess who they are. Come on, guess. Guess. Guess.

Anyways, Many things have happened... But, the most important one is: They cancelled the MegaMan Legends 3 Project. Capcom says that the fans weren't showing enough enthusiasm about it.

I guess they kinda expected to suddenly sell it and cause hype like their most sellable titles. I guess they didn't understand that, basically being a cult classic, MegaMan Legends 3 was pretty much being made for a niche of fans, rather than for the mainstream. It is an understandable position; when it comes to industries shelling out mad cash, you want to get a profit.

BUT, that is not the same thing as "the fans weren't showing enough enthusiasm". Unless they wanted the niche of fans to go around murdering people as sacrifices to Mega Man Legends 3, I believe that people voting for designs, offering ideas on gameplay they want to see, submitting enemies and NPC's design and so forth does mean that the fans were showing enthusiasm.

Theeen again, I'm usually starving for attention like a hungry kid, so I may not be seeing it in the proper context and size.

Ah well, I poured my two wood cents, and, realized I won't have to buy a 3DS anymore :p

Aaahhh!!! I just realized something!

2011-07-27T16:26:00.000-07:00

The current Chapter is, as I'm typing this, 150 comic pages long. It is at 23 comic pages from beting the longest chapter in this comic --which is the whole thing with Jerred going through the mountains to meet his Dad and get his new sword, AKA Chapter 13: A Hero's Ordeals--

Aaaand, I have yet to solve any of the plot points of this chapter :p. I could be cheap and crack this Chapter in two parts... But, that would mess up with some bits of schedule.

So, I guess I'll make this chapter pick up on the pace, unless you are really enjoying this chapter :p.

NEWER VOTEREWARD!!!!

2011-07-02T00:58:00.000-07:00

Augh... So much work and no play makes this comic author... be late with the votereward.

Next time I'll try to be slightly less late than this time :D

Oh yeah, the votereward, has my two favorite red-headed gals from the comic The Elven and The MintWhelp Saga!!!

VOTEREWARDNESS!!!!

2011-06-03T10:04:00.000-07:00

Yup. This time is a SURRRPRISE!

Guess who they are and win... well... nothing, since I got no money. But I gues I accept requests :D

Augh...!

2011-05-18T20:50:00.000-07:00

Would you people forgive me if I had grayscaled comics only for a while?

Seems life has gotten in the way seriously, and I only have a week of buffer at most, and too many things to do to feed it properly :(

By the way, it would help me a lot if you went to this wee page http://pepetz.com/category/pepetzfriends/ and vote for my friends design, Guanaljuato.

Please do, or esle, I might get assassinated, Assassin Trio style, even :D

ESPAÑOL

¿Me perdonarian si hiciera comics en gris por un buen rato?

He estado ocupado en cosas de la vida, y a duras penas tengo tiempo para hacer comics. :D

Urp...

2011-05-06T05:01:00.000-07:00

Sorry the votereward is so late... Since I lost a little bit of blood in my surgery, it seems that a virus managed to enter my system, leaving me with a cold and sore throat. I know it is a virus, since the antbiotic the doctor gave to me is pretty strong indeed, and this, the possibilities of it being an infection are kinda low.

So, yeah, I'm sick, but otherwise OK, All thanks to God.

So, how's it going on your sides? Been checking the facebook page?

I'll give you a reminder, since the guy who did the page has more money than I do, and therefore, has more possibilities of sending assassins if I don't remind you about the page.

http://www.facebook.com/NeosaimComics

EDIT: And now, I find out I owe you people a pic for the page reaching 27 followers! Oh boy :D

Huh...

2011-05-03T15:44:00.000-07:00

Someone made a Faceboo page about the comic... Guess you can click, IF you are brave.

http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.facebook.com/pages/Neosaim-Comics/128861677190064

THANK GOD!

2011-05-02T12:50:00.000-07:00

OK, I can finally tell ye, people. I got my wisdom teeth removed, plus, had my lower jaw checked for possible trouble with my lower wisdom teeth, which happened to grow sorta horizontal --diagonal?--.

Thanks to God in Heaven, them wisdom teeth in the upper side got removed nicely... And the lower jaw ones haven't caused much complications, which is indeed a Blessing!

I hope I'll be in good enough health to continue doing 'em comics for your enjoyment people. God willing, of course.

Final Gala Minicomi Votereward!

2011-04-28T21:59:00.000-07:00

I know... it looks a bit too rushed... But, had I planned to go with a natural segue of things, I'd have ended up with about 7 comic pages instead of just 5 --and supposedly, it was going to be 4 pages long only, this minicomic-- I guess I'll make it up for you somehow... again.

...Aside of a few minor setbacks, everything is OK in my living life. May God bless you all indeed, my readers. I'd never ask for other readers, indeed.

MORE VOTEREWARDNESS!!

2011-04-21T22:59:00.000-07:00

We are almost done with Gala's happiest of happy romps ever!

WARNING: If you, for some reason are easily offended at making fun of lawyers or Margaret Thatcher, maybe this votereward isn't for you. :D

Everything OK on my side. Nothing much to report.

MORE HAPPINESS WITH GALA!

2011-04-14T23:22:00.000-07:00

As the title says. You have to see it to believe, though, I guess.

MORE VOTEREWARDNESS!

2011-04-07T22:24:00.000-07:00

Sorry, guys, this one is slightly NSFW... Mainly because it shows a character performing a typical Magical Girl Transformation.

In other certain news, I'm trying to get back my faith in God. Lately, I've been seeing many things, that are indeed unexplainable to my feeble mind. So, I decided to brush up the old yet slightly renewed faith and find answers there.

Now, let's leave this topic alone. I don't want people discussing religion, nor politics nor sports in here. I just... well, didn't know what to put as a "currently, in my life.." that happened to be either cheery enough, or not too depressing. :d

I could also have shut up about it, I guess. Anyways!

Certain sources aka, the guy who writes the good and cool stuff that happens in the comic, has stated his opinion that magical girls aren't exactly within the scope of the comic... And I should agree. It would be ill advised to add even more characters now that the comic is about halfway through, me thinks :D So, yeah, no magical girl shenanigans for you --in this comic, at least--

I guess you can always enjoy Gala's magical happy romp with them gals while clicking on the votereward. But... ehh... next time, I should tone down the fanservice a bit. I mean, I don't want to get people in trouble, after all.

Lessons learned

2011-04-01T00:46:00.000-07:00

I learned valuable lessons while doing this newest votereward:

A) I can't draw cute clothings, even if my life depended on it.

B) I can't really design magical girl-esque characters. You know, the type that are stereotypical to the genre.

C) I should not draw stuffs at work, since I don't have my inkers there, and any and all attempts at inking later are... very unsuccesful :p

D) Next time I should draw backgrounds :p

Oh well, hope you people still enjoy my sketchy dealings in Gala's happy romp with the... eh...

...

Hey, after you read the votereward, why not come with a name for them? Who knows, maybe, if people like their designs, we can add them in the comic :d

Well, oh well... VOTEREWARD ISSUES

2011-03-06T12:47:00.000-08:00

Once again, I forgot my Webcomic List password. And, once again, it seems they are taking longer than expected to send me the new password.

SO! You get to see the votereward from here:

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d138/Sarasojier/astcoast.jpg

Once I get my password back, I'll upload it to the webcomic list votereward thingamajig.

Aand, to make it up to you, next month, I'll upload a sketch every week. But not just any sketches... It will feature a cool and absolutely weird and hillarious idea I heard at Deviant Art.

I'll post a sketchy minicomic story on what would happen if Gala was a magical girl :D Or, to be more specific, if she was invited to become part of a "magical girl" group.

Don't worry, it will be worth your time :D

Hee...

2011-02-27T23:36:00.000-08:00

The votereward WILL INDEED be a tad late. I'll be honest with you. Insomnia Episodes (ie. me being unable to sleep, not me seeing a tv show called Insomnia), plus an interesting comic I was reading, equals... Well, it equals a comic author that is both sleepy, unable to work properly at his current job, and hasn't drawn any proper votereward :p

Guess if you feel a character hasn't received any Votereward love, you can suggest him/her/it now.

The comic doingness is going a bit slow, yet steady. I seem to have a bit of both mental and physical health now. Things are going pretty nice now. Indeed, thank you God, indeed.

Also. SPARTAN FIGHT! Hope the fight is good enough to keep you interested in Erytus. Or that he will at least spark some interest about him.

See you in the future, my 13 readers!

I THANK GOD FOR THIS!

2011-02-07T18:39:00.000-08:00

Good news and bad news, people. Good news, my tooth is still in my mouth. Bad news, there's a 50-50 chance of either getting or not getting a root canal, depending on how my tooth reacts to a few treatments.

But good grief! I didn't lose it. You have no idea of how happy I feel right now. THANK YOU GOD, THANK YOU CHRIST FOR THIS!

I'm sooo very happy indeed!

Freakitty Yay...

2011-02-04T19:58:00.000-08:00

Yeops, my molar tooth is busted. I just checked it on a mirror and it has a cavity so large you can put all of America in there and still have space for a few more countries. I'm not sure how my tooth hasn't collapsed unto itself and created a Black Hole that absorbs everything on its path.

Anyways, I'll have to get an appointment for the dentist. IF I'm lucky, I may not lose my tooth --not very possible, since I was close to losing it a few years ago. If I'm unlucky, I'll probably need some surgery, which I'll take a long, loong while to pay, even when I have a sort of stable job nowadays.

In both cases, since the place I was born in is Mexico, it means that either process --cavity filling or surgery-- will be extra painful. And, I have a high tolerance to pain, but last time someone took out a couple of my molars, it hurt like someone transported hell into my mouth.

I guess I'll have to accept the loss of my tooth. God willing, I may not have to lose it, but, as I have said before, it is a very very unlikely scenario.

AAAAGH!!! I hate all these interruptions to my creative processes. I no longer have the impressive girth of my 6 month buffer, now it being reduced to a mere 2 months. The last thing I need is to be detained a longer time.

Sigh... I know that nobody wants to read all this stressing stuff, but, it sort of gives me some venting out. I guess I'm not as tough ugly macho as I'm meant to be, but, believe me, when I feel pain, it pretty much means a normal person would be screaming in agony.

And I'm both in pain, AND highly stressed.

Mmmh

2011-02-03T14:08:00.000-08:00

Thank God for my mother. I talked to her last night, and she calmed me a little bit about, well, everything that was worrying me. I still have a few things to worry about -specially about my tooth which still sort of kind of hurts- but at least, should things come to worst, I know I have my family' support.

If your mother is just as half as good as mine, you do owe her a present or a small token of your appreciation. Or at least visit her and tell her how much you love her.

OK, I'm out. Hope to talk about more cheerful things soon!

ARGABLARGHABLARGH!

2011-02-01T20:15:00.000-08:00

Sorry for not updating the comic's votereward on time, folks, but I forgot my webcomic list password, and they send it about 12 hours ago, while I was at work. I'd offer one extra votereward to make up for it, but, I believe THIS new votereward will be worth the wait.

I've had a few anxiety issues for like, 3 days now, and it seems they won't stop for a while. I'll try to make sure they won't hinder the comic doingness too much, but, still, man, this one is tough. I prefer my happy-go-lucky, no-cares-about the-far-future self, rather than the one that worries that his unclean teeth, his eating habits or his lack of a nice job will destroy him in the future.

BUT, I drank some calming tea, so I think I can function properly for a few seconds. Which means, I'll use said seconds to talk about the comic:

Who are those three defying Gala? What kind of evil powers do they have? And... uh... will they have a recurring appereance contract? Why do I add so many characters? When will I stop?

These and some questions may be answered... In the futuuuure. Or is it, fuuuuuture?

NEW YEAR, NEW VOTEREWARD

2011-01-01T10:58:00.000-08:00

Yope, even though I haven't changed the button, the votereward has changed. Take a look see if you don't believe me!

The New Year's celebrations were crazy, plus me being sick with the flu means that I couldn't change the vote button. I'll get on it on Sunday :D

The comic will probably have 3 more years of life, before we reach the end. So, since this is a new year and all... What do you expect to see in this year, and maybe future years? What do you expect from the comic plot?

And... a most important note to you, my 13 readers: Truly, I appreciate your support. While finishing the MWS comic would indeed happen eventually, it does renew my vigor to know that not only me and Sdragon like the comic enough to keep reading it.

Thank you from the MWS Team! Which only comprises of two people... can that be still called a team?

Guess time and a dictionary will tell.

AAAAAAAAGH!!

2010-12-02T21:13:00.000-08:00

Sorry, so sorry, I know I'm late with the votereward, I have no excuses, but at least I'm getting enough money to pay for small gifts for my family this Xmas. You may say "gifts shouldn't be that important" but it is the one time I have enough saved to tell my family "here, a small token of my gratitude to you."

Therefore, I guess I owe you a pic. BUT, not just any pic, this time, you get to choose what kind of pic you get! Depending on complexity, though, I might have it done for January, if I have it sooner, it'll be posted as soon as I finish it.

Feed me your ideas, and lessee what happens :D

Anyways, about the votereward: Who is that white Fechi on a tank? You'll find out... as soon as I get to re-do the second chapter of the comic... So many things to do, so very little time :D

2010-11-10T13:21:00.001-08:00

Wednesday, 10th of Novemeber, 2010. Miguel, the catperson that swore revenge on Slayer is back! And he just saved everyone's bacon! What will he do next???

You... you rmemeber him right?... From the catfolk city chapter? Yes?

...

Anyways, nothing to report, unless you want me to either tell you how busy I've been or what will the next votereward will be about (Hint: Lizards)

NEW VOTEREWARD! Maybe.

2010-10-29T22:26:00.000-07:00

If you are reading this at 2:30 AM, then you'll get a new votereward! Otherwise, you'll still see the old votereward. I left the new vote button up because, well, I want to get some sleep, and I can't do that if I'm waiting for 2:30 AM to hit so I can upload it :p

But, hopefully, the preview of the button will give you an idea of what to expect.

Also, I saw the new design of the new heroine for MML3... IT LOOKS PRETTY COOL! It was actually my favorite character design, along with Keiji Inafune's design.

I assume you do know what am I talking about, but just in case: http://capcom-unity.com/devroom

Go see if yer interested to follow the antics of 'em developers. I'm putting it in my fave links :p

Gahhhh, gahhhh, gahhhh!!!

2010-09-20T04:45:00.000-07:00

At the time this blog was posted: OMG! Owen is back! I wonder what kind of crazy shenanigans will he do? Will he invite the party to a bread roll jam contest? Maybe embroidery contest? See what happens... next comic page :D

On different topics: What would you like to see for the next votereward? Let's hear what you've got to suggest!

OMG! A very polemic topic in MWS!!!

2010-09-06T11:54:00.000-07:00

Not in the comic, of course. Those will come later :D

Actually, there was a little tidbit of information I thought I could share with you. And it's about religion. And, I want to get it out of the way right now: If this somehow devolves on some sort of "My way of thinking is better" or things like that, I'll tell you to stop, roll, and keep quiet. Anyways...

Did you know, that along the many things that were cut out the very first drafts of the MWS --along with MW having wings and animal like paws, Karenina and Yanzou still working as mercenaries and performing rather vile acts before meeting MW, Magic coming inside capsules, etc-- was a tidbit about religions existing in the MWS world? And that they'd take a great deal on the story?

Yes, I know what you'll say: "But there must be religions in the MWS world! They have a 'Teaspoon of the Goddess' and Bob in the MintWhelp Rants!" and you are right. Gods do exist in the MWS world, but, if you'll stop interrupting me, I'll get on explaining the original ideas on religion in the MWS world.

There were going to be 3 major religions in the MWS world. They had no names at the times of the drafting, but I had them identified by ideology: The religion of Good Stuff, Better Stuff, and Best Stuff. Each one thanked a different deity on their own way:

Good Stuff religion thought that there were good things around the world.

Better Stuff, same idea, except you put "better" instead of "good" in the paragraph above.

And, the Best Stuff religion thought that things where already their best, and that we should thank God for finding things we found pleasant.

And people fought over these similar, yet slightly different ways to view the world! Imagine that.

I know what you'll say: "Those are not religions at all!". And, I know. That's why I had second thoughts about that idea. To have a religion, one must have a deity, epiphanies, manuscripts (most of the time), witnesses, etcetera to be considered as such. And, well, back then, I didn't have the attention span to do such things; the idea was entirely dropped when a certain character came to be.

For the second part of the MintWhelp Saga, I plan to explain the existance of the gods and goddesses that, at least once upon a time, existed in the MWS World. In fact, that part will also explain how come a dragons, catfolk and humans can have hybrid children instead of terrifying malformed monsters. :D

And, if things go well, it will explain, too, why the MWS barely has any mention about religion. Aside of my lazyness, and, others may say, "lack of committment to create a fully-fleshed world".

NNNNEW VOTEREWARD!

2010-08-31T22:35:00.001-07:00

This time... It has what the other 400 readers of this comic --who happen to be all imaginary, by the way-- wanted! More males, and more scalyness! So, they get some Fechi Warrior goodness!

Then again, maybe they wanted to see Slayer. Oh well.

So, what to talk about... Aside of the fact that I've been in a sort of an art block --mainly caused by the fact I haven't been able to focus on drawing, because of games and gamingness-- there's nothing much to report.

I have a few things planned here and there, but, I must be able to conquer this lazyness before I can do them. Thank God for the existance of buffers, and my almost OCD-ish tendency to keep 'em sturdy, or else, we'd have some serious gaps in updates right about now.

But, in the meantime, you'll get to enjoy, very soon, a very short, but very action packed scenes soon. Juuust you wait.

Actually, yes, you'll wait, because there will be a small training montage and stuff like that first. :D

Talking about Stuff #1

2010-08-16T18:56:00.000-07:00

Wow, this took a bit of time to do. Chalk it to me being unable to sleep or work on the redoing of chapter 2 until I could sleep. :D

So, this time, we will talk about... The Card Game! Oh man. I have neglected that one for a long time...

But first, a bit of history. Back in the days when the art of the comic was worse than it is now --yep, it's possible!-- I was both obsessed with Card Games, and obsessed with having people have a sort of different experiences about the comic. And so, the idea of the card game was born.

Sdragon, being both the genius of tactics that he is, and being the only guy who happens to have awesome ideas all the time, helped me flesh out the rules of the card game. I just added pictures that, back then, I thought qualified as good enough to put on the cards. And, since the thing had pretty pics about the characters, I decided to use 'em in the cast section of the site.

So, the short-lived experiment on card gaming begun... and ended. Mainly, because we were doing this stuff in the MWS forums --yeps, we do have a forum!-- and, I'm well known in the world at large for having trouble keeping my focus on foruming --and keeping focus on many things at a time, too-- And, the thing certainly required me to be constantly there, modding and stuff, while also drawing the comic pages. I'm bad at multitasking!!:p

I do want to re-do the card game project... in terms of art, of course. But, every time I think about it, a different project appears... like, redoing the second chapter of the comic.

But, believe me, I'll someday, SOMEHOW finish that project. Even if it takes all my focus powers to do so.

SQUIRREL!

EDIT: See, it's like I got a mild case of ADD. So, what should we talk about next? Do tell me!

New Votereward!

2010-08-01T02:59:00.000-07:00

Man, seems I only use this blog to tell you about new voterewards, huh? But, I guess it can't be helped. Anyways, this votereward is simple, yet, there's something I like a lot about it; maybe it's the colouring, what do you think?

Aside of my insomnia episodes, and a few events that have sapped my inspiration a little bit, everything is sort of OK. I'll be working soon on redoing the second chapter of the comic: "The Fechi Valley"!

This one sure requires some major overhauls, not only because of the "MintWhelp Rant" part (done back in the days my scanner was useless because of me changing operating systems), but also, because of the Fechies themselves.

You see, we ended up having a few Fechi characters that are now important to the plot, and I was told it would be better if we reference them a bit in this "first appereance of the Fechies" chapter; so, some rewriting will be done to that effect. And, of course, I'll try to have jokes that actually try to make sense, and just slightly better artwork than in the original pages.

On sort of unrelated news, I also found a game-maker engine that I may use in the event I make a MWS2 game. Don't hold your breath on that one, though, as I still have to learn how to use it properly, scribble a story, maybe make custom sprites, etcetera, etcetera; and, as people that know me can tell you, I have problems with even the most simple technical stuff, so making a game (even with a game-making engine) might be a bit beyond my ken.

One final note: I guess we could try having you people that comment suggest a topic I could talk about in this blog. Since it's only four people now, I guess we can somehow manage for one or two topics :D. How about it?

Another Votereward for you!

As the title suggest.

Nothing much to talk about; just that I've had some insomnia episodes and comic production is going sloooow.

New Votereward

2010-05-31T22:40:00.000-07:00

A new Votereward will appear about two hours after this post is up. Chalk it up to difference of timelines between topwebcomics and me.

It has Jerred in a Mint Dragoon armor! Unfortunately, my drawing skills can't measure up to such an awesome idea. Sorry to disappoint.

So, any comments about the arc so far? Too slow? Too fast? You hate it? You hate me because of it? You want to stalk me and cut me into pieces? Do you want to transfom me into a cubist work of art to redeem me for all the scrawlings I have done so far? Maybe skin me off, use my skin for your art, my blood for your paint and my bone and meat for your meal?

Is it obvious I'm playing with the words in this blog to see what kind of advertisement comes out below?

But, anyways, do tell me your opinions about the story so far :p

Ahhh, what on earth...

2010-05-21T01:30:00.000-07:00

I'm posting a link to 21st May 2010's comic page, since it seems Comicgenesis auto-updater is acting up again :D

So... uhmn, yeah, how's 'em Chicago Bears?

The Votereward has... changed...

2010-05-02T01:26:00.000-07:00

It changed into something... something slightly different... it has no tentacles or other appendages, yet it moves quickly throughout the wold.

You'll see MintWhelp's possible design for the second part of the MW Saga. I don't know what plot it would have, what characters would come back... heck, even the existance of a second part s doubtful. But there is Mint Whelp, as he'd look on this hypothetical second part.

Who knows, maybe next time I show a "MW's possible future design" he'll be wearing a red tutu, a giant disco-ball collar, and high-heel stillettos. Ew.

Nothing much to report, except...

2010-04-15T03:50:00.001-07:00

I changed the Votereward... I... didn't like how the Karenina and IK pic turned out :/

Oh yeah, before I forget.

2010-04-04T16:45:00.000-07:00

Read Axe Cop if you haven't. Read it. Read it now. Please... There's a freaking Unicorn Avocado!! You'll at least have some fun reading it, I guarantee.

New votereward and...

2010-03-31T22:31:00.000-07:00

Well, we got a new votereward --even though the votereward will update a few hours after this post is made, but oh well. Good thing: I tried to use a different colouring technique. Bad thing: I didn't accomplish any sexyness in this pic, like, at all.

Anyways... The reason I wanted to have this votereward done sooner, was because my brother got married last week, which meant I needed to be available at any moment's notice --helping with carrying stuff, mainly--, and I can't do that while debating what kind of pic I want for the votereward, you see. I'm bad at multitasking, hah hah hah.

On to other subjects... How do you like the fight so far? I'm not confident enough to show great naval or sky fighting --nor should I be confident to do any kind of fights, by most people's standards-- but it's getting there, isn't it? Well, at least those who are fans of Minouzu --yes, all two of them, me included-- will get to see him pulling some moves out of nowhere, in a cool way. Also, those who are fans of Riki and Timelson will get to see some cool fighting scenes from them.

AND!!! At the end of the chapter!! A disturbing REVEAL!!! That people saw coming a mile away!!!

Good things in the future, indeed.

Votereward ideas! Your help needed!

2010-03-15T19:38:00.000-07:00

Indeed! Because I want to have it done earlier this time!

Let's do it this way, give me the name of two characters and a feeling... For Example, MintWhelp, Karenina, scary would net you a pic of MW and Karenina in a scary situation, and so on.

Uh... nothing much to say this time, the sea battle will be still on for a while, after all. :D

2010-03-10T09:12:00.000-08:00

It seems a sea battle is on, now!

Poor MintWhelp. Hope the enemies don't open his sides or something. Could get messy.

Anyways, talking time! Monster Horde Leader and Random Caterpillar are always fun to write, mainly because they get into the most bizarre situations possible. Also, MHL is SO the tragic villian; sure, his tragedies amount to "getting laughed at by his minions" and "getting so big he can't fit in his bathing suit", not to mention "getting a wound on a hard to explain place" and, most importantly, "being defeated by a mostly defenseless dragon cub", but, to him, they were life-changing tragedies, indeed. If not, he wouldn't be going around all over creation in order to defeat Mint Whelp, right?

RCP (Random Caterpillar; the extra P is for PIE) is fun to write because of his obsessive nature. First, stalking MintWhelp's party, nowadays, stalking Vessee. I'm not saying that stalkers are funny (they are NOT) but, the fun part about RCP's stalker...hood, uh... stalkingness... stalking behaviour is more on the fact that he's, most of the time, completely ineffectual at it.

Funny thing about RCP is that, if he where a more serious villian, he'd be incredibly dangerous. I mean, he's been able to convince Monster Horde Leader, a spider, Boxnoxox, and, now, a nest of wasps to help him(OK, convince is too strong a word on that last scenario, but they are kind of working under him now) . He's also a treacherous bastard that won't mind backstabbing you if it completes his purposes somehow. Add the stalker behaviour and his capability to eventually metamorphosize into a winged being, and you got one scary evil being, indeed!

And now, we introduce the Elite Wasp Force, the Baron 5. Right now, they are just some wasps, but, hopefully, I'll be able to depict these characters properly as the chapter unfolds.

Oh well, see ye!

New Votereward!!

2010-02-28T22:43:00.000-08:00

You know where to vote people. In fact, I'll wait a while until you do...

... ... ...

Done? No?

... ... ...

OK, you are done now. If you are wondering, "Why Minouzu, Gala and Yanzou in the same pic? Well, it's because of their eyes. Hopefully, I'm not such a bad artist that their eyes all look different in shape :p

With Minouzu, it is easy to see why he has those eyes: He's (SPOILER!) Yanzou's offspring, which means he has to share some resemblance to his father --Though, I guess he looks more like his mother, indeed--

Now, why Yanzou and Gala have the same shape of eyes? Nope, it's not because Yanzou is Gala's gradson or something --it would be a fun contrivance, but no-- It's because, well... Those eyes give off an air of mystery around them, don't they?

Indeed, while Gala is quite obvious why she's meant to have a mysterious air about her (being both an assassin from an elusive "town", to her pretty much being an almost expressionless person) you might be wondering "But Yanzou is, if maybe a bit perverted, a lovable oaf! He's not mysterious, he's --here you add your favorite adjective(s) of course--."

But, you are forgetting that, when Yanzou was introduced, he was this guy who would do ambiguous things, like throw a sword at Karenina, and look like he's going to cleave Mint Whelp in half.

Of course, I guess it was obvious from the very beginning he was a good guy, but, I at least tried to give that whole "He's a mysterious guy, ooohhh." feeling around him.

And, in a sense, I guess Minouzu was meant to be mysterious too. After all, he's a guy that came from the future! :D

...I almost forgot! Riki, who has the same type of eyes, was, too, introduced as a mysterious sort of firey lizard in the Dragon Town Chapter.

It's almost like we (me and Sdragon) planned it... but everyone who knows me knows that I don't plan anything at all :D

Long Gone are thee, Haloscan

Yeah... Seems that we will no longer have a proper chatbox comment thing.
So, I guess I'll use this as a sort of Newspost. Guess we can still go around commenting about other stuff that is not about the news at hand.

Since the only way everyone can comment without registering to blogspot is to admit all comments, including anonymous ones, I'll have to moderate the posts so no weird shenanigans happen. Hopefully, this won't cause much trouble, and makes sure I read all the comments. So, don't panic if you don't see your comment immediately posted.

Also, expect a votereward on the 1st of March!
