Mat's Incredible Time Sink

01/28

I had thought it would be neat to at least once, draw a small comic in that kind of Saturday newspaper way.  Sort of like what our pal John does.  Clearly, I can't do it as well, but it was fun to step outside of what I usually do.

Hopefully I'll be able to get something a bit more complex out in later days this month.  Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday are going to be my trash days for sure, though.

I think it'll be fun to see some daily life comics from you! I also want to see how you would pitch this idea. Because I totally want to play Skyrim and Mount your Friends at the same time.

hahaha! oh god, we all know this guy

and i agree with jenn--please show us more. you'd be doing us a favor.

This'll be my official submission for today, but I'll try and get another daily out later when I get home.

This is a refined drawing for a poster project.  We have to do musicals, so of course I chose Vagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen.

I knew a person like that in a course I did a couple of years back. Stuck to me like glue.

Also, very interested to see what you do for this school project, as that's great subject matter.

Got home way too late tonight.  But here's a quickie about my day.  Not great.

Some days just bum you out.

None of these are particularly inspiring ideas.

This is the literal list of features I got for this thing.

-Four disk drives to play four games at once
-Shaped like a dome or plus sign
-4k Res
-Wireless
-Black and purple colour scheme
-Best processor
-Massive storage

...yay



Man, remember that creepy baby doll ad?

Darkest Dungeon is pretty great.  In fact, as far as early access games are concerned, it's pretty done.

More of these comics, Mat. I'm really enjoying them! I do not envy your marketing project though. Yuck.

Squeaking-in in the nick of time.

HAHA the last panel from today's comic omfg

these are so so great. journal comics can be so difficult to do, and you're killing it.

Thanks, man.

Going to have to take a small break from the comics and do some "real" work this weekend, but I'll get back on them come Monday.

Some progress on the Siegfried piece from day 2.

Mat.

Man, your comics are great.

Please tell me you'll be keeping them up after February is done, because you totally have a knack for it. The second panel on day four, where you have the camera above both subjects, to show what they're looking at on the table? That's some damn good framing/composition right there.

If people like them as much as you guys seem to, I'll try to keep up with them.  Maybe move them to a couple times a week or just weekly so that I can put a bit more time into them and don't get too behind on school work.

Today I've got a few more poster roughs.  Not totally sold on the first one.  Needs a few more refinements.

Back to comics.

Oh god, this is my favorite one so far.

Sorry guys, no time for fun today. So here's a boring-as shit portrait thing I did in class today.



Again, sorry.

I made Valentine's Day cards today.  

They're supposed to look like hearts. Womp-womp.

did you say...


... WOMP WOMP!?

I love the depth you got on those valentine's day cards! They look 3D n shit! NICE

Thanks, man.

Sorry for being a no-show yesterday.  I will attempt to make amends for that.

But first, let's let's all have a bit of a downer moment and remember that this particular holiday isn't for everyone.  Sometimes wishing someone a happy Valentine's Day just reminds them of something they don't have.

Thanks, social norms!

Oh, speaking of which, is this a thing? I've spoken to three people in my group of friends who have just broken up with their partners within the last week or so.

Do a lot of break-ups happen pre Valentine's Day? I'd understand post V-Day break ups, sure.
