The beginnings of an idea...

To follow on from the previous post on webcomics, I also implore you to to check out this one on The Bunny (and friends).  It's awesome and smart, and some of the drawings are phenomenal.  And that Bunny is just so damn cute!  Man, do I sound camp...  Loved this one because I now know this artist used to watch Due South and therefore, respect is due (can't wait for the fourth and final season to come out on DVD).

So, having read a bundle of webcomics (see previous post) and also finally understanding where a friend's own drawings come from, it got me thinking about doing my own short comic strips.  I'll be able to inject it with my own foul humour and finally get myself back into drawing and doodling, something I fondly remember doing many moons ago.  I once copied (but not traced, as I made it larger than the original) Sonic and Tails from a computer games magazine.  Coloured it in and showed it to a friend who then didn't believe I drew it myself - honestly, I was a little annoyed at the time, but thinking about it I suppose I could take it as a compliment.  I also drew a number of other pictures too - they still look pretty good even now - so I really want to get back into it.  Supposes there's no excuse either seeing as I'll be finished with Uni work and looking for a job.

So this comic then.  Unsurprisingly, it's going to be based on two characters, Sausage and Mash (really, because it's easy to draw them and hopefully will allow me more time to get on with the other parts of the comic).  I've already got an idea for the first comic strip, but nothing else, so this could be an extremely short comic.&nbps; Don't know when I'll get the first one out, but probably as soon as I get home where we've a scanner - does mean that I'll have time to draw up a whole load of them.

Finally, all this thought of making a comic strip started my designing my own blog banner, as you'll probably have noticed by now.  Pretty sweet and didn't take too long to do - maybe I do have some 'designerness' in me.
