Doing Things!

No comic this week woo! Instead we have other important things I've been working on. This is some concept art for the game I'm currently doing the art for. We don't wanna give away too many details before it's set in stone (please see: we're making it up as we go) but it's going to be a game in which a disease will infect the player with different types of mutations giving them increased strength or a ranged bile bomb type attack. Things like that. Also I've picked up Richard Williams' book The Animators Survival Kit, because I'm probably gonna need to learn how to do actual animations and fast. So far it's a crazy awesome, crazy heavy book with some really good character to it.

So all that's taken up a good bit of my week along with working my real job. I don't plan on making this kind of stuff main content for the week so this was just filler for this week. I have some comics I wanna do involving things like Hearthstone, Child of Light and eventually Transistor when that comes out.

Lastly, the Greninja V. Kirby comic was my best comic so far with the most popularity and best reception out of all of them. So thank you guys for sharing it with others and spreading the laughs. Please continue to do so and of course be sure to follow me on Twitter @Toushinu for updates on when I post new content! What do you think of the character designs so far? Sites each progression read as distinctly melee and ranged?

Kirby Becomes A Monster

Kirby now has the power to spit shurikens at his opponents.

I've been wanting to make this comic for far too long. Like many other people I was extremely hyped to see that Greninja was added to the new Super Smash's roster. I've always been a fan of the faster characters in the game and Greninja looks like he's gonna be just that. Also, doing this comic was one of the most therapeutic things I could have done all week. Have you ever just googled "Kirby" before? It's unholy how adorable it is.

Be sure to follow me @Toushinu on Twitter for updates on when I post new comics! Maybe we can ponder the mysteries of life together. Like, where am I gonna get my groceries tonight? Does Kirby ever say no to a meal? When is Mewtwo gonna be announced? All these questions and mooooore!*



*will go unanswered

Five Stages Of Grief As Told By Dota 2

Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance. All these ingredients come together to create the maddest little boy!

Games like League of Legends and Dota are so bittersweet to me. On the one hand, it's a game that a lot of my friends can get behind and we can all play together. And they are genuinely fun and deep and get me super engaged with their mechanics. On the other hand, when you don't have a full party, you have to deal with the beast that is the anonymous internet. A terrible beast indeed. With zero consequences, people will say and do anything to anger those who anger them, unprovoked or otherwise. And that is why I have been fairly successful at quitting these games. There are just some days where my friends have this... itch. And when your friends have the itch, you need to help them scratch. Now I'm uninstalling Dota 2 for the umpteenth time. Yaaaay. I do love me some Phantom Lancer though.
