AIR #52 Redux

June 10th, 2007 by Ajay

Alright.  Who knows how this is gonna work out in the future, but here’s a comic I added a few tones to and changed the way the mall employees’ outfits look. You can see how it looked originally below.  I fixed the hell out of it with some fancy lamp posts and darkening up the parking lot asphalt.  That stuff is usually black.  I finally got the EX version of the ol’ Manga Studio, made some lamp posts in Blender and imported them.  Made some much better parking lot spaces with the perspective tool and uploaded it to replace the original.  The perspective tool is amazing.  And that alone is worth the extra money from the Debut version.  I’m happier with the way it looks and I’m gonna do it with the other ones.  Let me know what you thinks.

AIR #54 - The Prophesy

June 3rd, 2007 by Ajay

Here is the firstest comic made entirely on paper, then scanned into Manga Studio and fooled with, then exported into Photoshop CS2, turned into CMYK, then exported as a .gif for your viewing pleasure. I will do the background tomorrow when hiking is completed. I used different line tones on this one than the other one I practiced on in the previous post. I like it a little better when you can actually see the dots. Also, the preview image below has the best hand I think I’ve drawn to date. Always improving!
Enjoy, and as always, comment away.

Adventures in Retail #53

April 22nd, 2007 by Ajay

I’m not quite finished with this one, but really, am I ever? Perspective takes forever, especially with parking lot lines. I am going to try to do them digitally for this one and a couple of the previous ones, but I need to go to bed. I also need to go back and change a few things on Stew’s pants and Brian’s uniform. I decided it needs more black. Anyway, here is Adventures in Retail #53. Enjoy.

Adventures in Roadtripping #10

March 11th, 2007 by Ajay

Well, if it isn’t about time. Look at what I made! My good friend Chris is helping me with the writing part of it and it’s already better. And as I type this I just realized I didn’t put his name in the credits. Dammit. I’ll fix that later because I need to sleep, delicious sleep. Yum. Enjoy.

I almost like some of this comic. I like the writing. I didn’t do that. I’ll fix some piddly stuff this week if I get a chance. Enjoy it.

AIR #51 - not colored

December 29th, 2006 by Ajay

Hello my 7 fans. I have a comic for you. And if all goes well you’ll get another this weekend. Danny and I have decided that I should just draw them all and then color them at the end. Mysterious things will happen soon! Enjoy!

Random job comic

So I drew this today while I was working. Can’t believe how little there was to do today. I listened to the hell out of that Blank Label Comics Podcast. Those two guys are great.

It only took me forever because I am a slow little bitch when it comes to coloring.

AIR #49

September 1st, 2006 by Ajay

Yay, it’s friday and do you know what that means? A new Adventures in Retail comic! I think this comic features one of the single worst drawings of Jonn(the character) that I have ever done.  I have no idea why.  Try to guess which one it is.  I’ll give you a hint, he’s swearing in the panel.
