Atland #269 - A Dark & Stormy Night

AND WE'RE BACK! Did you miss me?

We kick off ATLAND Season 2 with this episode. You'll notice the new format, which provides for a bigger, more legible image.

I drew this episode 6 or 8 months ago, I think. But just this morning, I realized the reaction panel of the customers/employees just wasn't up to snuff. And I had a chance to not only make it better, but include characters that I knew were making appearances later on. Better continuity! (Astute readers will recognize some of these folks from the concept art I posted during the hiatus, as well as a certain bartender from an oooooold strip!

Here's the comparison:

I'm really trying to step up the attention to detail and the coloring. I hope it's noticeable.

Next week...the town drunk makes his move.

Welcome back, guys!

The Beard Master

Zyn Dweomer #57



I’ve been tracking my progress toward keeping a robust daily routine I call “Dragon Hour”. It’s working quite well. I set a target in the form of a percentage of a page I want to complete each day, Mon-Fri. I track it daily and try to keep it above 100%. I know that sounds geeky as hell but it has been an effective way for me to reign myself in and get some real comics finished.

The other element has been switching the format of Zyn Dweomer. It has shifted from a color web strip to a black and white print comic (with pages being posted here, chopped up appropriately). This works for me. I like the look, I’m more comfortable with the style, and I can finish more pages. Plus I’ve always wanted to do a full size comic book series and I’m a self-publisher at heart.

Anyway, it’s going well. I’m over my 100% target at this moment.

Soon I hope to start making announcements about the first print comic. I’ll probably put together a “year one” collection of all the color strips as a sort of issue #0, then follow it up with the first issue of the proper series. The print comics will feature color covers, which I am really looking forward to creating. Also, I plan to include a back-up “worldbook” feature in each issue to give you a sort of classic RPG-inspired catalog of all the stuff that appears in the comic.

Atland Season 2 Previews: Verner VonStadt & Kitty


I can't believe next week is the start of Season 2! I think I short-changed myself one week of the "6-week hiatus". Oh well. No one to blame but myself and my poor math skills.

Are you ready for it? :P

Ape and Girl

I found some rare and free time recently to do some self indulgent doodling. I can see where I've been influenced a bit by the new artistic paths that have opened for me recently. I think that's cool. I'd hate to think that I've gotten too old to see my work change.
Apologies again, for not being around much these days here on the Wizard's board.

Play Nice!
