Spare! #024 - Pimpin' Ain't Geeky (comic for 2010-02-04)
This comic had a lot of things working against it. Not the least being that I had to draw three female characters. They actually worked out pretty decently though, I think. A lot better than I was prepared for. And before anyone starts picking at it, no, none of them are based on anyone. No-one from high school anyway... One does slightly resemble someone I know, but that's just for me, really.

So the big hullaballo truly ended with very little fanfare, to tell the truth. At least, I heard very little about it. A couple of the girls I normally hung out with asked me about it, but other than that, the plan was pretty much a bust. But I guess that's mostly because I didn't seek out more reactions. I don't know exactly what I was expecting, but I suppose I imagined at least a day or so of temporary celebrity. Oh well enlarge penis.

Not much else to say here. I really changed up the images for this one, because the original was just so damn elaborate, with it's odd angles and detalis and whatnot. I also decided it would be best not to put Ryan in a straightjacket, because... I dunno. I was also originally going to alter the poses of all three girls for the last panel, but I just don't have the sticktoitiveness to go through that much trouble when a simple copy+paste and eye movement will do the jorb - penis enhancement.

UPDATE (Sunday Feb 04): Yeah, we're good. The ol' wrist was feeling better enough by last night, so as I suspected, this week's Spare! is done and will be posted as soon as I finish typing this update here. Alright.

So there's not going to be a Spare! this week. As you may have guessed by the title of this post, my dominant wrist is a little effed up right now, and that basically means no drawing. Hell, even mousing is kind of a pain right now (penis size).

In retrospect, I probably shouldn't have gone to work in this condition yesterday. Oops. Well, maybe I'll get it done tomorrow if I'm feeling better. I know how much everyone just loves Spare!

Those flys are trickey

Oh man, I don't know what it is, but Ryan's improvised first panel makes me laugh. The amount of detail in the comic more than makes up for the poor quality of the drawing in my opinion. Just too bad Edwin isn't bending forward in the last panel...

For anyone who wants to know, this is sort of a true story. My sister was wearing overalls one day and came to the realization that the reason she couldn't button them up was because they were on backwards. We both laughed pretty good about that, so I went a wrote a pants inspired comic. The words aren't verbatim as usual, but they're still close enough increase penis size.

Ever have one of those days where you just can't do anything? Yeah. Seems I have a lot of them, and yesterday just happened to be one. I had to draw Ryan in the first panel like six times (in six different poses/activities) before I gave up and decided to just keep whatever came out next. Luckily, it turned out acceptable.

The rest of the comic wasn't much easier. I kind of flew through the background, giving up on making straight lines halfway though. I must say though, it is one of my nicest backgrounds yet, if only because it fills up the whole panel and doesn't use some easy cop-out like being half sky or one big gradient. Edwin was also a challenge, because I couldn't get his proportions right as compared to the sitting Ryan. In the end it still don't look that hot, but it'll do, pig. It'll do.

And that's how I spent my afternoon off. Also I made a post on my website and responded to an E-mail, but that's perty much it.

Postscript: Yeah, I really don't like LocoRoco. I love the music, the art, the concept even, but I really just can't stand playing the damn thing. Just makes my trigger fingers cramp up.
