And there it is… the plunge into new comics. I’m not sure what my new schedule will be- maybe 3 times a week… but for now, it took me all day figuring out a new program to get this toned and lettered and online. Tomorrow’s comic will be much quicker now that I know how to work the program a bit better.
The biggest jarring change and most noticeable one between the old stuff and the new is the lettering. Also, the tones are a little richer which I think is due to the more painterly quality of Manga Studio versus Photoshop.
It will be interesting. Decompressed storytelling. Wooooo!

Well, that does it- that catches us up. Everything from this point on is new swanky art from my hand- if it sucks- that’s why. If it “doesn’t feel right,” that’s why. So blame time, the changes that happen in age, and my lack of unlimited funds to support this nasty art habit of mine. *slaps inner elbow* Straight to the vein, baby.

This one feels a little crowded, but I think that’s because I’m fighting my translation again… Still, a goofy setup. Inanna Ishtar was the God of gods in the ancient world. She was the goddess of love and hate, the harvest, life and death, judgement, pregnancy, and the mother of all of the other gods. It was from her that the world spring, according to the beliefs of the region of Ur, where this takes place.

I like that dopey grin on Atom’s face. He looks like a kid here, as compared to his younger grittier self we see at the beginning of the story.

I know this isn’t a big deal to you guys right now, but I just finished uploading every No Stereotypes comic from my old archives. This is the first time since 2008 that this comic will be online. Crazy, huh? You don’t believe me!?!? Currently up is the first chapter image for the prologue. Below, a snippet of the LAST comic that updated online before I had to take the comic down.
Atom and Jody in Mesopotamia.
What a difference!
Now the comic isn’t readable yet, I just have the files on the server… It’s the little steps…
I want to especially thank Rob Howard and Rob Withoff for securing the files from destruction between my many losses of data and computer power over the years. I’m so excited, I’m posting this to Facebook without updating the silly WordPress image.

Ah, No Stereotypes. I’m not going to lie; I’ve been working on this story for a very long time. I first started doodling these characters in High School and on through college and finally art school. I will finish this story. To borrow Sheanon Garrity’s wisdom, I’m considering NS a journeyman’s piece. It is not a complete and perfect story, nor should it be, however it is from the heart and laced with the honesty of that. This is a story where I am figuring out how to draw, and how to write. It is a story I’m figuring out pacing and timing.
Websnark once said a very nice thing about my use of decompressive storytelling in this comic. He has a new website so check it out. I think it’s because I tend to read a lot of manga from Japan and Korea growing up and picked up those habits.
Anyway, enjoy. 🙂
