Sorry about the late thursday update. Busy week as always. But, it’s still a thursday update! Time to smoke a cigarette and let Q back in.

After illustrating the Spine and Xeidj by a lake, I started thinking about making a comic book based in Warcraft Universe. The idea sounded fun at first. I would get to include my internet friends as comic book characters, and write about our adventures. I decided to start the story with this page of Spine skydiving out of her helicopter to fish in a lake. As you can tell, skydiving became the right way to introduce Spine. That’s what she does. She jumps out of airplanes, helicopters, pulls the chute and action starts.
I abandoned the idea of making a wow comic because it would end up being more like a documentary. It would also lack the idea of Spine in Stop The Rain. A flooded world was necessary for the story. Also, another idea I had was telling Spine’s origin story that begins in Turkey. Which wouldn’t work AT ALL with the WoW Spine. However, I still do like the idea of taking my wow friend’s names and putting them as characters. So, my goal was clear: I have to create a brand new world for Spine. A flooded world where she could exist in ancient Turkey, and sky dive off of an airplane and not worry about it. Blindknot became the answer. Here’s the first unfinished page of the WoW Spine:
PS: Tom was visiting Z and I from Colorado today, so I couldn’t draw. But I’m off tomorrow as well, so I’ll do the new page tomorrow.
Hello,
My strange transition period seems to be coming to an end. So, I can define a set day for all updates. I will be updating Spine: Blindknot every thursday. However, that’s not all. From now on, I will be posting sketches and other illustrations at random. Check back the site every thursday for the main update, but also take quick looks here and there to see if there’s a new illustration. The best way to get updates would be the RSS feed, if you chose to subscribe to that, or check my twitter where I announce all updates. Cheers.
i got a sore throat and the ears are getting plugged. it’s gonna be a fun monday. I got three offdays coming so, I’d like to draw and draw and draw. My goal is to deliver at least two pages this week and maybe get this boring meeting scene out of the way, so we can kill some people again.
I’m very sorry about the inactivity and the lack of updates in the past 2 weeks. 2 jobs! Yet, seems like the film production has ended. So, until October or so I’ll be able to work on Spine but I can’t guarantee 3 page a week updates.
I think the next page will be updated either thursday or sunday.
Sorry guys, I’m really busy with work right now. Once the “Intercession” Post Production ends, the comic will be back full force again.
