RELOAD!

RELOAD! published on No Comments on RELOAD!

Hey, I finally got around to updating and fixing all the backend stuff on the site (that I can remember being broken, anyway.) Chiefly, Revolver Knight is now readable again, should anyone want to go back and check out my old series. I could have done better with it overall, probably went in with a bigger scale story and world than I could actually use within the space of a real story for one. So, if you’re curious, nostalgic or feel like comparing my old work to now, enjoy.

I do toy around with the idea of redoing the series some day just because I still like the characters. (In fact I’m not *totally* against the idea of using my card based RPG as an RK reboot of sorts since both have their roots in homaging JRPG and old anime tropes; at the very least, cameo characters are all but guaranteed.)

As far as the actual nuts-and-bolts issue that had the site offline before, apparently having multiple MySQL databases run by the same user account creates *issues* and in fact can be an indicator to my hosting company as evidence of foul play (somehow) so I’ve gone through and created a bunch of redundant new accounts in order to keep the site from spontaneously breaking on me again.

Here’s a little treat for long time followers, back when I was just beginning to see how nice vector-drawn inking could look, I decided briefly to see how a do-over of my first long comic, Revolver Knight would look. Unfortunately, I was pretty burnt out from doing the series the first time around and kind of stopped at there, well that and a couple one-off side story things.

I still have a little interest in revisiting the cast, and they got a cameo in last year’s “Christmas special.”

Putting aside the general train wreck of mashed up anime and game tropes the story is made up of, on a technical level it bugs me that I have such uneven page margins and the text flow is off in a few spots. I did better attempting to detail the backgrounds while simultaneously screwing up the perspective- partly because I was just beginning to use the program for line art. Eventually I learned it was easier to cheat completely and abuse the skew and perspective tools! Also, FireAlpaca has a lot of helpful ruler tools, but I haven’t really put them to work yet.

Things I do like- main character is incredibly lazy, the frilled lizard sitting on his back, and a cameo by I-No in the crowd watching the unseen parade.

I’d be lying if I said it was a productive day today. I have mostly hashed out the basic rules and mocked up a starter party for my card game, but nothing I care to show off just yet (I’d like to show it off when things get more polished for sure.) Past that, I spent all day waiting on a package that never came and navel gazing, so it’s fitting to post and self-crit a little, don’t you think?

Crosspost Err’ Day

I’ve tossed up a couple new [+/-]’s on my webcomic subdomain without mentioning it here. Whoops. Well, there’s your link. Go, go, go.

It’s been a nice vacation week. My birthday was Monday, but I spent that recuperating from my real bash on Sunday with the girlfriend at King’s Island, which gave me a good excuse to finish the most recent D-Style Gaogaigar kit, likely finishing up my collection of those unless VolFogg or Kouryu/Anryu are announced.

At last, the kawaii-est God of Destruction we've awaited has arrived.
