Didn't Make the Cut

Here goes a Super Senior comic that was all drawn up and colored, but when it was all said and done, I didn't like it. What was lost in the comic was the pacing. I think there should've been a pause before the last panel. I also felt kind of guilty because I had published a similar Super Senior, while in college. So why am I posting this now? Because maybe some of you will like it and well...the blog needs some updates too. Enjoy.

Oops, Pow, Surprise!

Don't you just love comic graphics!

Well we're 6 months in to ColoredComics.com. I know I'm always saying thank you to you readers, but thanks! Just because its free doesn't mean you have to read it, so thanks for continued readership.

Now that I am a little further along, I can really look back and take a good inventory of what's been done. There some comics I've done that I love and to be honest, some I don't like (at least they were funny at the moment of creation). But understand there's a process to finding a rhythm and voice for your characters. There are a few post that I feel have a crude look to them, but again its a matter of finding a rhytm (just remember how The Simpsons looked in the beginning)!
There's been storylines that would have worked best if told in a daily format vs. weekly, but hey thats the fun in experimenting. I'm having fun and hoping to make a few of you laugh too.

Hopefully I keep having fun and you all keep reading. Look for either some random acts of boredom posted this weekend and or some bonus Super Senior and/or Toadyhog.

Random Acts of Boredom 3/21/08

RANDOM ACTS OF BOREDOM by Derrick Johnson
"Bat-Condoms"

Colored Comics Animated!

I would normally draw him like THIS.

No it's not really animated. It's just an animated style, in the style of Bruce Timm. Bruce Timm--the godfather of modern animation (in my opinion), the man created the look for Batman: The Animated Series, which in turn spawned numerous other television series, that emulated the art of Timm.

In other news, there was post a while back that was something of a premature announcement of "Big plans for 2008" and I believe I even said "definitely by spring" that some of the changes would be evident. But I'm not a liar, just a cartoonist...(which means I can announce plans that are delayed by several months) *rim shot*

But there are plans still to put together a little animated piece for the website (so the title isn't a total fake out), as well as ultimately launching Colored Comics Presents. In fact, in regards to Presents, there is completed art (5 pages so far) and a coherent, good story (compared to what I was doing---which I'll consider was an improv comic, but that was no way to start a webcomic, thus the reason it was axed). The only hitch to putting up Presents in the near future, is because I'm so pleased with its turnout I think I'll submit it for publication for the good ole' floppy book format!

So thanks for coming around again, only reason the blog hasn't been updated as of late was there was nothing to talk about and no sense in making up a bunch of filler--like Miller Lite, Colored Commentary is great commentary, less filler. Look for a Random Act of Boredom later this week!
