**EDIT!** I neglected to mention that I’ve a guest comic over at 6-COMMANDO today; I’m lucky enough to have been asked to fill in one of twelve pages for a story written by Christopher Wrann (who wrote a fill-in chapter for reMIND between volumes 1 & 2). The story was a collaborative effort: 13 artists on 13 pages. Thanks to Mathieu Moyen for seeking me out for the project. Now it’s time to get cracking on MADE in USA again.
What’s happened in the meantime?
The next several pages are laid out. There will be no text for the time-being and I’ll be looking into a site-layout that allows the pages to be viewed more quickly as a result: my belief is that ‘no reading’ will lead the viewer to demand less time between pages to hold interest. I’ve posted more on the history of this project as earlier blogs. Because tutorials and testimonials have helped me so much, I’ve started documenting my illustration progress under the impression that everyone has something to teach and learn. If I post the methods I use, maybe someone will teach me the proper method!
I’ll start that when the next comic posts (which will be up on Monday). It won’t be too exciting; I’ll be talking about my page template, what it’s for, why I built it and how, the changes it’s gone through and what I’m using now.
See you in a week!
Hi – I came here from 9-Commando.
I gotta say, i’ve really appreciated the artwork and framing you have of your characters here. The sense of mud and muck being thrown up with shell explosions is wonderful. The lack of word baloons gives a wonderful sense of the overwhelming noise and chaos of the trenches.
I can suspend my disbelief for a robot like searcher of the american dream … a little wobbled at Uncle Sam and his cursive text .. but I presume that’s a parable for a sense of this search you are intending to show us through the nameless clockwork windup soldier.
I look forward to your further development of this concept. It’s now saved in my webcomic list in ‘thewebcomiclist’ – but I see that it’s not updated within that list. I think there is a little bit of HTML text you adjust after each page upload so that it can get captured by thewebcomiclist …

*googles* … ok, the text seems to be as follows for your HTML page header …

Looking forward to whatever and wherever your story goes …
