084: something to tell you

by kris on January 22, 2012 at 12:01 am

author’s comments: Look, less than a week between comics! Tentatively, I’m going to try to keep to my Monday/Thursday schedule, but I’ll definitely keep you updated if my school workload gets too heavy and it becomes unsustainable.

At some point, I’m going to get to draw people not being sad. :

If you don’t understand what Sarah means by “Did Adrian tell you?” you should go back a few pages; I know it’s been a long time since Sarah and Adrian were talking.

Yeah, girl, bite that lip.

Comic Remix

Hi guys! A little bit different today. So, last month I joined a project on a forum I’m a member of, and basically the point is that a group of webcomic artists are all assigned another person’s comic. Then you pick any page in their archive and redraw it. The one I drew hasn’t been revealed yet, but the remix of Bridges was posted today and I ADORE it.

It’s a remix of page 37 (one of my favorite pages, funny enough) and I am so so impressed. For one, the layout is so much better than mine. That’s something I really think I’m pretty weak at, but don’t work on because I suck. :T For another, I’m so ridiculously impressed by the artist’s attention to detail. His style is so much different from my own, but these are so clearly my characters. He captured everything down to Sarah’s eye color and the ring she always wears on a necklace unless I forget to draw it.

Anyway, I’m so happy to have participated in this project, and I’d like to link you to Elektro’s other work, which can be found here: http://comicfury.com/profile.php?username=elektro

If you’re interested in the rest of the project, including what I did (which, like I said, isn’t up yet) it’s being posted here: http://comicremix.thecomicseries.com/

site redesign

Okay, I redesigned the website; there was much frustrated CSS-related crying involved. I’m not 100% happy with it, but it looks a lot better on my iPad now. Before, the green and the beige seemed to be tinging the comic and making it look murkier and browner to me. Seems better now.

I’m really really REALLY open to ideas about how to make the site better, so if you have any suggestions (especially about color choices!) please comment and help me out.

EDIT: Haha, okay, new design was unpopular with pretty much everyone I asked and I didn’t like it either, so I quickly reverted back to a similar design to the old. Still really really open to suggestions, but popped it back to the old for now. Thanks for the feedback.

2011.04.21 explanation

So, I usually don’t really make excuses when I don’t get a comic up — I just don’t. This time I feel like it’s warranted, though. The next page of Bridges is one of my favorites and I began working on it immediately after I posted the last one and it was going really fast — it was almost completely done and it was totally fun and I think, honestly, some of the best art I’ve ever done.  I was done for the night, so I closed photoshop and tilted my computer to watch a TV show and accidentally unplugged it.  I didn’t think anything of it until I opened the comic file I’d been working on and it opened as a completely flat black rectangle.  It still showed the preview, so I thought there might be something I could do to recover it, but I tried everything.  Here’s all I have left of it:

And that’s full-size. I could barely eyedrop colors off that if I wanted to. It was turning out to be a totally awesome page and I was so excited about it and now I have to start from scratch, scanning and everything.  It’s so hard to be so proud of something and then have to start all over.  I know this sounds overdramatic, but it almost feels like a miscarriage. :\ But I’m pretty much over it and ready to start fresh, I think, maybe.

2011.01.21 new site

hey, this is mostly to test the blogging feature and see if i’m doing it right. also to inform any readers coming across the site that i’m currently in the process of migrating servers and implementing a better system. i have an actual host now! bridgescomic.net and bridgescomic.com both point here and you can use whichever you like to get to the eventual nice version of this site.  while construction is underway, you can still see the old wordpress blog at http://bridgescomic.wordpress.com, which is still the same. but this place will be a lot nicer when  i’m done. just, pardon the mess for now.
