Official Hiatus

Well it's official: as of yet I'm incapable of holding a full time job and finding the eight to ten hours it takes me to conceive, write, draw, paint, and texture a page of Fishheadman. It was good fun, and I promise I'll come back to it when I can find the time.

In the meanwhile, there's a new project I'm starting called "Wizard Magic". It's all in pencil, and is completely stream of consciousness; Minimal plot, character design, and meaningful allusion. Just soulless, demon summoning 20-somethings in a magic house hastily drawn with a #2 pencil.

"Chillaxin"

I'll be square with you. I have a job now, so FHM may be later than usual from time to time. I need time to adapt, and schedule ample time to unwind by playing Bioshock, because we must always prioritize.

The interesting thing about working what is considered full time in first-world countries other than this one is I have a lot more time for contemplation upon the FHM universe, and a lot less time for execution. Having a job that requires so much monotony that my body literally takes over means that I have ample room for my mind to wander. In the past week I wrote the first seven pages for a new D20 Modern campaign setting, thumbnailed the most totally epic page of Fishheadman, made some excellent, spoilerific concept art for later in the story, and wrote the script for two pages.

This coming page is going to be slick as hell. The script has undergone some rewrites and I had ample time to work around the layout and dialog in my head and on paper. I even have a lot more of FHM's backstory laid out.

As soon as I figure out a way to draw at work (which believe me, is gonna happen) we'll be seeing a leap in FHM activity. One advantage I have is that I'm left handed for drawing and right handed for everything else. So I can dial, manipulate the UI, and talk, all while drawing.

In place of the usual comic, here's a picture of my desktop:


The wallpaper is a photo of Nikola Tesla and Mark Twain just chillaxin'. Sir Tesla is wearing a party hat because it's that kind of party.

20: Reunion

I've tried some new techniques with this one, and I really like the outcome. Hopefully it won't take me a full day to finish each page once I get the hang of it.

19: Litigiosity

After a much needed break and regrouping, I present the new and improved Fishheadman.



You might find yourself saying, "Wait, what the fuck?? That wasn't new and improved!"
To you I say "you suck at discerning things."

Official Relaunch of Fishheadman

I've been mulling over a new format, knowing for certain that I want to change it. My thoughts have come down to whether I want it to be more comic book, or more comic strip; frankly, I've come to hate the current webcomic style. Not for webcomics in general, but for my own.

So the question comes down to this: Should I post black and white three panel strips two to three times a week with big colored strips every other week, or should I keep to the page a week schedule, but flip the page so it is standard comic format?

Leave some feedback here, or go to my livejournal and participate in a vote.

New Additional Non-Fishheadman Content!

Wow! Well, another busy week of not doing Fishheadman. But fear not! Much is lurking in the Fishheadmanitosis, a particular cluster of gray matter that only those born with 3 nipples wield.

I did quite a bit of movie editing, and made 2 music videos and 2 machinamas. I bear fruit into your eyes. Not embedded fruit though, because 4 embedded youtube videos is obnoxious.

Also, my novel, Project STFU, is going very well. I get new flashes of inspiration while reading H.P. Lovecraft and listening to Dan Carlin's Hardcore History.
