I heart Scott McCloud's Making Comics. Though this blog post has a little bit on expressions too. But not a lot. :wink:

8.) I spend too much time drawing comics for people other than the comics I'm supposed to be updating. I take full responsibility for the most recent example of this. :D Ah, but even you cannot take full responsibility. :( Not only am I working on writing "that other" comic this week, but I am draw...

Things that explode in space don't have rings. Rings only happen when things collapse, like debris falling into a black hole or dust orbiting a planet and forming a ring around it. I know, every space movie ever has rings around exploding things, but that's only because they look cool- not because t...

Wow. Thanks, man. Lords of Death and Life is probably going to be about fifty pages, so yeah, it's nearly half done. I will go back and finish A Mad Tea-Party at some point... I just can't say for sure when. My life is very unpredictable. :( As for "done by hand," well, for me at least doing more of...

Lords of Death and Life

As I've just hit page twenty, I now qualify for pimping of Comic Genesis! The irony is, at twenty pages, this thing is nearing the halfway mark... http://www.jonathondalton.com/death-life10.jpg It's a comic about a Mayan farmer who has dreams of his own death. The updates are unfortunately still spo...

Personally, I don't like [type] comics. Now that that's out of the way... My main reasons for participating in the WCCAs, both voting and watching, are entirely selfish. One being that I want to attempt to flog my own fairly adequate creations on unsuspecting readers, and the other that I want to di...

Its very interesting what Klio has been talking about recently; where do you draw the line and say this is a comic and that is not a comic anymore? Well, I still haven't decided if I consider the new Grittie a "comic" per se, but I will say this in its favour: 1. If your new version is more popular...

I feel inspired, suddenly... I feel a new project coming on. I occasionally write interactive fiction--text-only games. What if I made it images only, instead? That would still be sequential art, right, albeit with the reader deciding the sequence. Anyone know of any examples currently out there? O...

Lords of Death and Life , a historical fantasy set in Pre-Columbian Mexico, started in 2006 and only started updating regularly in November. It's still just getting started, but if nothing else, I think I've got a good shot at nomination for environment design. I know I've been plugging my other co...

We need a category for "historical fiction" next year. :)

If I've voted in previous years, do I need to sign up again this year, or does the registration just carry forward?
