thanks for the follow up, doc. i've had the announcement up for a while and according to the stats, looks like the readership of the old site is dwindling away accordingly.

Cred In the fallout of the greater depression, the world has shifted to a singular, credit-based currency: the cred. Cred comes in two forms, based upon how it is transferred. If transferred via virtual means, it is refferred to as Ecred. Otherwise it is just 'cred.' The older forms of currency and...

The world has changed drastically in a short amount of time. Once the premiere world power, the United States now hobbles along, crippled by economic depression. All nations of the world feel the resulting shockwaves and face difficulties of their own. As people lose faith in their ailing, bankrupt ...

Page 43 - Adam, the first sentient computer, doesn't like to be referred to as "artificial." A longtime reader was curious about this, asking if it was a matter of political correctness. There's actually quite a bit of history behind it. Some of it boils down to semantics, but a lot of it has to do ...

is there a way to forward my comicgenesis URL (jameslong.comicgenesis.com) to my new official site url (getvirtual.ca)?

i seem to remember that being an option with the new, non-operational siteadmin...

i've been in a strange place lately... not sure where it came from or where it's going. it's like some odd sort of clarity just sorta bashed me in the face and made me realize a few important things about myself and life. Nothing's changing as far as the Forsaken goes. Drawing is taking forever, but...

two words:
Chicken Enchilada.

interesting stories all 'round. I guess I should just be glad I hadn't already started the project before the other party backed down. I've only done one other commissioned piece, and that went through without a hitch. $50 for an 8x10 full color piece. Probably only ended up getting about $5/hr, but...

Why is it people are always eager to commission you to draw until they realize you plan to charge them fairly for your work? Last week I had a co-worker approach me with a commission opportunity. Basically, she wanted to get a *very* large drawing done for her 14 yr old son as a christmas present. B...

i use 'cred' short for credit... but that's a currency type that's tied in closely to the type of economy in the Forsaken universe. And, as someone else mentioned, it's not all that original. Don't forget the ubiquitous "E" monicker. Suddenly boring 'cred' turns into a much more original 'e-cred'. O...

Shazbot!

...s'been awhile so I probably should post something. I'm currently putting together a workflow series of images while working through 36. If you're interested at all in how I use photoshop, check it out. Ultimately I'd also like to add some tutorials on there too, maybe on colouring, inking, etc. T...

thanks adam. makes sense to me, too... but still doesn't look like I've had a gob of takers on the whole fan thing. Anywho... I'm still working on page 35. It's a pretty action-intensive page, so i'm really taking my time with it. I just have two more panels to color and it'll be ready, but I've alr...

So I spent a bunch of time this week getting the whole facebook thing going and now I'm starting to wonder why I bothered. I suppose it's my own fault. I posted the question and didn't hear anything from anyone; could have taken it as a sign. So here's the dealio. I'm done posting a journal on the m...

just got done spending like 3 hours doing linework for 2 panels. sigh. i dunno... i suppose I can tell the difference when i take all that time, but i don't know if anybody else ever will. I'd saved a jpeg of dorothy going apeshit on a grandfather clock... somehow it got over written so sorry... no ...

...Blink... feel like all i've been doing lately is drawing, working, sleeping, and eating on occasion... Say hello to another indoor-exclusive winnipeg winter. Yes... it is already winter here. Has been for the last week. But enough complaining. I did spend a little time researching webcomic review...

Been a rough week for me. Not anything weird or strange happening... just missing home, tired of not being close to my friends or family... that ol' chestnut. finished page 33 today. It took a long time, mainly because it's got 9 panels. :P Yeah, remind me never to do that to myself again. I'd like ...

E-FREAKING GAD. So remind me to never do a 9-panel page again... I'm on the linework for panel 8 and I'm utterly tired of looking at the page. There's really no way to get around it because as I mentioned previously, I want to get the story rolling now that the basic plot's been laid out... but ther...

October 12 09 Today is Canadian Thanksgiving. Happy Turkeyday everyone. I will also celebrate US thanksgiving next month... twice the pumpkin pie. :D I didn't get an update done today mainly because I've been slacking for the last week. Right now I've got the page 33 layout and writing all done, whi...
