WIP Wednesday: "This Can Work!"

The Crossroad (an Empires short story)
The CROSSROADThe “Leisure Stones” was a coffiene bar in one of Por Chalaenya’s meager tourist districts. Under ordinary circumstances the city of Por Chalaenya would be overlooked as a tourist destination, but Operation Thunderhead made the circumstances distinctly extraordinary—Por Chalaenya and the province it was in was considered a “secure zone”. As such, it was an easy place to ro...
WIP Wednesday: "New Old Comrades"
The unit explores options for their elderly Specialist-5.Cleaned up lines...Getting the colors started...Getting details and nuances in. The old uniforms are interesting because they used colored patches on their sleeves....and adding the camouflage for the modern uniforms. Believe it or not this one will be scheduled in OCTOBER! I'm rebuilding my buffer!
Best Get Out of the Way Doodles
If you know what's good for you!This is NO BULL, son!Scuttlebutt? Shuttle Butt? You decide!Uh-oh... got that ominous feeling...Later!
"Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate!"
Old MREs had a lot more dehydrated stuff in them-- there were dehydrated fruit "cakes" in foil wrappers that you were supposed to reconstitute with water, but few people actually did. We pulled out the whole think and crunched down on that chalky sweetness like barbarians.It was kind of like "astronaut ice cream" but with more life-choice regrets.But the two heavy hitters of the MR...
WIP Wednesday: "Accident Avoidance"
Above: the primitive pencils that get the ball rolling.Cleaning things up with inks... or at least digital inks.It was at this point I realized that I distinctly did not like the HUMVEE in the second panel, nor the coloring scheme I had chosen, even though it realistically reflected a lot of the post-war vehicles in the US inventory these days.I found an older HUMVEE picture I did and thankfully s...
Fun Times Doodles!
Whoah, you kids slow down! So wild and out of control these days..!Yes, Private Doofus, you get to play with your "bang stick".Oh, boy! It's like finding heaven!Looks like someone had a bit too much fun.Stay out of trouble... or at least don't get caught!

Get Away From the Office Doodles
Time to get away and go camping. The office is getting dangerous!This looks much better.Just watch out for parachuting beavers. (True story: beavers were parachuted into the wilderness to help restore the ecological balance of some waterways in the Idaho wilderness).My former supervisor wasn't happy about it, but then she wasn't happy about anything.Later!
WIP Wednesday: "Hidden Treasures", coming soon!
Above: where it all begins-- the rough pencil sketches.Most of the important inking done.Starting the color process with all the "splash color"...Throwing in some details!Almost there!
Junk Mail Doodles
More junky doodles for your amusement.Try to cheer up, bro!I... guess that's... better.Well, here's a person who found a way to be happy despite the circumstances!Later!
WIP Wednesday!
Another upcoming episode!Cleaning up the inks is one of my favorite parts of the creation process-- things start looking the way I wanted them to!All the wide-area "splash color" is next. A quick, easy, and satisfying way to make a lot of progress, really fast.Sharpening the details is probably one of my next favorite phases. To me, this is where I start entering the final phases of produc...
Campfire Doodles!
Sing that song!Yup, ready for the campfire, alright! Just don't get... you know, too close to the open flame.You also better stay away from the fire for a bit, mmmm-kay?Make sure your campfire doesn't attract any wildlife, too.Later!
WIP Wednesday! "Conex Life"
Above: the initial line work. I always like how nice and clean things become at this stage.Starting to add some of the big "splash color". I also did the gradient fill (the fade effect from a lighter to a darker color) in the background early; that's usually something I wait to do later.All the solid colors are pretty much done, some shading has been started as well.This part is pretty...
Army Safety Doodles!
We had an army safety briefing! Could you have imagined!?I think this is an unsafe roadway.Melt those tires as you Tokyo-drift that truck, sojer!Always embarrassing.Until next time... stay safe!

Guess What I'm Doing! (POOC)
A Patreon Only Original Comic!If you are wondering what it means, consider this:There are two kinds of people in this world:1. Those who can extrapolate obvious answers from incomplete data;and2.
Lookout Behind You! Doodles
Smarter than the average bear. Did you know that half the people you meet are below average? Some people get upset when I say that, but I'm just being mean.A slightly less scary animal. A lot of people actually get killed by cows, though.Thanks, safety guy! You saved us!I guess we're done here.Later!
The Sign Said...
Nothing like taking signs and signage 100% literally!Not all of my comics have some sort of deeper philosophical meaning or intention... sometimes I just do silly stuff for the sake of doing silly stuff. This was one of those times where I decided to take a sign literally.Medic training would of course involve carrying someone out on a stretcher, which is also called a "litter". I don'...
WIP Wednesday! A POOC!
A "Patreon Only Original Comic" (POOC) is coming!What could it be?Stay tuned to find out!
Awwww, Crap! Doodles!
Looks like someone's in a hurry. Will he make? His pants hope so!What was in that ice cream, bro?Future hovercars don't even run that fast.It is, but better check it first and make sure the coloring is right, if you know what I mean.Until next time!

An upcoming panel for July!Ink work mostly done... someone is deep in thought!Color added... starting to come to life!Final version before adding dialogue. I like how this one turned out, visually.
It Really Works Doodles!
Give it a try! What's the worst that can happen?Just let them nibble on you a bit.All about the NFT's.I heard there's a remake of Mr. Ed in the works, and it will be.... different.Later!
Down Time
What do the Jedi and Sith do during their down time? You bet they use the Force to make life easier! That's the whole point of having down time.So I wanted to have a conversation between a couple characters that wasn't just the usual "two people talking in the Drill Hall" setting and decided to have them driving one of the M-113's downrange for some sort of field exercise-- jus...
WIP Wednesday: A Minor Portfolio of Antagonists
Here is something a little different: a work in progress about some of the information and background for Empires, my science-fiction story being worked on. Let me know if this is interesting and if you'd like more of this sort of thing-- on the other hand, if you find it uninteresting and tedious, let me know as well and I will maintain these as personal notes for internal use. The Irrykanoi&...
Party Doodles!
Let's party, but not too hard.That's the spirit, French Dog.Everyone has their niche, I guess.Don't grab her butt and these sorts of things won't happen.Later!
