Pleasure delayer.

In light of some interesting discussion I saw on D.J. Coffman's boards, as well as his "Host your own webcomics, Dammit" article, I bought a years worht of hosting from Dreamhost for Bohemian Zen rather than rely on free hosting communities. I've figured out the Dreamweaver enough to desing a layout and update, and with Chad helping me along with that (He's got the skills) we'll have the site up as soon as we can. We already have the backlog of pages ready, so we're set on that front, just got a little more to go on the presentation. Mike, Chad, and Josh have come up with a little scheme that will give us great content beyond the comics, and E.T. is sealing the deal on the letters. As soon as the site is up, we'll post a link and move forward from there.

It's been a long time coming, to all the people who aren't reading this, and we want to be sure that once we've launched we can be consistent. So far, we've only been consistently delayed, mostly because of this being a bit of a learning experience, and my now becoming familiar with the terrain.

Yip! Jump!

I figure while we're so close to releasing things on a regular basis that it'd be best if I get used to blogging three times a week. I had put it off yesterday, but today in trying to put off doing some actual work, I thought this would be the best distraction.
I've got to get cracking on another strip later, or maybe some colors for Special Edition. I've dived headfirst into working completely digital, and have been screencasting work directly from my computer on stickam and Ustream. Stickam was a crash-fest at first when using it with a screen recorder, so I moved things over to Ustream. Ustream worked, but didn't seem to pick up as many stray viewers as Stickam, and the damned Youtube transfer doesn't seem to work. (just checked it again, still hasn't transferred) Someone told me they updated stickam, and now it seems to work, so I may stay there. I need to learn the ins and outs of video formats so that I can upload some hi-res tutorials on vimeo. I also need to get paid so I can but more memory for my computer.
I've been giving serious consideration to starting up the visual terror stuff again. I felt proud of that work, and at the time I had done it, being against our current administration wasn't quite cool and popular yet, so I took alot of flack for the couple of pics I did. The whole situation was bad at that time, so now may be a better time to do something like that. Just got to find the time. I've got so many damned ideas for pics, it's sickening. I've been looking into a couple of political sites that may be good grounds to grow those ideas.
Oh and for those that peek here for the art, I do have something to show. Just a little pic I did in my spare time for fun. It was inspired by Red Bar Radio's 'Rape Room' bit. if you are unfamiliar check out http://redbarradio.com . They are pretty hilarious. Both pics are tastefully censored, as the uncensored version was apparently breaking photobucket's TOS.



You gon' get raped!

Let us hope that this time we are full of win.

Stickam was working for the cam, mostly, but I've been doing lots in PainterX lately and found that it wouldn't hold up. Ustream seems to be able to manage it, so I'm gonna test it out a bit, and if it streams well, I'll pimp it.

We're so close we can smell it.
edit: I replaced the Ustream player with the stickam one.

A wall of music to keep the ghosts at bay,

I have to spend the next few days seeing where else I can put this other than DD to get it out to more people each week. Still lots of work on the plate. I took the dive and went completely digital, which is funny as the stuff for SE I'm finishing now is still just tightly penciled lineart.

Here's a preview of Slit in Strip form. The majority of these will be simple three panel deals.

To everything, turn...

I have a notion this engine may be starting to turn over. Just some final work to be done to trick this puppy out, and I'm hoping some luck falls into place. Schedule is already figured, and I;m literally just working to have enough backlogged and start. The new year will bring an interesting wind, so sayeth the meteorologist.

I'll update this with some preview art soon.

Testing.

Experimenting with live drawing... I don't know how long it'll be live tonight, but I want to try it out.
