New Copper Road! 3/22/12

Vote here to see it!

This strip goes out to all the Twitter warriors. While I might not have gone to the extremes of panels 1 and 9, I ride the emotional roller coaster of 2-8 regularly. (Well, maybe not 5. I'm not popular enough for that.)

Also, I think it's about time to do an archive update, so those horrible readers who don't keep up with their voting can see the Copper Roads they missed. I've added four more recent pages. Enjoy my generosity!

Finally, the next Copper Road should appear on April 1st - probably right at 3am EST - to try and get me that new-month boost. I would have posted another before the end of the month, but I've dropped out of the top 20 and I'd rather save my ammo to make a better push next month. Let that be a lesson to you, readers: The more you support me by voting, the more Copper Roads you get!

Rawr! It's a dragon!

I'm not posting *every* sample image I've done today (god... no one wants to see my attempt at an anthro ferret) but this one was so stupid, I had to show the world!

I realized I should have a 30-minute colored pencil drawing in my portfolio, so I set out to make one that also added some variety to the freaky creatures I've already created. Enter: The DRAGON! Now, let me go on record as being totally racist against dragons. I think dragons are lame. I'm sorry if we can't be friends because of that, but it's true. Dragons suck.

Buuuut, certain potential clients LOVE dragons! So I will stop judging and I will start drawing dragons! (Dear dragon-loving future clients, please don't read this post until after I already have your money.)

Anyway, this is my attempt at a dragon. The scan, as expected, is awful - that gray in the background? It's ORANGE in real life - but it's enough to show what 30-minutes of effort will get ya.

Win, lose or dominate?

At risk of ruining the discussion, I didn't really mean for today's comic to be as vague as it's been interpreted. Still, I've greatly enjoyed the results and I can't bring myself to chime in and confirm it either way, so I'll do it hear. (You few blog readers out there, let the people have their fun. It'll be very clear in tomorrow's update anyway.)

If I had thought about it, I would have switched the hover text to something less... conclusive. Oh well, it was a fun result anyway. Sometimes it's best for me to sit back and let the fans take over. The only downside is when their pet theories get busted. Sorry, people! Sometimes it's a timing thing with the comic. I like to keep moving and keep it fresh!

THAT BEING SAID, the next two weeks relive some past glories and indulge in some Tiffany antics, but we can all enjoy that, right? I've been sitting on this story for a long time, and it's time to break the glass and tell it!
