Web Comics. 326 – Dogs and Cats. Tuesday, April 19 – 12:00 AM Today’s comic is a bit more universal than usual, I think. I’ll admit it, I’m a dog person…but cat-owner Sarah really liked this one, so I think fans of felines won’t mind. After all, the cat is the funnier one in the comic. Apparently Nintendo agreed with the sentiment of this strip as well, since (as I’ve very recently learned) you can’t really do much at all with the kittens in Nintendogs + Cats.

So I’m back from NoBrandCon in Eau Claire, Wisconsin! Here’s a picture of our booth, complete with banner! But yeah, between selling stuff, signing stuff, drawing stuff, playing the Philips CD-i and Famicom Disc System, duking it out in Brawl with other players, and vengefully stealing a level from Chris in Munchkin to win the game, it was certainly a weekend I’ll always remember. Long blog post today, but finally, one more thank you to the fans for their perpetual support and feedback. -By Matthew. Shtick of Gum. Ages. Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal. Sinfest: The Webcomic To End all Webcomics. Yep.

Lackadaisy Expressions. Boy, I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I started this. I've had requests for some sort of expressions tutorial dating back a while now, so I figured, "Sure! I can explain expression drawing...and it'll be way better than all those tutorials out there that are nothing but charts of generic expressions. Yeah! Just give me a day or two to whip something up... " Um.

Sometime a lot more than two days later, I have this messy behemoth and the realization that I haven't a clue how to teach expression drawing. There's just so much material to cover, and so much of it is like intuitive language translation, I can't figure how to put it into tutorial form any more than I could draw a picture of how to speak Russian.

Anyway, I found all I could really do was try to explain ways to teach yourself...and then add some pictures.
