I care about you.

ALL SIX OF YOU.

Which is why I'm letting you know that, If i get the time, perhaps I can start the David comic as early as this December.

I'm working of profiles right now, and I'm still buffing out some of the storylines (Hey, they were written by the 7th grade me.  I have to let the Junior High school me buff them out to make them suck less).  Once I get something I like, I'll try and move it in after a few weeks of one-timers.

Oh, man I sure hope this doesn't suck.  IT'S MY FIRST COMIC, SHUT UP.

-Matt

Okay, take the dick out of your mouth and listen up.

Here's what's probably going to happen:  By the start of the new year, I will try to get my "David" comic up onto the net.

HERE'S THE THING:  I don't want to drag so many loyal viewers of Awesome Comics into it.  AC was set up to be my random place of one-timers and funny tid-bits that I couldn't get away with anywhere other than the internet, and I wouldn't want to mix that into the furry crowd.  I'm going to let it be your choice to put my "David" comic onto your friends list, rather than just replace it with what's going on right now.  In other words, I'm going to make an entirely new journal for it.

Awesome comics will still run in the future:  it's just going to take some time before I can really get into it.  Right now, I've got a lot of anger to release onto story lines, and I've already promised that I wouldn't do it on this journal.  Plus, I really need to get some of my old ideas back onto the drawing board (for the sake of practicing how to make characters and situations seem believeable).

Some of the storylines I have in store are quite cliche on the outside.  But please rest assured I'm going to try my best to turn things around to make it unique.

Such storylines may include:

• Break-ups/Relationships
  
• Homosexuality (Oh my God).
• Fat people
• Video Games
• Teenage Angst/Depression
• My own twist of opinions on things you probably don't notice or care about (kind of like this comic).

If you said anything like "Oh Please" to the following, then I would adivse you to shut the hell up and start your own web-comic to see if you can do any better, asswipe.  If you said an "Oh Goodie!" to any of it, you're probably a furry and are just still excited that Matt Hemphill is finally going to get into this style and make the whole genre better.  If you said anything like "Meh, it sounds decent" then this comic is right for you!

Yes the comic is going to have drama, cliffhangers, and jokes relating to the behavior of real-life animals (but I'm still debating about that last one).  Despite all this, it will maintain my online-persona craziness and humor through some characters... actually, one specific character, but I'll get into that later.  And to answer an obvious question, no it will not be me; I'm still debating wether or not to actually bother putting myself in my comics (though it might work for a one-timer).

No, there won't be a first strip that fully explains who everyone is.  If you want to know about the characters, you'll have to take your precious time and read the profiles that I will write up.  Yes, the characters have backstories.  HOLY SHIT, MATT'S GONE CRAZY. 

You know what, motherfucker?  Jay Ward gave Captain Crunch a backstory, including the full names of his parents, so suck my cock.

More to come, so stay tuned.  If you have any questions or ideas, drop a comment.

Oh, if only.

Man that sounds good, you know?  Fruit flavor cereal with lime marshmallows?  DAMN.

Christ, I'm a good artist.

Here are some pictures of the Old Tucson poster signing I did on October 12 for NIGHTFALL Dark Asylum.  But first, Here is the poster one more time, just to remind those of you that may have forgotten.  (Click on thumbnails to get larger view).



And now for the pics...



Some of the first people to get their poster signed.  This was after the main stunt show "Dark Asylum" let out, and a lot of people were hyped to get posters, now that they saw the characters in action.  The little boy in this picture also recognized my artwork in the flash animation I did;  'kid has a good eye.



Some more people getting their poster signed.  The line forming in the picture above this one wasn't for me:  It was for the bloodletting show "Mental", but there was still, in fact, a little line for me; so don't think that I'm a total loser.



This crazy lady works in the security dept.  I hardly even recognized her at first, but then caught on as she played her role as the street character "Themla" (Or Louise... I'm not sure).  She made it her job to embarrass me by sitting on my lap and signing her poster with the phrase "With all my love".  This is also the first face picture I've ever posted of myself on the 'net since 7th grade:  I told you I was ugly.

Cool huh?  Of course its cool, I drew it, what do you expect?  Jesus.

I hate T shirt Hell.

I HATE EVERYTHING.

Honestly, do I kick ass or what?

1950's Fender reissue strat, approx. 12 inches tall.  Maple neck w/ skunktail, powder blue finish, 3 single coil pickups and retro Fender tremolo system.  All constructed out of Balsa wood and scrap Pine.  Materials I used:  Exacto knife, sand paper, hand dremil, hand Jigsaw, toothpicks, and super glue.

The pictures I have taken are nothing compared to what the naked eye can unlock in the detail of this miniature.  Example:  The metal bars on the pickups are erected at an arch (just like a real strat) and the bridge/tremolo are built and put together the same way as a real strat.

This will also be in the Pima County Fair next year.  And also:

THIS ART PIECE IS FOR SALE:  $125 or best offer (but I won't accept anything under $95, I busted my ass day and night on this project for months, and I've gained 2 permanent scars and what seems to be slight arthritis in my hands from this:  I want some goddamn compensation.)

If anyone decides to buy it, this piece will come with its own little wooden stand (with my signature and date, so I can claim my artwork without actually having to write on it), but I may not be able to give it up until I can send it into the Pima County Fair (where it will have more viewers who might be interested in purchasing this item, just so I can give everyone a fair chance) until then, save up.

Questions about my mini guitars, or a request on a guitar I can build?  Drop me a comment.

Based on that whole, "Is the tomato a fruit or vegetable?" question that everyone asks like idiots.

Oh, and by the way...  The tomato grows from a flowering plant, and carries seeds within itself around a coating of sustinence:  so it's a fruit, you dumbass.

Who gives a fuck, anyway?

-Matt

I hate punks.

A new userpic added:  It, again, perfectly desribes my webcomic... Every word of it.

Updates will hopefully come tomorrow.

Based on a Joke I heard from a friend.

Oh man, if there is a Hell, I'm certainly on the guest list.  But don't think that YOU aren't going there either,
smart guy.

-Matt

Seriously, I always wondered what the hell this guy's problem was.  Why is it such a big deal that, if you see something in the sky, you have to let everyone know what it is?  Who gives a shit?  You don't see me walking around the streets pointing at girls and saying, "HEY, TITTIES!" do you?  Does this guy have downs or something?  It's so stupid.  And then some dickhead has to go and correct him by saying "No, you retard, it's a plane" only to be fooled by the third, smarter guy who let's everyone know that it's superman.  How can you mistake a human-shaped figure to be a plane, let alone a goddamn bird?  Fuck this shit.
