MB - November 2015 Wallpaper (almost final)

There's a couple white things that need to be colored in on the upper-left corner, but Atari said that he would get on it as soon as possible. : P

Also, I think it's gonna take a while for Simon to understand the concept of Thanksgiving, don't ya think? ;I

We're planning on the December wallpaper as we speak, and I'll give you a hint with three words: Ugly. Christmas. Sweaters. :P

Chapter 3 Page 4 final

Just Ramirez and Donovan making small talk while they swipe a card on a secret compartment in the elevator.  No biggie. :>

November wallpaper INKED

Simon still doesn't get the concept of Thanksgiving just yet... Don't worry, you have about a week left to get it right. ;) 

Chapter 3 Page 4 sketch

Believe it or not, the references to IIDX and Pump It Up have relevance; there is a Round1 arcade/bowling alley that opened in the Seattle area earlier this year!

At the time I wrote the script, Pendual, the latest IIDX game back then, added in some secret expert courses where if you played the course twice on a certain difficulty, you would unlock a hidden song for that particular difficulty. 

Chapter 3 Page 3 hi-rez

I'm deeply sorry for not uploading the sketch of this page; I was super busy the past couple of days, with my birthday and doing stuff and all. ^^;

Anyway, Page 4 is being worked on as we speak, and I have the sketch of that coming in a jiffy. : )

Chapter 3 Page 3 WIP

Not a lot of fixes, save for a minor change on one of the lines, and the keypad should have buttons for multiple floors like a real elevator. XP

Ramirez's secret is out. D:

Dennis Carter cameo confirmation

As it says on the tin, this is a drawing of Shrkb8t's character that will cameo in MB!

If you're reading this, Shrk, please confirm that you're good with the design! The sooner we know, the sooner we can put him in there! :)

November 2015 Wallpaper WIP

We're very sorry about not being able to do the October wallpaper (after all, we're still new to this crowdfunding thing), but we are making November's wallpaper as promised!

Lemme know what you peeps think!

MB Chapter 3 Page 2 hi-rez

I don't think they're that evil, Narrator Sam; just give them a few pages before passing judgment. ;I

MB Chapter 3 Page 1 hi-rez

I know, right?! Happens to me right when I have a good idea and actually wanna write down, and then I get asked to go out, almost every time without fail. XD

"And we are UNDERWAY!" 

- Tim Kitzrow, NFL Blitz (1997)

You guys are getting three pages this week! The 3rd page won't even be shown to the public until next friday, so this could potentially guarantee exclusivity for over a week on one page in the long-term!

Sam and Ramirez could be besties with their weird hair being in common. :P

Chapter 2 Page 27 (FINAL)

We finally did it! The end of chapter 2, and at a breakneck pace, no less!

I'm just happy I finally have an artist who is gonna stick around and see this project through for a change. As I mentioned earlier, we are gonna upload pages here on Mondays, and we'll put it up to the public on Fridays! This way, you guys will  get a bunch more exclusivity time with these pages, and keep everyone satisfied!

Ramirez + Donovan concept art (almost final)

As it says on the tin!

Only a slight change is going on Ramirez where he should have a slight bit of his original hair color to show he dyes it. ;)

NEW UPDATE SCHEDULE + CAMEOS INCOMING!

Let me first off give a very heartfelt thank you to every patron that has donated to this comic! As we approach our 2nd month since properly starting this campaign, Atari and I are very happy to be giving you guys some awesome stuff, in addition to  giving out the extra pages that would have never been possible without your help! 

That being said, I wanted you guys to be the first to know of some exciting news heading your way: Once Chapter 2 is ending, we are changing our upload...

Chapter 3 Page 2 WIP

Fun fact: Johnny Ramirez (guy on the left)'s appearance was partly influenced from Jhonen Vasquez, creator of Invader Zim and Johnny the Homicidal Maniac (guess where his first name came from, despite the fact I've never read that comic?).

Lawrence Donovan (guy not on the left)  isn't modeled after anyone in particular, but I intended him to be this "cool black guy" similar to Blade, or Raven from the Tekken series.

I hope you guys will love these two as much as Sam and the ...

Chapter 3 Page 1 WIP

Now to finally introduce the Mulder and Sully of the MB universe, Ramirez and Donovan, two guys who work for a secret organization tasked with arresting or taking out hostile vampires/werewolves/cougar Twilight fans/etc. That last part may or may not be true. : P

Chapter 2 Page 27 WIP

The FINAL page of chapter 2! Expect some very minor changes in the final version. Also, two more pages are being uploaded as I type this, (which is kinda impossible considering I have to finalize this post first before I can do so, but whatever. 8I )

Happy Birthday, Lydia! (Full-Rez)

I'd like to apologize on two things: First, for not uploading this in the original resolution to you guys sooner; I was going to bed not long after I uploaded this to everyone. ^^;

Also, I realize it's a little too late to upload the wallpaper for our $10 backers; We're making up for this by planning out November's  wallpaper as we speak, and we should have that up for you guys very soon!

But yeah, I wonder what Lydia is wishing for? XP

Chap 2 Page 26 FINAL -UPDATED-

-And now with a sign that has something on it! :P-

You think Sam was playing dumb just to get a rise out of Simon? XP

Chap 2 Page 25 FINAL -UPDATED-

-And now with better-looking buildings!-

Lydia has her priorities, you know. ;I

Chap 2 Page 26 WIP

Can you just say that a little louder, Simon? XP

Chap 2 Page 25 WIP

Oh geez, look at the time. ;D

Chapter 2 Page 23 FINAL -NOW WITH LESS SMUDGES!-

UPDATE: Those smudges on the bubbles were irritating the frick out of me, so I had Atari get some Windex and wipe em off. ;I

Sam is just saying the very thing we would've said from that horrible pun, last page. XP

Also, Lydia has her priorities straight. : P

Chap 2 Page 23 Hi-Rez

Atari gave me this page first instead of the 50K illustration, so, I'll give you guys this page a day or two early, just for you guys. :P

Chap 2 Page 24 WIP

The only change to this page is that Atari forgot a quarter of Sam's line on the 2nd panel, as you can see.

But yeah, #Plan9HYPE!

Chap 2 Page 23 WIP

Feels pretty good to not have to worry about making any changed to the page. :P

Have I mentioned I really love Lydia's hairstyle whenever she works at the supermarket?

Page 22 Hi-Rez

Since it took a while to get this page ready, I'll wait to upload the page until Tuesday or Wednesday. : P

Page 21 hi-rez

Yyyep, this might be pushing the boundaries for the comic's rating if you know the double entendre there. ;I

PAGE 22 WIP

So, Atari is sick, so this page won't be finished until Saturday or Sunday, so I'm thinking about uploading it to the public on Wednesday, so you all will have at least 3 days to check out the final page.

Thankfully, not a lot to change this time; only change is I would like to have that top panel look like she's doing parkour across the skyscrapers and whatnot.

Page 21 WIP

So, I'm still trying to figure out how to handle this early access thing for you guys; I think how I did it last time worked, where I upload the first page to everyone, but give you guys the 2nd page for 3 days (give or take) before I show it off to everyone else. What do you peeps think?

Also, a few changes are gonna happen to this page: The first line's totally getting replaced since it's a repeat of the last line from page 20, and there's also a spelling error. Lastly, one of the panels...
