Storytelling with Abbadon

Hey guys!

Here's an audio upload of me talking about what I think makes compelling and interesting storytelling (in comics and elsewhere) and a few hard and fast rules I think can be helpful. I'm tagging this 'tutorial' but it's not really a tutorial, just more of my own thoughts when thinking about the media I consume and produce. I may do a condensed video on the same subject at some point.

Cheers,

Abbadon

November 2016 Patron hangout is live

Hey all!

The hangout is up here (you'll need discord if you don't have it already). Here's the link if you would rather copy paste: https://discord.gg/5SvwPRs

We'll probably chat for about 2 hours or so, so feel free to pop in and out any time. There's also a text chat, which I'll check regularly, if you don't feel like talking on the mic, and you're ...

Happy Thanksgiving, you Americans. Here's the next page. I'm a huge fan of this one, I spent a lot longer on the lines than normal.

November 2016 Patron Hangout

Hey everyone!

This month's patron hangout will be Saturday, November 27th at 2:00pm Pacific Standard Time US (UTC -8:00). We'll be using discord , which is a great free voice chat/text chat service, and I'll post the server invite when the hangout is live. We'll probably run for about 2ish hours and I'll try not to talk too much about Jojo's Bizarre adventure and Dark Souls.

See you there!

Design with Abbadon #2

Hey guys!

Here's my thoughts on a few quick and fast rules of design you can use when thinking more critically about your own design choices. I've chosen to talk this one over instead of typing it all out because I think there's a lot to talk about here (maybe in the future will put together a proper guide). If you have any questions or comments, or want me to expand on anything in particular, let me know!

Cheers,

-Tom (Abbadon)

a lot of backstory on this page, and I may not be talking about the writing

Prints now available

Hey everyone,

As promised, I've set up a provisional store over at Teepublic for prints. There's also a single t-shirt available, but I'll be adding more (would rather design for a t-shirt than simply slap art from the comic on one). Ideally, I would like to be on a site such as Topatoco, which caters more to webcomic merchandaise, but Topatoco doesn't take new vendors between August to December and also has very strict requirement...

KSBD Print interest/poll

Hello everyone!

There's been a bit of popular demand for art prints/t-shirts over the life of the comic, so I've finally decided to take some provisional steps to get that available for people. I will most likely be setting up an online store for print-on-demand stuff this weekend (likely Saturday the 12th), where you will be able to get some art prints to order.

The option I'm looking at is Teepublic, which ships internationally and sells art prints and posters for around $8-16. I'm doi...

Six Inches Chapters 1-15

Hey everyone, here's another couple chapters of Six Inches! The new material starts on about page 71 if you've been following so far. I've got plenty more to post and I'll try and update it at least once every couple weeks or so, it's been pretty fun writing it out.

This is in no way a finished draft and if there are grammar errors/stuff that reads wonky please forgive me for inflicting it on you.

Cheers!

Here's tomorrow's page (with dialogue even!).

I didn't intend for Nyave to show up again as a character, but I hope given what I think she'll get up to, she'll be a lot more interesting than just 'human sacrifice girl'

Fashion Allison

Here's a cool Allison I drew, because I don't think I ever draw her fancy enough. I've attached the .psd file for your convenience if you're interested in re-coloring this or simply poking around

October 2016 Patron hangout (rescheduled)

Hello everyone!

Technical issues now resolved, we'll be having the October 2016 Patron hangout a week later than normal. Sorry about that! The hangout will now be at 2:00pm Pacific Standard Time (UTC -8:00) on Saturday, November 5th. As before, we'll be using discord and I'll post a link to the server a little bit before the hangout starts.

See you there!

October 2016 patron Hangout postponed

Hey guys, I'm very sorry to do this so last minute, but due to some major computer issues I'm going to have to postpone the 2016 patron hangout until a future date. 

The hangout will most likely be moved to next weekend (still sat) at the same time, and we'all be using discord as usual.

I'll keep you updated if plans change. Hope to see you there, and I want to apologize again, this is somewhat of an emergency situation.

Here's a quick preview of tomorrow's page! Got dialogue in this one already.

October 2016 Patron Hangout

Hello beautiful people!

It's time once again to do our monthly patron hangout. The hangout will start at 2:00pm Pacific Standard Time US (UTC -8:00) on Saturday, October 29th, and probably run for about two hours, if past hangouts are any indication.

We'll be using discord, which is a fantastic app for gaming chat, text chat, or voice chat in general (and it's free). I'll post the invite link to the server on P...

Seeker of Thrones 4 roughs

Thought you guys might be interested in seeing what a baby page looks like. This is basically as nice of a rough draft as I do before setting into actually doing the lines. I try to get a lot of the basic layout/expression down, as well as the basic shapes, to make it much easier to draw later on. Doing it this way (still pretty rough) helps me set up the composition for each panel and also the entire page without having to go back and re-draw already nicely drawn stuff.

Sometimes pages will g...

Delayed Page preivew

Hey all, here's today's page, I'm running behind on this one (it'll be up shortly however), so here it is. Still have to fix the anti-aliasing on the text but that's super easy, then have to finish the colors off.

Page preview 10/20/16

Here's tomorrow's page! The most action-y haircut in the world.

Page preview 10/17/16

Here's the very first page of Seeker of Thrones!

I'll probably do a little cleanup before finishing this. I can fit a lot more panels on a page new due to drawing in an 11"x17" canvas instead of an 8.5"x11"!

Seeker of Thrones cover (final)

Dropping this tomorrow!

Seeker of Thrones cover WIP

Here's the lines for the cover. Going to clean these up a bit and probably try and post the full cover tomorrow on the site.

Page preview 10/6/16

Here's tomorrow's page! That's actually a black page just before this one to pace things appropriately. I think this is the actual second to last page in book 2.

Page preview 10/4/16

Here's the lines for tomorrow's page. You'll notice they're a little unfinished as Nyave and the two devils are actually missing from the top and I'll probably clean up the left side of the top panel a bit. This is the second to last page/page sequence in the book!

September 2016 Patron Discord Hangout

Hey guys!

The September 2016 hangout is live (https://discord.gg/pYvcB)! Come hang out and chat. We'll be going for about 2 hours. 

That link is for discord, which is a fantastic chat app we'll be using for this hangout and future ones. If you don't have it, you'll need to download it ...

Here's the (still a little bit rough) lines for tomorrow's page! I've been wanting to get to this one for a while.
