Page 177: Fun and games
It took me forever to figure out what Charity’s hair should be doing from the back and side since I don’t remember how the outlines connected before if they did. So I made a model out of clay that is at least physically possible and I’ll use as a reference now too when needed. I really should take a figure drawing class at some point but practicing just sounds so un-fun compared to learning about writing or laying out a comic.
Where can I buy copies of Innuendo? It’d be a good change of pace from Cards Against Humanity, I imagine.
Sadly the game does not actually exist yet, but it seems an intriguing enough idea that I have faith someone will kickstart something like it eventually.
Hi,
I am sorry that most of my comments that I have done today whilst going through were pointing out mistakes. I am merely wanting to help and not upset anyone.
I enjoy your comic.
I was curious about something though.. I saw a comment recently someone saying they were reading your comic back in 2009 and I was curious.. when did you originally start this comic? All of the comics I have seen were from this year originally.
No offence was taken. Learning of mistakes is no fun but having a better comic IS, so I always welcome help with that. I lost the old font I bused before the hiatus so fixing some of the older stuff will take a bit of jerry rigging but I’ll do my best.
As for when I started, it was back in 2011 I think. that was on a different website, and I wasn’t sure if it was worth the effort to back date the pages when reposting them. I restarted the comic a few months before moving it to this website, and am pacing myself a bit better (only one page a week) so I don’t burn out on the art side of things again. Having a real tablet to draw on is also making things easier and should let my art not take so much effort as when I drew everything with a mouse.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask, it’s always nice to know that someone is reading BDWH and I’m not just throwing it at the internet with out anyone noticing.
Wait, 2011? Why does it feel like I’ve known about the comic for longer than that?
I did go on hiatus for a good while…
I’m bad with dates so I could be wrong but the copy right on the old website auto filled in 2011 and the first pages say they were posted then so that’s what I’m going with.
I don’t think BDWH had any presence on the web before I started on page 1. unlike most of my other stories, there wasn’t much time between the initial brain storm and when I sat down to start cranking it out. mostly that was due to be spending the prior month and a half working on the idea for a different comic then when I started to draw it I figured out I didn’t have the artistic skill to capture the story. so I instead tried to figure out what kind of story I could draw, and what I could do with the medium that I couldn’t do with a novel that would add to the story. I’m glad i went with the style I did, but still feels weird spending proportionally so little time brainstorming big picture questions. I mean i spend at least 2 weeks on that stuff for a short story, and like 6 months for the novel I’m workign on.
Also, I might delete any comments reporting mistakes after I fix the mistake to cut down on confusion. So if you want to say something else too it would be best to put them in two separate comments.
Thank you for replying to my comments, it’s good to see my comments are being noticed.
This is a really great comic. I just finished caught up after a day of binging. I was wondering if there is an update schedule yet?
Wait scratch that just noticed the Thursday tag.
Yep, updating once a week Thursday at the moment, but if you donate $3 through Patreon you can see next week’s comic early.
