My first attempt at a f'real comic... if you don't count the Dr. O'Tool Zine.
I hand drew and inked this, and in the process I learned a few things:
1) Inking by hand is just as tedious as I thought it would be
2) My scanner suxx0rs... getting 14" x 17" into a legal-sized scanner proved to be more awkward than I thought.
3) I think I like a brush better than a nib
4) Those Walcom tablets sound mighty nice now
5) I now have an absolute, near god-like respect for Mick Gray
Anyway, enjoy! There will be (hopefully) 1x per week.
...and yes, the salmon is wearing bling. Get used to it, since this ocean gets a lot stranger than this...

 by NineInchNachos on 10/19/2009 @ 8:21am | looking good comrade. The inking of the sea weed turned out well. You should definitely pickup a drawing tablet... you can get some good line variety out of it. I like your notes as well. Excelsior!  |

by NineInchNachos on 10/19/2009 @ 3:50pm | some reason this conversation is not showing up in 'recent chatter' on homepage... |
 by Thorax O'Tool on 10/19/2009 @ 5:42pm | Wait until I get some more of the characters inked up! |
by Thorax O'Tool on 10/19/2009 @ 6:39pm | I'll for sure be at the next CLAW meeting.
And RR... you're right. Humpies are asshats. |

by Thorax O'Tool on 10/21/2009 @ 7:52pm | Two things, Sir:
1) There is a whale, named Walbert. He will be showing up soon, as I am finalizing his design. 2) in regards to the twitter whale: WTF? |
