Dork Tower, Wednesday, February 4
Today's Dork Tower is up.
Clich Here, There or Anywhere to see it.
I got some snarky e-mails about today’s cartoon being a cut-n-paste Photoshop job.
It’s not. Look closely. Every frame is individually drawn.
I wanted the frame-by-frame LOOK of cut-n-paste, for the pacing of the strip, but the honesty of hand-drawn. So I drew a “master frame,” used a light table (aka “technology from the last century”), and did each new frame individually.
Because I care. That’s why.
Dammit (sniff) I CARE!
****
This is not one of the big announcements I've been hinting at. However, this is a cool announcement, and I'm glad I can finally make it.
Mythos Buddies have been announced by Dreamland Toyworks.
They're 2.75" tall, there are twelve of them in the first release, and I had a blast designing them. Tom Meier sculpted them, making them even that much cooler. I believe they're being solicited next month.
The two images above are of Buddy Cthulhu and Cthulhu for President. The latter is a unique body mold. There are three uniques, while the other nine colorforms are based on the body mold of Buddy Cthulhu.

Warpcon was great, thanks for asking!
They also gave me a lovely award, which I had to leave over there, as it was so fragile.
I do, however, have photos, which I'll try and get up soon.
****
I got out of London just before the snow hit. Otherwise I'd probably still be there.
Only regret: not being able to help my mom build this snowman, something one's not often able to do in Southwark.
Way to go, mom!
