Captain Jim Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Thanks again, Patrick! My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...
Guest Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 BREAKING NEWS… I’ve decided that I’m going to start posting a new page of the Pyrate Comic Once every Week… I will post the new page sometime each Friday, so alla you Pyrates and Pyrettes have something new to read each weekend. (Excluding when I’m at Burning Man, and barring any Natural Disasters, including, but not limited to.. The End of the World, The Zombie Apocalypse, or the Y2K Virus finally doing it’s thing on the Internet. ) OTHER NEWS OF INTEREST I just got a Digital Pen Tablet for my computer, so starting with tomorrows post, NO TREES WILL BE HARMED IN THE PRODUCTION OF THE PYRATE COMIX. (How Green is that?) Page 52 is the first page that I’ve done on the Tablet (other than a quick sketch of Bloody Bill, that was the first drawing I did, to get the feel of it.) The Tablet is kinda cool, but it will take some getting use to, after drawing the commix the traditional way in pen and ink on paper for so long. I still want to experiment with sketching the page in pencil, then scanning it, and inking it on the tablet, but I can do the digital “pencil sketching” on the tablet and save time. I also want to check out a different program so I can fully utilize different pen pressure to change the line width when digitally inking. Fun, Fun, Fun…
madPete Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 your artwork is awesome Patrick! I know how much work it can be to put even one cartoon a week up. mP Aye... Plunder Awaits!
Guest Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 I’m getting better with the stylus and the tablet, and I downloaded a trial version of Manga Studio…played with it and immediately ordered a copy of their full-power version (EX)…. Even with the trial version, I’m almost done with the next page. There are a few things that I’ll have to touch-up in Photoshop, but with the EX version, I wont even have to use Photoshop… I use-to have to draw everything in pencil, then ink the page, then scan it, and then color it in Photoshop… Now I can do everything in one program that is designed for cartooning… And the EX version has a cool “Import 3D “ function so I can quickly add background details to the comic that would have taken too long to draw traditionally… I’ve also been reading Scot McClouds books on cartooning, so there will be some improvements to the comic as well… Dang… I’m really excited about the upcoming improvements….. Aargh!
madPete Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Nice! Mr Red "Wake" is now appearing in the Pirate comix! Aye... Plunder Awaits!
Captain Jim Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 I don't think Mr. Wake is going to like his hair being quite that grey...close, but there's still a little red in there somewhere...(In truth it's a very good likeness.) Nice, Patrick. Very nice. Huzzah to you. My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...
Guest Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 It might be because the picture that I was working from... Anyway...The drawing is so small, that when I tried adding some red in his beard ... it came out pink.... I figured that grey would be preferable to pink....

Guest Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Ya might have ter get out yer magnifyin' glasses for tomarrows page..... Th' text came out kinda small....(I'll try to fix it for the next pages....) Maybe I tried to fit too much talkin' on a single page...... Oh well........
DSiemens Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Totally saw the pyrate comics thread before finding this one. Oops. I'll see if I can delete my other post. Any ways very great comic! I look forward to more. Absolutely hilarious!

Guest Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Well page 66 is done and ready to post Friday morning.... This one should stir-up some comments........
Guest Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 I don't know if it's Photobuckets or the settings in the pub.... I just ran a test to see how tomarrows post would look, because some of the last post are coming out too small...so I tried to fix that, but whatever I do, they all come out the same size. I did it through Photobuckets, and as Attach Files in the pup... I'm posting them as .gif 72 dpi dimentions 612 x 832 498K but even as .jpg 100 dpi dimentions 850 x 1156 2.82M They come out the same size.... (I'm guessing it's the Pub's setting for thumbnails....) So I guess if you have bad eyes, you'll have to click on the image to see it full sized when I post tomarrow.....
Red-Handed Jill Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 They came out plenty clear - and hilarious as always!
oderlesseye Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 Hehe..that was funny Patrick... As always ..you brought it ! http://www.myspace.com/oderlesseyehttp://www.facebook....esseye?ref=nameHangin at Execution dock awaits.

Guest Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 I still haven’t figured out which way I want the story with the Plunder Bunnies to go yet… I can make them horny little buggers or I can have them totally incompetent.. Either way would be funny. So what does anyone think ?
oderlesseye Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Plunder bunnies maybe too incompetent to slake their lust.. ? http://www.myspace.com/oderlesseyehttp://www.facebook....esseye?ref=nameHangin at Execution dock awaits.
