You’ve got red on you

This is the last Blake page of the issue! After this, we finally move back to the detectives in Atlanta, who I haven’t had the pleasure of drawing since early in the summer of 2011. I’ve started work on Variables: Flux 1992 but what you see here is the last completed page I have for Variables. That means I need to get back to drawin’ and push ahead before I can work on re-formatting the comic so don’t expect to see that posted for several more weeks. That’s about all I have this morning.

The test goes… poorly

I debated back and forth on whether to update Variables at all today because I’ve spent the past two days working on a huge project that will greatly affect how you read the comic. I don’t know if I will switch the comic to this format entirely or run both it and the format you see here for awhile to gauge reader response. I’ll have more details on it for Thursday’s update, along with an issue for you to read using the new system. It’s pretty awesome and I’m excited to roll it out in full force. This week’s update...

The lab

The first panel on this page is one of the finest I’ve done in Variables. I’m really happy with how it turned out. All that time spent sweating over backgrounds paid off on this page, as I wanted to really give the feeling that this group is operating out of some shady warehouse in an industrial park. I think the page does a good job of conveying that message. As you’ve probably noticed, Variables is updating once a week again… This is because I’m tabling my first convention this weekend at SpringCon on the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in St Paul....

Blake’s back!

It’s been a long time but we’re finally moving back to the 1992 arc to conclude the story. After all that time off, the story is shorter, more action-packed, and much more engaging to the reader. I can’t wait to get to the third issue when things go a little insane. For the next two weeks, Variables is going to return to a weekly schedule while I get ready for SpringCon, a convention here in the Twin Cities. After that, the comic will return to either a twice-a-week or a three-every-two-weeks schedule until this issue is finished (20 pages). After... View Article

Another issue complete

This is it! The final page of the issue is done! As you can see, events transpire, cliffs are hung, etc. Now, in my attempt to be as annoying as possible, I’m heading back to finish the 1992 arc so 2002 is going to stay as-is for the next few months. With my first con coming in a few weeks and my workload being a relative unknown at this point, the comic will update once a week for the next three weeks. After that point, expect to see it return to a three pages every two weeks schedule. As always,... View Article

Well, Karter starts fighting. There isn’t a lot to say about this page other than that. Karter doesn’t like killing people but in certain situations, he certainly isn’t above the act. The brand of zealotry that he subscribes to overshadows whatever moral compass he may have. As always, click through the image below to jump to the (nearly complete) first issue of Variables 2002.
