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...

Come see me at SpringCon

I’m a bit apprehensive but I’m going to be tabling at my first convention this weekend in St Paul at SpringCon. It’s been a long time coming to table at a comic book convention and now that I have two complete issues under my belt and a bunch of prints ready to sell, I think it’s time to try my hand at this thing. I don’t know table specifics or anything like that but the convention is at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in St Paul. If you’re in the Twins Cities area, come on by and check it out. It’s...

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 undergoing testing

This might be my favorite page of Variables so far. It’s a good feeling when you feel you’re still improving on a page-by-page basis and the overall atmosphere of this scene really works for me. In nine days, I will be attending my first convention as an exhibitor in St. Paul. It’s a little bit terrifying and I’ve been working furiously on the comic for the past couple of weeks to get ahead. Next week, I will work entirely on convention-related things and hopefully, will crank out a few drawings good enough to sell to attendees. I’d like to get... View Article

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
