Brown Troll.

Wow… the conclusion to last week’s jaw-dropping action over on Babayka-Lives. And another Troll sketch here on this very blog (I’m in a very giving mood this weekend.) I still harbour a strong desire to do a Troll horror story one day. Right now it’s just a sketchbook thing, but maybe one day.  

There’s still plenty of time to get your Babayka-Lives feedback in. In fact, really, feedback is always welcome. But right now especially. I’d also love to know what country readers are from, too? Using Project Wonderful, I can now see recently which countries Babayka-Lives is generating the must readers in. First is US. Second is UK (my home country.) And third seems to change almost daily.

A Call Out.

You could maybe argue that page 38 (the page that’s just gone up on Babayka-Lives) is the big turning point of this story. Why not check it out and decide for yourself?

Late last week I put a call out for feedback on my deviantart page. What with my web-comic being nearly six months old now, it seems like the right time. To get things started, I’ve thought up some questions to get the ball rolling. I’m in no way expecting people to answer all of these, but if you see one or two you fancy, and you wanna help out and get involved, please do.  

Q: More often than not, where and when do you usually read Babayka-Lives? I.E. Evenings at home on your home computer? During the day on your work computer? Middle of the night under the sheets with a flashlight and tablet?

Q: Who is your favourite and less favourite characters in the series and why?

Q: Should I start a Babayka-Lives Facebook\Twitter account? Is that something you wanna see?

Q: I’m thinking of giving away something free to those people kind enough to donate on my site, but what should it be? Realistically, it needs to be something I can easily Email them… but what? A one-off pin-up just for donators? A colour copy of one of my pin-ups? A scan of a very quick sketch? Or something else? What do you think would be fair and for how much?

Q: Are you actually finding Babayka-Lives scary? If so, what scenes creep you out?

Q: Do I have any female readers out there? Or is this series just something that would alienate your average lady comic-book fan?

Q: Would you like to see more Babayka-Lives pin-ups? If so, who would you like to see more pin-ups of and what should they be doing?  

Q: Are you enjoying this web-series? If so, why? If not, why?

Grey Troll.

Or Pebble Eyes as I call him. As promised, this is me putting my (maker) pen where my mouth is and drawing another Troll.

Hopping to get a fair amount of artwork done in the next few weeks (crosses fingers.) I’ve been away from the drawing board way too long.

Tune into Babayka-Lives tomorrow to see Alina get made an offer she can’t refuse.

The Morning After.

Over on Babayka-Lives this week, someone needs to work on their morning after pillow talk.

Lettered and printed off some pages this week from what could be the second Babayka book. I know what I’d like to do, should there be a book 2. Like most sequels, it would be about expanding the characters and setting. Fleshing out the world. Just to prove things are in motion, I took this quick pic on my camera phone.

Also thinking of doing another Pin-up at some point very soon. Which Bride would you like to see next drawn as a pin-up? Answers can be sent to the web-comic’s Email address here. Get your votes in.

Blue Troll.

For anyone who didn’t catch yesterdays instalment over on Babayka-Lives, this week a revelation about the late Mr Mack comes to the surface as Blake and Conner chew over their current predicament.

What with recently reading the first volume of Orc Stain, and fantasy being very in right now, I decided to do a quick Troll sketch for fun last week. I think Trolls are a very underused monsters, probably because  they’re stuck firmly in the fantasy genre. If all my time wasn’t taken up by doing my web-comic, I’d love to do a fantasy-lite Troll horror story. I just feel like Trolls are gonna be the new Zombie craze in the coming next five-to-ten years. I just think people are bored of Zombies and Vampires, and Trolls are next in line to go massive.    

I wouldn’t be surprised if I have another stab at doing some Troll sketches in the coming weeks (if I can find the time) so stay tuned for those (if they happen.) First, I’ve got a whole shedload of lettering to do before that.
