Special PinUps

From the beginning of this new year we retrace the history of our comic month by month, but we haven't shown yet all the amazing stuff we created. In this special post I want to show you all the PinUps realized during the 2011. 

Have you ever noticed tha we have different headers on the top of our website? They are loaded randomly and they are composed by a PinUp combined with a catchphrase taken from the TV series:

I'm going to die... in a dungeon... in Cardiff!

I'm definetly a mad man with a box

Things sometimes don't happen to me in the right order, especially weddings!

Do you want me to repeat the question?

One of the best catchphrases in the TV series is "Basically, Run!"; it summarize perfectly the character of the Doctor! Enemies must run away from him, but also companions have a lot of that "run thing" to deal with. We tried to portray this quote with our personal style:

We often use this image as a header for our posts or other stuff. It's basically the same but without the cathphrase and with our logo

When we introduced Limeykins, our tiny mascotte, we designed a new logo to include our lovely green teddy bear.

Apart from the logos and headers, we have made many illustrations during the last year in order to accompany our strips. The next group of PinUps is named Silent Nigths. While Eccly and Tenny are asleep, Smithy is frightened by a Silent perched on a ceiling fan, and he also stole his fez!

This is also the first appearance of the Rose Doll, a lot of people loved the fact that Tenny is holding it while sleeping. We chose to make the doll appear even into a couple of strips (this and this).

Some of the illustrations were made during a LiveStream session where Elisa has shown the making of a particular drawing. The following is a good example of how things go from the scratch.

One of the best illustration made by Elisa was dedicated to a great friend of us: Lady Soliloque.

These are her favourite characters from the Who-verse. To be more precise, we have Jack, Ianto, Tenny and Simmy.

Beside the illustrations and the strips, we promoted some events which required custum images. The followings were realized for our contests (The script contest and the Christmas contest) and for a project we're working on (The Rescue)

This is quite all for this year, but before leaving you, we want to remind you that the big day is arrived. Tomorrow is going to be our first birthday and we are working on something to make this day special. Anyway, just to help get you in the party, this is a special image dedicated to birthdays!

See you tomorrow!

PS: If you didn't notice, all the images are clickable ;-)

Ronin Revolver

Hi guys,
we received and gladly share the press release of a new comic project. They need your help, so take a look:

"Ronin Revolver: Samurai Western at its Best!

The RONIN REVOLVER ANTHOLOGY showcases stories set in an Old West touched by Asian influences.  As this world progresses through to modern times, out-dated traditions drift off with the wind, replaced with modern counterparts.  Funds are currently being raised at Kickstarter.com, an all-or-nothing funding site where certain pledge amounts receive special incentives; some incentives include printed copies of the anthology, art prints, and real-life people as characters in the stories.

Set for an early 2012 release, this online anthology will be offered for free, a new short story every two weeks.  But the creator needs your help.  Funds received go toward compensating the illustrator for all his hard work.

S.A. Williams received a B.A. in Literature from Florida State University.  He fell in love with the writing of Chris Claremont's Uncanny X-Men, as well as other contemporary writers who use themes lifted from society and other literary genres.  He's also an avid reader of the Naruto manga, which helped inspire some themes for the anthology's stories.

For updates on this project, visit http://ronin-revolver.blogspot.com.  For pledges to making this creator's dream happen, go to Kickstarter.com and type "Ronin Revolver" in the search engine.  Funding on Kickstarter.com ends on November 22nd."

The Rescue - Teaser

Hi guys,

this time we want to introduce you a new project! A big project (at least bigger on the inside)!

We are going out of the box... literally, we want to make a real comic, not a simple strip... well, it'll half a strip and half a comic! It's to early to talk about this stuff, but it's growing and it's becoming real!

You know, we're crazy, we're mad, and we want to meet a mad man with a box, so here is the idea: Comic Who is going to cross over the Doctor Who universe in an epic comicbook! It will be funny, very funny, very very funny ^_^

I'm actually writing the story (the greatest story never told ^_^)  and I can count on two great artist for the realization of this comic. The Comic Who universe and our tiny doctors will be drawn by the well known Elisa Moriconi, while the Doctor Who universe and its mad characters will be drawn by Jessica Palumbo

We made a little teaser for you and we really hope you like it and you will enjoy our new project. We will give you more information and we'll show you something more precise as soon as the project evolves.
