Title: SD:DS
Post by: arashi on June 05, 2007, 01:08:20 AM

Hi everyone, I'm in the process of overhauling my DS website, and as a side project to it I created the SD:DS mini comic. It's in the format of japanese 4 panel comedy comics. The SD stands for Super Deformed, which is a japanese term for life-size characters rendered 1:4 size.

The first comic is up on my deviantart account and the idea for it came one night a few weeks back while watching boxset 22. I've already penciled out a few more strips. Here's a link to the comic, I hope you enjoy it! Look for the overhauled Darkness Falls and more SD:DS in the future!

PS - A while back I also remade my DS music video to the Toadies Possum Kingdom, if you'd like to see that, it's here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQsOeKRMOoo

Love the bat wings!  :D  Not at all conspicuous - no one would ever suspect a thing.  [wink2]

Nice work! That song is just perfect for the scenes you picked out (even though I suspect The Toadies had a very different idea in mind with the lyrics  ^-^).

I didn't know you drew!    I'll go there though not today.     I have wanted to learn a cartooning style for some time now.    Stylization is hard for me, and I also want to take real characters/actors and draw cartoon versions.   Can't figure out how yet.

Thanks! I'm glad so far people liked it.

Magnus - cartoon/anime is all I can draw. I am in awe of people who can draw realistically.
