TonyPro's comics! Yay!
So, here is my first graphic novel, in addition to one or two little asides. The novel is entitled Necropalypse, and is for a school project, otherwise I'd never get it done. Even so, the work is slow going; and even slower going if I am going to be coloring the pages. This first bit looks like absolute hell is for two reasons: This is my first time inking a comic, and in doing so I realized that in this regard, I really fail. The second is that I used Microsoft Paint to color it in. If anyone knows of a better coloring program, PLEASE inform me.
The below comics used to look good; I swear to God (back before they were inked and colored). I just figured I should make my pencil sketches more presentable for the Internet.
It should be noted that I do not consider these great works of art. I put a lot of time into each page; but not necessarily a lot of work. Please give me feedback so I can opt for more betterness. (I do NOT classify "dude ur gay lulz" as feedback. sickening and offensive, yes; helpful, no.)

Nearly 2 months after my last post--Okay, my scanner having a meltdown has nastily coincided with my realization of just how much junior year sucks. I have the next 12 strips pencilled out, actually, but have decided not to ink them and to pass algebra instead. I think I shall also upgrade to this newfangled "photo gallery" layout for the benefit of everyone with dial-up. <3
March 24--I noticed after the completion of these last two that my drawing has stopped sucking. It's still terrible, granted; but I think the term "suck" henceforward has ceased to apply. Woot.
There has been some confusion about why Secret Agent Chick's badly drawn gun goes 'phut phut' instead of 'blam blam'. It's because she is a secret agent. And she has a silencer on her gun for extra 'phut'-ness.
March 21--The knitting didn't work out so well; so I'm focusing more attention to the zombies, now (as one ought to). I whipped out these last two strips in English class today and rushed to get them online, which is why there are so many embarrassing mistakes (the secret agent chick is actually trying to steal the secret Soviet color-changing telephone technology), so please excuse me. Secret Agent Chick looks kind of like the hooker in The Brain That Wouldn't Die just before she shoots the dude with the glasses, doesn't she? I have also decided to translate all the important Russian lines into English (whenever I get around to it) to alleviate the confusion. First bite in eight more panels (prolly)!!!1! I've also decided to go all Sin City on the blood; so wearing a beret while reading these is now obligatory.
And joy to everyone on this rapturous day of 100,000 views!
March 16 (3 a.m.)--OUTBREAK!!!!1!11 Well, not really. But there's finally a zombie on this page; amirite? We'll have our first bite approximately nine panels from now, and after a quick helicopter ride, hell breaks loose n' stuff:D:D.
Incidentally, I am truly honored to be featured on the front page, of all places! Thank you, my esteemed modz0rs. That s what I love about this site--the pure, base, organic-ness of all the inputs which coagulate into a massive interwebbish ball of pure rad.
March, like, 47th--Meh, yeah, so the helicopter had to take up more panels than I thought and I added some extra lines, so there should be zombies on the next page. If there aren't, it'll benefit the betterness this comic definitely needs. The miffy bit is, I'm off vacation and in the midst of four AP classes, have started applying for colleges. Plus, for reasons best kept to myself, I have taken up knitting again. But in respect of the theoretical circumstance that someone's checking back regularly for additions, I'll shoot for a page a week. K? Marvy.
Mar. 5--Here's the violence I promised you. Moar to come, plus zombies on tha next page!!!!!1! Und I got around to finishing the dude's monologue, so no one can accuse me of making these for the sake of the zombie violence (which is baloney; it's really just the zombies). Oh, and I've noticed a multitude of typos and punctuation errors throughout, which is particularly embarrassing/ironic as 90% of my contributions to this site are comprised of grammatical and punctuation corrections.
(The worst one here being, "Diana Moon Glampers, the Handicap General<COMMA>...")
"Tell that to the United States government, commie!" hehehe...
Mar. 3--There'll be action on the next page; I promise. I skipped a whole page with the dude and the girl walking down the street. I figured I should show a bit of the lives of the people the story revolves around before the outbreak; but I percieve I am boring you. So far all we really have for a plot is a can of Chef Boyardee, a syringe, and Barbara's Diner. So yeah, there'll be secret agents and firearm use on the next page. And bear with me with the Russian dialogue. What they are saying is actually quite important to the story; it just looks better in Russian, plus it's badly written, anyway. I'll figure out something at some point.
And someone started a THREAD! I had no idea people were actually reading this. Toomin, I love you. There will be an outbreak soon; promise!
Mar. 1--I've got about seventy-four (give or take) pages pencilled out, and subsequently the foreboding task of inking, shading, touching up, cropping, and lettering each panel.
I'll get on that, then.
Feb. 27--Okay, update for moar betterness--scrapped the crappy colored files, hopped into my Chevy Malibou, skedaddled on down to my local craft store and sprung five bucks for some India ink and a paintbrush. This stuff allows for shading, better detail, and a much less cheery atmosphere, which is a good thing.
