Tackle

July 14th, 2010 [ Tags: , ]

I’ve been told that tackling a co-worker is not exactly an appropriate response to a stressful situation, especially in your first week at a new job. But, well, Ally may be prone to outbursts of physicality that are not always appropriate. Also, sometimes you just gotta tackle a mother fucker.

The second panel is a huge departure from my typical style. I had already used the ultimate angry face in the last panel of the previous comic so I wanted to see what else I could come up with that would be different but also communicate unbridled rage. I chose to emulate the Ukiyo-e style of Japanese woodblock prints popular in the 17th to 20th centuries (the Wikis told me so). Ukiyo-e samurai images have always kinda freaked the shit out of me with their crazy crossed eyes and gritted teeth. I figured it would also creep the shit out of you all if I drew Kane in that same style. Had a lot of fun with this panel. If enough of y’all dig it, I might do a small print or something in this style.

    and fingernails become claws. would devil horns on the temples fit with the Japanese theme? I don’t know if they have similar looking devil in their culture, I think I’ve seen it but that may have been in post ww2 art…

    You gotta do a panel with Kane as a kabuki actor – kinda like Samurai Showdown. You simply must.

    No wonder Kane’s computer crashed. If he gets angry, a stormy sea appears behind him. I guess salty water does funky things to your Mac.

    “Also, sometimes you just gotta tackle a mother fucker.” ^^
    That made me lol even more than Kane, and I totally love Ally going all Badass Bitch on Kane´s ass.
    FFFFFFFFF! ^^
    (Her Face somewhat reminded me of a Female Kohrne Berserk (Warhammer 40K) a friend of mine made a few years ago, In my mind Ally is shouting “BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!” ^^ )

    EPIC Expressions. Seriously. I’ve said it before, it’s becoming a trademark of YP ;)

    That is some serious **** that these young people are in. I mean, doesn’t Kane use an external HD? Hit save every 20 min people

    I’ve become such a save whore because of lost work that now my left hand presses the save hot keys when I’m freaking drawing on paper!

    @Jamie & Gale
    Just yesterday I was reading a BOOK and wanted to BOOKMARK (no pun intended -.- )
    the fucking page I was on. I engaged Facepalm, took a real bookmark and put it in there.
    (It´s really not good to be working with PC´s all the time. ^^ )
