Take it to the bridge! Tensions build on the bridge and another page I want to thank the colorists for working so hard on. I saw John, who color flatted this page, tweet this:
This week’s flat color@Bearmageddon page is over 370 layers. That’s 370 * 4125w * 6300h ~= almost 10 billion pixels. My hand is sore.
That doesn’t even include the work that went into penciling, inking and the rest of the coloring Noah did.
Anyway, enough horn-tooting about our hard work. I have a few announcements. First, if you live in So Cal, Friday night I will be at Meltdown comics competing in SUPER ART FIGHT. I’ll happily sign anything you bring as well or draw in your sketch book too. Or just hang out and chat. It should be pretty fun, I competed in Super Art Fight in Boston and cleaned up when I drew a pretty awesome dinosaur puppy that melted the audience’s heart.
Also in New York next month Malachai and I will be keynote speakers at Webvisions. This will be geared more toward our presence on the net rather than in comics, but it will be a lot of fun because Malacha will be there to do the Axe Cop Q&A. My whole family is going to be going. My Dad used to live in New York and has talked about it our whole life. It will be cool to get to finally go there with my Dad.
What else? Well, this is all Axe Cop stuff but there is a bunch of new prints available in the store. Also, another short of the Axe Cop show came out from Fox ADHD this week and it is awesome. Also, another new episode from RugBurn which you should subscribe to. I for one want to see a Bearmageddon series or movie. Maybe we should just hold out for the movie on this one.
Alright, back to my life. Thanks for reading, I love this comic.
Ethan
Oh man I hope Nigel gets eaten.
…and gives the bears indigestion.
Nah, someone will save him. Though, its about time for a major character to die.
I gotta say, I love how the struts of the bridge emphasize how “caged in” they are in that first panel.
i appreciate that obervation. I like how this scene has turned out so far.
I love Dickinson’s teeth.
Ethan please tell me that was an intentional play on words. Tension bridge… Love it
nope… sorry I am rarely intentionally clever.
Time to die, Nigel!
Nah, if anything a stoner would be more likely to follow the awesomeness of Dickerson. At least the ones I hung out with. Nigel is characterized pretty splendidly. God I love this comic…
Tell me Nigel is going to get some character development or something, he’s pretty two-dimensional for me at this point. I like the heated discussion about jumping off the bridge though. It’s like Walking Dead, but with BEARS.
Have you ever met someone like him? Not necessarily his specific ideology, but someone who is so vested in being brilliant in his or her own mind that they never ever learns from experience. Nigel is 2 dimensional because people like him are 2 dimensional. But we can always hold out hope, I guess.
I’m holding out hope that both Nigel and the girl get mauled. It’s been over a year and I’m still waiting form my maulings.
I’m going to guess that they split up, Nigel and Burton try to hide, and Nigel manages to survive only because Burton hides less well and gets eaten. Then Nigel pops up again later in the story all crazy…
epic strip looking forward to seeing the next one =)
thanks!
This comic is so awesome
Sorry there is no new page up yet, no word from Noah again. I’ll post it as soon as i get it!
Tell him to hurry, we’re dying on this bridge. Heh, heh, heh.
I’m up to speed now. Well done.
