There really was a snake in the woodpile, but it almost definitely wasn’t a rattlesnake. My dad did shoot it, but the emotional trauma was added to heighten the story. The longer script had something about how both the snake and my dad were both just protecting their homes and kids (the snake was to have eggs in the woodpile). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1556591395761-Y43971PZPWBA3Z5AAI4P/The-Snake-p3.jpg the snake - The Snake P3 I got really into the white ink splatter on these last two pages.

Obviously. Since your eyeballs are constantly vibrating to establish depth, and since he’s only visible with one eye, he seems to move. Isn’t science fun? It’s an interesting otherworldly effect. What is this story about? There’s a ghost and some kind of extra-dimensional monster, so who’s this jet pilot guy? He’s Kilroy, government agent/ action guy. He’s an agent of I.N.C.O.G.N.I.T.O., an acronym that I never worked out completely. He starts the story on a mission to track something that fell to Earth that his bosses think is the recently launched Russian satellite Spudnik. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1556606042354-41IKI45E960IOU422ZT4/page-02.jpg It Came From Dimension 3! - It Came From Dimension 3! p2 This comic was partially inspired by the works of H. P. Lovecraft. The ghost guy, Sahir, was inspired by Abdul Alhazred. The script has Kilroy wandering under the full moon to The City Beyond the Dunes, which can only be found by dying men. Again, based on Lovecraft’s Nameless City. Kilroy drinks from the Well of Second Sight and then he can see Sahir, but the rescue party thinks he’s delirious from dehydration. I didn’t write dialog in the script except for this page: panel 2: “This looks more like a potato than Spudnik. I’d better make sure this potato’s not hot!” panel 3: “That’s odd, the Geiger counter is reading lower than even background radiation. Stanger still, it’s cold to the touch!” panel 4: “Hoo, if only it could cool the rest of me. If I don’t find some shade, I’ll be done for.” panel 5: “I feel as if some invisible force is compelling me over that dune…“ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1556606045422-U60EI4ZGSZRJ9UBGIPCU/page-09.jpg It Came From Dimension 3! - It Came From Dimension 3! p9 All the City Beyond the Dunes stuff was beyond the scope of the project, so there’s a 7 page jump here. Kilroy is recovering in the infirmary and the kooky scientist (every comic from the ‘60s had one) Dr. Dinnerstein is now analyzing the meteor/ space fossil. His assistant is his more practical daughter/ Kilroy’s love interest Kitty (every comic from the ‘60s had one of these too). Remember how the meteor had less than background radiation and was cold to the touch? That’s because it is absorbing radiation to wake from its space voyage… and now the Dinnersteins are X-raying it. As the monster comes to life it the only thing to project forward past the plane of the page; All the 3D stuff had been receding until this point. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1556606045747-M3Q9JMSZ3YT7M7GSL6ON/page-10.jpg It Came From Dimension 3! - It Came From Dimension 3! p10 “Aw hell, Kitty’s in danger again.” let’s talk about the monster here for a minute. I devoted a lot of time to making sure it felt both alien and like a guy in a rubber suit. I referred to the monster in the script as “Po’tate” because of the Spudnik connection. I know the satellite was spu-t-nik, but I was sticking with the homage to the ‘60s and their propensity to make little changes like that. Also, it looks like a potato when it’s dormant. Po’tate is actually an explorer for his species, and it is even dressed for interstellar travel. The hard crustacean looking parts are actually a separate creature of which the Po’tate species are parasites. The weird mushroom coming out the mouth is the sensory organ of the parasite, and the frilly bits below are a filter feeding system. I told you I spent a lot of time designing the thing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1556606048472-1NP2CBL7YZMYJW4XA7SX/page-11-ghost.jpg It Came From Dimension 3! - It Came From Dimension 3! p11 Early in the process of making this comic, I had plans for Sahir to only be visible under a black light. I wasn’t even going to hint at this feature except for a panel on a left hand page where Kilroy would be shouting “don’t you see it? It’s right there!” and pointing to an empty space. Just beyond that, on the facing page, would be a fake ad page for a black light. It was an intensive process figuring out how the black light function would work: the short answer is printing in a light yellow that can’t be seen under normal lighting conditions but will show up under black-(really more purple)- light. Factoring in differences in paper brightness, florescent lighting compared to sunlight, and printer capabilities proved to be a formidable challenge. There was also the issue of blocking. If Sahir was going to work as an invisible “bonus feature,” then every panel would have to work both with and without him. This page does a passable job on that front. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1556610887898-54HIXDA7V3QPX88OUA4R/page-12.jpg It Came From Dimension 3! - It Came From Dimension 3! p12 Ultimately, the black light idea had to go. 3D glasses work because of retinal disparity. Your eyes get two slightly different images and use that information to determine depth. Hold a finger a few inches from your nose and close one eye, then the other. It’s like that. So if one could control what information each eye was getting, those depth cues could be faked. So, just put a colored filter over each eye and you’re set. It’s easy- in theory. If the colors aren’t filtered out cleanly, you get “ghosting” which ruins the illusion. Getting the right colors so they filter is easy if you’re working with RGB (the spectrum of light screens use) but incredibly tedious when working in CMYK (the spectrum of colors you can get with a standard printer). The colors that would filter out were so light that they didn’t turn to black in the other eye. To eliminate ghosting completely required a grayish background… which then wouldn’t work with the yellow ink. I’m not going to say it can’t be done, just that it couldn’t figure it out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1556606051295-M7WIEFVYBYPUT2FBASQE/page-13-and-14-fixed.jpg It Came From Dimension 3! - It Came From Dimension 3! p13 and 14 “Why is Sahir RED instead of blue?” He is blue. It’s the black space behind him that is red. This is the first time you’ve seen him against a black background. When you close your red eye, you can’t see him, just like in all the other pages.

His 30th birthday was coming up, so I decided it was finally time to take Angryman out of the planning stages. Much like my brother, Angryman has a goofy younger brother who doesn’t quite have his act together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1556589580170-W5CPP8YAA47XDYHPIWPC/AngryMan-p2.jpg Comics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1556589582332-3C7KF309LCCQ8XXR3Q0O/AngryMan-p3.jpg Comics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1556428147469-8P87LPGNMH0G8ILRWW0Z/ALL+THUMBS+online_Page_01.png Comics - ALL THUMBS Cover https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1556428205022-7XZPIN8ADQI7SDYB9WC6/ALL+THUMBS+online_Page_03.png Comics - ALL THUMBS P1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1556428216410-YYLJGV03LWMH528TGD6E/ALL+THUMBS+online_Page_04.png Comics - ALL THUMBS P2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1556428219865-E0MG608G31I3FMEW71E3/ALL+THUMBS+online_Page_05.png Comics - ALL THUMBS P3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1556428229766-96EAF7QUGM0PBIQ8PTX9/ALL+THUMBS+online_Page_06.png Comics - ALL THUMBS P4 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1556428286814-HK6QS4NDULJ74C2Y2XZN/ALL+THUMBS+online_Page_07.png Comics - ALL THUMBS P5 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1556428291756-098RBSGEWXNJSWPD3A2K/ALL+THUMBS+online_Page_08.png Comics - ALL THUMBS P6 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1556428297813-WOXXKE3ZB00YAMAIIO4O/ALL+THUMBS+online_Page_12.png Comics - ALL THUMBS Back Cover https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1556591390168-5B9FARPDTSGWFTGJ8OAJ/The-Snake-p1.jpg Comics - The Snake P1 This was my final for Visual Storytelling 1. We had to do an autobiographical comic with emotional impact, which reminded me of a script I had done for Comic Book Scripting. After cutting the script down from 8 pages to 3, I had what would become “The Snake.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1556591392621-3K2JM951V9S03FXIMYOZ/The-Snake-p2.jpg Comics - The Snake P2 This was based on a real event from when I was about 10. There really was a snake in the woodpile, but it almost definitely wasn’t a rattlesnake. My dad did shoot it, but the emotional trauma was added to heighten the story. The longer script had something about how both the snake and my dad were both just protecting their homes and kids (the snake was to have eggs in the woodpile). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1556591395761-Y43971PZPWBA3Z5AAI4P/The-Snake-p3.jpg Comics - The Snake P3 I got really into the white ink splatter on these last two pages. Also, drawing scales is a nightmare. I learned a better technique after the fact, but that was too late to help me on this one. Live and learn I guess. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1556588616536-HCWLSE5MG0HD4XLNW7KW/adventure-pencils-page-1.jpg Comics - ADVENTURE COMIC p1 This project was for Visual Storytelling 1. We were given a script that was as generic as possible: “Panel one: THE ADVENTURER heads gingerly down a dark corridor, a light source held high in one hand, the other held out for balance. Panel two: The adventurer’s empty hand touches lightly on a weapon dangling within easy reach, making sure it’s still there and ready as the adventurer continues on down the corridor. Panel three: Close on the adventurer’s face, eyes wide in delight. Panel four: The adventurer steps into a softly lit chamber, the bright interior contrasting with the dark corridor. The light source is dropped or extinguished..” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1556588616488-A61A0SXN1H8BJOW8QMPO/adventure-pencils-page-2.jpg Comics - ADVENTURE COMIC p2 “PAGE TWO (four panels) Panel one: Long shot: the adventurer is standing in a treasure chamber filled with exotic valuables, statuary, animals, aliens… booty gathered from hundreds of locations. Panel two: The adventurer reaches out to grab an appealing item. Panel three: Smiling, the adventurer inspects the item. Panel four: The adventurer tenses, alert, hearing a disturbing sound.“ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1556588616839-CULIS7PPCYFA410QZKQS/adventure-pencils-page-3.jpg Comics - ADVENTURE COMIC p3 “Splash: The GUARDIAN of the treasure erupts from the treasure chamber, threatening the adventurer.

An interesting phenomenon I observed when we reviewed thumbnails as a class: 4 people had chosen a giant snake as the guardian. In an effort to separate my work from the other students, I stacked my treasure neatly and based my monster on the Venus of Willendorf. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1556589892974-ILI0R155N06NBBMYX06M/The-One-That-Got-Away-p1.jpg Comics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1556589892390-3SJ5DKU26ZOMNGO7TQBY/The-One-That-Got-Away-p2.jpg Comics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1556606498271-33E3GMGZ3F5NXZTXE1WI/It-Came-From-Dimension-3-Cover.jpg Comics - It Came From Dimension 3! cover Bust out some 3D glasses for the full effect. These are sample pages from a “directed projects in sequential art“ class. I decided I wanted to do an old-school anaglyphic comic. This led me down a rabbit hole of different effects and techniques: magic eyes, invisible ink/ blacklight images, real cryptographical stuff. Ultimately most of them were unsuitable for this project, but they’re still on my list of things to do. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1556607347044-E0J2KTRR58H7H9TP3AOD/page-01-v2.jpg Comics - It Came From Dimension 3! p1 If you’re wondering why that one guy only exists in blue and not red, it’s because he’s a ghost. Obviously. Since your eyeballs are constantly vibrating to establish depth, and since he’s only visible with one eye, he seems to move. Isn’t science fun? It’s an interesting otherworldly effect. What is this story about? There’s a ghost and some kind of extra-dimensional monster, so who’s this jet pilot guy? He’s Kilroy, government agent/ action guy. He’s an agent of I.N.C.O.G.N.I.T.O., an acronym that I never worked out completely. He starts the story on a mission to track something that fell to Earth that his bosses think is the recently launched Russian satellite Spudnik. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1556606042354-41IKI45E960IOU422ZT4/page-02.jpg Comics - It Came From Dimension 3! p2 This comic was partially inspired by the works of H. P. Lovecraft. The ghost guy, Sahir, was inspired by Abdul Alhazred. The script has Kilroy wandering under the full moon to The City Beyond the Dunes, which can only be found by dying men. Again, based on Lovecraft’s Nameless City. Kilroy drinks from the Well of Second Sight and then he can see Sahir, but the rescue party thinks he’s delirious from dehydration. I didn’t write dialog in the script except for this page: panel 2: “This looks more like a potato than Spudnik. I’d better make sure this potato’s not hot!” panel 3: “That’s odd, the Geiger counter is reading lower than even background radiation. Stanger still, it’s cold to the touch!” panel 4: “Hoo, if only it could cool the rest of me. If I don’t find some shade, I’ll be done for.” panel 5: “I feel as if some invisible force is compelling me over that dune…“ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1556606045422-U60EI4ZGSZRJ9UBGIPCU/page-09.jpg Comics - It Came From Dimension 3! p9 All the City Beyond the Dunes stuff was beyond the scope of the project, so there’s a 7 page jump here. Kilroy is recovering in the infirmary and the kooky scientist (every comic from the ‘60s had one) Dr. Dinnerstein is now analyzing the meteor/ space fossil. His assistant is his more practical daughter/ Kilroy’s love interest Kitty (every comic from the ‘60s had one of these too). Remember how the meteor had less than background radiation and was cold to the touch? That’s because it is absorbing radiation to wake from its space voyage… and now the Dinnersteins are X-raying it. As the monster comes to life it the only thing to project forward past the plane of the page; All the 3D stuff had been receding until this point. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1556606045747-M3Q9JMSZ3YT7M7GSL6ON/page-10.jpg Comics - It Came From Dimension 3! p10 “Aw hell, Kitty’s in danger again.” let’s talk about the monster here for a minute. I devoted a lot of time to making sure it felt both alien and like a guy in a rubber suit. I referred to the monster in the script as “Po’tate” because of the Spudnik connection. I know the satellite was spu-t-nik, but I was sticking with the homage to the ‘60s and their propensity to make little changes like that. Also, it looks like a potato when it’s dormant. Po’tate is actually an explorer for his species, and it is even dressed for interstellar travel. The hard crustacean looking parts are actually a separate creature of which the Po’tate species are parasites. The weird mushroom coming out the mouth is the sensory organ of the parasite, and the frilly bits below are a filter feeding system. I told you I spent a lot of time designing the thing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1556606048472-1NP2CBL7YZMYJW4XA7SX/page-11-ghost.jpg Comics - It Came From Dimension 3! p11 Early in the process of making this comic, I had plans for Sahir to only be visible under a black light. I wasn’t even going to hint at this feature except for a panel on a left hand page where Kilroy would be shouting “don’t you see it? It’s right there!” and pointing to an empty space. Just beyond that, on the facing page, would be a fake ad page for a black light. It was an intensive process figuring out how the black light function would work: the short answer is printing in a light yellow that can’t be seen under normal lighting conditions but will show up under black-(really more purple)- light. Factoring in differences in paper brightness, florescent lighting compared to sunlight, and printer capabilities proved to be a formidable challenge. There was also the issue of blocking. If Sahir was going to work as an invisible “bonus feature,” then every panel would have to work both with and without him. This page does a passable job on that front. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1556610887898-54HIXDA7V3QPX88OUA4R/page-12.jpg Comics - It Came From Dimension 3! p12 Ultimately, the black light idea had to go. 3D glasses work because of retinal disparity. Your eyes get two slightly different images and use that information to determine depth. Hold a finger a few inches from your nose and close one eye, then the other. It’s like that. So if one could control what information each eye was getting, those depth cues could be faked. So, just put a colored filter over each eye and you’re set. It’s easy- in theory. If the colors aren’t filtered out cleanly, you get “ghosting” which ruins the illusion. Getting the right colors so they filter is easy if you’re working with RGB (the spectrum of light screens use) but incredibly tedious when working in CMYK (the spectrum of colors you can get with a standard printer). The colors that would filter out were so light that they didn’t turn to black in the other eye. To eliminate ghosting completely required a grayish background… which then wouldn’t work with the yellow ink. I’m not going to say it can’t be done, just that it couldn’t figure it out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1556606051295-M7WIEFVYBYPUT2FBASQE/page-13-and-14-fixed.jpg Comics - It Came From Dimension 3! p13 and 14 “Why is Sahir RED instead of blue?” He is blue. It’s the black space behind him that is red. This is the first time you’ve seen him against a black background. When you close your red eye, you can’t see him, just like in all the other pages.

is undeniably the same idea. I will say that this one seems to have a freer range of movement with the shoulders than the other one, which seems have a horse’s limits to abduction and adduction.

This does imply the existence of a horse head on a human foot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1644475389535-6CVVTN2EYF8JFWM1Q5FF/13.jpg WRONG CENTAURS - double bottom here we have the majestic legs of a horse, with all their grace and power, topped by the legs of a man, flailing impotently. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1644475779425-TWW71IL122ECO9FO3MWD/14.jpg WRONG CENTAURS - Hand-orse 4 If this was a horror franchise, they’d stop focusing on the numbering and give it a subtitle like “Hand-orse: the Horsening” or “Hand-orse 4: From Bad to Horse”… yeah, that’s the one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1644475743034-UBB7CXI8RIUIB9J2VRQH/16.jpg WRONG CENTAURS - Handstand 1 somewhere along the way I started questioning the orientation of the centaurs.

A fine idea at first, but consider Hand-orse #1: the hand is more than half by apparent size, but a hand is only a few percentages of a person. Like, if you you were looking for someone and found their hand, you wouldn’t say you found half of him. Google says a hand is typically .5%- .65% of the person’s total body weight. So you see the problem with the % idea. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc53485ab1a62395c1a4e7f/1644474248086-U77O929NEL0X7HRQ1CCY/createous.jpg WRONG CENTAURS - Createous —Not a centaur, but here for now.— Someone once asked me what my favorite monster was. In a fit of madness, I grabbed a piece of chalk and drew while spinning the tale of the Createous. (Cree-che-ous /kri.tʃ.iēəs/) a monster with the legs of a man and … the legs of a man. I picture it moving exclusively by flipping or cartwheeling, never just walking. It would only regularly move using all 4 feet… just like a horse! So it is a centaur!
