Spaghetti Western Web Comic?

[The Firecracker]

The Django sketch kicks mucho culo!


Can I ask how do you pronounce "Tsango"?

[Eric]

I was shooting for something like Tsar or Czar.

Thanks for the compliment! I'm working on a Terence Hill drawing currently...not sure if I want it to be Nobody or Trinity. Leaning toward Trinity so that I can represent different film franchises. And then...Sabata. And a nice desktop wallpaper for you guys.

these are awesome man.. i wouldn't mind getting a print made to hang on my wall 

[Eric]

I'm not totally satisfied with this one. The bottom half of his body is too narrow. I'll probably redo it, but in the meantime, here's Trinity.

And here's a preview of what I'm working up for you guys:

That's awesome!

[Jon1]

Awesome.

Question: do you know if web comics in general make any money, or are they all labors of love?

[Tuco the ugly]

Nice...

[Eric]

Awesome.

Question: do you know if web comics in general make any money, or are they all labors of love?

I think they can, but rarely do, make money. Scott McCloud has a whole book about how he thinks they can be profitable -- I haven't read it though.

Mine is definitely going to be a labor of love.

So is this going to have a plotline or is it just going to be drawings?

[The Firecracker]

Sabata doesn't show up on my page.


Hey don't forget Sartana!

[The Peacemaker]

I don't see him either.   

[Silenzio]

That's because he ain't drawn Sabata yet you two-bit jackass!



You got no right to talk to me that way....





... I'm sorry... help me get his boots off?

[Eric]

Haha, yeah -- that's just a placeholder. Expect Sabata next week. And I haven't ever seen a Sartana movie, and Netflix doesn't have any! Maybe he'll come later.

Jon -- it will have a plot. These are just my warm-ups. I'm a hobbyist artist, and I have no training so I can't just whip stuff out like Jean Giraud! But I've got a mini-story already planned out to introduce one of the characters. Now it's just a matter of drawing it!

[Eric]

Finally got my scanner fixed. Here's a completed wallpaper for you guys to enjoy. After increasing my knowledge of spaghetti westerns, I decided: Screw Sabata, Sartana's the man! The tone's a little different for the Sartana art, but I hope you don't mind too much.

I hope you guys enjoy!

Also, the web comic proceeds at a snail's pace. I got a title card and a panel done before deciding to scrap the story I'd been working with:

Well, good start.



(And now I FINALLY should have time for my SW alphabet...)
