It all started with an article; I wrote it and thought why not put it online. I wrote ‘The Word’ for five to six months before I lost my muse to write. I then went on to discover DeviantArt, I took up modelling and then moved on to drawing, all the while displaying it online. People commented and people favourited, they showed their appreciation and attraction to my creations. For the quiet geek who sat quietly in the corner, this was amazing. I had never had the courage or nerve to display my art in person, I always had trouble with presentations but once again my computer had managed to save me.

This comic is the pinnacle of everything I’ve worked towards in the last few years. The site is embodiment of my web design and coding skills, the domain is the accumulation of my knowledge of being a webmaster, and finally we come to the comic itself: the evolution of my art skills and techniques in a form that I’ve been striving to create.

For a very, very long time I’ve wanted to become a comic artist, but I always meant the American collectable comics like ‘Spiderman’ or ‘Batman’ but recently I’ve grown away from those books, for many reasons. To costly, to repetitive and lastly I grew bored of the sight of many of them. I worked in a comic book shop for 4 years and that real put a strain on my love of them.

I cant remember what first got me into web-comics but I do remember the first web-comic I read: User-Friendly. Many of you will know this comic for it is widely known and popular. Well last time I check, haven’t looked at it in a while. From this I went on to find others, I actually felt myself become addicted to reading them. I’d go from one archive straight to the next then on to the next and so on. I blame this partly on my chronic insomnia at the time and my slightly obsessive personality (but mostly on the insomnia). I currently read about 25-30 web-comics daily ranging from the most popular, 'CAD' and 'Megatokyo', to the slight less well known, 'Flipside' and 'Otenba Files', to the downright obscure, 'Property of Gwen' and 'Ganbare! Shimura-san'. Checking them all is the first thing I do in my day after getting up and turning my pc on. Because of this becoming a web-comic artist seemed the natural progression of my desires in life. Saying this I don’t think I want to become a professional web-comic artist (that’s not saying I don’t wanna make some money out of it) but I certainly want it to be a big part of my life.

To Mr Brown, one of my many art teachers, he was always getting on at me to make my own creation; something that was completely mine (or at least shared), I finally managed it.

To all my friends that bitch when there’s not an update done: its all Phil’s fault honest (except when its mine :D).

To Phil you know when I moan about you being kinda lazy I don’t mean it, I really mean you are really lazy and I’m sure you do it to annoy me. Lub!

And finally to Savage, the person that seem to enjoy telling me in the bluntest terms possible when I’ve/we’ve done something that looks/sounds utterly crap and how we should do it; couldn’t have done it without you.

So here's to the attainment of a dream.
May she be long lived and (at least moderately) popular.
