Spritely Comics
As usual there’s a pun in the title this week. It’s not very good, and at best obscure.
This is not an attack on sprite comics, just that I thought it would be fun to take the scenic route and draw Mario by hand, but still in the pixellated way, simple as that.
In other news though, it looks as if the Lancaster Comics Festival is on again this year. That’s great news for those of us that have to live here. There hasn’t been that much to do lately now that witch hunting has been banned.
Highlights from last year’s attempt included a fog so thick that people actually got lost, and a lady with ferrets. You can read what other people thought of it here and here.
Ha! Excellent!
You know, come to think of it, I’ve never HAVE seen a handrawn sprite comic before this. Everyone else must be slacking…
Ferrets and thick disorientating fog. Sounds like a concept of a horror movie!
[...] Now, those were somewhat morbid but they aren’t all like that. Others have a positive and genteel quality and some just want you to run with the concept. [...]
