Peach the Destroyer: Issue 006

Happy Cinco de Mayo, everyone! Aww, it's the first Peach the Destoryer  update on a holiday (in hindsight, there really should have been something about that since Peach is even in Mexico...oops).

Panel 3 nearly broke me. Ever since Issue 001, I'd wanted the teleportation portals to look less like the lame, scribbled-out swirling vortexes and more like something more Jack Kirby-esque. Panel 3 was my attempt to skew towards that instead of...well, what it looks like in panel 1 (funny how that works, isn't it?). It was also my first attempt at making Peach gray (like she is in the real world), but I wanted to hold off on any major changes to character design until the next arc.

Finally, yes, that is supposed to be me in Panel 6 and not the PC guy.

I can state with fair certainty that today's issue has more words than every previous issue (and possibly more words than all previous issues combined. Feel free to check that in your own time).

For the record, since we've managed to miraculously skip ahead of the "clean up from a chupacabra attack" scene, we also missed the "Peach hands her combat pack back to Dr. Felis" scene. I know it's important (and maybe some of you were even looking forward to it), but rest assured, that vital plot hole has already been filled!

On to artistic matters...still trying to get the hang of using the WACOM tablet...I know it's probably going to be a long learning curve, so please bear with me.

This issue of Peach the Destroyer is very special...it's the first comic to be 100% digitally-created (and probably won't be the last).

See, much like last week, I waited until Wednesday to make our comic. But I decided to dust off the WACOM tablet I'd received as a gift from a friend years ago. Considering this is pretty much my first time using it, I think today's comic came out looking pretty good and I'm interested to see how the "look" of the comic evolves while using the tablet.

The chupacabras crack me up...they were supposed to be (loosely) based on the stupid, stupid rat creatures from Bone, but wound up looking like hairy, angry mameshiba / edamame dogs.

I'm not too happy with this one. Don't worry, I'm still trying to improve on this as I go...next week we get to what everyone's been waiting for...cats fighting chupacabras!

And so here we have our second issue. New characters, new setting (if I could be bothered to draw some background), and we get to see that Dr. Felis is a giant, human-shaped thing with the head of a cat. In my head, he's voiced by Samuel L. Jackson (yes, I'm just shameless sometimes).

Welcome to the beginning of Peach the Destroyer, the epic tales of what my cat does while my wife and I are at work all day. For all I know, these stories could be true, since I technically have no way of proving that they're not...
