The Continuing Adventures of Dracunerd

Vishal — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 00:11:02 -0700

I think I had considered an ongoing Dracunerd comic ever since that first sketch last year, and Comic Konga! seemed to be the perfect time to try it (and other) ideas out. Well, the others didn't work out (I'm just not skilled enough at drawing for some of them yet), but I'm glad I did at least one Dracunerd. There will be more in the future.

And now that I know he resembles your boyfriend, the character's jaw and cheekbones are never going to change!

YAY!

YAY! DUGONG!

DUGONGDUGONGDUGONGDUGONGDUGONGDUGONGDUGONGDUGONG!!!!

Gollum was cute the way bullfrogs are cute

Disturbingly enough, the person I am reminded of is my boyfriend. Who is, I hasten to add, neither green nor fanged, and is in fact very attractive. It's just the cheekbones and the jaw.

(Also, I am not that hairy.)

You must draw more dracunerd.

iSlackwritertron sounds

iSlackwritertron sounds cool, since it has the word tron in it.

I have no idea what story you are talking about. XD This must be for fantasybits, that would explain it.

Hey, now I remembered. Yeah, it was for Fantasybits. And I think it was wolf-like. Would check, but must go to work now.

PeeeHAICHpee!

Having had a miniscule but torturous bit of php wrangling to do on this site's redesign (such as getting the 'journal' graphic to show up only on journal pages, which must be child's play to people who actually know php), I fully sympathise with your plight and do not in the least mind.

All of us are busy working this week, it seems (okay, my work has piled up mostly because of my own fault), and that does take priority.

Since we have no huge rules you're welcome to try your hand at it when you have some free time. Samir's doing his Tuesday to Saturday (he's building a multiligual community website, and I don't envy him in the least). I've been drawing a Dugong, among other things. We've been working throughout today and are a bit brain-fatigued, so we haven't done a Thursday comic. I may post them both tomorrow or go on until Saturday.

I you like you can even prepare some kickass stuff and wait until the next Comic Konga (I think mid-January, after all the 'holiday madness' has subsided will be a good time) to post them.

I haven't started writing on my non-nano nano (I think I should come up with a name and a crappy logo for it. ¡SLACKWRITERTRON! or something). Do you remember that story you once wrote about the kid who turns into a huge bear-like beast (I'm probably remembering this wrong). Something like that would be niiice :)

Dracunerd you sonvagun

Adorable -- yes! I hoped the drawing would come off as somewhat endearing (I didn't want him to look hideous like he did in the old sketch). But adorable... wow, now you're entering Gollum territory and scaring me.

By this I mean that I was slightly disturbed that women (in this case, the group sitting in front of me in the cinema) found Gollum in the LOTR movies adorable. "He's so CUUUUUUUTE!" one of them shrieked with sincerity.

Shivers.

...But familiar, you say? Who? Who it is? Tell me I say. Honestly, I don't quite know who he resembles -- I didn't intentionally base him on anybody.

Oh no, I FORGOT ABOUT THE

Oh no, I FORGOT ABOUT THE COMIC KONGA! ;^;

I was too busy about thinking how to do that php for my friend's project, and going to work, and making a Halloween drawing, and what will I write for Nano (haven't decided, haven't started)! Man!

dracunerd looks..familiar

Aishwarya — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 23:57:44 -0700

Pachyderm Love

Vishal — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 12:26:54 -0700

...joke? JOKE?! This is a serious study of one man's deep and intense love for our world's dwindling wildlife, and his attempt to get in touch with it.

We should salute this man! He is a perv!

applause Gotta love butt

Spyder — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 20:24:12 -0700

*applause*

Gotta love butt jokes.

Over-Active Mind

Vishal — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 14:26:16 -0700

I don't have an over-active mind -- I only have an over-active mouth. Don't tell me you weren't thinking of something along the same lines as we passed that rack*, only you are the strong silent type who doesn't say anything and just impersonates pirates and cast members of Entourage!

And as for trash talk, it's fine along as we follow Monkey Island Insult Swordfighting rules. (Oh, BTW: Coooooooool)

*(hehe, rack)

No Worries!

Vishal — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 14:18:37 -0700

No worries! This isn't Nazi Comics Week, you know. Enjoy yourself and take your time. Samir's still doing five but starting Tuesday, and really I think it's all good and worth it as long as we end up doing something by the end of the week.

Gah! I havent forgotten! I

Spyder — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 10:54:43 -0700

Gah! I havent forgotten! I havent forgotten! Just haven't been near my scanner yet! Comics coming tonight! Promise!!!

o_O

I was there

Samir — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 07:19:24 -0700

I was there when Mr. Bharadwaj's over-active mind had the inspiration for this one. As shown in the artist's impression, it happened right next to a pile of Lazy-Susans. But alas! My cleavage is nowhere as ample.

I'm a bit late starting Comic Konga, but I'm in:
The New Information Economy

Also, I have a little doubt. Are we required to behave like wrestlers at a Tag-Team Tournament and jeer at fellow competitors in this esteemed event, or is it just optional? :D
