Chapter 6 is here! 

Thanks for your patience everyone!

This week is all about set up, so there is much dialog. I hope you like the wall-crawling crab though. Next week we’ll see who comes through that door. 

This chapter is going to be amazing, so make sure to spread the word!

40 pages later and Chapter 5 is finally finished!

Just wanted to through out a quick thank you to all the people to have stuck with the comic this whole time. It can feel like a slow progression with webcomics from time to time and I’m constantly impressed by reader tenacity to stick with it. I have no doubt you’re all spreading the word to friends and geeks everywhere to help grow the Hominerds universe.

As usual, I’ll be taking a month or so off to get Chapter 6 ready. I also have a couple other things in the fire. Things that will hopefully help Hominids go even further. Make sure to continue following the site, as I’ll be posting progress of all my work.

One other note, This last weekend was Emerald City Comic Con. I got the chance to meet a lot of great people, some of which were actually readers! Not to mention talking to a lot of great professionals and creators. Here is just a little preview. Check out my Hominids Facebook page for even more photos and highlights.

Two pages to go!

Boy, does that High Priest love to hear himself talk.

In case you didn’t see it.

I’ll be exhibiting at both Emerald City Comic Con again this year, and at Denver Comic Con.

For ECCC, I’ll be at Exhibitor booth 1308. On top of exhibiting For “Hominids“, I’ll also be there helping sell Monsterpedie 3, which is an anthology book I’ve been a part of for the last 3 years. So if you’re planning on coming this year make sure to stop by and say hi!

Here is a little preview of the short story my writer-in-crime, Winda Benedetti did for Monsterpedia 3

The last two days were a little stressful.

You might have noticed the site was down.

There was a few issues with Sitelock that caused the whole thing to fall apart. Fortunately, I was able to get on the phone with my web host and Sitelock to get that all worked out. I apologize to all you folks out there who were frustrated that you weren’t able to get to the site the last couple days.

On a happier note, a couple of fun announcements!

I’ll be exhibiting at both Emerald City Comic Con again this year, and at Denver Comic Con.

Not much to say this week…

…other then it looks like Sno is realizing which team Icari is playing for.

Have a great week everyone. The escape attempt continues next week!

A page like this is a bit tricky.

It’s tempting to want to add dialog or text of some kind.

A lot of times cannon fodder characters will have some playful banter, talking about something that has nothing to do with the story. It can be a fun break and add a bit of humor.  That or the main character will have an internal dialog going on during the action. They’ll internalize either what’s happening or think about something else. Spiderman does this better then anyone else. Batman spends a lot of time brooding to the audience as well.  For my part, that stuff can often come off as filler. Not truly adding anything to the story. It might be the animator in me but I like to let the action speak for itself. Even if it seems like a page of characters running around frame after frame, it’s important to pace it in a way that makes the city feel huge.

I hope you enjoy this weeks page. It’s one of my favorites. I do have a feeling there will be something on the other side of that tunnel.
