HUGE response to Rise of the Wreckyard! Thanks to everyone reading and sharing it!<br />
<br />
With the last two Armstrong episodes, I always waited until it was released to start work on the next one. This time was different - I started working on the 4th one before the 3rd one was finished. I don't plan on having 4 or 5 months between each one... that's such a drag.<br />
<br />
So here's a thumbed page from AS04 - The Ballad of Sheriff Davenport.<br />
<br />
Armstrong is one story I want to tell and has a definite end point. I like that idea because it's working towards a finale. Originally, there was going to be six total, but I think that number has turned to seven.<br />
<br />
With seven total, there's only 4 more left!David Halvorsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13744899692131104150noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129300964906964267.post-48987604789545135122011-10-26T12:46:00.000-07:002011-10-26T12:46:30.150-07:00At the start<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here's some behind the scenes to the Wreckyard story.<br />
<br />
I start writing on 11x14 bristol board sheets. I'm not sure why - it might have something to do with being able to fit a bunch of stuff on one page - It's easier to connect ideas this way. It also feels better than hunching over a laptop.<br />
<br />
These sheets are a timeline map and bits of dialogue. I prefer handwriting over computer at the beginning because it feels like I'm drawing rather than writing.<br />
<br />
I'll go through 5 or 6 sheets before I hit the computer (why'd you PUNCH the computer??). The story is revised MANY MANY times. Then page thumbnails, etc, etc.<br />
<br />
Also an old sketch of Clinton.<br />

Armstrong: Rise of the Wreckyard is out today! It's free to view online at <a href="http://www.talesofarmstrong.com/">www.talesofarmstrong.com/</a><br />
<br />
If you like it, share it with a friend because what's a comic without anyone to read it? Like the other issues, there are a few easter eggs sprinkled throughout it. Try to find them!<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

Armstrong: Rise of the Wreckyard is 99.99% finished and will be released next Tuesday, October 25th at www.talesofarmstrong.com!<br />
<br />
This episode took nearly 5 months to complete and I'm stoked to finally put it out. Alot of work went into it (especially the details) and I'm extremely proud of the 36 pages that I've created. I'm the kind of guy who has to have every detail right before saying something is done and alot of it just wasn't right early on.<br />

Also - www.talesofarmstrong.com underwent a full redesign! The original was supposed to be minimal and artistic, but ended up looking unprofessional, confusing, and stupid - I can admit that I poorly designed it. The new site still maintains a minimalist nature, but it's more obvious that there's an online graphic novel lurking about now. Stay tuned cuz I'll be adding a bunch of extras to the site in the coming months too!David Halvorsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13744899692131104150noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129300964906964267.post-51478896955429729492011-10-19T10:33:00.000-07:002011-10-19T10:33:36.783-07:00ZDP<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
For me, a pretty hefty reality check is the realization that the next guy is working harder than me.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I don't mean this in a competitive fashion - I mean this as "I'm not working hard enough for what I want."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I make legitimate excuses, but then I laugh when I hear other people say the same thing. I think, "Man, if they really wanted it then THAT wouldn't stop them."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And this is a new kind of motivation for me. It's a very self aware mindset that's helping me place value on goals and dreams. It's no longer just the hopeful pursuit of a destination, but a very real place with a journey that I won't complain about.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

PS - I'm a dork.</div>

Things are slowly wrapping up on this end. Episode 3 is nearly finished and a much needed site update is in the works. I've been toying with the idea of printing 11x17 Armstrong posters, but I'm not sure yet.<br />

Also - Steve Jobs passed away. Without his influence, EVERYTHING I do would be different. Every computer I've owned has been a Mac. We have like, 5 iPods, why? Cuz, that's why. His passing is a sad thing and whether you're an Apple fanboy or not, you have to admit that he helped shape the world.<br />
