HEAT #258 – The Generalissimo Falls On His Sword

Well, mostly he fell onto the mat and stayed there for three seconds, but that’s a less snappy title.

This was a really fun sequence to draw, and something I’ve wanted to do for a while. The Figure Four might be one of the best submission holds in wrestling based solely on how many interesting ways there are to counter it before it’s applied. Generalissimo Lizardo happens to be the unlucky victim, mostly because he’s fun to draw and is a guy that I’ve already established as being on the main roster of Galactic Wrestling.

Speaking of sequences I want to draw, I need to figure out a way to include a spinning wheel kick or a rolling Liger kick soon-ish. I have a strong urge to draw those moves lately. Where are Los Gordinflones Negros when you need them?

Next Week: Buster Pallas attempts to force the definition of “babyface” into Dick the Bastard’s peanut brain.

HEAT #245 – The Only Thing Anyone is Paying Attention To Is the Masked Koala

HEAT #245 – The Only Thing Anyone is Paying Attention To Is the Masked Koala

In the script, the masked koala was referred to as “GW Agent.” I was initially going to draw the black guy I used as the check-in agent way back at the Gauntlet in Volume 1, but then for some reason I decided I was going to draw a koala in a lucha mask. So I did. As is often the case, his super-detailed mask doesn’t really translate when I re-size the comic for the web, but in the print version you’ll be able to get a good look at his sweet mask with leaves on it. You’ll also get a better look at the parking lot scene in the third panel, which features Generalissimo Lizardo getting out of his space sedan with his butler, as well as the Road Hoggs in the outer space equivalent of a douchebag rig rocket turned up to eleven. I don’t know if that even makes sense outside of Alberta.

I’ll be at the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo this weekend, at the Renegade Arts Entertainment booth (booth #422)! I’ll be there off and on throughout Saturday and Sunday, so stop by and say hi! And maybe get a signed Jeff Martin’s War of 1812 #1 strip. I’m told that might be a thing that’s happening.

HEAT #81 – (Un)Lucky 13

HEAT #81 – (Un)Lucky 13

This was a fun page to work on, even if the big panel of the ring was a pain in the butt. The new crowd-rendering technique looks a lot better, I think, especially since on this page you can see it right next to the black-out technique I was using before. I think the logic was that the farther-away part of the stands would be blacked out to make it seem farther away, but I’m not sure it worked all that well.

I also have no idea how to render a brown skin-tone in black and white. I think it’s pretty clear that Tiger Khan is supposed to be Indian, what with “Tiger” being a really common nickname for Indian wrestlers… and, y’know, he’s wearing a turban. Generalissimo Lizardo might be my favourite design of anybody on this whole page. Who doesn’t love a lizard man wearing 1800s military gear and rocking a tiny and inexplicable moustache? People who hate joy, that’s who.

There was originally some commentary by Art Donaghy and Super Destructo II on this page, but it wasn’t funny and basically just a textual description of what you can already see, so I cut it to make more space for art.

On Saturday: Mighty Kong is mighty good at battle royales. Outweighing everyone else in the ring combined helps.
