Its Time!

Ok I know it is not Saturday, but the comic is started. I put up on the web comic site the cover and the inside cover ( credits page ). My plan is to update on Saturdays but I am moving my Dad this weekend, so I put it up this morning. I was going to post that I did this morning, but dad called and needed help. So I am posting it all now.

Thursday Morning Update...Vacation Continues

Good Morning All

Man I was drawing away last night, and was super excited about the web comic. I have not had this much fun with my art in a long time. It all seems to be coming together.

I need to go help my Dad move some stuff this morning so I need to get off here, but keep voting for our Web Comic. It gets us more and more notice.

If you want to check out the web comic you can check it out at this link.

Wed Morning Mid Week Vacation Update

Good Morning!

Man did we get some work done yesterday. Yep I said WE. My wife and partner in crime spent a ton of time working on the Web Comic Site. We had to completely change the layout, and some of the things we want to do can only be done by changing the sites html and css coding. So Linda spent hours yesterday afternoon and evening changing colors and taking one of comicfury's template layouts and changing it to what we want. We still have more plans, but needed one that was able to be looked at for this weekend. We still want to get a vote button up and a link to direct the blog button back to our main blog site here.

On the art end of the comic I rocked out some work last night. Man this has been fun. I have not done this much comic work in a while and I am loving it. I am hoping to have art ready to scan today and work on some more colors and lettering.

I am moving my Dad this weekend, so I may have to post the much anticipated First piece of the comic early ( yes it is done) To keep ahead of schedule. So keep checking back. I will let you all know though.

Well check out the comic site and let us know how you like the changes. And if you ever have suggestions feel free to send them back either hear or on our facebook page.

If you want the hyperlink to the site so you dont have to click anywhere else here it is.

Oh and try to take some time to vote for the web comic. the higher up on the list we are the more views we get.

Well I think that is all for now.

Working on Comic and Blog Site Layouts and elements

Well I am working on some of the web comic sites layout and elements as well as layout and elements on our Blog Site here at Blogger. I am running into some snags as I cannot seem to edit the current layout's HTML code at comicfury the way I want too with the way I have it all set up. So I may have too restart the layout right now so I can add the voting banners, and get it's blog button to link right back here. Dont get me wrong I like comicfury and the options it has. I just have to go another route. the ever awesome Linda ( my partner in crime ) is working on some assisting as we speak, er as I type anyhow.

so if you want to see some weird things happening as I try to get it the way I have it in my head check out the comic site

Testimony of Palidos

Also Linda mentioned my cool font I had on here was hard to read so I changed it. Please let me know if you can read the post better now.

You will notice too that I have some vote for the web comic buttons on here too. If you can take time to vote for us. The higher the votes the higher I am on these list the more notice we get!

Well time to get back at it

Getting Things Done!

Good Morning!

Well yesterday was a good day for Strait Arrow Graphix. I got much done that I wanted too. I managed to get some penciling and inking done on the comic. I also was able to play with the comic web site layout. I figured out some web design things, like adding a fixed background to the comic, and that sort of things. Im still trying to get the blog button to come back to my main blog, and kinda streamline this being the main portal for Strait Arrow Graphix.

I was up again till 1 am working...my wife the awesome woman that she is tried to let me sleep in...but our five year old must of had a bad dream and was in my bed. She squirmed like a jello wiggler on a fishing line though and so I was awake again at 7:30.

If you want to check out the changes to the web comic site you can hit the tab at the top of this blog or you can hit this link

Testimony of Palidos

Well that is all for now. I am having a good vacation. Have some things on a to do list today so we will see what I report next time

Up and at 'em

Hey all you web site viewing cool people!

Well I had a productive day yesterday. Had the art bug bad, so I sketched a drawing of my character Bashaar, and then later worked on some inks and pencils for my Web comic "The Testimony of Palidos" I will probably work on some of the layout for the Comic Site today, need/want to make some changes.

If you haven't checked out my comic you can find it here Comic

I have had some neat learning experiences with this blog. Had to learn a little bit of html. Never did that before.

I was up till 1:00 am working on the comic, and my baby woke me at 7:30....good times

Well until next time
