The news just keeps happening here at SUTBComic.com huh? Well as I continue building the foundation of the site (and not studying for Accounting and Calculus...) I have gone ahead and created a site to give my opinion on videogames. Retro Revolution will be comprise of two main parts. The first being "Games You May Have Missed" a look back at games on the NES, Genesis and SNES that are a little less known (at least in my opinion). Yeah everyone who had a Sega played Sonic (and if you didn't how dare you) but how many played say Mickey Mouse and The Castle of Illusion (which is one of the first GYMHM I will do)? The other will just look at games on old systems, my thoughts and flash games on the internet that have a classic feel to them. With each RR article I hope to draw a little picture of myself in the game and go into my thoughts on the story, gameplay, music and overall fun of the game with the occassional challenge to the reader.
The site will go up later this week (if not in a few hours) with the first article being over the Sega Genesis game Mickey Mouse and the Castle of Illusion (did I already say that?) I hope you'll enjoy RR and as I will remind you again, Jay Cardinal begins Monday May 3rd, 2010. So just get ready okay?!

Singularity Reboots
Read the New Singularity page!
As foreshadowed in the April 19 post, Singularity has been rebooted. The current plan is to make Singularity the first SUTBMovie. Basically it would be a long (around 100page) comic with a completely sustaining plot all posted at one time. Think of a SUTBMovie as a super SUTBShort. Now to the people who read Singularity: words cannot explain how sorry I am. All I can do is promise that I am already at work on the Singularity movie and have a rough outline set. The characters will still be the same (Regent Royals and Brigadier Battery and etc. will be in the movie) so there's no worries there and to assure you guys that Singularity doesn't become...well this...I will give periodic updates on the plot and when I start storyboarding you can see some of the panels. So this isn't goodbye. This is a see you soon. NO GOODBYES!
Now Jay Cardinal news. Jay Cardinal will update for the first time on Monday May 3rd. In the April 19 post I mentioned I couldn't decide between a MWF update schedule or a Mon-Fri one. So I took the middle ground and will be updating Monday and Tuesday before taking Wednesday off and then finishing the week out on Thursday and Friday. So I already have a week drawn and a month storyboarded. Good stuff right?

Friday Fever
It had been a while since I uploaded anything to DeviantArt, so I decided to post a little sketch from one of the Jay Cardinal Issue 1 pages.
I like the sorta sketch book feel it has. I'm still working on Issue #1 and hope to have the whole thing drawn by April 20th so I can begin coloring either that Wednesday or over that weekend. Remember Denton people I'll be handing out some free previews of Issue #1 on Friday April 30th.
The Jay Cardinal website will be posted tonight or tomorrow but comics won't actually go up until May 3rd. I figure I should have a pretty awesome buffer by then and depending on how awesome that buffer is JC will update MWF or MTWTF. I know Issue 1 will carry about five weeks on a MWF system and about three on a Mon-Fri system. And I have about six other issues planned so I'm not hurting for ideas too much. Well I'm off to Willis Library. I got some shiggety to draw!

3 Panel Movies: The Room
Just a little something I'm going to try when warming up, I'll take a movie and try to condense it down to three panels. Click the picture to see the whole thing. Alternate text for panel 3 was "I don't wanna talk about it".So...the Room. God... what can be said about it. It's the world's worst written and worst acted movie in the history of the known universe. (Sorry Pluto Nash) And yet, some how it's wildly famous, insanely popular and the lunatic that did it all thinks he's a visionary genius. It's the ultimate "laughing at you not with you" except he's getting paid to be laughed at. Anyway this comic popped in my head after seeing a comment on Octopus Pie referring to "taking notes from Wiseau" and well...the rest is history. The inverse relationship between quality and profit in the movie is staggering. It makes me sad to think in a parallel universe Wiseau Tommy will created a freaking amazing movie and no one watched it.
Also, The Room fans (ha!) may chide me about the Sex panel. Yes I know Wiseau's bare ass is visible in the recycled sex scene, but if I had drawn that I would have just thrown up.

Project Regulus Gets A Bird's Eye View
So on the 1st I posted a picture showing the title of the newest SUTBComic. For those of you who missed it, this is what was posted.
I should have offered a million dollar prize to anyone who could read that. At any rate the first part of the big news today is it's time to really announce the name of Project Regulus and the newest SUTBComic!
And just like that the first thing about Regulus (my love for name puns) has come true. That's the more of less official logo of the series. Now for the next part of the big news...Jay Cardinal is coming to UNT! With Scrappy's permission of course.
On April 30th, in anticipation for Free Comic Book Day (which is really on May 1st, but that's a Saturday...) I will be on the UNT Campus handing out free 8 page previews of Jay Cardinal and The Dropout King which serves as the first chapter of the Jay Cardinal series! So if you live in the Denton area check that bad boy out! I will most likely be handing them out somewhere between the Union and the Business Building. Either there or the In High Places statue (The large freaking Eagle). More details as the 30th approaches. So yeah, stay tuned. And for people not in Denton...sorry...guess you'll have to wait a little longer to see Jay Cardinal. I hope to put the site up sometime over the weekend and that's all for the BIGGEST UPDATE IN JAY CARDINAL HISTORY...(for now!)

April Revelations Day: Episode V
Today on April 1st, many people will be working on elaborate pranks to play on their follow comrades. Well I have no jokes planned and rather than rush together some AFD comic for Singularity I've decided reveal some things about Project Regulus. This is April Revelations Day!
In Episode IV it was revealed that in Regulus a character will die. Hmm...not much to say about that one. And now the big daddy! It's time to reveal the name of Project Regulus!
Reveal #5: Project Regulus is the codename for the new SUTBComic......Gotcha!
Hmm...maybe I should have picked a better title or at least a better day to reveal that. Nobody's gonna believe me.
Okay, you got me. April Fool's! Hahaha it was fun planning all this and I hope you all enjoy April Revelations Day as much as I did. Aww...don't get mad. Here tell you what. Come back in an hour or two (say Midnight?) and I'll make it up to you deal?

In Episode III it was revealed that the primary action of Project Regulus would happen on our little mudball Earth. While you might find that unimportant I think it goes a long way in setting up some ideas in your head about what this could be about. Now for maybe the biggest reveal thus far...
Reveal #4: A Character...Will Die
As I said in Episode III talking too much about this one would just spoil it but this is probably my favorite reveal out of all the ones I planned. Well we're in the homestretch and AFD is winding down so I guess there's time for one more reveal.
...So...anyone want to know what Project Regulus's real name is? See you in four hours...

In Episode II it was revealed that Project Regulus will display my love for name puns. Name puns are actually a large part of how I design characters. It usually works in two ways either I create a character and his/her personality and try to assign a name to it OR I come up with a name and assign a personality and design to the name. In some cases (as in the one I talked about in EpII) a character's name will be solely based on the relationship they share with another character.
Reveal #3: Most of the Action Happens On Earth
I know. I know you're beginning to think some of these reveals are a little trite. Oooh! The comic takes place on Earth! That's cool! I really didn't know that. Okay just calm down. The next reveal will be a BIG one. As in, if I talked too much after posting the reveal it'd be a SUPER SPOILER.
See you in four hours for the next part of April Revelations Day!

In Episode I it was revealed that Project Regulus would not be a continuation of any former SUTBComic. While that might not seem like a big deal if you think Singularity is the only comic I've drawn I guess listing out all my past projects will help the gravity of that statement. Since 2005 I have worked on the following comics:
Chaos Control (Sonic sprite comic)
File Not Found (MMORPG comic)
The Adventures of Captain Laserman (which became the basis for Fallout)
Tales of A Dragoon (FF fan comic)
Coming Soon
Assassins Anonymous
Super Drama
Fallout (which became the basis for Singularity)
Set Up The Bomb
Singularity
Nocturnal Transmissions
Until Next Time
So...yeah.
Reveal #2: My Love For Name Puns Will Be Emphasized
A slightly more minor thing but all the named characters I have created as of this post have some sort of name pun. The main character's is pretty obvious and when you see it paired up with another person's pun you ask yourself: "What are the odds that those two would know each other with names like that?"
The Answer: Outside of my universe very very slim.
The next Project Regulus reveal happens at 2pm Central Time! See you in four hours!

April Revelations Day: Episode I
Today on April 1st, many people will be working on elaborate pranks to play on their follow comrades. While this has already caused a friend of mine to be forced out of her dorm shortly after finishing her shower (yowza) in the baby hours of the day, most jokes are innocent in nature and pretty damn funny.
Well I have no jokes planned and rather than rush together some AFD comic for Singularity I've decided reveal some things about Project Regulus. The reveals will range from obvious (the webcomic will be online) to something big (say maaaaybe the revelation of the comic's name)
So let's kickoff April Revelations Day with the first thing about Project Regulus!
Reveal #1:Regulus Is NOT A Continuation Of Any Former SUTBComic
I say this with as much emphasis as I do because in drawing some of the characters (one in particular) you will find that (s)he great resembles a former SUTBComic character. While I wanted to change h(is/er) appearance to prevent the look-a-likeness I find the design works fits the character great. Sadly, I fear that this may effectively end what I hoped to be a comeback for a certain series but I think the character will carry the spirit of h(is/er) design inspiration with much gusto.
Stay tuned more April Revelations Day to come later today!
