Optiluiz's Day Off - Part III

Greetings, Epic Clubbers!

Optiluiz here once more with another timely update (I can hardly believe it either). I hope you're all having a pleasant week, as I have. We've solved last week's technical difficulties, so we're back on track, reaching the end of our first monthly page of comics!

So, I did end up watching X-Men: Apocalypse yesterday, and it was awesome! Not exactly as great as First Class (AKA The Best One) or Days of Future Past, but certainly an enjoyable movie. Quicksilver stole the show again, which explains this week's promo art, suggested by friend of the blog and general beautiful person Ana, who also contributed to this post with a new inking pen! Thanks Ana!

In other news, my animated short film project is still ongoing, and our MtG mockumentary seems to have an expiration date on it, as one of our main actors might travel soon, so we must finish that soon. I've also finished playing Wolfenstein: The New Order, which was pretty rad as well. I felt like playing a nazi-shooting game after watching Frankenstein's Army, so this was a belated dream come true.

I guess that's all for now, but I hope you've enjoyed this week's post. Don't forget to share/comment/like or whatever it is that you kids find cool these days. Have a great weekend, Clubbers!

-Optiluiz out.

PS: Hope the art is satisfactory this week, folks!

PPS: Here comes Optiluiz's Jam of the Week! Nico Vega is already one of my favourite bands, but when you add Lou Reed to the mix, things only get better.

Optiluiz's Day Off - Part II

Greetings, Epic Clubbers!

Optiluiz here once more with the next chapter panel in the thrilling saga of 'Optiluiz's Day Off'. Sadly, we've had some technical difficulties regarding final art, so forgive any inconsistencies for now, I'll probably have to redraw this one at a later date. In any case, how have you guys been?

I've had a pretty good week, as I've finally got the hand of Dark Souls 2 (yeah, I know I'm late to this party) and there some cool new projects on the horizon. This latest season of Supernatural has also been watchable, which is a pleasant surprise, though I'm more excited for Penny Dreadful than for anything else. Hannibal left a cannibal-shaped hole in my heart that only Penny Dreadful comes close to filling.

I guess there's not much else to say this week. As always, leave any suggestions, criticism and/or compliments in the comments below, I always love reading your stuff, Epic Clubbers! Max says hi, also.

Chainsaw cheers,

-Optiluiz out!

PS: No notable songs or videos this week, but I'll keep y'all updated.

PPS: I'm off to see X-Men on Saturday, hence the Magneto promo drawing. Anyone care to tell me if it's any good?

Optiluiz's Day Off - Part I

Greetings, Epic Clubbers!

Optiluiz here with some good news, for once! The blog is back, baby, and it feels to good to post here again, despite the hectic schedule and broken promises. How have you guys been? Our last real post was in November of 2015, so I bet you've had some interesting adventures in the mean-time. I sure have, but I think I covered most of that in our recent video update (yeah, we do that now!).

First of all, I think I should introduce our new comic format, where every three-panel comic is a part of a larger story, which will eventually be combined into 3x4 pages for your reading pleasure! Max is busy for now, sadly, but will be helping us out eventually. I'm in charge of the art for now, but that's alright since I'm taking a story-boarding course at college, which is certainly improving my drawing skills (I hope).

In other news, our Magic: The Gathering inspired film is finally taking shape, as I've finished most of what we consider our 'script', and have obtained exclusive rights to shoot at our local game store. All that's left is to secure props and some more equipment, and production will commence! For now, I'm just playing with a new Shadows Over Innistrad deck, which is one of my favourite sets so far due to the numerous horror references present in a lot of the cards.

That's all for now, folks, but I hope to get back to you soon. If I do manage to maintain a regular schedule this time, we'll be dealing with one comic a week, forming a full page every month, with over-arching stories that can last anywhere from a few months to a full year. I'm happy to be back, Epic Clubbers, and I hope you'll stay with us on this new journey into the internet beyond.

Chainsaw cheers,

-Optiluiz out.

PS: Check out my jam of the week below! Radiohead is back in this charming new video with a pinch of 70s horror!
