Fridge Cleaning, Near-Sighted Werewolves and Autumn!

wow, such dead

Greetings, Epic Clubbers!

     Optiluiz here on yet another chilly and pleasant Friday with a great post! I'd like to remind you guys that there are no dead people in my fridge, but who knows about Max's, I don't really use his fridge much. We think our comics have been steadily getting better, so I hope you guys agree and share this around with your buddies! Now onto the news...

     Well, I've been thinking about writing some more stories while I get in the mood for Halloween. The atmosphere around my neighborhood is helping a lot with that. And ev-Oh wait, you guys want to know what happened to the Epic Club Show, right? Well, we were super excited to try it out this week, but Max got sick and some other things got in the way, so please don't hate us! To make it up to you, I've drawn something inspired by my humorous (yet creepy) 50-word short story that won SNR's contest last week. Here's Jerry the Werewolf in all his wonky-pencil glory!

wow, such jerry

     You may have noticed that he wears glasses too. Comes in handy for near-sighted werewolves. The story (which I call Full-Moon Bedfellows) was short, but sweet, in my opinion. This reminds me of the RPG I was writing, which features a lot of werewolves. While it may be getting warmer here in Brazil (although the freakish weather has been nice to me these past few days), my mind is in Autumn (of the Canadian Variety), and that gets me in the mood for things that go bump in the night! Some more horr0r-themed things are sure to come our way!

     While I could go on rambling about all things spooky, pagan and October-y (Like my birthday, for example!), I guess this is enough for today. October (my favourire month!) will be upon us soon and we at the ECB shall provide you with general creepiness and fun, so stay tuned! For now, why don't you enjoy another youtube webseries for fans of RPGs and magical lands while I finish my own RPG? Have a great weekend, readers!







Chainsaw cheers,

Optiluiz out.

PS: Did you guys know that Max and I were born only one day apart?

PSS: I know I don't draw as well as Max, but common, at least I tried!

PSSS: Did I mention how much I friggin' love this weather? Dammit, this was a great day.

Cocaine Cooking and the Epic Club Show!

kk

Greetings, Epic Clubbers!

     Optiluiz here on this happily chilly Friday evening to inform you that yes, I do in fact make cakes. I actually can cook a lot of things, and so can Max, but I'm obviously the better cook. However, a slight disclaimer: we do not condone drugs on the Epic Club Blog. Except the good, doctor-prescribed ones. We like those because they keep our lead artist alive!

     Anyways, I've always spent a lot of time alone in my house, ever since I was a little brat, so one of the first things I had to learn was how to cook for myself. I usually f*** up at least twice before learning a new recipe, but so far I've learned to make a lot of yummy things, and even how to improvise in the kitchen! There is no excuse for not knowing how to feed yourself, since it's something you'll be doing for the rest of your life! And we all love food, of course. Now, on to something different...

     The Epic Club Show! Yes, we've been planning this for a while, but I think it's finally feasible! In fact, we were filming today but we decided to wait one more week and bring you guys something truly great. We're generally funny dudes, so we think you guys will enjoy our new (possibly weekly) show about everything (possibly involving food)! We might even have some animation in store... But for now, I hope the title card was enough.

     I think that's all I have to say today. I'm pretty tired, and my stomach is rumbling, so I better go feed it. I wish you all a great weekend! Now I leave you with one of my favourite directors teaching people how to make delicious food! Hope you enjoy it!







Chainsaw cheers,

Optiluiz out.

PS: If you guys are interested, I was thinking about making a 'Optiluiz's Favourite Recipes' thing on the blog. Comment and tell us what you think!

Paradox Comics and Bioshock Infinite!

Time travel.. DOO WEE WOOOO

Greetings!

     Optiluiz here once more on this lovely (and strangely cold) Friday to present to you the future of ECB! As Max and I were discussing, this is a turning point for the blog, where our comics are suddenly good! But I hope you like today's comic, and remember that you can read it forever, repeating the panels infinitely. Goddamn, I love paradoxes. Now on to the news...

     We've tried to get some estimates on a few websites regarding how much our blog is worth, and the answer was over one thousand bucks! Which is low for some, but we expected a lot less, and it's a good motivation to keep trying to make things better. After all, 1000 is infinitely better than a blog which doesn't exist! And here at the ECB, we always have our eyes set on the future! 

     In other news, I'm almost finished Desperation (although I might be done with it by the time this is online), and it's really a great Stephen King novel. Sure I've read a few that were better, but King is one of my biggest influences and he still can pack a literary punch (although I guess this book is from the 90s). I've also entered a 50-word fiction contest, where I wanted to make something relevant to today's post but I ended up writing about a drunk werewolf. Exciting stuff, people. Now here's a doodle of Optiluiz falling through time!

such time, much fall

     I think it's very Doctor-Who-ish, but lacks some colour. Maybe in some alternate universe I had more patience and coloured it in. Speaking of which, I finally finished Bioshock Infinite! This is one of the best games I've ever played and I urge all of you to do so as soon as possible! The original Bioshock was a masterpiece of gaming, but this actually surpasses the predacessor in terms of storytelling. However, I really miss the old-school survivor-horror vibe. Max tells me the DLC fixes this, but fuck DLC!

     Well, I guess this all I have to say for now. I hope you guys enjoyed this week's post, and I'll leave you with... er... I was going to show you guys the Circle Will Be Unbroken cover from Bioshock Infinite, but I guess I have something different in store. Something regarding Hannibal! I've said before how great this series was, so I'll leave you guys with a little gem I found this week. Have a great weekend!

Chainsaw cheers,

Optiluiz out...

PS: Max here, with the BLOODY BEST COMIC EVER! Ye! I finally decided to draw with half of my skills instead of just 1/4 to get to our fans something at least half-arsed! Now that I'm making actual good comics, I hope our fans can finally admit that they are our fans, don't be ashamed! There's a lot of neat things to be released soon, a song and even our own show! Also, I apologise for the last week not having anything, but I was in the hospital. Anyways, Heil Snails!

PSS: Speaking of all this time travel, Doctor Who is back and Peter Capaldi is great!

PPPS: I didn't finish my book but won the contest! Check out the short short story here!
