New Stories And Old News!

Greetings, readers!

     Optiluiz here on this fine Friday evening to bring you all some exciting news! But first, let me just say that the above comic is partially based on real events, though I don’t think Satan’s beard is that small. In any case, the story I showed Max is the one I mentioned in our last post, based on that fun little sketch. I’m currently trying to sell it, so perhaps you’ll soon be able to read it as well! Now, onto the news…

     Well, this has been a long time coming, but I think it’s finally time to admit defeat. I’ve always preferred blogging on wordpress due to the overall professionalism and the nice layout, but as of late some things have become clearer. I’m not satisfied with the blog’s design, and I still want to eventually get at least a little bit of ad revenue from our posts. In light of this, we’re moving to blogspot (which some of you may have noticed if you’re reading this on the new site)! However, we won’t be deleting the original blog, so you purists can still have fun! Now, here’s a doodle!
    Didya like it? I hope so! My wonderful Girlfriend has gifted me with the Mass Effect trilogy (and RE6), and though I already played the first one a few months ago, I can finally play the rest of it! I’m a sucker for interactive story-telling, so I’ll be content for a while. I also needed something to distract myself as I’ve finally finished reading Lord of the Rings and I feel an emptiness in my heart that only the One Ring can fill. On my next post I’ll go a bit deeper into this, but for now I think suffice to say that Tolkien is a literary god and it was an amazing experience.

     Now, I’m not sure there’s anything else to say. I guess I should mention the Portuguese version of the blog I’m working on, but I think I’ll leave the details for the next post. I’ll leave you guys with a very creepy (and yet strangely cute) video my girlfriend sent me a few days ago. I hope you all have a great weekend, and don’t forget to visit our About Us page for social media links!
Chainsaw cheers,

Optiluiz out.

PS: I hope you all like the new layout! Leave suggestions in the comments!

Cryptids and Summer Break

Wow, such foot.

Greetings, readers!

     Optiluiz here on this wonderful February evening, rising from the dead! Actually, it was more like an extended vacation than death. I'm terribly sorry for the absence, but I've been dealing with some personal problems for a while, and I guess I needed some time off. We're back, however, and that's all that matters! Also, stay tuned for an alternate version of the comic below the post!

     Now, since my last post, I've travelled a bit to some far off places (both literally and metaphorically), and I'm ready to get back at it! This summer break has brought a lot of adventures, and plans for the future! If all goes as planned, I'll soon be returning to what I consider my home-country, and as Marty McFly would say, "Whoah, that's heavy, Doc!" In any case, during my travels I continued with my doodling, and here's an example which should soon show up again when I write a story about it!

Such message, wow.


     In other news, after seeing the Battle of the Five Armies in theaters and receiving my full Lord of The Rings novel in the mail (Not to mention downloading all the Skyrim expansions), I'm once again in FULL HIGH FANTASY MODE! I'll probably be like this for a while, so you'd better get used to it. I have a soft spot for fantastical worlds, and I guess it's just that time of year again.

     Regarding the comic, cryptozoology is one of my favourite hobbies and I'm actually surprised more of it doesn't show up in my writing, be it on the blog or otherwise. I'm seeking to correct that, and soon we'll be seeing a lot more Jersey Devils, Chupacabras and Mothmen on here! That reminds me, I've been binge-watching X-Files again and I whole-heartedly recommend it.

     I think that's all for now, folks. I'd better get back to orc/dragon-slaying and preparing for yet another RPG! I hope y'all forgive me for the late post, but I'll try to make it up to you with an alternate comic and an interesting video about LARPing below. For now, I wish you all a great week/weekend, and may the hair on your toes never fall out!


Chainsaw cheers,

Optiluiz out. (Check the alternate comic below!)

Many versions, wow.

PS: Regarding the alternate comic, torrent website ads just aren't what they used to be.

PPS: Not that I torrent or illegally download anything... right?
