Optiluiz's Day Off - Part VIII (Finale)

Greetings, Epic Clubbers!

Optiluiz here once more, after yet another unexpected absence! I won't even bother explaining the reasons behind my disappearance this time, but I hope all is well with my dear readers. Today marks the epic conclusion of Optiluiz's Day Off, and I hope it was as ridiculous as you may have expected. This journey began months ago, and it's a strange feeling to finally see things realized, despite my failings as an artist.

Well, things have been hectic 'round these parts. My animatic project took a turn for the strange, and it will take a while before you guys get to see something from it (but I'm proud of the work I've done on it so far). Also, I'm back in my hometown after a delightful vacation, though the looming threat of college lurks on the horizon.

As far as media is concerned, I've finally finished Fallout 4, which had the traditional Bethesda ending that we know and... tolerate. I've also been reading the Once and Future King, which is pretty rad. I managed to score a lot of free stuff by trading old books at a used book store while I was at my grandfather's place, which is also cool. Judging by my recent haul, I guess I can finally consider myself a comic book collector. Oh, and I saw quite a few movies too, check out Green Room if you're up for a tense thriller starring the late Anton Yelchin. Zootopia is pretty good, too.

In any case, I'm happy that we've finally reached the end of this story. Optiluiz's Day Off was a test, to be honest, as I wanted to try something new whilst practicing my artwork and comedic writing. It may not be high art, but the process of making these comics was therapeutic as f***, so I'm glad I did it. Thank you all for joining me in this bizarre attempt at a web-comic.

That's all I have for now, true believers. Don't fret, however, as Optiluiz and company will return in a new adventure sooner than you may expect! I'll also be posting the full 2-page story somewhere soon, I promise! In any case, thank you once more for being here. It means a lot.

Chainsaw cheers,

-Optiluiz out.

PS: Did you guys catch Stranger Things? It was basically the best part of my vacation, and I'm so happy that this series exists.

PPS: Speaking of Stranger Things, here's Optiluiz's Jam of the Week. Please don't judge me.

PPPS: "IT'S GONNA TAKE A LOT TO DRAG ME AWAY FROM YOUUUUU!"

Optiluiz's Day Off - Part VII

Greetings, Epic Clubbers!

Optiluiz here once more, after having been abducted by aliens! I'm kidding, of course (it was actually the Illuminati), but what matters is that I'm finally back. College took my life by storm for a while, as I'm neck-deep in my super-duper-awesome-ish animation project, and I guess my personal life took over the time that was left for the blog. Have no fear, however, as the ECB train has no breaks, only scheduled stops.

So, let's catch up on a few things. I've been playing shitloads of Fallout 4, which is great, but have only seen a few movies since our last post. My girlfriend got a 3DS XL, and we've also been enjoying the hell out of that (SNAKE EATER IN THREE DEE GUYS!!!11!). Also, did I mention that I'm on vacation?

Anyway, I might as well explain why this post is so late. I actually did make this comic on time, and planned to post it exactly one week after the last one, but upon further review, I realized that it simply wasn't well-drawn enough. I may not be a great visual artist, but I know crap when I see it. Thus, I decided to scrap everything and start from scratch. The new one isn't perfect by any means, but it's way better than the original. Trust me.

I guess that's all for now, readers! And don't forget to check out our social media links in the About Us page. After all, it's Friday, you ain't got no job, and you ain't got no shit to do! (This is a movie quote, by the way, before you start saying that Optiluiz sold out to slang culture).

Chainsaw cheers,

-Optiluiz out...

PS: Today's Jam of the Week is brought to you by Hardcore Henry. It's called "Let Me Down Easy."

Optiluiz's Day Off - Part VI

Greetings, Epic Clubbers!

Optiluiz here once more, just barely on time! Hope you've all had a pleasant week, I know I have. We're halfway through our second page of comics now, and I hope you're all ready for Max's glorious debut next week. (Don't worry Max, I'll draw you extra-emo).

Anyway, I'm almost on vacation, and have been busy catching up with recent media. I've finally finished Dark Souls 2, and have proceeded to add that fact to my resumé. I've also finished watching the third season of Hannibal, after having delayed it for over a year, unwilling to say goodbye to the best show on television. Jesus, that was the greatest finale I've ever seen on TV. 10/10.

I attempted to deal with my post-Hannibal depression by hosting my own science-fiction double-feature picture show, watching both Stephen King's Cell adaptation, and Hardcore Henry. Both are films which I've been waiting to see for years now, and I was not disappointed. However, both films are simply not getting the press they deserve. If you can get your hands on either of these, please watch them. Cell is getting an especially undeserved critical panning, which is strange as it's one of the best King adaptations I've seen.

In any case, I must leave you now, dear readers, as Friday night must be enjoyed beyond the realm of the internet. Thank you very much for visiting, and I hope you have a fuck-tastic weekend.

Chainsaw cheers,

-Optiluiz out.

PS: I had a hard time choosing Optiluiz's Jam of the Week this time, but my mind is still stuck on Hannibal, here's the spoilerific "Love Crime" scene:

Optiluiz's Day Off - Part V.5

Greetings, Epic Clubbers!

Optiluiz here once more with yet another silly comic strip starring yours truly. I hope you enjoy it, but I've been doing some script edits and realized that our last comic isn't up to par with our "regular" programming, so we might as well just ignore it. What do you guys think? In any case...

This has been quite a week. Nothing extraordinary happened, but it's been surprisingly pleasant. I'm finally ready to say goodbye to the greatest television series ever made (Hannibal), so I've been finishing up the third season in my free time, and I'll never feel whole again. If you're out there, God, we've only one prayer for you; BRING BACK HANNIBAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Other than that, I've almost reached the end of Dark Souls 2, and am certainly going to purchase the third one when it becomes financially feasible to do so. I actually had an awful experience with Bloodborne, but for some reason Dark Souls seems way more enjoyable. I'm not entirely sure why, since Bloodborne is just a reskinned version of its predecessors.

Not much else to write about for now, but I believe next week will have a lot more news. In the mean-time, thank you for visiting, and don't forget to visit the About Us page and get in touch with our social media accounts. Have a great weekend, readers.

Chainsaw cheers,

-Optiluiz out.

PS: Anyone else enjoyed the living hell out of E3 this year? Sony was killin' it, man.

PPS: I guess I'll include the Death Stranding trailer as Optiluiz's Jam-of-the-Week, since I'm a massive Kojima fan-boy, and his trailers are usually complex music videos anyway.

PPPS: We'll be reaching the end of Optiluiz's Day Off quite soon, folks, so don't lose hope!
