For a webcomic on hiatus, this sure is a busy place!
Ace joins Jackson Ferrell on his webcomic talkshow over at This Week in Webcomics. Click on the image to see!
Lookitwat I did- fan art for one of my webcartoonist buddies, Tony Piro. His Calamities of Nature should be on your reading list because it mixes irony with absurdism and cynism and astrophysics and religion and pop-culture and politicians and lotsa bacon, all wrapped up in innocent-looking critters.

I made a piece of fan art for the daily webcomic, Addanac City! Click on the image above to visit his site and view the picture and be sure to check out creator and webcomic pal George Ford’s wicked funny comic.

I wouldn’t want to meet this guy when I die…
PS: In case you didn’t realize, there’s a new tutorial, just scroll down or click here!
Thursdays are Tijuana Shorts: Comics which feature the regular cast but are non-canon, deal with off-topic themes and may even break the 4th wall. They are noticeably shorter comics with toned-down art and less panels. Get used to them! Tijuana Regular resumes on Monday.
But not so hiatus-ish until I can’t put out random content. I finally got my computer fixed!
I got Photoshop and Flash reinstalled, and found that I could still knock out a drawing of Ace Pilot. However, all my preset brushes for inking and colouring are gone.
Anyway, check this space for the occasional update. I don’t intend to return to regular webcomicking any time soon, but I may put up stuff now and then. Thanks for being a reader!
Today, I’m going to describe how I create some of the graphics in Terence N. Tijuana.
If you haven’t already noticed, I’ll point out that this comic incorporates ‘traditional’ hand-drawn stuff with ‘Photoshop-tomfoolery’.
The hand-drawn stuff are essentially images that I sketch out on paper, scan into my PC and ink over using my Intuos3 tablet. The other, non-hand-drawn images are created in Photoshop using a mouse and lots of mind-boggling patience and a million ‘Undo’ clicks.
This tutorial will cover the second type of art, and another tutorial which I’ll publish in a few days will describe the traditional approach.
We will be looking at how I created the spaceport in this comic.
Needless to say, we start by loading Photoshop:
