The Scoop – Page 35 – Studio NDR: Comics & Art by Dylan Edwards

Your Wednesday PIQue fix

November 20, 2013 Dylan Edwards No Comments

The penultimate page of the current Politically InQueerect storyline is up! Dee has her revenge, and moves on to her next target.

Check in later this week, when I’ll post a new cartoon I drew about Herman Melville’s unrequited love for Nathaniel Hawthorne. (Yes, this is a real thing that happened, but more on that later.)

Trying to think if there are any other goings on I need to tell you about. There’s stuff in progress for sure, I just don’t have much to say at the moment other than “in progress.” So! Anyway. See you in a couple of days for Melville/Hawthorne.

Cheers,

Dylan

That Cecil x Carlos thing I warned you about

November 15, 2013 Dylan Edwards No Comments

So anyway, here’s this thing. If you want to reblog on tumblr, maybe use this post so I can see all your entertaining tags.

I completely forgot to mention, by the way, that there’s a new issue of Rocksalt out, and I have a comic in it. You can read it online. Or if you’re in the central Texas area you can snag a physical copy in lots of places around Austin and San Antonio and I don’t even know where else.

Okay, gotta go work on things.

Cheers,

Dylan

Time for more PiQue

November 13, 2013 Dylan Edwards No Comments

The latest page of Politically InQueerect is up on Tapastic. Turns out, Dee is not interested in putting up with anyone’s bullshit.

Thanks to everyone who backed the QU33R Kickstarter! We are funded and going to press, oh yes. I don’t know a release date yet, but once I do I will obvs let you know all about it.

I haven’t got much else for ya at the moment, though I’m hoping to have more funs on the ol’ site for next week. Funs as in more dirty pitchers of Cecil and Carlos, ahem, cough.

Cheers,

Dylan

New PiQue, tumblings, QU33R, and Bent-Con

November 6, 2013 Dylan Edwards No Comments

The latest Politically InQueerect is up on Tapastic. Now we get to find out what Dee’s high school experience was like. Guessing she read a lot of Sandman and listened to a lot of Siouxsie (no, wait, I don’t have to guess).

And, just in case you missed it, I started a new Tumblr blog for my queer comics and art stuff. Follow along if you’re into that sort of thing (and you are or you wouldn’t be here, right?).

Also also, the Kickstarter for QU33R has been successfully funded, but you still have a couple of days to pre-order your copy of the book and snag some of the fun extras. So get on that if you ain’t already.

Finally, I’m sorry to say I WON’T be making an official appearance at Bent-Con as I have a schedule conflict. Which is too bad, because it sounds like it’s going to be an awesome show. And it’s this weekend! So if you’re in SoCal, do make a point to check it out. As for me, I’ll be at Designer Con, which is right next door in Pasadena, CA. It’s an indie toy/design show, and I’ll be there representin’ the Feeps. Heck, go to both shows. Why not.

Cheers,

Dylan

I Night Vale fan arted again

November 2, 2013 Dylan Edwards No Comments

Here’s my scribbling of Cecil and Carlos makin’ out in the eerie light of the Glow Cloud. I decided not to ink it and just do digital color over/under the pencils. For fun.

Here’s my tublr posting of it, should you wish to tumble it there.

I have spent way too much time on this.

Cheers,

Dylan

Yer weekly PIQue

October 30, 2013 Dylan Edwards No Comments

Our tale of high school reminiscences soldiers on: Dee makes a joke to defuse a rather tense conversation, and is met with chat silence … DUN DUN DUN.

Also, just in case you missed it, I started a new tumblr for my comics and art stuffs. In addition to the sorts of things you’d read about here (new comics postings, show information, etc.), I’ll also be using the tumblr to post random art of mine like sketches and whatnot. AND, I will occasionally post examples from my collection of old, obscure, out-of-print comics of yore … things I think might be interesting or relevant to people who follow what I do.

Cheers,

Dylan

Oh, look, a tumblr blog for my art stuffs

October 26, 2013 Dylan Edwards No Comments

So yeah, I finally decided to make a tumblr art blog. Couple reasons:

1. A lot of the artists I keep in touch with via the intertrons are tumbling, so it just makes that aspect of social media easier.

2. I took down a bunch of my sketch stuff when I redesigned this website, because I wanted to slim things down and make the site more manageable (how much I succeeded in that is up for debate). But that does leave a bunch of sketches and random art that have been hidden from the world. Well, no more! They are now being art blogged.

I’ll also post about comic updates and works-in-progress on the ol’ tumb, so follow along if that’s an easier way for you to keep up.

Anyway, this sexy copy editor fellow is one of the arts that I have resurrected for the blog. I don’t know how many people actually do searches for “sexy copy editor,” but if you do, well, here you go.

Cheers,

Dylan

Moar PiQue! Moar Beyond!

October 23, 2013 Dylan Edwards No Comments

The latest PiQue is up on Tapastic right this very now. Dee and Alicia’s chat session continues along, and makes some turns down some dark paths.

The dialogue on this page is extensively reworked from the original (I think, I hope, for the better). So even if you’ve read it before, go read it through again. I mean, if you want to. I’m certainly not the boss of you.

I’m getting closer and closer to having all the preliminary character designs for my story for Beyond done. (I say preliminary, because once the actual drawing starts things tend to drift and adapt as necessary.) Anyway, this is a Tola. They are a hominin species indigenous to the Valley where this story takes place (humans, by the way, are NOT indigenous to the Valley – li’l invasive species).

So, like, here on Earth you got yer humans and you got yer apes, and somewhere in between we had for awhile a few different hominin species wandering around. But none of ’em made it to the present day except for us. Well, in my little fantastical science world, we all got separated long enough for some of those other hominin species to establish successful branches of the ol’ evolutionary tree (mind you, not necessarily based on any actual Earth hominin). The Tolas are one of those species.

They’re just as smart as humans, but their different adaptations lead them to express that intelligence differently (like, for instance, no clothes, because why do you need clothes when you’ve got all that fur?).

This character design is not 100% of where I want it to be, but it’s getting very close. EVOLVING, if you will, ha ha.

Cheers,

Dylan

New PiQue, and more Beyond teasers

October 16, 2013 Dylan Edwards No Comments

Page 2 of the Dee/Alicia storyline is now up on Tapastic. Thus begins the bit of this story I’ve reworked most extensively, updating the art to reflect more current trends in chat design, and altering the text rather a lot. The original version shall remain here on Studio NDR for the time being. You can go compare ’em and decide for yourself if I’m Lucasizing this story.

In the realm of new stuff, I’m currently drawing my way through the billionty character designs I need to work up for my story for the queer sf/fantasy anthology Beyond. The script is in its second draft and is just about ready for storyboarding, I think.

I’m hoping to get a section set up here on Studio NDR to collect the various bits and pieces of my work in progress for Beyond. I cannot, obviously, show you the story itself, as it’s exclusive to the book. But there’s a lot of concept art and backstory that goes into creating a sci-fantasy world, and I think it’d be cool to have that sort of stuff here for people who are process junkies. I’m also posting stuff to Twitter from time to time (@DylanNDREdwards), so follow along if’n ye wish.

First, though, I gotta come up with a name for my story/world besides the current inadequate working title. For some reason, coming up with names is a huge chore for me. So. Gimme a minute or three to get this rolling.

Cheers,

Dylan

Time for another multi-page PiQue story

October 9, 2013 Dylan Edwards No Comments

Starting today on Tapastic, I’ll be running the 8-page story of Dee and Alicia’s interactions since their initial meeting. “High School Sucked for You, Too?!” is, as with previous episodes, colorized from its original black and white. In addition, I’m also heavily revising a lot of the text, mostly because I was never totally happy with it in the first place. So this is one that, if you’ve already read it, you may wish to follow along and read it again.

In other news, I’m still working away on my story for Beyond, the frabjuous queer sci-fi/fantasy anthology that will be coming out next year. I have the first draft of my script done, though I already know several changes I’m going to make, and I’ve been whittling away at character designs and concept art. The story itself is exclusive to the book, so you’ll have to wait until it’s released to read the whole thing, but I will be posting teasers here periodically, so keep checking in for the latest sketches and so forth.

My plan is to put together a separate section here on Studio NDR for all my Beyond-related arts. Hoping to get to that later this week, but you know how things are. Anyway, I’ll definitely post here to let you know when it’s up.

Cheers,

Dylan
