TalkShoe?

Posted by jtpokie on April 16th, 2007

Ok.. Did some testing with talkshoe www.talkshoe.com.

While the interactivity part would be cool, the audio quality lasks big time. Part of the quality issue has to do with not being able to use Skype, for free anyway. Have to use skype out, and that costs $$, we were able to use The Gizmo Project which you can dial a Voip IP address (Not availabel in Skype) but the quality was crap.

I did dial in with what skype minutes I have (Bought long ago to interview people who don’t /can’t use skype) and The quality was much much better.

Here is the question I have for you.

Would an interactive call in Gigcast once a month or so be worth setting up? the quality woul dbe the same as a bad phone call, (Unless someone wants to buy us all Unlimited Skype for 30 bucks each).

Or would you rather have the roundtables be done the non interactive way, but with a bit better quality (Better than last time, with a bit more effort we can make everyone sound purty)

Thoughts? Ideas?

Forum Post about this here.

How to do comics the Danielle Corsetto way.

Posted by admin on April 10th, 2007

GWS_Tut

On a recent Girls With Slingshots update Danielle Corsetto posted a “How I Do Comics” tutorial. This strikes me as exciting on a few levels.

  1. Danielle kicks ass (everything else I wrote before was the product of sugar and wishful thinking. I have NOT met Danielle YET!)
  2. GWS is one of my favorite comics and any glimpse of how it’s done makes me happy. I’m not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. It’s not a ground breaking tutorial that makes me say “THAT”S THE TRICK!”. I am a process junkie seeing how she roughs, then she moves on makes me excited to draw. She does do something I don’t and it might be something I change. She adds the word balloons and then the art. I’m the other way.
  3. Like her comic her tutorial is clean well done and presented in a professional fashion. It’s a giant reminder that there are some basic steps I keep skipping that derail my process every time.

So yea I recommend you hop over and check it out. I’m personally going to try her method out and see if it helps me stay on top of updates.

PinkyTA hits 100 strips

Posted by admin on April 4th, 2007

PinkyTA has reached it’s 100th page today. I want to make sure  we tell OzoneOcean (or Michael Morris) congratulations. Michael is a much more skilled artist then I am and deserves any praise I can lump on him. Completing 100 pages of PinkyTA  is no small task. His style is profesional and clean and PinkyTA has been a blast to read.

Here’s a small example of what I’m talking about. This image is clipped from his bonus art today.

So a big “Way to go Michael” from all of us.

Yirmumah is Back!

Posted by admin on April 2nd, 2007

If your a fan of Yirmumah you will know that it’s been an off again on again love affair while DJ Coffman’s been working on Hero By Night.

If you were a Yirmumah Newsletter member you would know this by now!

Greetings Yirmumah Newsletter members! It’s been awhile, but I wanted to let you all know that
Wiz and I have resumed the regularly scheduled chaos that is M-W-F at Yirmumah.net.

Tune in for humor that could be condoned to be oh so wrong, but surely feels oh so right.
