Sex
Violence
Bunnies
A Kung-Fu punch in the aorta
A plush samurai and a tearful guardian
The space between a bullet and a death rattle
The twin breasts of apocalypse
The battle holiday begins
The end is nigh
Don't thank the gods.
:D
Oh, I almost forgot. For anybody interested in a little bit of a back story on Billy, check out this really old animation I did in high school. Maybe one day I'll do an updated version of it, but for now, I can only show you this:
A lot of you have already seen that, but for you BH readers that haven't I'd have to say I still dig it despite it being so old (and terribly animated to my current standard)
If any of you are interested in animation, please check out my youtube page.
Heh. I never realized that two of the human characters were introduced one after the other (unless you count Ted.) Makes it seem like putting humans in the thing was an afterthought, but Alex was on the character roster from day one.
Sorry the new stuff took so long to get up, guys. Between preparations for San Diego Comic-Con, my honeymoon, and my most recent animated thingy, it became borderline impossible to finish everything and keep updating the comic. That's the necessary little evil with meeting deadlines, I gotta put certain things on backburner mode. But I can promise you guys this, in these rare times when I have to put BH on hold, it'll never be for too much more than a month.
Good news is, Battle Holiday updates are back to 1 or 2 updates a week.
So, speaking of the hiatus, here's the thing that kept me away for so long. It's my entry into Rob Schrab's "Scud Fan Film Contest". Schrab's work was one of my biggest influences from childhood. Now, I draw inspiration from his directorial work as well as the comics of old, so I thought I'd marry the two. Robot Bastard is Schrab's first film, and I love it as well, so I decided Scud and Robot Bastard should hang out and shoot things... here's how that turned out.
By the way, for the really bad-ass Scud fans, this little short takes place between Scud #24 and 25 in the Horse saga.
Enter Gwar. I've been drawing Gwar since I was little. He's had different incarnations over the years, but the thing that stays the same is he's always a little green man, and he's always kinda nuts. This is the one time where he plays on the side of good. (Not that I think you guys need this history of my nerdy little kid doodles, but I'd like to think that the fact that these characters are all things I used to draw when I was a kid is kinda interesting.)
Battle Holiday is going to be temporarily limited to only one or two updates a week while I try to finish some other, more pressing projects.
The bad news is that you'll be getting less of the sex, violence, religious intrigue and spastic cuteness that you love. The good news is that it means big things are coming. I'd rather not give anything away, but I'll tell ya, it's two different projects, and they're both gonna be bad ass.
Sorry again guys, and you can expect three updates a week to resume as normal after San Diego Comic-Con.
If you guys have any questions, about the book or whatever, please ask away. I won't be updating as much, but I'll be checking up on here quite often as usual.
The lizard gods were the first characters I ever animated. The image of this tree and the two creatures sitting under it just jumped into my head during a class, and it was just such a cute/melancholic/mysterious image, I had to act on it. I decided to expand their mythology, and included them in Battle Holiday...
Their video is here.
The opening is a little hard to see, but get at least half way through, and you'll see everything clears up.
