The Backdrop: BTS

Here's a little video I made just showing some pictures I took while working on that backdrop.

What's Happening!?

So what have I been up to lately? Well, remember that sketch I posted:



It's a backdrop that I got commissioned to paint. I don't know if you guys can tell from this photo, but this thing is massive; like taller than me (and I'm sorta tall). Working on this thing was exhausting mentally and physically with all the precise crawling around I had to do while working on it.



In other news, just got back from Anime Mid Atlantic:







I didn't sell shit, but I had an incredible time, rocked a few panels and played lot's and lot's of Street Fighter 4.

I also have a gallery show coming up on July 11 that I have to start producing artwork for, and an animated music video to finish. After that, I'll be able to go back to pumping out KERSLASH pages.

TMP!

So it's 12:41 in the am, I thought it might be the perfect time to update:



A rough sketch of epic proportions...um literally. Once this sketch get's approved, the real fun starts.

other than that, there's no real news yet.

::Con season approaches::
1st up // Anime Mid Atlantic

THEY'RE HERE!!!

Kerslash mini's have arrived!

I know I've been off the grid for a while, but I just wanted to announce that I finally got my shipment of kerslash mini-comics! 28 pages of smarty art, ninja, action! Shoot me an email if you want to buy one: benolds01@yahoo.com. Just put "Kerslash mini" or something in the subject line and I'll let you know how you can get one.

Also, shoutout to BURST ANTHOLOGY. I missed this issue, but I will definitely be in future installments.

Also, also I think I'll be going to Anime Mid Atlantic in June, doing it up big at the Angry Viking Press table. I'll probably be doing a couple panels with them too, so be sure to attend so you can ask me why it's taking me so long to update kerslash in person.

Kerslash on Temporary Hiatus!

I am officially declaring Kerslash on temporary hiatus to catch up on some things. I just have a lot of work on my plate right now and I need to devote some undivided attention to some other comic/animation projects that I have been trying to work on. I've been trying to juggle updating kerslash in conjunction with everything else, and it's resulting in everything being late.

So just give me some time to catch up on the paying side jobs and check back around this time next month. Thanks for your patience guys.


P.S. My first shipment of Kerslash mini's should be coming in next week, so if you want to order one from me, hit me up: benolds01@yahoo.com

Another Kerslash review!

Today I stumbled upon a new review of Kerslash on Webcomic Z from last week:

http://www.webcomicz.com/articles/31/impressions-kerslash.html

"The art-style has become more refined over the years. Exciting line-art combined with halftone black-and-white and some greyscale coloring gives Kerslash a unique style that many could quickly label as a rip-off of manga; and be very wrong. While I'm sure Ben was influenced by manga, it feel very much like a stylistic choice for the comic rather than many manga-styled webcomics copying the style simply because they don't know any better. Kerslash wouldn't work as any other style."

It's a fairly positive review. I usually get flack for being slow and missing updates, but usually nobody rips my poor web-design. Yeah, I'm self aware, I know that site sucks. I'm going to give the entire site a make over before the month is over. I just wanted to get some updates on time before having to go on 1 week hiatus to update the site design.

About the Kerslash mini's: the printer has recieved my revised pages, just waiting for them to get back to me to let me know when I can start placing orders.

Dueces.

Kerslash Mini's!

My Kerslash mini prototype was waiting for me when I got back from Ohio. All I have to do is fix some spelling errors and they'll be good to go!


It looks really good!
sorry if you bought a crappy photocopy version.

You can't wait to buy one can you!??!?
