TOABN 25, a few random doodles

Well, long time no see, people. I haven't posted in a while because of school vacation last week. In addition, I feel that this blog is for posting the doodles; I don't want to make myself doodle for the sake of the blog. Today I've got TOABN 25, and several other pages of random doodles.

TOABN 25 reveals something that I didn't even realize was the case until I wrote this strip...the link between Nate's mask tails and his mood. It just evolved on its own as I drew the thing.

The first of these random doodle pages is the first one I've posted that's in pen, I believe. This page started with the word "YO!" at the top, and then just got out of control. One thing I really liked was the spider web near the middle of the left side.
EDIT: BTW, I know that that face with the guy and the baseball cap looks really, really stupid.This is from doodling randomly while studying (it helps me concentrate), and I couldn't help but draw a tank and make a "luftwaffle" joke. I'm sure it's been done before, but I was bored and I had a pencil, so I drew it.

This Cold War thing is from the top of some notes on the Cold War, as a title. I'm not sure if it really counts as a doodle, but I liked it, because it got across the effect of the letters being made of snow (as I intended).
This one is actually pretty small in real life, just about three inches tall.
The first cartoon on this page was, as I wrote on it, inspired by a real quote from my biology teacher, Mr. Snow. The Spanchese one was inspired by a friend saying to me in Spanish class that, due to his recent trip to China, he keeps mixing up Spanish and Chinese (he takes both languages).

This one is my favorite of the bunch, because of the cartoon on the lower half. The picture on the top was the start of drawing some sort of futuristic helmet.

TOABN 24

You may have noted that I haven't posted in the last several days. The reason is the Jewish holiday of Passover (Pesach), which my family celebrates. However, the time-consuming part of it is over now, so posts should get back to normal.

TOABN 23

TOABN 23 is pretty neat, and almost artistic. It certainly was fun to draw. They're in the crow's nest of the USS Junk. Note that Alfred is taking his mead/beer/ale/grog/whatever in a teacup!

TOABN 21, Some Not-Too-Fear-Inspiring Warcries

Here's number 21, kicking off the week with a nice bit of combat!
Followed by a severe anticlimax mixed with...cutting-in-halfing!!!

And now for a doodle I did friday, titled "Some Not-Too-Fear-Inspiring Warcries."

Biology Doodle, TOABN 20

This is based on something my teacher said in Bio today. My teacher was talking about how some scientists get very heated about opposition to their hypotheses...and this was the result. Below it, on the same page, is TOABN 20!

TOABN 19

Not much to report today...here's the strip. Note the neat looking "19" to the left

TOABN 17, History class doodle

Hey people! Weekend was pretty hectic, and Friday saw us with some serious snow (unfortunately not early enough to cancel school). Anyways, I know you don't give a damn about that, so here's the comic:
I wonder what the scene that the Janitor found looks like...I never actually drew it. After all, I imagine it could be pretty awful, and I don't care to draw REALISTIC violence (funny-ish cartoon violence is one thing, but drawing that's just sick)

Here's a new one. As you can see, Nate and Danny are on the top. Danny looks a bit unusual though; that's because I'm thinking of giving him a scimitar, possibly and olde-style pistol, and one earring, instead of or in addition to his axe. Instead of might be nice, as it gives him a big range of weapons! There are other gems in the doodle if you look!

TOABN 16

Well, I think we're slowly approaching catching up to the comics I'm drawing. I've finished number 30, since I started drawing them a while before this site was up, or even before I had any intention of making a site. It's number 16, people (applause!).

TOABN 15

I REALLY like this one!

TOABN 13

TOABN 13, people. You have to love the second panel. So dramatic! And over something so...unimportant (though to Nate it is more important than anything).

TOABN 12

Here we've got number 12! It's Nate and Alfred, battling, which is, alone awesome.
And now that you've (hopefully) read the comic, you won't mind me saying I love the second panel! DODGE!

TOABN doodle, TOABN 11

During class today I drew a cool version of the title of TOABN, "Tales of a Bored Ninja", but all made of various weapons. Going in order, they are:
Pickaxe, handaxe, spear, chakram, whip, ball and chain (for 'o' and 'f'), a dagger, a sword with two odd spikes, a bladesaw, ye olde style pistol, a bladed boomerang, a halberd, a 3-section-staff, a cannon, a taser, a musket, and a cartoony torpedo.
And, after you've taken an appropriate amount of time admiring that, check out TOABN 11. That erasure in the corder is covering up the "12" that goes next to the following comic (directly below 11 on the page), since I didn't want readers to think that the second line in the strip was number 12. The erasure at the top cuts off the bottom of number 10, since the "11" projects higher than the strip itself. Odd title for the Ninja book, I know. And kinda bloodier than I mean this comic to actually be. Except for cartoon violence, in a humorous manner. Such as comic #1.

3 random doodles and TOABN 10

I thought some of these came out pretty neat. The other two random doodles are from English class. The second one has a few nice comics on it. One has the guy tripping off the globe, and the other about poor internet grammar/spelling.
And now for TOABN:

Funny Phylogenetic Trees, Eddie Izzard

Eddie Izzard: Definite Article
The link above goes to the Google Video version of Eddie Izzard's Definite Article show. It's what I was watching a couple days ago. Watch it!

Now here we have a neat doodle I did in biology class, while discussing phylogenetic trees. The top half is a REAL one, but the bottom is the Religious Right version.

And here's TOABN 9! And yes, that's a shameless Monty Python reference in the last panel.

TOABN 8

Well, here's the eighth comic in the series! And yes, that does say piratry, not piracy. It's intentional. Deal with it :D . This comic advances the plot, but the art isn't that pretty. The ones I just finished today in class are MUCH better. Number 23 is the latest I've drawn.

Later tonight, if I remember, I will post the Eddie Izzard routine, so that you don't have to hunt for it.

TOABN 7, Skiing

Number seven is now up! Who could this mysterious person be!?



Today my best friend and I took a bus up north and went skiing, and it was PERFECT! There was powder everywhere, and it was snowing the whole time, too.

As I write this, I'm listening to Eddie Izzard's standup routine...
I HIGHLY recommend checking the 5 part thing out on YouTube.

TOABN 6

Alright, since I've been delaying posting since I haven't finished the touchup, I've decided that I will post daily or ever other day, and whenever I'm done with a touchup, post that as well. This way, I don't have something to keep me from updating. Here's today's strip! I WILL keep posting now, because the touchups were the only reason I avoided it.

TOABN 2 Touchup

Alrighty, I finally gave up on doing the boring, repetitive, and dull task (and did I mention I didn't like it?) of trying to do the StickFight! for now. Tonight I did the TOABN 2 touchup. Tell me what you think of it!

TOABN 5 Original

Alright, I'm falling a bit behind on the touchups, because of recent events, including my grandfather's death and the dreaded thesis. But hopefully I'll start to catch up soon, even though I may have to temporarily let up on posting daily. Otherwise, my posting could get way ahead of my touchup-ing.

Here's TOABN 5!

TOABN 4 Original

Wow, I never realized how much time it would end up taking to do the StickFight 1 touchup. I'm currently less than 1/2 done, since I haven't had much time to work on it, since I have some essays and tests soon.

Here's the comic:
