Comics #010-012
UnlivedPhalanx (the guy in the white armor below), is the manager/leader/director/overlord/dictator of the website, and he basically runs everything. He codes the site, pays the bills, publicizes, etc. I just create the content. He’s nice and easy to work with in the real world, so I thought in the comic world, I’d make him a complete tyrant. As you can tell from Comic 11, the comic Dark Spartan doesn’t really take it too well, expressing his frustration in the comics that Phalanx demands (in the comic, Thinking Rock Studio is more of a professional media business (hence the office) that has gone downhill, almost into bankruptcy. Also, Phalanx has apparently expressed such dissatisfaction with DS to go as far as to fire him at least fifteen times. Why he keeps getting hired back is a mystery, maybe because in the post-apocalyptic future comic makers are far and few…such is not the case at PHWOnline.
Since the office that Thinking Rock is housed in is actually a Counter-Strike map (cs_office), they often get pestered by inevitable invading terrorists and counter-terrorists, to the point where they can tune it out and get on with their lives.
Another neat little special to take a look at is my new announcement comic, finally ending my inactivity in comic making over the past few months (all of these comics are from September-November 2006), you can check it out here.
In the new announcement, you’ll notice DS looking a little different than his shabby self. A few days ago, I finally decided that he needed a new look, and so made him a new skin. My friend n00bguy was kind enough to hex it (make the skin have its own model) for me. He’s also doing one for my friend Rockman, which was also made by me.
