Franky Bones 0 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I hope you all will appreciate this effort and I welcome all of your opinions. I have been a member of this forum for a long time and never posted anything close to spam. I hope this doesn't get perceived as such. I chose this forum to publicly announce the launch of Life's A Bluff for several reasons. I have made quite a few friends (and enemies) here but I bottom line is I respect the boards. I couldn't really think of a better place.So... LaB is a webcomic about poker and life. Rather than join the millions of you fine bloggers I decided to choose a different route. Some of you may recognize the artist. I hope you guys enjoy it. Please check out the site via my sig and let me know what you all think. Link to post Share on other sites

Franky Bones 0 Posted June 22, 2006 Author Share Posted June 22, 2006 Right on guys... thanks for all the comments. There is a lot more planned so stay tuned. The comics are first written as a script.. Then they are hand drawn and inked. Then scanned into the computer and colored. A wacom is used with photoshop.Your girl... would LOVE a wacom. There are some lower end ones if price is an issue. Link to post Share on other sites

ricker 0 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Very well done, I've mentioned it in my pathetic excuse of a blog. Hopefully a few of my readers will check it out. Link to post Share on other sites
Wandigo 1 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Great stuff Franky, definately looking forward to more.In the 7th frame, you should make him running out of a bank.. Since he just deposited his check (from 6) and then goes home to use his Hell Taco money to play online.. just a thought from somebody who can't draw for beans. Link to post Share on other sites

Since he just deposited his check (from 6) and then goes home to use his Hell Taco money to play online.. just a thought from somebody who can't draw for beans.We tried with this first one to allow anyone to draw any conclusion from each of the panels. Like the 10-2 when he sees paycheck. He is running from work... or now that you mention.. maybe the bank. Final frame he might be getting his royal but its really about his happiness in relaxation.

Franky Bones 0 Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 what do they cook with a deep fryer at a taco place?edit: it did make me smile thoughAt Hell Taco you have to deep fry the taco meat to make sure you kill all the bacteria. Sort of like Taco Bell.Check back tomorrow for another strip too. We are planning "wild-card" days where we have bonus strips and other cool stuff. We have a lot of extra material that we are eager to trickle out. Link to post Share on other sites

offset 0 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I like it. Are you planning on including more dialogue in later strips or just leaving it up to more interpretations? Link to post Share on other sites
Franky Bones 0 Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 I like it. Are you planning on including more dialogue in later strips or just leaving it up to more interpretations?Yes we will have more dialogue. This one was really just to set the mood and left up to the imagination of the reader type comic. I have over a years worth of notes and possible strips. Many are done and many are planned. BUT we still want suggestions from you guys on what would you would like to see.Check the strip that will be up in about a half hour. and HangukMiguk, PM me and we can do a link swap.
