Drawl Origins Page 36

blog...

Update on the Next Chapter.

As you can see in the order of names in the Header, The Jakobdians will be following Drawl Origins.

I currently have fifteen pages of it done. I would be working on them today. But first off, it’s Father’s Day.

Well, despite it being Father’s Day, we all found it more important to work on the best house in the world… and once again, I’m left at home taking care of things.

My second reason as to why I can’t work on it now is because my Xbox is currently at a friend’s house. Will pick it up on Monday.

Anyway, The Jakobdians. Fifteen pages done. I did the naming of the pages for uploading purposes, and guess what.

The fifteenth page will be released on the 22nd. Does anyone get it?

The fifteenth page here will be incredibly useful for those who want to know what The Jakobdians is all about. On that day, a good load of us Halo fans will be romping through New Mombasa, kicking ass in the most bad-ass kind of way: Silent, deadly, and with an AutoMag.

It’s only a page that’s released, one that can be read in less than a minute. A single minute of a distraction will matter little, if at all, when you’re all alone and there are no snipers in sight… or if you’ve got three fellow ODSTs watching corners and rooftops.

Damn, I can’t wait for the tactical awesomeness to come… not to mention Firefight.

Diploma exams

I haz them very soon.

… Although that doesn’t really affect the comic, because I’ve had it done beforehand.

However, I really need to get busy with The Jakobdians. Only two complete pages, and they were complete for weeks now.

Heh…

Drawl Origins Trailer

Yeah, I forgot to show it here.

Contains crappy voice acting and some bad camera-work, all balancing with awesome music and actually good camerawork and editing in general.

I want to thank my friends UnholyJunkie, Uaga11, and my brother Allecyte for helping with this.

DRAWL ORIGINS

Coming on Monday the 13th. Prepare yourselves for the first Chapter in the 6-Chapter JKBverse.

As a reminder, it will be undergoing a Mon-Wed-Fri schedule, and I will post updates for it on the Bungie Blog. In my spare time, I will work on the Second Chapter of the JKBverse, “The Jakobdians”.

Enjoy.

-HJ.

Hai Guyz.

I have murdered two people so far in my lifetime. My next target is my own dad because he’s such a mean jerk.

Oh hey, guess what day it is!

-April Fool’s Junkie.

Coincidence!

Before going to Kung Fu, I was playing Team Mythic. I was multi-tasking while waiting for the game to load. Suddenly, someone on my team said “HolyJunkie, where have I heard that name before?”

I turned to the screen to see who said it, and guess who it was:

Sangheilioz. He’s a regular comment-dropper at the Reclaimer Webcomic. It was a lot of fun playing with him.

Forgot to add him to my friend’s list, though. I had to head to Kung Fu ASAP.

Halo 3 Webcomics1

Note the “1″ there. I’m trying to imply that this certainly won’t be the last time I do something like this.

What is “this”? you may ask, What “this” is is… Screw it, I’m not going to waste words like a Shakespearean. Check it through the link:

Halo 3 Webcomics Logo

Of course, this isn’t the REAL design, it’s just part of what we cartoonists are doing for this small group in the sea that is the Halo community. We’re pitching our ideas at each other like baseball fans of rival teams in the same neighborhood.

… I don’t watch baseball, so I should probably come up with a simile that I can actually relate to…

Stupidest, yet probably one of the best ideas ever.

I’ll assume it’ll be the former until proven otherwise.

The idea: Usne as a hero unit in Halo Wars.

Okay, I’ll wait until your laughter stops…

Main Attack: Hammer > Sword > Dual swords

Passive Abilities:

The Aura (constant effect) : Boosts performance of units. Can be upgraded all the way up to the size of a standard base.

Rush (Y-activated) : Temporarily boosts Usne’s speed to allow him to outrun most units. At first, he can outrun marines. Next upgrade, he can outrun tanks. After the last one, he can outrun Warthogs. Full upgrade will basically make him the fastest unit in the game, even faster than a boosting Banshee, probably.

Super Unit: … Uh… Hijacked Sentinels?

Now then, the problem is that he sides with no one… Bummer. Yep, definitely a stupid idea.

Wait! I know! Jakob!

Main Attack: SMG (short range, low power) > Battle Rifle (med range, med power) > Sniper Rifle (long range, high power)

Passive Abilities:

Time-Slow (Y-activated) : Slows down time to a near-stop, allowing him to take more shots at units, with more damage and more accuracy. After all, they’re not moving targets and they’re not shooting back. Unfortunately, it slows down every unit except Jakob. That includes Jakob’s user’s units. It also depletes Jakob’s health. Double-edged sword, eh?

Blood Regeneration (constant effect) : Usage of his ability has allowed him to become tolerant of blood loss, and even developed a quickened blood recovery rate. Leave him out of battle and he will heal by himself. There’s no need for the UNSC’s heal ability.

Super Unit: … Actually, I can’t really reveal the characters I planned to use here…

… Okay, are you guys still laughing?

It actually would be wicked if modders actually made custom heroes in Halo Wars, eh?

Actually, what if people started making… nevermind, actually.

Something wicked on Bonus Stuff appears.

Yes, a lame Scottish Play reference.

Anyway, if you haven’t checked out Bonus Stuff recently, you’ll see a title page you’ll find pretty interesting.

I still have the wallpaper, and I don’t think I should reveal it just yet. It shows too much, considering the first page isn’t even out yet.

So here’s a little taste: The Title Page. Comments about it go here or something like that.

Jakya Studios… in detail.

Sure, the link may be there on the sidebar, but I don’t think many get what it’s supposed to be, and therefore not really care after one view.

It’s a blog I got from Wordpress.com, one of those free ones that allow you to put up one of limited themes, and you’re generally not allowed to change the design, but it’s free, and it gets Wordpress traffic that it so well deserves.

It’s basically Wordpress’ answer to things like Blogspot or Xanga. My blog is basically a journal, except instead of some random “My dog’s blog. Woof woof, I just chewed on a bone and it was yummy,” like most blogs and their… dog… Jakya Studios is more of a Day journal about my boring and ultimately very sad life. Think Kevin Smith with his “My Boring-Ass Life”, which is basically a compilation of his personal blog entries made into a book. I made the Day Journal sort of inspired by Kevin Smith. For those of you who don’t know who Kevin Smith is, just look him up. I’m too lazy to dig up links.

I run this blog alongside some dude who lives in my basement, who’s known as “Jakob”. I realise I sort of stole his name for the character in DEAD, but who’s going to care? Jakob certainly doesn’t mind. A name’s a name, after all.

Jakya Studios is the combined efforts of Jakob and myself. I’m the artistic douchebag who’s more out-going and social, while Jakob is the very talented writer who despises humanity and almost never socialises, despite the fact that he sometimes ends up at different parts of the world a good number of times. Every weekend, he simply disappears to reappear on Monday morning.

Anyway, Jakob’s a writer, and he’s teaching me how to not suck so much. He also makes his odd post on the blog, but otherwise, it’s run by myself.

To those who don’t like swearing, I’d recommend avoiding the blog. Jakob is a candid swear-box and I tend to get rough around the edges when it’s a subject of something I find stupid or annoying. Otherwise, I’m usually mild.

I started the thing in the first place as a form of stress relief, and it actually works. It’s like taking what’s on your mind and throwing it on a text document of some kind, except instead of letting it clutter your hard drive, you put it up for the world to check out if they give a darn.

There are some things in some posts that may not make sense in others. I don’t really notice or care.

So yeah, if you’re honestly so bored, check it if you want. Shameless plugs for the fail.
