Episode 25 of Podwarp 1999 is up now!

Breaking the Silence (September Edition)

Friday, September 12th, 2008

I’ve been a little quiet here so far this month – mainly because most of the time I have to work on the comic has been spent on the actual comic! (Not all, I’ll admit – but most!) But I’m still here. PodWarp 1999 has also been a little quiet, but we’ve got a couple new episodes that’ll go up as soon as they’re done being edited. In the meantime, you can listen to some other webcomic podcasts, such as the Sequential Artists’ Pub (you can hear me contribute a bit to some episodes there), the Gigcast, the Webcomic Beacon, Webcomics Weekly, and Digital Strips. (And of course any others you find! But check back in with Podwarp 1999 soon.)

In other news, Ben Gordon mentioned in a recent post on The Floating Lightbulb that he wouldn’t be surprised if Station V3 is a “break out” comic in the coming year, “as more people discover the great color choices, wild cartoony art and reliable humor.” Sounds good to me! If you’ve got a website and want to link to Station V3 to help out with that, I’ve got a page with some banners and buttons you can use.

I’m always working on that sort of thing too, of course, and one way is by advertising on other sites through Project Wonderful. I’ve had some nice comments on some of the ads I’ve been using recently with sample comic bits in them. If you haven’t seen the ads (or even if you have), I’ve got two versions of a comic I drew for them up as today’s bonuses, here and here. And of course, voting for the comic is another way to help promote Station V3! While the effectiveness of voting lists has been the subject of some debate, I will say they do bring at least a few people here. So thank you to everyone who’s been voting – and thanks for reading!

And in other news…

Friday, August 15th, 2008

V3 reader Daniel Ellingson has created some interesting things with the Spore Creature Creator – including a very nice version of Julius the Rumormonger!

In addition to Julius, today’s comic reveals that one of the other rumormongers is named Marco, and yesterday’s revealed that one of them is named Kyle. (There’s a little trivia question about Kyle on the forum!)

Silence in the Darkness on Q16 recently had its 500th strip go up! (Still dark – but not always silent.)

Two new episodes of PodWarp 1999 have gone up recently – a short Episode 22 with just me, Mark Mekkes, and guest Aaron Lewis, and a regular-length Episode 23 with the regular PodWarp crew!

And finally, I’ve updated the voting bonuses – there’s a sprite strip up at TopWebcomics, and a bad translation of today’s strip up at the all-new redesigned buzzComix. Thanks for voting!

Rumormongers Are Go!

Monday, July 28th, 2008

If you’ve joined Star Pirates (or you’re going to) and now you’re looking for a fleet to join, the Rumormongers fleet is the one for you! In addition to being the “official” Station V3 fleet, its abbreviation is “RUM” – and how much more appropriately pirate-y can you get?

For today’s new voting bonus, there’s a sprite strip in which one of the Rumormongers is considering joining the fleet while he waits for the next round of Rumormonger Idol to start!

And on a completely different note, the fifth episode of The Sequential Artists’ Pub is up! I was there again for this one – lots of interesting topics covered, like a cartoonists’ public persona, pen names, mirror sites, the use of RSS feeds (Station V3 has one) and blogs on comic sites (like this one you’re reading right now).
