Penny Dreadful or... Devil Cowboys???

[MSperoni]

The Dreadful ought to make the possibility of at least ONE comic per week more..uhh...possible

The difference with "The Dreadful" and the other comics currently being produced is that there's a far less likely chance of scheduling conflicts. "Dreadful" is pretty much riding on the time and energy of a single person rather than a team (though there has been a lot of valuable behind-the-scenes help and much appreciated creative consulting).

So as long there is free-time, there shall be comics!

So we can all pretty much count on this never seeing the light of day, huh?

[MSperoni]

If by "never" you mean "nearly always"!

Wait, wait, wait... Matt is doing the writing and art on The Dreadful?

Pffft, there goes my interest.

He is At least mainly. Brian's around as editor of sorts to make sure I don't mess it up TOO much, and to give me help when I need it. Also he's serving as a "content" adviser so the story doesn't spiral down a path of hardcore sex, violence and profanity (or to guarantee it does that, I'm not sure exactly)

Also, I owe thanks to the brainstorming assistance of a number of people who frequent NPF. I'll talk more in detail about it all once the first page of "The Dreadful" is posted. Or if anyone asks between now and then

(I'm not 100% sure when the first page will be posted. Thursday maybe?)

If I'm amongst your target audience, I think you have the wrong idea.

Edit: Also we're going to need a The Dreadful thread tag now, I guess.

[MSperoni]

I guess a picture of a revolver would work. Or maybe a little devil head. (in regards to a thread tag).

I actually considered going for a crazy degree of violence ala' Fallout 3 but I thought that might be pushing it too far. I haven't settled completely on a tone for the comic yet, but I'm leaning toward a few options. I'll make up my mind as the story goes (hopefully! ).

I was messing around in the GIMP trying to make "The Dreadful" with the devil tail coming off the end of the L and curling around to underline the name. I have no actual art skills, however, and the current devil tail silhouettes curve wrong to use as an underline.

Something like this, but smaller (obviously), and with the tail:

Maaaaybe brighter, depending on what it'd look like on the background by the threads (which is a few shades lighter than this). Edit: actually I think it's the same color as quote boxes, so I just tossed that in one.

Well, like I said in the title of my other post: You had me at demon cowgirls.

That looks pretty good to me

I like the way all the thread tags look (particularly the Warbot one ) and so I'm pretty confident whatever it ends up being will look cool

How about one that just says DREAD? Easier to read when shrunk down 'cause then the letters can be a little bigger.

But I don't know nuthin' about no tags!
