A Special Ganked



In WoW when we set out to go on a quest, or instance run, we make sure that we have everything that we need. We'll stock up bandages, potions, food, and water. We'll head out determined to finish the quest. Most of the time we are way in over our heads handling elite mobs, and after getting a whoppin for a few hours we hearthstone back with our heads down, but determined to come back.

That is the best way I can describe the journey that has been Ganked. From the first strip down to the most recent we have gone through many story, character, and drawing challenges. There have been many great improvements over the course of the strip, and still many great ideas to explore. However, like any tough instance I feel the time has come to step out for a bit and get some rest points. This means that this will be the last Ganked in a good long time. However, this doesn't mean that I am quitting Ganked for good. I'll still be working on new ideas, and when the time is right I'll share them with you. Thanks again for your support and readership.

What you can expect from is that I will be working on great new ideas, new stories, and new art. I got a cintiq a while back and it is the best investment I have ever made. It has totally changed my work flow. So on Sketch Craft you can expect to see a lot more new ideas and art.

Again, Thank you for your support.

The Last Ganked!




So far Ganked has been a fun and wonderful learning experience. We've come to strip 10 and we've realized that Ganked has out grown it's small daily 4 panel strip. We want to tell bigger stories with more action, adventure, and a small dose of comedy where possible. So this will be the last strip of Ganked. We're still not sure if we're going to release weekly, bi-monthly, or monthly. We do know we're going to expand the format. Hopefully we can get something up by October if not sooner.

Strip 9

Strip 8 "Breath Mints"

Strip 7 "Sheep’d"



A bit late but here it is.

So continues the mana water saga!

Ganked Strip 2

After looking back on the first strip I decided to make a few changes, two of them being the strip format and character design. While the 4 panel format didn't change much, I did change the characters though. I wanted something more toonier and for the rest of the strip I'll keep experimenting with the character design till I find something I am comfortable with. This is also the first strip with the "Ganked" logo.

The Green Thong of Shame.

Here it is, the very first Ganked strip, enjoy!

Ganked!

For a while now I have been working on a comic strip, with my friend Eric, called "Ganked." It was done in conjunction with a The Game Council podcast. Three times a month they'd post a new podcast along with a new comic strip. Things have changed and I have decided to bring Ganked here. Every Monday there will be a new Ganked posted. During the week there will be sketches and story ideas posted.

So what is Ganked? It's a comic strip based on World of Warcraft. The difference with this strip is that the gaming element is totally removed. The World of Warcraft is real and its unfortunate characters move about the world without any outside player controlling their actions. Every week I'll post info about a character and their place in the WoW world.

Hopefully Ganked can become full time. The first goal is to get Ganked out every week, however bad it may be. Be warned, I will experiment with everything to character designs to color pallets. You will see some weird changes and hopefully some color! Eric, the co-writer, and I will also play around with story and dialogue. I think we'll come up with some great stuff that you'll enjoy!

Here's to rest of the year getting Ganked!

More Jaka Sketches

After posting the last Jaka sketch I went back and worked on the character some more. I also began developing the other characters in the group. I'll post more info on them later. Jaka however, is pure evil. Hates the alliance, but somehow all that bad karma comes back to haunt Jaka's friends. Oh well, so goes the Jaka curse!








Here are some other WoW characters, unfortunate victims of the "Jaka Curse."

Jaka!

Feared by all!

Thats how I ended up with the crappy assignments!

No, not really, but if projects were decided by the number of head shots I sure would get all the crappy jobs. An old idea for a comic strip. More details to come and maybe some word balloons too. Here is a quick sketch for now. And YES Eric you get credit too!! No need for head shots!
