Redesign!

Sunday, September 14th, 2008

I spent some time redesigning SecondComic.com and I think it looks good. Right now we have a cute banner we made using the cool flash app over at faceyourmanga.com, which is really cool. If you see any bugs or something that isn’t quite right (I already know this layout doesn’t work in IE7), let me know by commenting or leaving me an email on Freddy at Secondcomic.com.

I’m actually posting this on Chrome right now, the new browser from Google. It doesn’t have the functionality or ease of use that Firefox does but so far I’m really liking it, to the point where it has actually become my new default browser. Everything seems to load much faster in it because of the webkit they use for rendering and javascript is smooth and silky. Just wish they would add more to it and get it finished already.

Here is something that is cute, I made Webb and Penler on faceyourmanga.com:

Fan Art

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

Thanks to Tifany Gonzalez for drawing our very first piece of fanart! You can see more of her stuff at her DA SasuNaruGirl and her company DA NekoCorps.

Enjoy the younger, more innocent looking Norvu, you probably won’t get much of it in this comic :)

New Update Schedule

Sunday, June 8th, 2008

We’ve finally decided on a stable update schedule for the comic. It will now update every weekend (as in, sometime between Friday night and Sunday night). We’d love to update more than once a week but, well, we’re procrastinators. I kid…sorta. To make up for this whole once-a-week deal, we’ve decided to post up a few journal entries and short stories throughout the week that will reveal some details about the setting and past events. I know, I know, we could’ve just written out an about page (if you haven’t checked out our about page, please do so. It’s pure brilliance), but we thought having you guys piece everything together (like the main characters will have to do) would be so much more agonizing fun.

New Wallpapers

Hey all, I added some new wallpapers if you want to use them =]

Not dead yet

Sunday, May 4th, 2008

Hiya folks! Artist here. Just wanted to let the odd one or two daily readers know that the comic’s not dead! I went into hardcore study mode due to finals and the writer kept me from seeing the script of the next page until exams were over (blame him, not me! >:D). We did get around to developing the plot and the characters quite a bit though and I’ll be posting some teaser images of upcoming characters soon (as well as some nifty wallpapers, a world map in the works, character bios and an actual plot synopsis). In the meantime, meet Aurell:

Also, I’d really love some input on the art (if you’re too shy to post for all to see, just e-mail me). I’m brand spankin’ new to Photoshop and I’m bound to make things look completely retarded. So feel free to throw any suggestions (especially Photoshop tips!) and critiques my way =)

New Layout!

Monday, March 10th, 2008

Okay, so it’s not terribly different… but, the site does look 100x better in my opinion. I don’t really have much to say other than that, this post is also a test post as well as a “zomg new layout” post.

The new layout also works perfectly in both Firefox and Ie7. I’ve not tried Opera (or any other browser for that matter) yet, so let me know if you get problems and you’ll receive my deepest sympathies :P .

New boards coming!

Saturday, March 8th, 2008

Okay, because our old Message Board script sucked rotten eggs, I’m going to be integrating WordPress with a Message board system called Vanilla, which I really like the look of. So expect that in the nigh future.

Message Board

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008

Howdy there freaks and geeks, here’s a nice little surprise and something I wasn’t planning on adding at all. A Message Board!

Yes, we now have a place where you can all converge and talk about the horrible great comic goodness to come! You can register with wordpress and start posting right away. The great thing about that is that I’m able to manage the members who sign up easily within wordpress and you guys no longer have to fill out any information when commenting.

Have fun.
