QTMC 10!

Here it is, the decennial edition of Quick Time Moral Choice, written by yours truely, I'm sad to say.

(So is everyone else, Hjels...)

Unfortunately, I got no submissions for the guest writer spot, but I soldiered on on my own, completely alone in the cold, bitter wilderness. Like a bear cub, lost from it's mother, trudging across the barren tundra, I walked with no salvation in sight, with only my own unshakeable belief in the project for company. When the night was at it's darkest, I...

I seem to have lost my train of thought...

Ah yes! Read, enjoy, be back for more. Please...

QTMC #8

Comic strips! You guys remember I used to dabble in that, right?

Well, I'm back, my beautiful readers, with the brand spanking new Quick Time Moral Choice numero 8, and for the first time, it's actually topical. By now I suppose all of you have heard of the ending debacle surrounding this year's most anticipated trilogy closer, Mass Effect 3, and that very ending which I won't spoil here, affected me so much that I had to make a comic about it. In short, I was severely dissapointed by the amount of plotholes and the lack of closure the last 15 minutes of the final game in my favorite games trilogy provided.

So, drawing this was a means of catharsis for me, and hopefully, for you as well. Unless you liked the ending of course. Then I'm happy for you. I'm still just as devasted. And yes, I know it bothers me disproportionally. There are alot of problems in th world which should take presedence, but it's Mass Effect, dammit! Damn BioWare for making me love too much, and then punch me in the face, as I closed my eyes and leaned in for the kiss.

Anyhoo, since alot of you may not have finished the game, and the comic strip spoils it completely, I've hidden it behind the link you'll find below. Promise me that you won't click it until you've finished the game. Promise!

You sexy thing...

Quick Time Moral Choice 8

Back to basics

So four installments into my Quick Time Moral Tales project, and it seems like a success. Traffic to the blog has increased, and I've gotten some good, thought-through feedback on my stupid stories. But my writing isn't the only thing you come here for, is it? This blog was started as a web-comic and it shall continue to be just that. So you'll be glad or indifferent to know that the next strip is in the works, and that I have a good feeling about it. Look for another QTMT late this week, or early next, and as for the comic, well... It's done when it's done, you know the drill.

In other news, Mass Effect 3 comes out next week, meaning that all work on the blog will suspended for the forseeable future. I'm kidding of course, but Sweet Daisy Marie, I am looking forward to that game, and there is a slight, miniscule possiblity that playing that game might get in the way of some of my work here. But those of you who have followed this thing from the start know that I've never missed a deadline. Oh, wait... On the plus side, I'm sure it will provide me with many ideas for the comic. Just to prove to you that I haven't been exclusively goofing off at least, here are a couple of drawerings I done did since the last comic. The  first is an illustration I made for ace e-zine Conjectural Figments (new issue forthcoming) and the second is a piece of fanart I did for the Laser Time podcast, both of which you should check out, because both are awesome. Get on it!

I call it Humanity Plus. Pretty clever, huh? Huh?
