It’s Sarah! Updated.

Hello everybody who’s visiting from Something*Positive!  (Randy lost a bet.)  I hope you enjoy my simple strip about a co-ed college dormatory.

If you’re new here, I’ve been posting my “model sheets”  which show alternate outfits for the characters into the blog day to day as they show up in the comic.  Today is Sarah’s day!  I think I’m gonna go mostly purple, magenta, and green with her, as you can see, with lots of layered clothing.

A version of Sarah appeared in one of my older webcomics, but she didn’t get much chance to shine there.  This will be different this time!  The interplay between her and her roommate, Joyce, is going to be one of the big focuses of Dumbing of Age.

Comics Alliance review of DoA

Today’s midday update was gonna be Sarah’s “model sheet,” predictably, but I spent noon-ish cranking out the beginning of the last Joyce and Walky!s.  (Five pages!)  Instead, have a sort of 3/5 day update which consists of this Comics Alliance “pros and cons” review of Dumbing of Age:

‘Roomies’ Webcomic Creator Heads Back to College in ‘Dumbing of Age’

I’ll give you Sarah tomorrow.  She’ll still be relevant!

Gee, it’s Joe.

Let’s all bid a bittersweet farewell to Joe’s It’s Walky!-era purple luau shirt.  A college freshman who wants to have intimate relations with multiple females is not going to be wearing that in 2010.  Unfortunately, as, if I recall correctly, Starline Hodge pointed out to me the other day, the modern equivalent of the tacky luau shirt is the Ed Hardy shirt.  I googled that, because I am 31, and, man, no way am I gonna be drawin’ those!  All those patterns colors would double my drawing time!

So, as a concession, I found a fairly subdued example and tried to filter it down into an “I can do this in more than one panel” simplicity.  Other than that, yay, stripes.  We love stripes!

But goodbye, purple luau shirt.  We had some good times.  Let’s retire you… with a song.

I’m all out of love, I’m so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I’m all out of love, what am I without you?
I can’t be too late to say that I was so wrong

The creation of Friday’s strip in exact-speed motion!

by David M Willis on September 17, 2010 at 10:37 pm
Posted In: Blog

Here’s a video of me drawing Friday’s strip on Ustream.tv, way back on August 5.  Watch me pull up photos of the real-life location as a reference to create the strip’s backgrounds!  Watch me, uh, draw the characters!  Um.  For about an hour and fifteen minutes total!  Yeah!  Woo!

Yeah, that’s all I got.  It’s the first night since DoA began that we don’t have an update, since last weekend’s weekend updates were a one-time-only thing, and I just felt weird about not having any new content.  So hopefully this will help sate your appetites until Monday, when the regular M-F schedule begins.

Oh, Danny boy!

This is Danny, who was the main character in Roomies!.  In Dumbing of Age, Joyce takes center stage, pushing Danny into the background a bit, but not so far into the background that he wouldn’t need a change of clothes.  He used to be a hoodie guy, but I want to make that Walky’s thing, so I came up with some Stuff That Isn’t A Hoodie for him.  Some, but not all.

Basically, Danny dresses himself like every character Breckin Meyer has ever played.

These were some clothes that Maggie and my friend Graham helped me with.  Graham had read my blog post about Billie’s wardrobe in which I said I was an old, bloated dude who didn’t have any grasp of modern girls’ fashion (but I don’t remember using the word “bloated”), and pointed out to me that I did know, like, fifteen people who taught high school.

Hint taken, Graham.  Hint taken.

(What this means is that everyone is going to be wearing Crocs.)
