He's clearly a gentleman.

*gives you a "You guessed it right" cookie* >.>

[alikatt_25]

awesome, i love cookies =)

[WavemasterRyx]

well i'm glad redrawing the roughs went so well, that's great Hikki

it's amazing Dan managed to keep his mouth shut about it for so long, quite the gentleman but poor stinky Chris, how is he going to find a shower on that side of town i wonder

[DangerHikky]

The answer to that question and literally no others provided here,

In the new page!

As the notes say, I will be gone until Saturday at 10 pm so new page either on early sunday morning or early monday morning.

[WavemasterRyx]

well i hope it's a trip for a good reason and not something bad happening - i'm sure i'll figure some way to do without an update until sunday or monday, possibly involving sacrifices of some kind

[alikatt_25]

seems someone is house sitting for the folks. either that or they're robbing the place.

[Bad_Witch]

Dan, you are a wonderful friend. You didn't even pinch your nose and wave your hand when you told Chris how bad he stank

The folks' ain't home...but someone's there. Please...please, tell me that whoever it is walks in on Chirs's shower and he screams like a girl

I'm still reading, just haven't commented in a while. I'm not feeling very motivated to be on the ASMB lately, so I have been posting selectively.

Good job on everything so far. It's interesting to watch your style transforming for the better with each panel. Are there any places you're drawing inspiration from?

[DangerHikky]

Hmm, with like, locations and stuff?

Various places in Toronto and well, right now a little town outside of Hamilton.

Google maps has been kind of helpful in that I can get a good view of the streets and see what kind of places I think would fit the kind of settings and that.

(Actually part of the reason I took my weekend excursion to Toronto aside from going to celebrate Scott Pilgrim was to take some photos for reference of places. I saw a ton of great locations I'll probably end up using.)

And thanks for the compliment, by the way. :3

I kind of like where the art's going too... from the first page to the more recent pages there's a good deal of improvement and style changes, I think... for the better.

Thanks for reading!

(Also, loving the song quoted in your sig. Fleet Foxes<3)

[Delta_Eko_Foxtrot]

Oh, I actually meant whether or not you were drawing inspiration from anime/comics, but the Toronto commentary provides just as much insight! I'm assuming Scott Pilgrim might give you some inklings here and there? (Like Dan? Even though you said he was a coincidence. )

And, I'm giving you kudos for recognizing my song lyric. Fleet Foxes is just like... awesome. *gasms*

[DocWorth]

I get inspiration from lots of stuff.... Scott Pilgrim just happens to be really big right now...

Toronto's a nice city and I've always liked going there so I'm familiar with it, plus I used to live kind of like, right near it so when I was trying to think of a city to place it in, it ended up there.  I figured going with someplace I'm familiar with rather than going with someplace like Chicago or Boston or NYC (which has been done to death and I don't really know as well) which I'm not as familiar with would be harder and possibly more awkward 'cos it's like... well, sort of like when Americans write manga/stories/etc. that take place in Tokyo.

(Anyway, SP taking place in Toronto and its Canadian-ness is one of the many reasons I love it)

Speaking of again,  I really hope you guys don't compare Wallace and Dan too much. >_<

It's kind of like comparing Eureka to Rei.

FFFF, Oh wait.

I mean, at this point it's kind of hard to tell where the character is gonna go so it's easy to see why people (Proof. >:|) could think I totally blatantly ripped him off. But I promise, he's more than a snarky gay friend. Promise.

Inspiration from stuff... well, I've been reading some webcomics like hinabn and string theory and johnny wander which helpme sort of figure out what looks good with paneling/text bubble placement and that since I'm still kind of learning. So there'sprobably some inspiration from there? Oh, style wise hinabn is a prety hueg influence.

And I think I'm done rambling now. Heh.

I totally forgot I was on my alt.

[Delta_Eko_Foxtrot]

You are strange... somehow you're responding to me, but it's not showing up on my tracker that my messages have been replied to. Stop doing illegal things, Hikky.

In all seriousness, you should probs submit this comic to [as] when it's all done (which will probably be a couple years, but I'd love to see your work animated and voiced and stuff - there's so much potential and you could be the animator). Okay, but seriously, I should stop overwhelming you with ridiculous suggestions and just admire and appreciate what you're doing now. haha

Toronto seems like such a nice place. I've never been, but I've always wanted to. It seems like such an underrated place to visit. Canada in general seems like a beautiful country all around.

[DocWorth]

Canada's like America with Tim Hortons everywhere and more pronounced vowels. True story.

(The bits in southern Ontario anyway. )

Pfff You flatter me so much.

If I were on my main/alt, I'd go find a .gif of that "WE ARE NOT WORTHY" thing from Wayne's World. >.>

I'm just really glad you're enjoying it.

[Delta_Eko_Foxtrot]

Tim Horton? Should I know who this is/will I kick myself when I realize who it is?

I wish I had a friend in real life who appreciated my happiness for them as much you do. This thread and Babbling are the extent of my social life, basically, and people I physically interact with are just indifferent, annoying, or mean. haha

If I'm ever in Toronto, I'll be sure to ask people if they know "Hikky." I'll probs end up in the direction of a pimp.

[spring]

lol here i thougth id have a couple of pages to read but only like 1 well yay!

anyways i wonder who that person is in his parents house! =OOO i hope its not a burgler or something!

maybe its his sister? maybe she came by to visit.

cant wait to find out! ~

and lol i like the clouds they dun look like toystory clouds ^_^ you draw outsides gewd and i like the layout of his parents house <3

oh and dont worry ill never compar your chars to others especially since i have NO idea what in the world scott pilgrim is about. except its like a movie thats based off the webcomic and[as] shows its shorts but i only saw one short i didnt rly get it.

[DangerHikky]

A new page!

In stunning black and white!

As I said in the comments there, gonna colour this when I stop being so tired.

(Which I've just hit my second wind and a couple glasses of coke should help with that)

but right now here's the lines to satisfy.

I figure you guys are used to reading black and white comics anyway, so hopefully the less than 24 hours of black and white won't kill yas.

[PenguinBoss]

I'd prefer black and white, especially if that helped the chapters come out faster.

[DangerHikky]

That makes two people so far.

>.> If there's enough people who prefer black and white, I'll probably switch to that.

I'll finish off this chapter in colour at the very least though.

[spring]

ooooh i got to asee it in color but gewd thing you included the B&W page too i was curious lol. i like it either way well i guess i like it in color just cuz i like pretty colors but either way works i think.

anywhoo haha guess chris finally realized that hes quite the mess but im sure a shower rly relaxed him! and ohmy! who is that peeping tom! =OOOO i wanna know! suspensful!

[alikatt_25]

atm i can't view the black and white page, keep getting "problem loading page", but i did prefer the black and white version for 'Common decency and what'. not sure how to put why i liked that better... i guess cause it looks clean, neat and the images somehow pop out at me more without the color(which is kinda odd, i'd think color would make them pop more lol).  i certainly don't dislike the color pages, they look great. but if i absolutely had to choose between them i would pick b&w. 

[stewie_castro]

Wow Hikki, your drawing abilities are definitely continuing to impress.

I gotta say the interaction in the car were really fur to read.

yeah, after spend a week barely moving he probably would stink likely hell.

Keep up the good work

[DangerHikky]

Aww shucks, thanks!

I'm glad you're having fun reading it.

In the next few pages things are gonna get a little bit... weird.

[Poke_Nirvash]

Deep psychological bullsh*t weird, or crazy psychedelic mindf*ck weird?

[DangerHikky]

Probably closer to the latter if I can pull it off right.
