Voice Over (00:10):
Let’s make a comic book, but let’s make it a little bit different. Instead of one person or a team making the whole book, we’re gonna have every panel made by a different cartoonist. We are gonna do one page per episode. So the number of guests is the number of panels on the page. So now you’re probably wondering, what’s this comic book gonna be about? Well, lemme tell you. It’s gonna be about a robot. This robot whose name is blank. What happens next? Nobody knows, but it’s gonna be fun finding out.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (00:50):
Oh, sorry. My bad. Hello. That up, <laugh>.

Edmund Kearsley (01:01):
It works everybody. Welcome back to let’s make a comic book where, where you make a comic book. We are a different artist for every single panel. And we’ve got Shannon Browning with us tonight. Hello Shannon.

Shannon Browning (01:15):
Hi guys.

Edmund Kearsley (01:16):
And we’ve got ya Hoffman as well. Joining us. Ya. Hi. How you doing? Very good. So what we’re gonna do first is ’cause we’ve got five pages done already. Gonna put me on full.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:36):
Yep.

Edmund Kearsley (01:44):
Oh, I’m still waiting for that logo to spin around and introduce Ed <laugh>. Just hold on a second. I had this all set up before we started <laugh>

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:55):
<laugh>.

Edmund Kearsley (01:56):
All right, so this is the first page. This is drawn by me. And we’ll have a look at the, the text. Get rid of these guys. So it says, greetings fellow sentient beings. If you have a spare time unit, I’d like to tell you a story, a story about a little robot with a big case of robo amnesia. this little robot couldn’t remember where it was from or what mission, what its mission was. Don’t think a member was its name. Hello. I am blank. So listen up as we find out what happened to the little robot with the big case of robo amnesia. And there’s blank there, a robot named blank. Then we get to the second episode where we’ve got deshawn Silver and Peter Wilson. The De Deshaun has just had the eyeball that we had on the last page is coming in. It’s popped arms out of its body, its eye, it’s coming in. And it said some nasty words. And Peter Wilson has had a blank looking up. He doesn’t know what’s going on yet. Then page three, blue and French initiates the, the, the battle with the the flapping and the flapping

(03:36)
<laugh> of the eyeball coming in. And then Alex Major

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (03:42):
Has

Edmund Kearsley (03:42):
Put a little twist in it and he is, had the eyeball and blank. Had a little love moment. It is such soft, smooth metal and blank saying T ou. And then Peter Lawson switched it up again, where we’ve got the the big nice pulled out and it’s like that. And the, the romance is over just as quickly as it started

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (04:09):
<laugh>.

Edmund Kearsley (04:11):
Then we got Ken Best is come in with the, the eyeball thingy is putting a scratch down his face. Blank saying, lucky my metal is Muta Mu Tanium. Then Nick Cleary has used the, the bone that he’s been holding is stabbed the, the eyeball monster. And the eggs flown out. Then Tom to has made this panel where the eggs flow out and there’s a tentacle eyeball monster inside the egg. And then last week, Chris <inaudible> is blanks lamenting the death of his friend, I suppose. Now it’s like, no, why did it have to end this way? Then there’s the baby in the background. Neil Blandon had Blanko go completely crazy for a second, but the tentacles come up behind him. And then Brenton McKenna has come in with the, the baby is growing up in seats. It’s a big, there’s his head and back and shoulders here. Looks like the eyeballs peeling back like a like a face hugger kind of thing. Like an alien egg. And it’s attacked blank. Or it might be just be giving him a cuddle. We don’t know yet.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (05:41):
<laugh>,

Edmund Kearsley (05:43):
What we’re gonna do now that we’ve got caught up on what’s happening is we’re gonna have Shannon go first. You’re gonna pick one of these two eighties toys. ’cause I read this the other day, new Transformers comic book that I quite enjoyed it.

Shannon Browning (06:06):
I read that it wasn’t bad.

Edmund Kearsley (06:08):
I busted out some

Shannon Browning (06:10):
Oh, nice.

Edmund Kearsley (06:11):
Some transformers for you guys due to pick one. Who’s the, the auto bumps or the Decept? Trons <laugh>.

Shannon Browning (06:18):
Oh, I’m always gonna go with Optimus Prime.

Edmund Kearsley (06:20):
Optimus Prime is number two. So you’re gonna go second. And now we’re gonna pick a panel from the hand of choosing <laugh>.

Jana Hoffmann (06:33):
And

Edmund Kearsley (06:34):
I show you which panels there. There you go. And go to this. So we’ve got one, two, and three to choose from. And then the other, if you wanna pick one, two, or three from the hand of choosing.

Jana Hoffmann (06:52):
Ooh, I have to go with two.

Edmund Kearsley (06:57):
Two is the number one <laugh>. So it’s the, the triangle one. And you can put me back to, so it’s that one. There you go. It works here. Excellent. So Yana, you’re going first. You gonna carry on from, you can see on the screen from Brendan’s panel with the, there’s a lot going on

Jana Hoffmann (07:27):
There Sure is. Wow. yeah. My gosh. all right. How much do you, you could do,

Edmund Kearsley (07:39):
Hey,

Jana Hoffmann (07:41):
I was just gonna ask how much you need me to narrate what I’m, I don’t usually narrate myself when I’m working <laugh>.

Edmund Kearsley (07:48):
You could, you could just you could just keep you just draw for now and we’ll have a chat with Shannon or we get some ideas down and then we’ll check back in with you in a, a couple of minutes.

Jana Hoffmann (08:01):
Yep. Alright.

Edmund Kearsley (08:08):
So Shannon, you read the, the new Daniel Warren Johnson Transformers?

Shannon Browning (08:13):
I did, yeah. I didn’t mind it. It’s it’s got a very 80 eighties cartoon vibe to, it looks like he’s taking a heavy reference from that. some of the characters he killed off in the first issue were kind of surprising. I try not to spoil anything for anybody. but yeah, no, I thought it was, I thought it was good. I thought it was a good start. I was really enjoying the previous Transformers story that they were doing, which a lot of it was taking place on Cybertron all the stuff that actually led up to the war. and I thought that all of that stuff was really, really great. You know, very complicated. so it’s nice to see them back on earth again and interacting with humans again. it’s nice seeing the wit wikis back.

Edmund Kearsley (09:07):
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>

Shannon Browning (09:08):
Actually made that re relationship a little bit more complicated. yeah, I think it’s gonna be a good book. I’m looking forward to it.

Edmund Kearsley (09:17):
It says almost like a reboot of the, the cartoon. Like a, an updating

Shannon Browning (09:23):
Yeah, exactly. Of

Edmund Kearsley (09:24):
The eighties cartoon. There’s a lot of good action too. I like Daniel Warren Johnson’s artwork and writing.

Shannon Browning (09:34):
Yeah. Sorry, I’m just turning around. I swapped screens since I’m, I’m not drawing, I’m talking at the moment.

Shannon Browning (09:40):
<laugh>.

Shannon Browning (09:43):
Yeah. what other, what other books you’ve been reading at the moment that they’ve been capturing your attention?

Edmund Kearsley (09:51):
I got the, for new books, I got the Raphael Grandpa Batman as well.

Shannon Browning (09:56):
Which one’s that?

Edmund Kearsley (09:58):
Yeah. Gle Gle and Gotham or something. GLE of Gotham.

Shannon Browning (10:03):
Oh, okay. No, I haven’t read that one yet.

Edmund Kearsley (10:06):
Yeah, it’s, it’s he’s a really good artist too, and he’s writing the book and it’s a, it’s a, an actual detective story, which I haven’t seen in Batman for a while. I haven’t read much Batman for a long time, but, mm. Good to see him getting into the, the, the detective side of the Dark Night Detective.

Shannon Browning (10:31):
And there’s a, I was sorry to interrupt.

Edmund Kearsley (10:34):
That’s all right. You go.

Shannon Browning (10:35):
I was watching what was it, animated film, the Doom that came to Gotham.

Edmund Kearsley (10:42):
Oh, yeah.

Shannon Browning (10:43):
which is on Netflix at the moment. that’s really good. That’s really, really well made. basically Batman going up against HP Lovecraft. Oh, cool. mythos and stories. and like a lot of the characters that you recognise are in it, but they’re not the way you recognise them. And it’s very, very heavy in the the HP lab craft and the Chis Lou and the older gods and all that sort of thing. Mythology. and the anime, the animation is great. It’s really well made. I really enjoyed it.

Edmund Kearsley (11:23):
Excellent. I I saw that on the Netflix front page the other day. I didn’t get around to watching it yet, but I definitely gotta check it out. They cartoons are always good. The, the superhero, the, the DC cartoons. Yeah. They do good cartoons, but bad live action movies, it seems,

Shannon Browning (11:42):
I was about to say, it is like, you know, the, the animation’s as good as the movies are bad.

Edmund Kearsley (11:50):
I had, had they ’cause they had all the set up from the, the Batman and Justice League cartoons from the nineties. Yeah. The two thousands. So they, they had all the, the production teams and stuff so they could go into the feature length movies.

Shannon Browning (12:06):
Yeah. Quite easily. Although I will say there’s some of them, especially in the like the extended animated universe. ’cause there’s a whole bunch of stories that are all interconnected. it started with, I think it started with Flashpoint oh yeah, they did an animated version of that. and then they started animating some of the new 52 stories. So the the first Justice League one was based on the Jim Lee drawn story from way back in <laugh> when we first got the new 52. Sorry, my cat’s just been a bit whiny. <laugh> <laugh> yeah. And then they did a lot of the Batman stories especially with Damien Wayne. they did the Court of Owls. They did a few Teen Titan stories. They did the Judas contract that famous one by George Perez back in the day. they did a two part the death of Superman, which was also part of the universe which also was really good. they finally, they finally did, I’ll get, I’m on the Superman show tomorrow night, siz. So if you’re like, wanna ask me about the deaths of Superman there, I’ll go into that in detail.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (13:25):
Awesome. <laugh>. But

Shannon Browning (13:27):
Every time they just quickly, every time they they do a death of Superman adaption, they adapt the fight with Doomsday, which is the most boring part. But this one, they actually adapted the, what happened with the reign of Superman and what happens afterwards, which was the more interesting story. and then that all led to, what was it? Justice League Dark, the dark side war. which was bleak as hell. Good God. Everybody dies in that

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (14:00):
<laugh>

Shannon Browning (14:01):
And just brutally as well, you know? Oh, wow. So, yeah, I sort of,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (14:07):
I need get this list off you Shannon, by the way. What’s that? This is a great list. I need to get this list off you after the show.

Shannon Browning (14:13):
Oh, yeah. Have a look online. The d like the DC animate. It’s because and I’m thrilled. IFI found, I finally found the last one for my collection. I was missing one. it was annoying me. but yeah, you have so like, all, so many of these great classic stories that they they adapted and they animated, but they also contained it all in a, in a continuous universe. and it’s so annoying that they couldn’t do that in the live action stuff. <laugh>, you know, you know, <laugh>, it’s like literally like, we don’t know how to make a, create like a continuous cinematic universe. Yes, you do. You’re doing it over there. Go talk to them. <laugh>. Don’t, don’t get me started on Zach Snyder. I hate him. But anyway.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (15:05):
Cool. Well, we’ve got some comments. I’ll interrupt. Dave Di says, Goodday all Adam. Hey, Dave. Gillespie says Hello. Hello.

Jana Hoffmann (15:13):
Hey,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (15:13):
Adam. <laugh>. Oh yeah. And Nick complained at the beginning. Thank you, Nick. more drawing, less waiting.

Jana Hoffmann (15:21):
Thanks Nick.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (15:24):
Thanks for that technical

Shannon Browning (15:27):
Difficulties.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (15:28):
And then, and then Alex goes, don’t listen to Nick. More waiting, less drawing. Okay. I don’t know about that <laugh>. and last time I’m blank. I think Tom was referring to your rundown and what had happened. seeing the Superman chair reminds me, I’m not the only one excited for tomorrow. That’s Alex. And again, oh, Alex has throwing a few comments here. So we’ve got, is Shannon’s cat gonna make a camera appearance asking for a friend? Oh, no. <laugh>,

Shannon Browning (15:57):
No, no, no, no, no. She, she’s not a pick me up cat at all. She just like, oh,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (16:02):
Yeah, yeah. Doug’s the same. Doug’s the

Shannon Browning (16:03):
Same complains, and then runs away.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (16:06):
Mm-Hmm. now he’s asking to stir you up about Zach Snyder. So I don’t think we’ll go there. <laugh>. Thanks Alex.

Jana Hoffmann (16:20):
Am I able to get up the last page for reference? Because Brendan McKenna’s artwork was like insane and Yeah. <laugh>. Yep. <laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (16:37):
I can send that through you. Oh, have I got it?

Shannon Browning (16:40):
Yeah. I’m fully expecting you to draw me into a corner here. So

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (16:45):
<laugh>,

Jana Hoffmann (16:45):
Sorry. You can just

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (16:46):
Make

Jana Hoffmann (16:47):
Stuff up too. I’m, I’m introducing hints of a new, new character. ’cause there’s not Oh, nice characters. I noticed in your this this wonderful picture that there’s like a dragon hanging out.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (17:08):
Yes. Oh, yeah.

Jana Hoffmann (17:09):
Dragons are my favourite. So, whilst I’m not completely, although maybe I could just, Hmm. Sorry. All right. I’m doing, I’m giving two options and then you guys get to choose.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (17:25):
Oh, can we bring, that’s new

Jana Hoffmann (17:27):
What I decide to go with Kia’s screen and have

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (17:30):
A look at Yeah, let’s it now.

Jana Hoffmann (17:35):
So, so this is part one that cool. Oh, this is option one. or what it could be is like fullblown raw dragon, like, see me claws coming in, kind of, it’s, it’s sure is squishy in here, but like, yeah. Ima imagine in, in both cases the dragon is swooping in. So do we want just the dragon in its glory or do we want dragon toes and, and Oh no, <laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (18:30):
I know what I’m voting for, but I’ll see what Ed says.

Edmund Kearsley (18:33):
I kinda like the first one. That one.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (18:37):
Oh, okay. It looks like we’re gonna fight

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (18:39):
<laugh>.

Jana Hoffmann (18:42):
I mean, we can put it in the chat.

Edmund Kearsley (18:43):
Oh, yes. Use MAs. Yeah. We, we’ve never had the, the chat.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (18:50):
Yeah, vote one or two chat.

Jana Hoffmann (18:53):
I mean, I definitely got less time into the second option. So just bear that in mind. <laugh>,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (19:00):
You don’t have to finish.

Edmund Kearsley (19:02):
Yeah, you don’t have to finish the panel tonight, but you do have to get Shannon enough information so he could start drawing his one.

Jana Hoffmann (19:10):
Yeah, that’s fair. That’s definitely fair. <laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (19:13):
Okay. Alex just wants us to fight. So

Edmund Kearsley (19:16):
<laugh>, he’s never helpful. <laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (19:23):
and Nick is also voting for a fight. <laugh> <laugh>. Very helpful guys. Very helpful.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (19:30):
<laugh>.

Edmund Kearsley (19:31):
Oh, maybe it’s up to Shannon to be the tiebreaker.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (19:37):
Oh, we’ve gotta vote <laugh>.

Edmund Kearsley (19:39):
Oh

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (19:39):
No, we, we got Dave Dye. He’s gone. Number two.

Edmund Kearsley (19:42):
Number two, go. Number two, number the

Jana Hoffmann (19:44):
Dragon.

Edmund Kearsley (19:45):
Yeah,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (19:45):
That’s the dragon then, then Shannon can do anything he wants with the dragon and the other two.

Jana Hoffmann (19:52):
Yep.

Edmund Kearsley (19:53):
There you go. Excellent.

Jana Hoffmann (19:56):
Now I have to put some anatomy on this vague shape. All right. <laugh>. <laugh>. Yeah. Yeah. What have I done to myself?

Edmund Kearsley (20:08):
What have you done to me? <laugh>.

Jana Hoffmann (20:09):
Sorry, <laugh>.

Edmund Kearsley (20:18):
It is a good idea for a panel. ’cause I’ve, I got at least three or four ideas of what the dragon could be doing in the next panel, so,

Jana Hoffmann (20:27):
Oh, sweet.

Edmund Kearsley (20:28):
Oh, please share, sir. I’m not allowed to

Jana Hoffmann (20:31):
Oh,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (20:32):
Against rules.

Edmund Kearsley (20:33):
Yeah. I’d just be yelling at stuff all the time. <laugh>, <laugh> influence. You guys do it like this. Damnit <laugh>. Give him a ninja sword.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (20:46):
We the crowd trying influence. You got, you got Alex again, being very useful. <laugh> and wanting, wanting the robot to lean in and kiss the dragon.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (20:56):
<laugh>.

Shannon Browning (20:58):
Tell him to keep his fetishes to himself.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (21:00):
At least he’s consistent.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (21:03):
He is.

Jana Hoffmann (21:07):
I am gonna have to somehow try and Alex jam this dragon into the triangle. That is, that is yeah, I’m gonna have to get there somehow. We’ll see. <laugh> ed is the watcher. Do not interfere. Just watch. Mm.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (21:29):
Yeah, hang on.

Shannon Browning (21:33):
Just having a bit of trouble setting up my

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (21:35):
Page. There we go.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (21:44):
I go on your stupid computer. So what

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (21:45):
Else is good?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (21:48):
And I’m just giving Shannon a bit of help. You got the Dragon and these guys, I just sent you the pictures so you can see it a bit bigger.

Shannon Browning (21:59):
Thank you.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (22:04):
Oh, dragon looks cool. Yeah. So Yana, what’s your favourite DC cartoon?

Jana Hoffmann (22:22):
I mean, I’m going to have to say Batman because I think I’ve only seen Batman from

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (22:30):
DC <laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (22:32):
Would you be your favourite then, <laugh>?

Jana Hoffmann (22:34):
oh. So, I mean, if we’re talking like based on comics I, growing up, like well before I read any superhero comics, I watched the X-Men cartoons and like remembered the Phoenix Saga, and that was amazing. blew my mind. and then as I was, when I was a teenager, I watched oh shoot, what was it called? It was the X-Men Teenage, like X-Men Evolution, I think it was. Yes. and I had a crush on Night Crawler as you do. Yeah, I, I Who does it? That’s really cute.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (23:17):
So

Shannon Browning (23:17):
You just heard that rumour about him

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (23:21):
<laugh>?

Jana Hoffmann (23:22):
Well, so he, fun fact, there’s a new like ish comic night crawler comic, or X-Men comic with Night Crawl on the cover. And he, the way he’s drawn looks a lot like my partner Ross <laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (23:40):
It’s all coming together.

Jana Hoffmann (23:42):
It’s so, so that’s yep. So but if you, if you search hard on the internet, you might find some really dorky like fan art slash like drawings of Teenage Me and Night Crawler in X-Men outfits,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (24:07):
<laugh>. Awesome.

Jana Hoffmann (24:09):
And so that’s assuming that the sites that I put it up still exist. the Pro, the most likely candidate was like, I don’t, does anyone remember Elwood and the Fan Art Off Offshoot? No. Yeah,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (24:24):
No,

Jana Hoffmann (24:26):
I’m an old internet lady <laugh>. yeah, that was definitely early two thousands. It was around. and yeah, so Elford was like a science fiction and fantasy specific art website. So kinda like DV and art, but very specific to like fantasy and Sci-Fi. and I think they had so many people wanting to do fan art that they made a fan art like only site offshoot so that they could put the art there instead of on their highbrow fan fantasy sci-Fi website instead. so, so yeah. And I think that did shut down at some point because it was some poor guy in like Finland paying for all the server costs. And this was obviously back when they were, server costs were quite expensive <laugh>, so Yeah. back in the days, the same days as Neo Pets, if anyone remembers then either

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (25:36):
Vague, do you remember them? Yeah, I

Jana Hoffmann (25:38):
Remember their name. Yep. I think it still exists

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (25:42):
Really

Jana Hoffmann (25:43):
Somehow. Yes, somehow it absolutely still exists. I haven’t looked at it for a little while, but yeah, it’s like how it exists is kind of amazing to me.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (25:58):
Yeah.

Jana Hoffmann (25:58):
but that’s I made plenty of fan of my little pets at the time as well, so, <laugh>

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (26:06):
Sweet.

Jana Hoffmann (26:10):
I think I need to focus, so

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (26:16):
Stop back to Shannon <laugh>.

Shannon Browning (26:20):
Yes. Because I seem, I seem to hate talking so much,

Jana Hoffmann (26:24):
<laugh>. You’re welcome. You’re welcome to keep watching, but I, I need to stop talking or I’m not gonna get anything done. <affirmative>

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (26:34):
All good.

Shannon Browning (26:35):
Still waiting from like, Marvel at some point said that they were going to do an a continuation of the X-Men cartoon. and still waiting for that to show up.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (26:47):
It’s,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (26:47):
Yeah, I heard

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (26:48):
That. So perfect material for it.

Shannon Browning (26:54):
I say I personal opinion, I think that the X-Men work a lot better when they’re separated from the rest of the Marvel universe. This has always been a personal opinion of mine, but it doesn’t make any sense for the public to love Spider-Man and Captain America, but hate Cyclops and Wolverine just because they got their powers differently.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (27:22):
Mm-Hmm. Yeah.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (27:23):
Makes sense actually.

Shannon Browning (27:24):
Yeah. So I mean, I think like the best thing that hap could have happened to both the MCU and the X-Men movies was the fact that one was being done by one company and another was being done by the other company. ’cause it kept them separate. So anytime you saw someone with superpowers, you knew they were an X-Men or, or a mutant, so you knew to Yeah, throw rocks at them and hate them. but <laugh>, but you know, like now that everything’s been put together, you know that they’re going to introduce the X-Men into the MCU eventually. I still say they shouldn’t do it, but I also have <laugh>, my girlfriend and I, we spent like three hours one night just sitting around coming up with the storyline of how the X-Men should show up in the MCU you. which I’ll tell you all about right now. No, I won’t do that. <laugh>

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (28:22):
<laugh>.

Shannon Browning (28:24):
but yeah, it was, it’s one of those horrible things, and I think a lot of people get this as well, is like when they start coming up with stories or sequels or how they want something to appear and then they see what the company actually did. You always get a little bit disappointed they didn’t use your idea

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (28:44):
<laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (28:46):
That’s a good point.

Shannon Browning (28:47):
Yeah. <laugh>, or maybe that’s just me. I’m just a weirdo that spends too much time thinking about this.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (28:52):
<laugh> <laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (28:53):
We’ve got a year Gday mates from Rob Lyle or Spie Heyday.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (28:58):
Rob. Hey Rob.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (29:08):
Sorry, just typing here. of course Alex has thrown in a few comments, but I don’t know how useful they are. <laugh>, he’s <laugh>. He, he’s he was kind of hoping to turn this into an eighties style sex comedy but doesn’t seem to be going that way. then he is like he wants Ed to hum the X-Men tune for some reason. And then focus is overrated. Janna, he wants to hear more about your comic opinion <laugh>. So, so as always, thank you. Thank you. Alex.

Edmund Kearsley (29:45):
Let me have a go at

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (29:55):
Nice. It’s actually my ringtone, but I think if I set it off we’ll get like a mark against us for copyright.

Shannon Browning (30:07):
That’s not <inaudible>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (30:09):
Not that I’m an X-Men fan or anything.

Shannon Browning (30:12):
No, not at all.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (30:13):
Not at all. Not at all.

Shannon Browning (30:14):
What’s your favourite X-Men?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (30:17):
Magneto. I can say that quite quickly.

Shannon Browning (30:20):
And you did

Edmund Kearsley (30:22):
Mine’s.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (30:25):
Oh, I wonder who yours is, ed, going by that picture in <laugh> here was mine when I was younger, I will admit. And then I shifted over to Gambit for some reason. I look back now and don’t understand that makes sense. He was smooth into ladies. I think he was cool at the time. He was very cool at the time, I think because I look at him now and current comics and he’s like kind of not cool. And yeah, then Magneto just something about him just became my favourite as I got older.

Shannon Browning (31:02):
I’m gonna say something that’s gonna make you guys baulk. I always kind of hated the X-Men.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (31:08):
Oh, <laugh>.

Shannon Browning (31:10):
I know, I’m sorry. Controversial, but I, yeah.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (31:12):
Yeah. Well,

Shannon Browning (31:14):
I got into comics in the nineties like in a big way in the nineties. But you’d go to, you go to your, every, to your average comic story in the nineties and you look at the DC shells and here’s all these different characters and you know, aligning the shells and stuff like that. And then you’d look at the Marvel section. And Marvel had one shelf of Spider-Man, four shelves of X-Men <laugh>, and then one shelf of everything else.

Edmund Kearsley (31:45):
Mm-Hmm.

Shannon Browning (31:45):
<affirmative>. And I tried picking up a book or two just to try stuff out and see what it was, but it was so convoluted and over the top and just, I couldn’t get into it. And I just, I, I just got so sick of hearing about X-Men, especially if you read Wizard Magazine, like those <crosstalk>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (32:05):
Yeah, I agree. Totally. I agree. Totally. Oh, oh, technical, technical issue. Oh, got him. Oops. Sorry.

Shannon Browning (32:14):
<laugh>. Did I disappear? Like Shannon doesn’t like Xmen. We want him off our show.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (32:21):
<laugh> Total accident. Sorry about that. I totally accidentally hit the remove from the screen button. Totally.

Shannon Browning (32:30):
Yeah, totally, totally terrible Bad timing as well. <laugh>

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (32:37):
All this, all this hate for X-Men. I don’t know <laugh>. No. All good, all good.

Shannon Browning (32:42):
Yeah. The movies did change my mind though.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (32:46):
<laugh>. Oh,

Shannon Browning (32:47):
Nice. First we did. Yeah.

Jana Hoffmann (32:48):
Yeah. Actually I am a pretty, pretty terrible fan. ’cause I think I think I did get flying a, a comic that was related to that e evolution TV show. but I didn’t really like it very much ’cause the style was quite, was kind of different from the actual show. oh, yes. And I like the, the show style. so yeah, I actually haven’t read too many actual X-Men comics, funnily enough. back at around that time, I well growing up I was really into like fantasy novels. and so when I discovered my local comic shop, I was like, I wanna start from the start. And that’s really, really hard with Zero Comics,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (33:43):
<laugh>.

Jana Hoffmann (33:44):
so, but what I did find was Michael Turner’s Aspen, which the Aspen Comics had just sort of been released around that time. so I could start from the start. and they were kind of fantasy ish, sci-fi fantasy. There was fairies, there was magic, but also, yeah. so he was, his artwork was a really big influence on teenage me. I really, really loved those comics at the time, so

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (34:20):
Cool. Yeah. I picked that one up. So

Shannon Browning (34:23):
Insanely talented. It’s, it’s

Edmund Kearsley (34:28):
Full disclosure, I didn’t like the X-Men in high school either. <laugh>, because in my year there was a couple of, like about

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (34:36):
Over and over that reject button,

Edmund Kearsley (34:38):
There’s like comic book kids in my year and there was like two kids that like Superman and three or four that like the X-Men and I like the, the Justice League international comic.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (34:54):
Oh, cool. And so,

Edmund Kearsley (34:55):
Because you know, it’s high school, so Yeah. If you like something you can’t like something else. So <laugh>, it had to be anti X-Men until they changed the, the Justice League one in issue 60 in like 92 I think it was. That’s when I started getting into all the image and different types of stuff.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (35:21):
Nice.

Edmund Kearsley (35:23):
But I always liked Wolverine though, so that’s a fun fact.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (35:31):
Yep. Because then you turn that story around. No more hovering over, never read a X-Men comic. Really? I was hovering over that Remove button <laugh>.

Jana Hoffmann (35:49):
I mean Evolution. Evolution was a com X-Men comic and I read it, so Oh,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (35:54):
Okay, cool.

Jana Hoffmann (35:56):
But I don’t, I don’t know how how many diehard X-Men fans would consider that top tier X-Men material <laugh>. It, it was definitely like, this is spinoff of the TV show kind of. Oh yeah. Stuff. Yeah.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (36:16):
Alternate universe. It’s all good. They’re all welcome. Yeah. Yeah. X-Men loves their alternate universes.

Jana Hoffmann (36:22):
All, all the X-Men characters were in high school, so it was all plenty of high school drama, you know, that sort of,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (36:30):
Alright, cool.

Edmund Kearsley (36:32):
Let’s have a look at Shannon’s thing. He started drawing.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (36:36):
Yep. Let’s see if this works. We haven’t tried this before. Oh yes. Good.

Shannon Browning (36:42):
So this is the part I usually hide from people

Edmund Kearsley (36:45):
There. <laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (36:45):
Yeah. <laugh>

Shannon Browning (36:48):
With a lot of work and a lot of like final touches. It looks like I can draw.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (36:53):
It looks like you can draw right now.

Shannon Browning (36:55):

Edmund Kearsley (36:57):
<laugh>,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (37:01):
If it makes you feel better, I will be on the show soon so you can watch what actual not drawing looks like.

Shannon Browning (37:08):
I like your stuff mate.

Edmund Kearsley (37:10):
Mm. Did you drew a blanket on the weekend?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (37:14):
Yeah, I did. I drew blank as a bit of practise. Put his thumb on the wrong side of his hand. All good. <laugh>,

Shannon Browning (37:21):
We’ve all done that

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (37:23):
<laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (37:25):
It seemed right. That seemed wrong. That seemed right. Again, I wasn’t sure if I should change it until I finally sat there and actually held my hand in front of me and turned around and compared it and went, ah, damn, I’ve got it wrong. Mm-Hmm.

Edmund Kearsley (37:37):
<affirmative>.

Shannon Browning (37:39):
That’s right. At some point you’ll do something and you’ll be really happy with it and then you’ll be looking at it and go, did I give that guy six fingers?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (37:47):
<laugh>

Jana Hoffmann (37:48):
Definitely done that.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (37:56):
Oh, Doug’s trying to get in on the show.

Edmund Kearsley (37:59):
Hey Doug

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (38:01):
In meowing in the background. I don’t know if you guys can hear him.

Shannon Browning (38:04):
Oh, is that what that was?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (38:06):
Well squawking hear, I call it sk because it doesn’t sound like meowing to me. I dunno what that noises. He makes

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (38:13):
<laugh>.

Edmund Kearsley (38:16):
He was drawing Doug before too.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (38:20):
Pretty sure he is a cat.

Shannon Browning (38:27):
Actually, I was quite happy with my, my representation of Doug when I did the, your crossover books, sis.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (38:33):
Oh yeah. That awesome. Have I got one handy?

Edmund Kearsley (38:37):
I do, I think,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (38:39):
Yeah, I do have one handy.

Shannon Browning (38:41):
Mine’s over on the shelf over there, but it’s all wrapped up

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (38:44):
In place. I’ve got one of the naughty ones. The

Edmund Kearsley (38:46):
Naughty ones?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (38:47):
Yeah. The extra copies in case I wrote the numbers wrong. <laugh>. So there’s no numbers on these ones.

Edmund Kearsley (38:56):
It’s that comic book. Is that still available on the shop?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (39:01):
Yeah, there’s just a few of them left actually.

Edmund Kearsley (39:04):
So

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (39:07):
Of the numbered ones we won’t talk about the naughty ones.

Edmund Kearsley (39:11):
Everyone watching should go get one if you don’t have one. Yep.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (39:15):
We just had someone buy seven of them.

Edmund Kearsley (39:18):
Oh,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (39:18):
Cool. So that was pretty cool. And then straight after that, someone bought three. So that was pretty cool. So there’s not an awful lot. There’s there’s decent amount left. Like I

Shannon Browning (39:27):
Think it was the same guy. He hates the odd numbers.

Edmund Kearsley (39:30):
<laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (39:32):
<laugh>.

Edmund Kearsley (39:33):
There’s Shannon’s page is awesome. It’s got the robot. Oh, I

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (39:37):
Just grabbed it up. Hang on.

Shannon Browning (39:43):
Yeah, I threw a whole bunch of my old characters in there. So Robo tunes in there. my villains Dr. Retro and Hench are on the left there. one of the Westie Samurai fighting fish is on the right <laugh> and flying in the background is one of the cyborg vampire women from space.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (40:05):
That is awesome. I didn’t notice her before.

Shannon Browning (40:15):
Yeah. I’m not a big fan of white space.

Edmund Kearsley (40:16):
Oh yeah.

Shannon Browning (40:19):
Just like there’s a gap. I can put something else in here.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (40:25):
I love white spaceless drawing

Jana Hoffmann (40:28):
<laugh>. So I just went to look up a bit of reference image and I was like sweeping bird. Yeah, that’ll do. that’ll probably come up with something useful. It’s all mag pies. They’re just all, it’s all mags are the only ones that sweep apparently. <laugh>

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (40:45):
<laugh> sounds about right the best. that’s a classic. Okay, we’ve got a hello from Peter Lang. Hello people. Hello.

Edmund Kearsley (41:03):
Hello Peter.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (41:04):
And we’ve been flooded by Alex again.

Edmund Kearsley (41:09):
What’s he up to?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (41:10):
He’s saying that the X-Men conversation reminds him of a drink and draw where one, no one is really a fan of the topic in hand. <laugh>, we’ve had a few of those. he was happy to finally see Sizzle on his iPad. He approves of Doug having some screen time. I don’t know if that’s gonna happen. Are the stories that bought multiple one are the, are the stores that bought multiple ones? Maybe they want to sh wanna shout out now. It wasn’t stores, it was people. Alex people bought multiple ones. They weren’t stores and he reckons he’s been swooped by other birds. Not just mag pies.

Jana Hoffmann (41:54):
Yeah, there’s, there’s like one falcon in here and then the rest are mag pies. <laugh>. <laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (42:02):
I’ve been swooped by those little birds with the yellow beak and they’re sort of greyish, not butcher birds. mini miners. Is that what they’re called? Minus miners?

Edmund Kearsley (42:15):
Oh yeah. Minor bad. I’ll speak

Jana Hoffmann (42:16):
With noisy miners. Yeah. Yeah. I think I, yeah, qui me

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (42:20):
Cut my face. Oh, like blood.

Jana Hoffmann (42:24):
Oh my God. Yeah. No, I’ve only had a

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (42:26):
I was like, what the hell just happened? <laugh>, I got too close to its nest, I think.

Jana Hoffmann (42:32):
Oh yeah, because I’ve only had like a warning swoop from one of them. It was very far away. I was like, oh, okay.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (42:38):
<laugh>. Yeah, he got me with his wing. I think

Jana Hoffmann (42:41):
So rude.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (42:43):
Mm-Hmm.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (42:44):
Or her wing. Can’t assume.

Jana Hoffmann (42:47):
Well, if it was a nest then probably a she.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (42:50):
Yeah. So I think I saw a nest in the branches that I was walking past. But yeah, it was a bit of a shock when I got home and I realised it was bleeding. What have I done? All my screen is weird. Oh, there we go.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (43:10):
<laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (43:12):
we also got a comment that I forgot to show in there. Robbie Kiley. all songs have a tuneless like Benders whistling in Futurama needs to be more noise, less song

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (43:27):
<laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (43:29):
I think that was your reference to your singing. The X-Men tune.

Edmund Kearsley (43:34):
Yeah. Because Bender has a, a song that he whistles that goes like that, that I just did. ’cause they, they had to, they wanted him to whistle, but they didn’t wanna like pay for a song. So John Diaggio just had to make up a thing.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (43:51):
<laugh>

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (43:58):
Have that all day Now.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (44:03):
I like this. You so you are is is it just me or are you totally ignoring the dragon?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (44:15):
Me, me?

Jana Hoffmann (44:16):
No,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (44:17):
No, no, no, no. Shannon. Sorry.

Jana Hoffmann (44:19):
Ah, I, I’m

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (44:20):
Doing the, I’m doing the reaction shot to the dragon.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (44:23):
Oh, nice. So then the next person has to actually Oh great. I bet you that’s gonna be me. <laugh>

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (44:28):
<laugh>. Yeah. Somebody else can draw the big

Shannon Browning (44:30):
Great big fancy dragon. I’m, I’m, I’m good. I’m just doing ah,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (44:34):
<laugh>.

Edmund Kearsley (44:36):
It’s, yeah, it’s the beauty of sequential art.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (44:41):
Oh, Doug’s going cray.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (44:47):
Oh is he?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (44:48):
Yep. He just gave a huge meow next to me and then ran.

Edmund Kearsley (44:52):
<laugh>

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (44:54):
Wants be

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (44:54):
On the show. He wants to be on the show. Let me honour. I’ll kill you all.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (45:00):
No he doesn’t.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (45:02):
He’s like this

Edmund Kearsley (45:05):
But could do a, a pet draw, a comic book. Everyone’s <laugh> pet straw. Well,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (45:11):
Doug has tried to type messages to people <laugh>. So that’s a, that’s a start. Some, someone sent me a question mark once and I looked up and Doug had typed all these things with his tail. At least I hope it was his tail. <laugh>, maybe I should clean the keyboard. Now they think about it.

Edmund Kearsley (45:34):
Their cats love to sit on keyboards.

Shannon Browning (45:38):
They say that they do that because they’re mimicking us.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (45:43):
Oh.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (45:43):
Oh, okay.

Edmund Kearsley (45:45):
I always thought it’s ’cause that’s what you’re paying attention to and they want it to be

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (45:50):
And they

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (45:51):
Pay attention to.

Shannon Browning (45:52):
That’s quite possibly it as well.

Edmund Kearsley (45:55):
And open laptops too. ’cause they’re, I I always assume it’s ’cause they’re warm as well. I

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (46:02):
Well this is a laptop so there you go. He was sitting on the warm laptop and typing shit to people. <laugh>

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (46:09):
<laugh>.

Shannon Browning (46:09):
As long as he doesn’t start ordering stuff off eBay.

Edmund Kearsley (46:12):
<laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (46:14):
I need to check my history. How more carefully now that you mention that

Edmund Kearsley (46:19):
I to arrive and

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (46:23):
Get all the cool stuff arriving. I’m like Yeah, it was Doug. Yeah, that’s it. Doug ordered it.

Shannon Browning (46:30):
Yeah. $1,500 Lego set arrives. It was Doug <laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (46:34):
Yeah, it was Doug. I don’t know how he typed my credit card number, but he did it. Oh what? That it was your

Shannon Browning (46:42):
Really favour because he did the two step verification as well. So just, I don’t dunno how he did that. <laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (46:50):
Now if I’m really lucky Doug will type in Kerry’s credit card. <laugh> <laugh>.

Edmund Kearsley (47:01):
<laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (47:03):
Kerry says he only knows mine. How Well there you go.

Shannon Browning (47:07):
Well Kerry Smart, she taught him yours.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (47:20):
Ah,

Shannon Browning (47:21):
This guy’s very similar to robo tune and design.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (47:24):
Really? I’ve gotta get the comic back out now.

Edmund Kearsley (47:31):
But the robot bunny guy,

Shannon Browning (47:32):
That’s the one That’s my beloved bunny.

Edmund Kearsley (47:38):
Oh yeah, yeah. There’s some, some shakes. I can’t see it.

Shannon Browning (47:49):
You can’t see the page, you can’t see the design.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (47:51):
No, I can’t see the page. <laugh>

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (47:53):
<laugh>

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (47:57):
Opposite the semi naked lady. Nice.

Shannon Browning (48:01):
Where I like to be.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (48:06):
Hi, I I see now. Yeah.

Shannon Browning (48:08):
My apologies to any female viewers

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (48:13):
And me. I just

Shannon Browning (48:13):
In general, I dunno what I did, but I’d just like to apologise to women. ’cause I feel like I’ve always done something.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (48:25):
And for those watching, enjoying this awesome drawing by Shannon Tune in Saturday to watch me not draw. So awesomely <laugh>. And there’ll be no blue lines. ’cause I’m still trying to figure out layers.

Shannon Browning (48:43):
Oh, layers are your best friend.

Edmund Kearsley (48:45):
Mm,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (48:46):
That’s what I was told last Saturday.

Shannon Browning (48:48):
Mm.

Edmund Kearsley (48:49):
There’s

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (48:50):
Layers and they’ve drawn one

Edmund Kearsley (48:53):
<laugh>.

Jana Hoffmann (48:54):
I dunno how many have you noticed? How many? Like, I start and then I’m like, oh nah, turn that off. Start a new one. Like I do that so much. especially right now, like when I’m struggling I’m like, no, I hate this. No, I hate this <laugh>.

Edmund Kearsley (49:11):
I hate inking on the pencil layer. And then finishing a drawing and then going back and trying to like rub out all, that’s

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (49:20):
What last week was all about.

Shannon Browning (49:22):
I think that’s what I did on the first drink and draw.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (49:25):
Oh

Shannon Browning (49:27):
Fun. I clicked on the damn pencil layer. So just had to like, go in and try and erase all the pencil lines without erasing the ink <laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (49:34):
Oh, that would be good.

Edmund Kearsley (49:35):
It’s

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (49:36):
Good fun. Not fun.

Shannon Browning (49:38):
It wasn’t,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (49:41):
Yeah, I, I went to erase the pencil layer and then realised the ink layer was on the same layer and that the other layers were all blank.

Edmund Kearsley (49:50):
That’s the way to

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (49:51):
Do it. I made the layers at least. So that’s a start, isn’t it?

Edmund Kearsley (50:01):
There is a button to turn the, the pencil layers into, into Blue Line as well.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (50:08):
Really?

Edmund Kearsley (50:09):
Yeah.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (50:11):
See I gotta learn all these things. I get tips from people. I’m, I’m using

Edmund Kearsley (50:15):
See that

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (50:16):
Click again? Clip Studio paint.

Jana Hoffmann (50:19):
Yeah, it’s yeah,

Edmund Kearsley (50:23):
It’s in Layer Property.

Jana Hoffmann (50:25):
Yep.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (50:26):
Oh, okay.

Jana Hoffmann (50:27):
And it doesn’t have to be blue either. You can make it, you know, whatever you need. Oh yeah. Because sometimes if I’ve got two people or that I’m, that are interacting in some way, I’ll like make one person one colour and one person in another colour. And then that when I’m inking in particular, that really helps help me out. Who’s who? Yeah.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (50:50):
Doug is very excited about this episode.

Shannon Browning (50:53):
I got a new computer recently. I haven’t got Clip Studio set up properly, so I’m just doing it in Photoshop.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (50:59):
Alright, well you’re doing a fine job. My my fine friend.

Shannon Browning (51:07):
Thank you very much Mr. Siz. Very high worries. Indeed.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (51:15):
I don’t have Photoshop, so that won’t be happening.

Shannon Browning (51:18):
<laugh>. Yeah, it cost a bomb.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (51:21):
Yeah, I saw those. Well, I still wanna get it because I wanna play around with the video ones.

Shannon Browning (51:29):
Yeah. Well my girlfriend

Jana Hoffmann (51:30):
Get, I’ve, I’ve been using a programme called Da Vinci Resolve for video. okay. And it’s like a professional level programme. But the free tier is like fantastic. Like it’s only like if you, if you are like, there’s, it’s like free or $500, but the free tier is like more than enough for anybody who’s not trying to get into like film and video, like production or whatever. Oh wow. But they do u they do use that for like colour grading and like cinema, like proper formal cinematic stuff. And there’s heaps of YouTube tutorial. So if anyone want like, wants a really good programme to check out that I, I definitely recommend it. So

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (52:22):
Write that down.

Jana Hoffmann (52:24):
Yeah. DaVinci Resolve.

Shannon Browning (52:27):
Yeah, it’s really good. I use that when I’m doing colour correcting.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (52:30):
DaVinci, resolve listening. Love a sponsor. <laugh> <laugh>. I am not that we’re doing video <laugh>, but you can sponsor us anyway.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (52:53):
<laugh>, take a look at, yeah. Yeah.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (52:59):
Just taking a look at yours.

Jana Hoffmann (53:01):
Oh, I keep re starting again because Oh,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (53:05):
No, <laugh>.

Jana Hoffmann (53:06):
Yeah, so I’ll, I’ll go through. He’s, he, I’ll give you a run through of all my, so that’s the first one. And we’ve got this guy and I was like, oh, his neck is just a bit close to his torso. oh. And then I messed around with like, different wings, so then I was like, oh, I’ll move his head away. This is, this is what I mean, the layers. You can go back. <laugh>. I’m like, I’m, I’m still not crazy about this. all right, I’ll go again. So and I’m like, yeah, now look up some reference. And so, you know, just that one I found a really cool bird shot, so, oh yeah. I’m just really struggling with the with the, the triangle basically <laugh> and it’s my own fault ’cause I’m the one who picked it from the magic hand. So

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (53:57):
<laugh> if this one doesn’t work out, I’m going back to this guy. ’cause I think he is probably the best of the lot so far. But I’m, yeah. I’m just not convinced that I’ve solved this issue. Perspective, man is hard. It

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (54:19):
Is. You can do it. And we’ve got Alex in again.

Jana Hoffmann (54:31):
<laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (54:32):
oh no, just two comments. I just realised all these other ones I’ve already read out. Okay. Layers rank as my third best friend. I rank Ed hire. That’s very nice of Alex. Good on you. It’s all true. You’ve already been on the show. You don’t need to suck up, but, okay. <laugh> and then Shelan. Tell us more about your new computers at pc. Mac or Comor? <laugh>.

Jana Hoffmann (54:56):
<laugh>.

Shannon Browning (55:00):
I dunno what I did with my Commodore. It it disappeared a long time ago, <laugh>, but yes, it is a pc. I used to have Macs and then my Mac died in a very spectacular fashion. And I couldn’t afford to get a Mac that could do the stuff I needed to do. ’cause I do a lot of video work and

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (55:22):
Ah, yep.

Shannon Browning (55:23):
VFX and for video and that sort of thing. So I swapped over to pc. I gotta say I’m not loving it, but I’m getting used to it. And I know there’s a lot of PC people who are out there who now hate me.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (55:38):
<laugh>, ah, it’s all good. I’m neither I’ve, but I try to use Mac and I get really lost because I try to use it like a PC

Shannon Browning (55:47):
<laugh>. That’s probably why I’m struggling. I’m trying to use a PC like a Mac.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (55:52):
Yeah, exactly.

Shannon Browning (55:53):
I’ve been using Max since 1993, so. Wow. You know, that’ll do it. Little ingrained.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (56:01):
Yeah. I get very lost on Max. I, my, my mates who all programmers tell me that Max is the way to go, but I just, nah, I get lost and I get frustrated and I don’t wanna go through that few weeks of hell trying to learn it. I don’t care how much better it is and how much it’ll be. Years of betterness, <laugh>. I’m not going through those few weeks. God dammit.

Shannon Browning (56:26):
No damn years old. I’m stubborn. It’s

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (56:28):
So bad. I’m making up words like betterness,

Edmund Kearsley (56:31):
<laugh>

Shannon Browning (56:36):
And my vocabulary is so terrible. I thought that was a word.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (56:40):
No, I don’t think it is. I I guess I could Google it, but I’m pretty sure it’s not. No, but most of the words I say

Edmund Kearsley (56:48):
And it’s a word just not in English.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (56:51):
Yeah. <laugh>.

Shannon Browning (56:52):
I say siz. If you, if you’ve used it in a sentence, it’s now a word

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (57:01):
Sizzling. I can’t even say that. <laugh> s I’ll stop now. <laugh>

Shannon Browning (57:07):
Sizzle sells seashells by the seashore. <laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (57:12):
Yeah. I’m not trying that <laugh>. There is much rejoicing and laughing at me. Just trying to say social

Edmund Kearsley (57:27):
<laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (57:30):
Carrie thinks it’s hilarious. I can’t say that word.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (57:33):
I

Shannon Browning (57:35):
Oh, you know, when you draw a picture of someone, but sort of make fun of them at the same time. You know what that’s called?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (57:43):
No.

Shannon Browning (57:45):
Somebody say the word. ’cause I can’t <laugh> car

Jana Hoffmann (57:48):
Caricature.

Shannon Browning (57:50):
What’s that? Yana

Jana Hoffmann (57:51):
Caricature.

Shannon Browning (57:52):
Yeah. That I can’t say that for the life of me. I put like about 17 extra syllables in it.

Edmund Kearsley (57:57):
<laugh>,

Jana Hoffmann (57:59):
It’s, I I do.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (57:59):
Yeah. Just in case. I’m not gonna try <laugh>.

Edmund Kearsley (58:07):
Let’s take a look at Shannon’s handle.

Shannon Browning (58:11):
God, am I using the right layer? Yes. <laugh>. You had me paranoid there for a minute, ed.

Edmund Kearsley (58:18):
That’s what I’m here for. <laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (58:20):
He’s looking shocked.

Edmund Kearsley (58:22):
He’s looking good.

Shannon Browning (58:23):
Well, if you had a, like a th drawn dragon coming down on you, you’d be looking shocked as well.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (58:38):
Actually this was very what’s, I can’t even think of the word. well planned out but not planned out. Whatever. because the dragon has been drawn three times, there’s not a great reference on exactly what the dragon looks like. So that’s a good trip that you’ve done there, Shannon <laugh> by avoiding calling the Dragon <laugh>.

Jana Hoffmann (59:05):
And now I’m is

Shannon Browning (59:06):
Really smart.

Jana Hoffmann (59:08):
Now I’m zooming in quite close so that it’s really just like head and cause and hopefully the next person can make it what they need it to be. <laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (59:20):
Oh, nice.

Jana Hoffmann (59:22):
Because I’m giving up on my beautiful action, action shot. I, I can’t, I’m struggling to make it work in a way that I like <laugh> and we will just make it a big hedge up.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (59:46):
So is a cool, scary dragon or is we looking at a friendly dragon and blinks all blank? Not blink blanks all mixed up.

Jana Hoffmann (59:54):
Well, the thing I love about dragons is that they kind of always look a little bit menacing. So, but they could still be friendly. So it’s going to be sort of, you know, focused looking, I would say. Yeah. Could be a rescue could, who knows? Could be out for a meal. <laugh>

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:00:21):
<laugh>

Edmund Kearsley (01:00:23):
Meal of blank.

Jana Hoffmann (01:00:25):
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:00:26):
<laugh>

Shannon Browning (01:00:26):
Doesn’t want, he doesn’t wanna get a medal in his teeth.

Jana Hoffmann (01:00:29):
Yeah, the fancy metal that he’s made of.

Edmund Kearsley (01:00:31):
Oh yeah, he is made Tanium.

Shannon Browning (01:00:36):
Oh, that looks terrible.

Edmund Kearsley (01:00:38):
Says this isn’t the only comic show that’s on the airwaves

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:00:45):
Nowadays. No it’s not. If you want me to go through them. Yeah, tell us about actually if I’m gonna go through them, I might bring, bring up another screen that has them listed so that I remember them all correctly. ’cause there are too many now for me to remember. Like, you know, more than two. So <laugh>. Oh, great. Now my computer wants me to prove who I am. Thank you computer. Very nice of you. Good timing, great timing. Computer. I just gotta grab my phone and prove who I am.

Jana Hoffmann (01:01:30):
So your Mac wouldn’t do that? <laugh>, <laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:01:33):
The Mac would just know <laugh>. I think it’s a software actually it’s, it’s Google asking me to prove who I am so I can go into my calendar. Ah,

Jana Hoffmann (01:01:41):
Yes. Yeah, I lie max. So just anno annoying in just different ways.

Shannon Browning (01:01:48):
Oh, they’re all shit. You just get used to a certain left of like, level of shit. <laugh>.

Jana Hoffmann (01:01:52):
Yeah, it’s, it’s the pa it’s the pain you choose, you know? Yeah,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:01:58):
Yeah.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:01:59):
Well the next one I wanna get is a Mac because I want learn this ’cause I’ve been hassled by enough people now that I’m starting to believe it. <laugh>

Shannon Browning (01:02:09):
The indoctrination is working.

Edmund Kearsley (01:02:11):
<laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:02:13):
Okay, I’ll start from the beginning of the week. We have Chris <inaudible> does art stream on Monday afternoons, followed by Dave Dye, who also does an art stream, but traditional art rather than digital.

Interesting thing. and then we’ve got Chinwag, but that’s fortnightly now. So Chinwag was on last night, so I won’t be back for Fortnight. next fortnight is Aiden Roberts. I think that’s his last name. who won the gold ledger just recently. Oh, nice.

And comment. Yes. Oh, I’ve gotta add that to the video. My little really badly voiceover video.

Edmund Kearsley (01:06:37):
Hmm.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:06:38):
I think, I’m not sure, I think I might have offended the person who actually made the video.

Edmund Kearsley (01:06:43):
Oh no.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:06:45):
Because when I voiceover what they’d shown, they, they look so happy. Did you call me a witch? I dunno what you’re talking about. Nick

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:06:57):
<laugh>.

Shannon Browning (01:06:58):
Yes.

Edmund Kearsley (01:07:00):
I’m gonna say yes.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:07:23):
Oh, and of course Alex is putting there in the comments for me to read is see if I can do it. Shannon needs to say the word Charact. No, I can’t do it. <laugh>.

Shannon Browning (01:07:36):
He needs to, he’s not going to

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:07:39):
<laugh>.

Shannon Browning (01:07:41):
Hang on. character. No, I can’t character. I character cartoon

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:07:54):
<laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:07:57):
I’m with you on this one. Horrible word.

Shannon Browning (01:08:04):
Think like you can hear it pronounced perfectly inside your head. So you just go, oh, I just need to translate that out. His character <laugh> nailed it.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:08:15):
I have a very long list of words that do that to me.

Shannon Browning (01:08:26):
It’s the downside

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:08:27):
And that gets longer the more I drink <laugh>.

Shannon Browning (01:08:34):
So at least then you’ve got an excuse I don’t drink. I’m just like nuts as it is.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:08:39):
Yeah. Neither do I anymore. So I dunno what my excuse is anymore. <laugh>, I drank excessively so I could blame it on the alcohol. But <laugh>, I’ve got nothing. Now I’m just not able to pronounce words.

Shannon Browning (01:08:54):
Yeah. Yeah. I did everything I did just so if I ever get convicted of a crime, I complete insanity and my friends will back me up.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:09:02):
<laugh> <laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:09:07):
I have a doctor’s report and a tattoo. So I’m, I’m laughing. I can go the insanity plea anytime.

Shannon Browning (01:09:13):
Does the tattoo say if found, please return to this address.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:09:17):
No, the tattoo just says insane. Like a stamp.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:09:20):
<laugh> <laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:09:27):
Nick wants to know my list of words. I can’t pronounce. That’s not gonna happen. Nick <laugh>. Oh, okay. If you listen to the background, Kerry’s gonna go through the list. <laugh>, there might be a lot of giggling in amongst the words. <laugh>.

Edmund Kearsley (01:09:42):
We are also gonna need a list of your deepest fears as well. Not for

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:09:45):
Anything bad, deepest fears. Okay. So we can

Shannon Browning (01:09:49):
Numbers

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:09:50):
<laugh> hit me up. Sorry.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:09:53):

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:10:01):
<laugh>,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:10:06):
You have a little giggle together.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:10:10):
<laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:10:22):
It’s

Edmund Kearsley (01:10:22):
Usually about this time we get you guys to send in what you’ve drawn so far and then I put it together on the page so we can show everyone.

Jana Hoffmann (01:10:33):
Oh no, what’s going on? I keep trashing what I’ve done.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:10:37):
<laugh>,

Jana Hoffmann (01:10:40):
Now I, I think I’m gonna have to go this one.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:10:46):
Yeah, we’ll go have a look.

Jana Hoffmann (01:10:48):
<laugh>. I’m going back. I’m going back <laugh>. Because, because seriously there was that one. There was that one. Was it? Oh, empty layer. There we go. That one. And then I’ve got that one. I’m like, no, I am like, oh no, I’m gonna small. No, no, this crazy going That one, that one was the best so far. I, I need to do more animal studies is basically

Edmund Kearsley (01:11:17):
Yeah. Animals

Jana Hoffmann (01:11:17):
What I want to do. So, and you know, it would be, it would be more helpful if I’d picked a real animal that I could actually get reference for.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:11:32):

Jana Hoffmann (01:11:35):
All right, let me just quickly give him some. Oh, cool. I like, I like this guys now already actually, <laugh>. There you go. When I’m forced to actually commit to something.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:12:29):
Cool. So

Jana Hoffmann (01:12:31):
There we go.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:12:32):
When you are ready to send something, you can send it to me or add direct.

Jana Hoffmann (01:12:38):
All right. I mean, I’m definitely not done, but you did. Oh yeah.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:12:42):
So you

Jana Hoffmann (01:12:43):
Want, that’s cool. Yeah. You want something for now?

Edmund Kearsley (01:12:45):
Yeah,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:12:46):
Just to put it together? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Edmund Kearsley (01:12:50):
Just send it to,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:12:52):
Yeah, just send it to me and then I’ll forward it. it’s on Messenger will be fine.

Shannon Browning (01:12:56):
Oh, that’s even easier.

Jana Hoffmann (01:12:59):
as a what file? Do, like do you want the template off

Edmund Kearsley (01:13:05):
The just send the page as it is.

Jana Hoffmann (01:13:10):
Send this? Yes. All right.

Shannon Browning (01:13:12):
Okay. I took the template off.

Edmund Kearsley (01:13:15):
Oh, that. That’ll work good then.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:13:16):
Mm-Hmm, <affirmative>, where are you?

Shannon Browning (01:13:26):
Although I did leave it <crosstalk>

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:13:27):
Drawing. Not bad, but it’s this screen has got really weird contrast issues. I dunno how to fix it without stuffing up the other screen. I’m such a computer guy.

Jana Hoffmann (01:13:42):
<laugh>. All right.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:14:22):
Is that Clip Studio Yna?

Jana Hoffmann (01:14:25):
It is. Clip Studio. Yeah. I was gonna send you a as well. No, if, if you wanted <laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:14:33):
So what was that like? I just said, I’ll have to pick your brain at some stage to how to use it. I’ll be picking s I’ll pick yours. Anyone else who uses it, I’ll be picking their brains. I might even ask you some questions about Clip Studio.

Jana Hoffmann (01:14:48):
I can definitely recommend some. A YouTube channel too. He the oh sweet.

Jana Hoffmann (01:14:53):
That I basically learned it from because yeah, it was definitely hard moving from Photoshop to this, but I do not regret. probably the, the worst thing about it is lettering though. Like the lettering on clip Studio is, it’s pretty rubbish. although with the new version there has been some improvements, but like clearly they didn’t really care about English speakers at all. <laugh> initially. Ah. so like, it would, like in the, in version one, like, or which sounds like it’s ages ago, but version two only like, just came out like three months ago or two months ago. if the with a text box. Like it wouldn’t word wrap at the end of a word. It would word wrap at at the character. Oh, yeah. And like ligatures and other sort of font features that you get for in, like, they, they weren’t supported at all. it’s, yeah. The, a lot of the, the, the wording, like the names of things is kind of weirdly named. Like yeah, like what’s, what one of the examples. so there’s character spacing and condensed text. So you can condense with one setting and then, and then add space with a different setting. But the, the way they’re not the same like units of space.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:16:39):
It’s Oh

Jana Hoffmann (01:16:40):
Yeah. It’s really

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:16:42):
Sound bit confusing.

Jana Hoffmann (01:16:44):
It’s, yeah. It’s, it’s, it’s not great. So however, like the perspective ruler is just like, it’s, it’s so good. It’s so good. <laugh>. Oh,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:16:55):
<laugh>,

Jana Hoffmann (01:16:56):
Yeah. and the panels and stuff. And then I have the pro, pro X version, which is like where you get the page management for. So when you’re working with multiple files for a comic it’s really good. It’s really helpful. you can bulk export all the pages as you need to. and you can, there’s a text inserting tools, so you can like, insert all the, all the text into from like, say, say you have a script, you can add text to each page as a starting point from a single like view. it’s like the text stuff is almost good. It’s just like, ah, so <laugh> nice. Yeah. But like the, the pen and the drawing and stuff is great. So should I bring up

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:17:54):
This?

Jana Hoffmann (01:17:56):
Ah, what about

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:17:56):
You, <laugh>?

Jana Hoffmann (01:17:59):
Thank you. I’m gonna take my glove off ’cause

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:18:01):

Jana Hoffmann (01:18:22):
Janna and Janna Hoffman were taken. So Yana Yana was what I got.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:18:27):
Yeah. I’m lucky Shane Siddle is like available everywhere. <laugh> such a weird name. I haven’t, I was even fast enough on the internet that I’ve got a few of the SSLs and there was a lot of s sits in my family. Like a lot, like all my siblings, my father, a lot of my cousins. I don’t know if any uncles or aunties have got S’s. No, I don’t think they have actually. But then there’s a whole bunch of ’em over in England that have s’s, so Yeah, I got it first in your face.

Jana Hoffmann (01:19:03):
<laugh>. I get a lot of tags in other languages. I think it then Yana is a Czech name, so I think it’s Czech, maybe. I don’t know. I do not speak Czech. it’s not my background at all. so yeah, they, it’s just like, no, this, this isn’t me. This is, I, I don’t know who you’re trying to tag, but it’s not me <laugh> so Cool.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:19:30):
Well to be fair, I will now go Shannon’s

Jana Hoffmann (01:19:36):
Before you do move on. I’m gonna be super cheeky. ’cause I have a Kickstarter running at the moment for my new book. So

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:19:44):
Top left, that’s next.

Jana Hoffmann (01:19:46):
Woo-hoo. Oh right, sorry. Oh, <laugh>

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:19:49):
Tab. No, don’t be sorry. Don’t be sorry. It’s all good. I had that prepared. We were gonna do, I was gonna do that last

Shannon Browning (01:20:24):
How cool. Turned out well, I was really happy with it.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:20:27):
Yeah, it was awesome when I saw it and you put a link to where you could buy it. I’m like, hell yeah. Mm.

Shannon Browning (01:20:34):
It’s funny that I actually spent more money buying myself copies of the shirt than I actually made selling the shirt. So <laugh>

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:20:41):
Nice.

Jana Hoffmann (01:20:43):
I hear that’s what happens with selling T-shirts. Anyway, so

Shannon Browning (01:20:46):

Yeah. Good. That’s a beautiful, like Superman. The, the

Shannon Browning (01:20:55):
Symbol

Jana Hoffmann (01:20:55):

Jana Hoffmann (01:21:05):
The other way?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:21:06):
Oh, that, yeah.

Jana Hoffmann (01:21:07):
Yeah.

Shannon Browning (01:21:09):
I I totally didn’t do that. That, that’s not me.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:21:13):
No. All good. Okay. Now we

Jana Hoffmann (01:21:20):
It’s good curation.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:21:22):
Yeah.

Shannon Browning (01:21:22):
Oh, just, yeah, every year, like, like the anniversary of Action comics comes up and I just go a little bit nuts and posting Superman pictures. And if you, if you look directly like, pretty much underneath that you will see my Superman action figure collection just after we moved, before I put it back in the cabinet.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:21:41):
Ooh. Looks like, like Kerry’s Wonder Woman collection, to be honest.

Shannon Browning (01:21:45):
<laugh>. Yeah. Look at the photo. Yeah, look the one next to it that you were just pointing to.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:21:49):
Yeah. That’s nuts. All over the floor. That’s full on. That’s awesome. Ah, now we’re gonna go to Woo Kickstarter time. So it is to capture Calex, is that how you say that?

Jana Hoffmann (01:22:09):
Yeah, that’s cool. I kind of made the word up, so that’s how I’m pronouncing it, so

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:22:15):
Yeah. Awesome. I

Jana Hoffmann (01:22:17):
Love it. actually, actually the creatures based on, oh, I dropped my headphones. the, the Australian megafauna, the like marsupial Lion, which is like a giant kind of qual creature. and the Latin name was like Carnifex or something like that. And I was like, ah, that’s, I, I like, I’ll steal a bit of that for <laugh> for the, for the name. So nice. Yeah. Yeah. So I I, I made a drop there, but for my, for my villain, for my an antagonist <laugh>

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:22:57):
I just realised this, sorry didn’t me interrupt this thing down the left, is that new?

Jana Hoffmann (01:23:03):
It’s new. It’s brand new as of like two weeks ago, three weeks ago. Yeah. Very, very new.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:23:10):
Yeah. Something else I’ve gotta do.

Jana Hoffmann (01:23:12):
<laugh>. Yeah. So, and, but they, what they’ve done is I actually applied for a, a, a beta so that I could turn the, ’cause they’re links, you can click on them and they go take you to the different sections. Okay. and it’s a sticky side thing. Oh, that’s awesome. yeah. And so there’s a beta where you can get the, you can use the, you can set the, the link on the image and you set the old text for the image so that it fills up the sidebar and stuff like that. ’cause otherwise you had to have, it was using just headings, the, the large headings Ah, okay. To generate the, the story cyber. So

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:23:51):
That’s awesome. All these new features coming out. Not to go all Kickstarter geeky

Jana Hoffmann (01:23:58):
<laugh>. Cool. I like it. But holy moly, did I have to make a lot of images for this thing? Like compared to the lonely giant? Oh, sorry. but yeah, the campaign’s going super well. I’ve hit the perfect binding stretch goal, which was like, like, I mean, obviously I wanted to hit the goal that was really important. But my, my internal goal was to also get perfect binding. So because after the Paper Cuts festival, I had a chat with someone from the graphic organisation, the Australian Library Graphic novel organisation. And he was like, libraries will not stock staple bound comics because they’re not sturdy enough to survive the system. So if they have a glue, a perfect balanced spine, then they are more likely to be stocked. So, so yeah. Alright.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:24:55):
Good to

Jana Hoffmann (01:24:55):
Know. yeah, so yeah, fun facts which makes sense when you think about it. yeah, it does. so, so yeah. But now we’re, now I’m gonna do the next stretch call is spot UV gloss on the cover. So, which so

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:25:12):
Oh, stretch course.

Jana Hoffmann (01:25:13):
Yeah. So I’ve got more potential ones. Should things go well. So <laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:25:21):
Sweet. Let’s do it people.

Jana Hoffmann (01:25:24):
Thanks. So it’s a fantasy adventure. no dragons. I’m sorry. Otherwise this would’ve been much better. This would’ve been a lot better if I had spent 30 pages drawing dragons. I promise. so, so yeah. But yeah, you fill out, if you like, little fantasy action, adventure comic, then and it’s all one story. So self, self-contained, so it’s, you don’t have to wait for another issue or anything like that. So yeah. I hope everyone will check it out.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:26:02):
Sweet.

Jana Hoffmann (01:26:03):
<laugh>,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:26:04):
Take myself off. Oh, that’s not the scream we want. That’s still not the scream. We want

Jana Hoffmann (01:26:16):
<laugh>. <laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:26:19):
Okay. Ed’s got it. Yep. But the page is looking like, so far

Edmund Kearsley (01:26:27):
We have dragon,

Shannon Browning (01:26:33):
Good dragon.

Edmund Kearsley (01:26:35):
And then we have blanking. All sorts of bother.

Jana Hoffmann (01:26:39):

Jana Hoffmann (01:26:59):
Well, you’ve got to the inking stage. <laugh>

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:27:01):
<laugh>,

Shannon Browning (01:27:03):
Because I just drew it so simple. It’s just like, oh, we’ll do a closed up of blank.

Jana Hoffmann (01:27:08):
Yeah. My, my first thought was to do the do the blank and the eyeballs and everything, and then have a shadow, a dragon shadow, and then I’m like, oh, that, that’s probably So

Shannon Browning (01:27:21):
You, you were gonna dump the dragon on me.

Jana Hoffmann (01:27:24):
<laugh>. Yeah, basically <laugh>. But we voted. We voted,

Shannon Browning (01:27:29):
We did. It was, it was very different. democratic, apparently Democratic is another word that I can’t say. I keep telling people English is my second language. I just never developed a first

Jana Hoffmann (01:27:42):

Shannon Browning (01:28:04):

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:28:19):

Shannon Browning (01:28:21):
