Dreamlogue 1
Hi!
There’s been a gazillion reasons why I haven’t updated recently: I was distracted by a brand new PS3 console that came with a few cool games; I clean-installed Windows 7, losing a few important brush settings and fonts that I forgot to back up (I’m happy with the upgrade, though); I had a time-consuming side-gig proofreading some academic texts; I had an unusually heavy workload due to the holidays… and I just wanted to spend some quality time with my wife.
However, perhaps the real reason there were no new comics was that I got a heavy case of writer’s block. I had some ideas, but most of them were so ambitious that I instantly became discouraged, given how little free time I had and how much work they needed. But I wanted to update so badly!! So I said, screw it, just doodle small vignettes or dreams or whatnot, just so I don’t get too rusty.
And so I turned I dream I recently had into a comic.
Funnily enough, this was supposed to be a quick and dirty sketch-like piece, done in a day… but after the first draft I decided to redo most of it, then add some “special effects”, clean it up… so, yeah: this “quick and dirty” piece got kicked around for about 3 weeks. Sigh…
But I do intend to do smaller, “pointless” comics, as I shouldn’t stop drawing until a great idea comes along. So yeah don’t be too dissapointed, ok? I need the workout 🙂
Thank you for stopping by. Cheers!

I really love your comics. The feelings they evoke… especially this one. And then the alttext to make it all seem more amusing. 😛
I really like this one, though. It reminds of the feeling I get whenever I watch Kiwi!.
That’s awful nice of you to say, Anon. Thank you! Glad someone out there likes my weird thoughts.
Seaman was a weird game from the perspective on an outsider. I never really got to experience it during its prime, only while others discussed it, and due to how weird it was, it was in that inverse goldilocks zone where I never bothered to fish it up online to try it out.
If there’s an emulator with microphone support it would probably work better than with the original hardware, although the jankiness added to its charm. Legit I don’t think the ending would’ve been as moving had it been easier to deal with the cranky little guys.
I might actually fish up the PS2 version, and see how much I need to jury-rig in an emulator. If that fails, I can repair my PS3 finally and then hack it. (I *think* it is not niche enough that its missing a language patch for PS2, but I really don’t trust Dreamcast emulation…)
