Promoting mayhem and general confusion since 2004

Out of Phase

Shane Smith Presents

ようこそ!

1/11/05– new page is up, decided to give her the whole thing.  I’ll just put the other panels that were supposed to go there into the next one ^_^.  Oh, and check out the new FORUM that I just added.   Not much there?  Well, that’s ‘cause you need to post something!

1/10/05– back to school!

1/8/05– The Japanese Word of the Day section now has a little How to Type in Japanese thingy!

1/7/05– Back from my snowboarding trip to Sunrise.  Ah, what wonderful snow there was!  I was like *swoosh, woosh, swish, swoosh!*  Anywho, page 7 is now up, so have a looksie.  Also, we now have a Snow Kitty sketch!  Story is updated too, of course

1/3/05– Can you say “a new page is up”?  Because I can!  Two of them!   I know, I can’t believe it either!

1/2/05– IMPORTANT:  My host server might be changing soon, but don’t worry.  If you bookmark  any of: www.outofphase.tk www.outofphase.cjb.net or www.outpfhase.hitart.com all of these will automatically put you at the correct site, no matter where I am.  If your pages are loading slowly, try a different one of those three, and you should see a noticeable difference.

If anyone has any advice for using the Master Page in Publisher…. Let me know.  It refuses to hide even when it says “not visible” AND THEN it decides not to be visible on ANY of the pages… you know, just because.  Well everything should be working now, sorry for the down time.  I’ve got plenty of storyboard worked out here, I just need to get working on the sketches.

12/31/04– Japanese word of the day is here!  Word!  (haha, sorry, had to say it)  Check it out, if you like, should provide some amusement, use them to add spice to your drawings or random conversations.  Notice the Webring links at the bottom?  Use them to take a look at other sites that might interest you.

MAJOR UPDATE in the how to draw area!  We now have a scanning tutorial, so you can get those wonderful drawings on to your hard drive and out to the world!

12/30/04– ok, I’ve cleaned up the backgrounds of a lot of my sketches so they don’t hurt your eyes.  Images are the same (well I did add a few), but background is now white instead of strange scanning errors and eraser shavings =P.  Page 4 is up now, so have a looksie!

12/27/04– an hour on the punching bag and then trying to draw don’t mix =( I’ll see if I can at least make the rough sketches for the next strip though.

12/26/04– Enjoy a drawing lesson at your leisure in the How to Draw section, now up and running.  And now with filtered htm encoding, we can all enjoy faster loading times for everything on the site!  (takes up less than 1/4 the space as before, amazing).

12/25/04– Merry Christmas and happy holidays, everyone =).  Enjoy the latest OP, complete with gratuitous panels and vague anime references for your enjoyment =P

Also, the sketchbook section is up now, so take a look at that ^_^

12/24/04– I think the pages are a good size now, and should show up well on most people’s monitors.  I’m going to try to get the drawings for page 3 done today, even if I don’t get everything all cleaned up and put together.

12/22/04-  Finally got the website up with the first two pages done.  For the duration of the comic, I’ll post some drawings and then some text when I’m finished, so it’s easier to catch up if you missed anything, and also because it makes things a bit clearer if anybody gets confused.  As an experiment, I’ll try to add audio when I get the chance ;)

The comic reads like-

1    2

3    4

5    6

Manga Progress:  Working on the sketches for page 9
