Well! As you may have noticed, Grumpy Tree got a redesign this week. She turned out to be a pretty popular character, and to be honest, I didn’t really like how I handled her design in the first place. I wanted to play with it in Photoshop, but I think in the end, she looks much better in a Flash style anyway. This comic is referenceing the Sum Druid R 4 Scratch comic where she first appeared. You can see the style difference pretty easily! I wanted her to have the same look as the drawing I did a few weeks ago, Fuzzy Tank. I really like how Grumpy Tree came out, and I’m definitly going to keep her this way. Grumpy Tree will be making appearances every so often, but probably not ever with Vas or Fyre, she’s kind of her own entity!
I wanted to take some time this week and do some shout outs to some other comics that are out there! Its been a while since I’ve done so, and I kept meaning to! Anyway, excuses I know. First of all, if you haven’t visited WoW, eh?, NPC, or Looking for Group, then you really should check them out. Still going strong, and still all good! But I wanted to add a couple new ones to the mix this week! First off, Coffin Comics I like the cartoony style on this one, its a style all his own, and its perfect for the style of comics he does. Girls Don’t Play Games is an amazingly detailed and colorful comic about the misadventures of a girl gamer. I love that her barettes change all the time depending on the theme of the comic. Beautifly drawn, I could stare at it for hours! And lastly, one I’ve visited quite a bit, but never really said anything about Complex Actions. Warning, this is an ALLIANCE comic (bleh! ~_^), but its really well drawn. I’ve watched it for a while now and I can’t help but wonder where they find the time to put THAT much detail into every strip!
Well, its finally here! The Calgary Expo starts tomorrow! I think I’m ready. Still really nervous about it though. Theres just a couple more loose ends to deal with today, and then I’m as ready as I’ll ever be. My first con, its exciting! Vas is waiting in the Airport in Houston to come up here right now, and I’ll be picking him up in a few short hours. I do have a few things to sell at the con, including the first 26 Daily Quest Comics in actual print form! I also have some High Quality Prints for sale!
Haven’t quite settled on prices of things yet, but I’ll flesh those out tonight when Vas gets here. Also, these will be available for sale on the site after the Comic Expo is over, for those of you who can’t make it but are still interested! I’ll be taking pics at the con, and hopefully writing a con report (or maybe I’ll get Vas to do it!), and if you’re interested, I’ll be tweeting all day, so make sure to follow @fyreuni! Anyway, still got a ton to do, so I’ll say goodbye here! See you all after the con! : )
I don’t usually do this, but i love the new look of Grumpy Tree.
Keep making great comics!
YAY FOR GRUMPY TREE!!!
Hey, it’s a tree-form vanity head gear!
TF2 Hats for WoW?
BAH Bad enter key submitted rather then going to next line >.<
Where can I find more of your pretty art? All that I find here is your comic but I clearly see you have MORE then just that! Got an online gallery somewhere that’s hidden/not linked somewhere?! I wana see more pretty works!
PS. My feral druid is finally holding freaking agro! YAY!
Well, if you click the “art” tag in the Categories section on the right, it lists all the posts where I post art, other than that, I have a portfolio site at http://www.fyreuni.com
You have talent for drawing the absolutely most /adorable/ little animal creatures ever. Forgive me if I don’t notice whatever makeover you did for the grumpy tree, since I’m just staring at that cute little gwiffon.
Woah. I really want some of your pretty art :D
Loving the Unicorn-ness of your Portfolio site :)
Ehahaha. Can’t imagine what a baby frostwyrm would do to that tree. :P
That’s a thought. Do a baby frostwyrm next time. I dare you. :D
Fyreuni! What comic booth will you be at? ill have to drop a line!
I’m at the Artists alley, E23 (that is, if I get that booth. Someone decided to set up in that spot when we went to set up! They are so moving when they get in tomorrow!)
Bleh! I’m sorry Fyreuni, I can’t make it to Calgary comic expo to many RL issues >.< if you can, take some pics and post them someplace! I wanna see what its like! *mutters about missing a car and cant take a cab 2hrs to calgary.*
Funny thing is I was just thinking of Grumpy Tree last night as I browsed the new Blizzard concept art gallery and saw http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/community/conceptart/
Though the only line going through my head was from Futurama. “He’s TOO GRUMPY! TOO GRUMPY! *runs away in panic*”
sorry the direct link to the art is http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/community/conceptart/#102 . :P
I just wanted to drop a quick line to tell ya how much I enjoy the comic. I actually found my way over here from woweh.com when you did your guest strip there. I’ve kinda been hooked ever since… It only adds to my -immense- list of webcomics I follow lol. Also, that gryphon pet is FAR TOO CUTE to be allowed. Keep up the awesome work :D
Hee, that was cute :>
And ooh, stuff in print form! How exciting :D
Another great comic! I’m totally a fan the Grumpy Tree Adventures! >D I uh… just hope he doesn’t get a Lil KT… that couldn’t end well…
And thank you so much for the kind words! It made my day! I’ve been addicted to your comic ever since I saw it on the comic contest. I always have to stay up till midnight when Friday rolls around to see if there’s an update! <3!!!!
I love it.
I wonder what’ll happen if he tries to play with the Perky Pug…
Nothing good can arise from that scenario. The pug will get wrathed in the face…
Maybe I’m just fantasizing. I’ve never liked the pug all that much.
Ah cute. I like the look of Grumpy Tree now. Funny, I feel like sometimes when my cat decides to use me as a “mobile perch” (sitting on my shoulder as I move around the house). At least I don’t have to worry about sticks in my hair…
you should check Heroes of Azeroth , its a (was) german comic strip about WoW . if you like Teh Gladiators and Ding! (R.I.P) you would LOVE this one . :)
http://a.wow.com/2005/12/09/heroes-of-wow-comic-strip/
oh, im sorry , its called Shakes and Fidget .
It’s nice to see the grumpy tree again. And she’s made a new friend!
I hope you’re not inferring that there’s something wrong with Alliance peoples. I have no such preconceptions about you uncivilized Hordies at all. I love and respect all the inhabitants of Azeroth, even if they are green or resemble walking steaks.
For those of you looking for other comics to be a fan of, Commissioned has always had a little piece of my love. It’s D&D, not WoW, but if you’re a gamer then you owe it to yourself to at least check it out. http://www.commissionedcomic.com
ps: Good luck in Calgary!
Id hate to see the after math of that griffin…
haha grumpy tree so cute love that :) druids ftw <3
i remember a grummpy tree ah good times
Greetings! It was great to meet you both at the Con, and the Murloc sketch….well, I’d like to know how you knew Murlocs are my favorite mob. They just die so…dramatically. Anyways, I eagerly await the sketch, and I hope it was a good weekend for you both. =D
Hooray for the Grumpy tree.
Kurlar!
You’re back!
I can’t help but notice that grumpy tree isn’t showing up in “The Characters” section. Hope you add that one day.
I absolutely will! I have a lot of things to add to the site in the next couple of weeks, that being one of them! : )
IMHO I like more the other one it really looks like a grumpy tree this looks to cute to be grumpy and I also think the last dialogue was not necesary
I like your comics a lot =D
That gryphon is so cute! I’m still waiting on mine to arrive.
Grumpy Tree FTW! But how would she handle the Core Hound Pup? :D
Hmmmmmmmmmm
I can just see it. Grumpy tree catching fire moment core hound gets near.
That would happen with the Phoenix Hatchling too lol; But omg the gryphon looks so happy ^.^
would be so funny to see the phoenix hatchling over the corehound :)
