I didn't know about the backlog, but what can I say, procrastination comes with the territory, LOL.

Better late than never I say!

I'll send you a link when I have it up.

Rick:)

Dude, congrats on your "on the lot" entry. I'm going to be sending mine next week. The film's been finished for a few months now, but I've been slacking on the 35-40 second intro. Figures.

Good Luck!!!

[ Posted by FableForge on Jan 19th, 2007 9:28 AM ]... I saw it man!! I re-read the show and tell story, and then the new one. I reaaally like your post-production (so to speak) effects. The dot-matrix for coloring, and other textures here and there. Awesome man, its a good visual package, keep it coming!

[ Posted by nekoandneko on Jan 10th, 2007 6:14 PM ]...

Marco!!!

Both episodes of "Illegal Aliens from URAZZ" are hysterically funny!
I love (and not in any particular order) the opening music credits, the animation, the script, the commentary on you You Tube culture. Well done...you are Hector are a dream team!

BTW I just updated my site and your HTML instructions worked like a charm. Thank you-Thank you-Thank you-Thank you-Thank you!!

Your fan,
Damian

Sorry, wasn't clear. Yes that one is still down but on my page here on comicspace, you can click the last link where I've mirrored the site on another server. Or just go to http://www.hallucinonia.com/donniegoth.html

Hey just wanted to let you know I have the links to the Donnie Goth website up on my page again, if you want to see the website as it was before my domain name issues.

Happy New Year (a little bit late)! Folks have been talking up Grittie in the Webcartoonists Choice Awards discussion. I went back and looked at the very first, non-animated one when someone provided a link to it. Are the other non-animated ones still around to read? To compare with the new ones? (If you've already mentioned that, I'll blame my fogginess on being up all night... work work work, never done.)

And well, I still all the files and could provide a link for comparison if they want one... oooh, this makes my day Clio!! P.S. I plan to nominate SPQR Blues for several categories, muahaha!

[ Posted by MrColinP on Jan 2nd, 2007 2:28 AM ]...

Hey! Thanks for the comments. I added the entire state of Florida the other day. There's a lot!
I just watched the first episode of your... Comic? Animated series? Slideshow? Elaborate screensaver? The fact that I can't define what you're doing is a great and exciting thing. I think in twenty years there will be a name for it, but right now the trails have not been stamped down enough to categorize stuff like this.
But just as important as that is the fact that you have a solid story to tell, and are taking your time revealing it in an interesting and intriguing way. That's the only way to hook people and I'm hooked! Can't wait to continue. I feel like if Guillermo del Toro saw this he'd start pre-production right away! So congrats and keep up the obviously hard work!

Your strip kind of reminds me of a friend of mines, but his is much wilder and rougher (i.e. incoherent and sloppy... in the best possible way!) Make sure you read the whole thing, some of the later pages have animation! But his storytelling style it like yours: Manic and original... and a little subconscious...

Check him out:
Cats and Icecream

[ Posted by FableForge on Jan 2nd, 2007 10:51 AM ]... Oh man, if I shook Del Toro's hand, I would never again wash... ever!! you picked my favorite director, and he's mexican like me! Anyway, I'm so glad you liked the video.... I... hmm.. I think the name is "still animation". No wait.. that's just silly. I'll just call it video :) Glad you like it all the same! If you survive the spaghetti plot till episode .. oh, 8 or 9, things clear up a bit and it becomes slightly more linear. For now :) I read the Cats and Icecream.. wow............... its a wild ride alright! And in gratefulness I shall now share my favorite webcomic ever: action figure graveyard Enjoy!! Really! I worship this comic :)

[ Posted by nickmarino on Dec 28th, 2006 12:46 PM ]...

thanks for checking out my art. i'm really liking your youtube video of your comic.

[ Posted by Samdegraff on Dec 26th, 2006 6:55 PM ]...

Thanks for the add. I dig your style. Crazy daddy-O. Interesting idea using youtube to showcase. hrmmm verry interesting... (possible plotting happening in infamous sub brain)

Hehe, well, once upon a time my comic was in traditional page form, now thing -is- a video, I've moved completely into that media.. for now :) But yeah.. I get a lot more feedback to my videos than I ever did to my traditional comics, so yeah... I guess it has advantages :)

[ Posted by Sarahtdl on Dec 26th, 2006 5:20 PM ]...

I plan to check it out as soon as my desktop at home is back up and running, and I'll let you know what I think. It sounds wonderful!

Thanks man! I watched a couple of your videos too. It gave me the chills. Great mix of voice, music, and art.

Very imaginative use of YouTube. It's exciting to see someone playing with the medium that way.

Thanks for the comment! Very kind of you to say. We will see about submitting to liberatedfilms. I watched your first film, The Undying Memories, and thought it was quite literally mesmerizing. Great job! I look forward to watching the rest of the episodes.

[ Posted by theawakened on Dec 12th, 2006 11:51 PM ]...

Wow. I just watched the first video, and I'm very intrigued. Actually gave me chills! This is really unique; well done! Must watch the rest. :D
And thank you for the sweet comment! I'm thrilled you like my work. :)

Aw thanks! I'm quite proud of our line up at Silent Devil. It's been an honor to work with all of them. =) Very nice to meet you. Digging the pink tie pic. =)

[ Posted by lunchtimecomics on Dec 11th, 2006 3:15 PM ]...

Hi. Thank you for your comments, I'm glad you enjoy the comic. Journey of a Ghost is great! wonderful artwork; nicely done.

[ Posted by wiz_rollins on Dec 11th, 2006 2:24 PM ]...

I wish I could take credit for all the laughs over at Yirmumah, but only the last six or seven strips are mine. Before that, it's all DJ (Yirmumah creator).

Thanks for reading!

[ Posted by elnjj on Dec 11th, 2006 1:43 PM ]...

Hey Marco! I'm here now and I've friended you. Thanks for bugging me to do so...looks like this is gonna be a good resource. :)

EDIT: Oh and Byron is waaaaaaaaaaay sexy. :p

[ Posted by DarkPhoenixStudio on Dec 10th, 2006 9:01 AM ]...

Hey Marco,
Thanks for the comments and that you-tube comics was hot! you are going to have to show me how you did it.

[ Posted by Christian on Dec 10th, 2006 7:59 AM ]...

Thanks for the extremely kind words over at my site. Very kind of you to say.

And let me comment, the idea of launching a comic at youtube is to my mind... fucking[i]inspired.

[ Posted by GingerDead on Dec 8th, 2006 7:53 PM ]...

hey good to see you here. you rock. are you uber famous yet?! if not, any day now. keep up the great work.

[ Posted by Looseville on Dec 8th, 2006 2:28 PM ]...

Of all the stuff I've seen on youtube, yours was probably the best. Brilliant. Well done!

Any friend of Hector is a friend of mine! I'm gonna sit down and watch yer videos later today.

[ Posted by BMB on Dec 7th, 2006 11:20 AM ]...

We have to stop meeting like this dude, lol, hello.

[ Posted by 10kd on Dec 6th, 2006 11:05 PM ]...

It's nice to see you here in this new wilderness. I suppose we're all supposed to start building cabins, planting crops, and creating a civilisation. Earlier today I discovered fire and almost invented the wheel, so that's a start.

I feel like we're on opposite ends of the spectrum--me with the pen and the ink and the pieces of paper, and you converting the comic into fully developed productions. I hope this new place to network will bring us both some new readers :)
