comic #193

Last night me and Matt drew this. I started at about 1:30 Am, finally(mostly) finished it at 5:30 am. not getting to sleep till 7Am. waking up at about 10Am to my phone buzzing. Matt didnt make any signs of life until shortly after 1pm.

So enjoy the fruits of sleeplessness(that a word?).

the "trip"

I wrote this on the actuall days. Poorly done but itl give you a vague Idea what I didnt get up to.

Day 1:Frig. I hate this place. Everything rattles, vibrates and clanks. Im surprised I haven’t been sea sick yet. The whole ship sways from side to side the whole time. I have stayed out of everyones way mostly, not wanting to start some awckward conversation like ~ “So, your coming on a trip with us?”… “It looks that way doesn’t it. No! Actually, wait, Im not staying, Im going to swim the whole way back when I get bored of this place.”
This is a real introduction I did by mistake ~ “so whats your name?”… “Izak.”… “well, im pleased to meet you.”………..”Good!”… I had conversationalists block.

Day 2: Slept marginally well. Waking every so often. No reception on phone. Sucks, since I don’t have anyone to bug but myself. Fell back into self pitying sleep after breakfast. Woke up0 and realized the enginges had stopped and we were in sight of land and dots of houses. JOY! Reception! When we got into port we go in for a walk around. Note: No matter where you go, theres always a pack of girls, and behind them is always two guys, doing their best to look cool and in control (which they aren’t)… Went to a spooky church place. It looks the sorta place you go to kill innocent ghouls attending AA meetings. Theres even the obligatory dead tree, piles of yellowy dry crackly ;eaves. The pews are the same butt numing ones you find at every church. But these ones have a twist. In the chair back rests are smoothed triangular things, poking out as sort of deviders between people. Most likely they have had problems with people getting cuddly during church (Didn’t stop the two people in they’re twenties in front of me). It also makes a pretty good wake up call for people falling asleep not paying attention to where they’re putting their shoulder blades . I did not experience either of these problems

Day 3: MISSING
Day4: MISSING




Now for the seriel:

The Mangled wreck pulled up to the dock side, squealing and dribbling a nice neat line of petrol behind it. It spurtered, wheezed, gasped, then finaly drew its last breath. Shame really.
Nick Jumped out, radiating cool as if nothing was wrong. Two people walked past, genuinely impressed by the car. They saw a nice newly waxed and polished car and a blond bomb shell sitting coulee in the passenger seat.
Ester was pale faced, her redish hair falling in disarray around her cheecks. She was splattered with blood, her sleeves were soaked. It had congealed and deep crimson, and had started to go crusty.
Nick looked at the people, they see what they want to see. As do all people. Ignoring the ugly details of life.
He flicked a piece of imaginary dust of his new suit and walked over to a man in a wheel chair. The man watched people walk by, staring at the boats pulling in and pulling out, ferrying people onto the outlying islands.

what happened to me

Or more to the point, how much my week sucked. Wow, thats a really original subject for a blog. Im gonna rant!Woot. and nobody will read it!
actually. I dont even wanna talk about it now. Screw ships.
But what I do wanna say is this, comics now updated mondays and fridays(and possibly inbetween). Ill probably still post most days but Im cutting back on the comics for the following reasons,
A: Its not about quantity, its about quality.
B: I really dont have much time anymore
C: .......I dont know....

but what you will see improved is,
A: better drawing in general.
B: more detail to backgrounds.
C: Typos and spelling mistakes corrected.
D: Possibley more colour (Even though I like the black and white approach, it just works so well.)
E: itl make more sense cause im not just beefing it out without thinking.
F: More time to make sure everything has continuety.
G: more brilliant plot twists and ideas (meaning I ask keir for more brilliant plot twists and ideas)
H: (wow I made it to 'h'!)

anyway. Still havent thought of a new name for the series. Izak*steve isnt really a good name for a comic, maybe a good name for a blog though.suggestions please......NOW.

comic #192

Pale faced, and swaying, the boy was lead down the corridor. The putrid smell of extra strong disinfectant and diesel oil permeated everything. The boy fell sideways, smacking his shoulder on the wall of the hallway. He was lead up some steep stairs, then out into a room which looked like it was the storage room of some studio or hall.
When ‘they’ weren’t looking he ducks between some boxes and a small side door, he opened it and ran out, not looking where he was going. He looked up, finding himself on a stage; blinding lights were shining on him. He squinted. Millions of faces stared at him. Some of the front row was shocked by his disheveled and sickly looking appearance.
Coughing a bit, he walks to the stand, where a man stood. He was dressed in military looking clothing, and had a small toothbrush moustache. The boy nudged the man till he got out of the way, medals clinking.
The boy looked up at the crowd. A solemn silence fell, a hush in the crowd.
His faced cracked into a beaming smile, “FREEDOOOOOOOM!!!!”
He winked at the military looking man and scampered back off stage.
Hitler, having no idea what just happened, blinked a couple of times then went back to his speech on destroying everyone.

Just something that popped into my head as I got off the ship. Enough said. Till tomorrow.

thoughts

Ok peoples. Im being whisked away tonight. Shall be gone till wednesday or thursday. I cant say were Im going since thatl Jeprodize the mission. But All I can say is that I should have lots of time to draw, thus updating the comics a whole lot on thursday.
Miss you already.

P.s. scary movie 4 is good. A wee bit to Imature in its humour but still good.(what?Izak has a mature sense of humour? I thought he was One of those guys that would laugh at a poop joke.. Well I dont...Unless it has big words used right before hand. :P

So I suggest everyone reads Apples blog until I get back :), or catch up on Zaras steve chronicals. (Both very good things, deserving the respect their due for their creativity)

ok, I heard it again. But the baby voice sounded more like a cheap recording done in an extremely hollow room. wait.....all rooms are..oh never mind. I heard it, but at least im not as freaked out as I was last time. Ill be going on an adventure with it soon enough. It will tell me to go in the big creepy wardrobe with all the fur coats. when I get right to the back and realize theres not another world back there it will be to late. The voice would have locked me away, shipped me to china, and no one shall ever hear from me again. Dont ask why im in china. Dont know why the stupid voice didnt send me to haiwaii or something. But I guess cokes more expensive over there or something.

comic #190 #191

Irew these comics while sitting bored in the car. Groan. im lee tired.Well, take a nap..THEN FIRE ZE MISSILES!


Did I mention the story is a love story? No? ok.

Jason threw the phone down in exasperation. No one knew where Ester was. He ran out to his car. He ran back inside and got his keys then ran back out to the car. He would try some of the places they would always go. She probably got upset about something and ran off. But that wasn’t like her at all…
Near the water front was a look out on the top of a hill. In the center was a huge stone pillar, commemorating war veterans and their fallen comrades. Around it was beautiful ornamental streams and freshly cut and weeded gardens. Paths weaved in and out. Jason and Ester had gone here often when they had just wanted to enjoy each others company, without any hustle or bustle from the rest of the world. He rushed around the paths until he was sure she wasn’t there. As he jogged back to his car puffing and trying to catch his breath, he looked over at one of the many parks bench’s that lined the paths. He remembered holding her one evening, looking over the glistening water below. He had remembered saying that he would never loose her, and he would always protect her. She had looked up at him, put her arms around his neck and kissed him gently. She said she trusted him, with all her heart.
He’d be damned if he would loose her…

comic #189

ok, quick thought. We have to get the kitty "fixed" as it were. And it suddenly struck me, why is it called getting "fixed", if anything its getting "disabled". at the very nearest it could be called "fixing the problem" but thats about it.

Im going to do some more comics similiar to this one. full page stuff.

official intro

Well here it is, all 418 frames of it. The official Izak*Steve intro and trailer. I'll post an updated link if I do any major changes to it. it'll be available through the banner at some stage, meaning as soon as I can be bothered.

p.s. please excuse me, The text for the preloader is white/the same colour as the background so its invisible. 56k modems be patient.

animation by yours truly.

comic #188

This ones sorta based on an experience I had once. It was a couple of guy fawks ago, and my brother was getting a bonfire started, So he poured petrol all over it, emptying the entire bucket. I was sitting about 3 metres away from it. So he gets a flare out (expired police issue ones that you see around car crashes), Lights it up, and then biffs it into the very middle of the pile. I felt this huge "Whoomp" a wall of hot air rushes past, and a hug blue mushroom of fire leaps up and a second layer, spreads like water right round the perimeter of the bonfire, practically scorching my feet off.
Unfortunately I totally faild to capture this image when they blow up the car on the comic. Meh.


By this stage Esters boyfriend had finished rehearsing in front of the mirror. He called her phone and had found it dead, a non existent number. He had phoned her work and the king receptionist had said that she had walked out of a board meeting hours ago and had not been seen since. Quite concerned at this stage he had finally rung her apartment and then as a last ditch effort, her mothers house *shivers*.

comic #187

This is the last of the "side" comics. just a part 1 and 2 thing.That is the classic way of getting out of anything. Jumping through closed windows. So if you brake your neck at the bottom, they probably wont even remember what you were talking about before you jumped.


The bloodied hand which was resting on the brake, shot up, expertly righting the car up, the left passenger door scrapped on the brick wall, the car bounced slightly then skidded into the center of the road.
Ester realized she hadn’t done anything; she looked up at nicks semi-decapitated head,
It grinned back at her. No longer could you see a broken jaw, red sinew and skull.
“Well that was fun now wasn’t it?” Nick grinned at her.
Ester did the sensible thing and passed out.

--to be continued.

comic #186

this comic (and the next) dont do anything to the continuety of the story line, their just a little filler I dreamt up. I was trying to work on the female figure, and as you can see from the 8th frame, its starting to really shape up(ahh, double meanings). Its really weird though, when you start drawing girls to get all their angles right, you always get a nagging feeling your being a pervert. Oh well, its all for the greater good.

the story continues...

Blood started dripping onto her arms. The body slumped onto her, she squealed a bit. Ester fumbled desperately for the hand brake. She couldn’t get to it, a cold lifeless hand covered it. She desperately looked up and saw they were on the wrong side of the road, She pulled to the left, a truck clipped the back corner. The lights smashed out of the back and the bumper fell off. They went into a spin, around and around, down the middle of the road. On one side was a giant wall of rock and clay, and the other was a short brick wall which separated them from falling down a short cliff into the rocks and sea water at the bottom.

--to be continued.

warning

After spending most of forever to fix the stupid site, Im thinking of using this as an excuse to move to a new website, give the comic series a new name, look, etc. for now im going to scout around, see what I can find, maybe move to a proper comic hoster like keenspot. Thank goodness I got the shoutbox up and running.Ill anounce the big move if it ever happens, Dont worry, I would never ditch you guys.
P.s. People give me ideas for new names!!!


Yours faithfully, truly, honestly tired, Izak Flash man

wow, oldschool

Its even in colour. whoda thunk it. I found it lying around in the bowls of the computer. It is prettyy old, but I love the first frame, the proffesor looks pretty alright. Its kinda fun looking at things I did ages ago, I found this one pic, pretty awesome, "life in the year twenty ten.", I wish I knew what I was going to do with that, it looks kinda cool for its time.
so probably over the next couple of days while I recupirate Ill post some of my old junk to keep everyone interested. ok, somebody tell me, is the sidebar pushed all the way down the bottom on your screen? and is all the text in bold for the past couple of posts? My computers going nuts.

P.s. yea, I havent forgotten about the story, Im working on it.

haha

Matt, your past is coming back to haunt you. So the question you must ask yourself..feeling LUCKY punk? :P, this is an old animation Matt did a while back, I am a witness, I was there, humpty was PUSHED!
So check it out, I found myself laughing. Crappy animation, but still funny.

My eyes stinging from spending to much time on the computer. I think Ill go draw now. Laters.

comic #185

well. There goes an hour of LOTR comedy in a blink of an eye. No one shall ever see hat cartoon, and its all this computers fault.
Ok, Im going to try and get through the comics like this now. maybe everything will pick up soon. maybe not. I feel sorta sad that this is the way the comics are going. Stamped out by the tyrany of education. Almost poetic. almost but not quite.
Im dreading pulling myself away from the computer and doing physics. Im procastinating. Im...Im.... Not in a good mood...

Current mood: "slightly insane, angry, depressed, confused and wants a hug."

Currently listening to: the voices inside my head.

Quote of the day: "You really ARE f***ing insane!" by Dane cook.

still wants a hug. yours sincerely
Izak Flash Man.

comic #184

If anyone was curious. I was the one who voted for "Nah its all good they suck anyway.". Im glad I was the only one that clicked that. But Im also not very happy with the out come. MAjority of votes want me to carey on doing daily updates. And to be honest, Thats going to be impossible. unless I start making enough money from this project to keep me alive for the next 60-70 years of my life (which it isnt). Mums really pushing the school work now. Doing it around the clock. Surprising I even got a comic done today to be honest. The comics are going to start coming not as often as it did. I cant keep up the pace.
SKREW THIS. I CANT WORK WITH THIS. I CANT WORK WITH THIS IMPASSIVE BRICK MICROSOFT CALLS A COMPUTER. I CANT. I CANT. I CANT. If this frecking post even works that is. I hate it all. I just cant stand anything. erg. period. done. no more. skrew it all.
Go check out zaras latest steve chronicle. It rocks. As it always does.
Go see Kei-uh, I mean, APPLES new blog. its pink and perty.:P.
Go see the world. Get away from the computer. Fall in love. crack jokes. get a life. if you already have one, inrich it. Make friends, play Touch the person on the head with a gerkin. Throw mash potatoes against a wall. Draw everything you have ever wanted to draw. Lie in the middle of a field, staring up at the stars with the person you care for most. and dream, always dream. Dream of the future. Hold her tight and never let go.
Get a drivers license, then take public transport so you meet random oddballs. Sleep in so you get a major headache when you get up. Feed the homeless. Go to a third world country, and do the best you can for who you can to make a better tomorrow.

.....big brothers mental note to self, buy kitty litter and deflea cat......

ahem. where was I. aww frig. that realy put me off. Ben and his cat. Pah. uuuuuuuh. oh yes. aww man. I was in a really poetic mood before he came in. oh well. its gone now.

quote of the day: "Sometimes your biggest fans are your bestest friends."

I may be going mental, but its nice to see you guys still hang around. High Five, Matt, Nicolian, Phill, Keir, Zara, Robby, Cait, and whoever else I forgot. lol. oops. I should really think hard before I post this. meh.

comic #182 #183

Hey howdy ho all. Woops a daisy, woopsy doopsy, …Ok, that had to be the gayest intro I have done in a while. Gay, in the extremely happy way, not the sexually attracted to the same gender way. How come quires always take all the cool words?? I would love to just walk into a crowd and say “Is everyone having a gay old time? I am!” and not get funny looks. And now you just laugh at kids on playgrounds saying “I wanna be the biggest queen of the WORLD.”
And you know you just wanna be like the old beano/dandy comics and say “ooh eer, I’m feeling kind of quire today, mumsy, I must sit in bed all day, away from.. SCHOOL.” *winks at camera* *cue canned British laughter*. Gosh, those were useless comics, I don’t ever remember laughing at one of those. I was like nine, thinking to myself “Not even 8 year olds would laugh at this! Stupid immature basher.”
It’s a bit like those stupid syndicated comics. Actually, I’m just saying that because im jealous they actually get paid to do comics and I don’t. All I have to rely on is people clicking on my Google ads. Wink….*Nudges in ribs*


She went to squirt Nick’s cheek.
The side of his head exploded. The drivers door window exploded, blood and shards of glass splattered out onto the rapidly moving pavement outside.
Ester screamed. The gun, which seemed a lot more menacing now, fell from her shaking hands. She covered Her mouth. She couldn’t stop staring. The pun struck home. Who was steering the car? She grabbed the wheel, And started reaching for the handbrake.

comic #181

Public service message: Feel alone in the world? Think theres no one out there that loves you? Well guess what! Stop being such a angst little twerp about it because now (new from moose) is this!My words of encouragement(tm).
Theres those song lyrics "Everybody loves somebody sometime"

Well its true, and chances are somebody, somewhere out there has loved you. You might not know it but theres some creeoy stalker guy out there writing your name over and over again in their text books cause they cant think of anything better to do. Oh that just reminded me, For all of those that read the shout box, You may have noticed I went ape because my computer supposedly "SPAKETH"(or spoke) to me. Well it did, it was a sorta highish baby voice, and was freaking out. "Help me" then that was it. I did alt-ctrl-Delete to see what programs were running, nothing out of the ordinary. We are infested with some nasty viruses though, damn hotmail. So my hearts been hammering over all this. I dont like being in the room alone with the computer incase it tells me the secret of the universe and I forget. Actually, more likely, I dont want the computer to grasp my thigh obtrusively. ANYWAY. Back to my public service announcement. Girls! This ones for you, the ones that think they look like a monkeys B-hind. You DONT. Its physicaly impossible to look like an apes posteriar. When a guy falls in love with you, no matter what you look like, the more we look at you, the prettier you become. After A while you look like a goddess and we have to be tied to a table or something so we dont do anything rash. So dont worry about looks, as long as you have a beautiful personality everything else will just come free with the package. GUYS, You might get down in the dumps and stuff, and think you look hidious as well. But to be honest, most unshallow girls dont just go for looks anyway, their not turned on the same way as guys. I think Thats something both sexs should understand. I could go into this deeper but Ill leave it for another time.

Batman 2

Just when you thought things couldnt get any more wack, I had to just post ANOTHER batman rip off thing. It features robin(again), and it doesnt have anytalking, just a lot of giggling(It might not be me doing the giggling...or IS IT.). This is something else I did with matt, so I cant be completely blamed for how odd this is.

comic #180

OK, Im gonna try and do a lame joke marathon, Only rules are that I have to find them amusing, but not the majority of other people. I already did one yesterday, so, an entire week of lame *but funny in a warped way) jokes.
Dont you just love typos? I have said some pretty crazy stuff in my time just because of some misplaced fingers(eww, inn joke). Like for example, if your trying to ask someone to marry you over MSN, and just as your writing marry, the cat jumps onto your lap and you get momentarily distracted and It comes out:

And how does that make you...feeeel says:
Would you marrinade me? pretty please. XD, jjks, rofl, lol, lmao, lotr, sos, pms, sms, thingyanddis.

Ok, thank goodness I have THAT over with. Now to the story...



Nick grind at her for a second,
“ Ok, to put your mind at rest, I’m not going to kill you.”
Ester looked slightly relieved, and made to get out of the car.
“But,” Nick said quickly, “Only if you do exactly what I tell you. Once Im done ill let you go about your merry little life again.”
Ester slumped back into the chair.
“ You still haven’t told me what your going to do.”
Nick seemed to not even hear her say anything, instead he put his hand into his pocket and withdrew a sleak powerful looking pistol, Without even looking away from the road he squeazed the trigger.
Ester gasped. Then brought her hand up to her face, She felt a wet dribble go down her forhead.
“Water?” she breathed.
“Water.” He said, then started laughing to himself.
Ok, Ester had had enough of these mind games. She swatted the gun out of his hand, it landed by her feet.
“awwww” he crooned “ don’t need to be like that. Go on, you can play with it.”
She gazed daggers at him for a second, then turned and tried getting out of the car. The central locking was on, and she was having a blond moment. Meaning she didn’t realize you had to click the little button back to unlock the door. She rattled the handle a bit then Had a hissy fit at it. Screaming and whacking at the glass. No one on the side walks seemed to notice.
She gave up, out of breath and frazzled.
“come on, try out the gun, itl cheer you up. I hate it when I have grumpy hostages.” He gave her a friendly smile, she ignored it. Then picked up the gun.

comic #178 #179

Ok, Im not really meant to be online right now, so Ill make this snappy. Oh oh. Ok, I only know one other person that laughed at this rediculius joke. Ok, Im in the van heading up to the steels(sand mine) and im drawing a watch onto robert (the time was 11:88) since thats a normal thing around here,*shifty eyes*. And anyway, its a special ink pen with a really pointy nib, and it didnt wont to work on his skin,
Izak "the pen doesnt want to work on your skin."
Rob "Its quite a picky pen isnt it."
Izak "Haha. a PICKY pen, get it??" *taps nose with pen and goes into hysterical fits of laughter*

lol, get it, GET IT! picky pen. PICKY..PEN!!awwwwwwwwwww, gawd. Me and my useless sense of humour.
Personal notice: No one bother txting me for the next week or so. Dads got me phone. grr him and his meager attempts to squash my social and personal life!Well, he hasnt heard of MSN has he.muahahaha!Actually, that seems to be locking up my comp lately. And yes nicolian.soon.Sooooon the creation shall be...started.lol. *brain thing*.

comic #177

Wo! Dude! Its already the 3rd!How the heckaroo did that happen? I missed Steves birthday completely! its on the 2nd for all those unobservant people.
That second pic is something my brother hand drew, and I traced it and stuff on the computer, those curves are really hard to capture. Its not completely finshed, as you can see the holes in the R are a bit to equal and it makes it look sorta like a button. It says "taylor made" by the way. I think thats a rockin name, I was toying with it for a while for a logo but it seems as though Bens beaten me to the chase. That phrase doesnt really make sense, how do you "beat someone to a chase"? Isnt that a little like putting taxes on taxes?(which they already do) Or isnt it like "Ill swim you to the backstroke!", whoever made those up obviously doesnt know anything of the english language or grammer...Oh wait..I made them up.haha, I get it now.Never mind. *shifty eyes*...*jumps out through safety glass of moving train*(inn joke).


“Like my car?” Asked Nick. He had his hand in his pocket, Where the gun probably was. Ester gave him the silent treatment.
Nick shrugged. He didn’t really care what she thought of his car anyway. Girls never know anything about cars other than the colour. In fact she knew exactly what it was, dodge viper GTS. One of only eight in the country. He gestured towards it and it unlocked and made a little chirp sound.
“Get in. It’s comfy.”
Ester was about to tell him that she didn’t care HOW cute he was, she wasn’t getting in that car, when she found her legs walking towards it involuntarily.
Once she had let go of the door and was sitting in it grumpily inside the sleek vehicle Nick looked over.
“I guess you want to know EXACTLY what your doing here and why I choose you?”
She glowered at him.
“Yes.” She said, almost spitting.

comic #175 #176

Ok, Im trying to write something funny but matts putting me off. Partly because hes learning the Jurrasic Park theme song (at my request admittedly). Gosh, that really brings back memories. I have the special limited edition of that movie. Its awesomeness on a stick. Part three had potential to be pretty good, but it just get up to it. For its time jurrasicpark was quite ground breaking. Anyway, enough reminising.

These comics were meant to be posted yesterday (for april fools) but yea. I didnt have time to post them.Read both of them carefully, and in the right order. I was being pretty cheap when I drew them but oh well.
