Rasputin Catamite

I finally decided how I am going to deal with the old episodes of RaspCat that are plagued by the old file naming system.  Instead of taking the lazy way out and just renaming them,  I am going to remake them, and add some prequel stuff as well. Stories that are cramped by their frames, will be given more space.  The new art will be digitally painted or digitally painted over ink overlays, when the puppets are not involved.  It will be a delicious creation to look, and an opportunity to digitally practice my acrylic painting skills.  There are over two-hundred comics that need to be tackled.   I believe that I am up for the challenge.

My ultimate goal to win an award for this damn comic, and to put together a damn fine trade paperback volume.  Will I succeed?  It’s worth a try. I already won an award for a very graphic horror animation about Dmitri.  (I used the winnings to obtain 3D modeling stuff.)  It would please me to win an award for the very thing that inspired animation was based upon to win as well.

When Caylie and Loki first convinced me to work on RaspCat, it was crap that I didn’t think would last more than a week.  Hell, I didn’t even want to do it.  Yet, something deep inside told me to go for it.  Now, it’s my second-longest running webcomic and it has the most consistent ad revenue out of all the Catnose Comics creations. RaspCat gave birth to Rasputin Barxotka. It’s also the comic  with my favorite look. Crazy, eh?  Perhaps, but wouldn’t it be awesome if I could take a piece of crap comic parody of Napoleon Dynamite, and turn it into a solid original story with something important enough to say, that others feel is worthy of recognition in my lifetime.

This project is special to me.  It’s high time to make it look and feel like something special.
