Kill All Boneheads - Tumblr Posts
Considering how much I've improved artistically since I started making Kill All Boneheads, i figured I'd post some art before I start posting pages of the comic. It's definitely a unique artstyle. I mix in mixed media and different artstyles into the comic but the main one you'll see is this one; What I call my 'constructed' style. It's ultimately pretty simple, and it's made similar to how southpark does it's visuals; by layering shapes on top of each other. There's quite a bit of history behind it and the program I use to make it that I'd be down to share some time. :)
Anyway this character, Aries, is a villain coming into the series later. Really like his design though it's probably the most KAB design.
So I've decided I'm gonna be uploading the comic in scenes. That's kind of a vague way to explain it but that's how it's gonna be.
Kill all Boneheads scene the start.
Kill All Boneheads scene the second. End of issue 1
So listen, I ain't gonna lie to you, issue 1 is just *bad*. It serves as an introduction to the world yes but basically all it is is sitting you down and explaining shit to you and it doesn't even really do a good job at that, considering the Pisces twins break basically every rule of the central power system of the series. And like yeah there are people who break the rules, each heart basically has its own rules but there's still a pretty solid thru-line between most of them.
And for anyone who's gonna drop a "why is Pisces a set of twins instead of Gemini? Gemini is supposed to be twins" listen man, when I started this I didn't know anything about zodiac signs. I just knew Pisces was two fish. Honestly I chose zodiac signs kind of arbitrarily cause I wanted a set of mystical things with a defined finite number of members so I could have an actual end point for this comic, and JoJo already used tarot cards. 😭😭
Think of issue 1 as an expositional prologue and issue 2 as the proper issue 1.
Kill All Boneheads part the third.
At the beginning of issue 2 I used pure white eyes to exaggerate Julian's anger (as I do siwmtiems even now) and I liked it so much I decided to go back to the previous page and make his eyes pure white for the rest of the series going forward. I kind of got lazy and decided not to do it going back into issue one, but I sorted decided that his eyes actually changed in-universe as well and that it is an omen of things to come.
Also, introduction of JADE! Fan favorite and resident cutie!
Also don't come on here hating on me cause s villain said a slur. He's literally a villain doing bad stuff that's how stories work.
Kill all Boneheads part the number of backyardigans in the first season (4)
I really wasted the non-heart-powered-Julian segment of this story. I wanted him to go for a while without a heart, cause I like scrappy chatacters punching above their weight class, but it takes so long to make this comic and I got impatient. I also established a set of tools and weapons for Julian that have yet to come back (and probably never will for reasons that you'll understand in a later issue). Reguardless this is the first proper fight in this shonen battle series that is actually of a quality I'm willing to share.
Did some art of a character from my comic, Naga, from Kill All Boneheads (yes he's a self insert. But no I'm not that skinny ☠️☠️☠️)
Kill All Boneheads part (Shrek) 5.
I don't really have any extra comments here.
Finished new page of my comic, I got to say it is probably the most Naga Sake comic I've ever made; between the collage three different mediums and just directly talking to the audience about the creation of the comic on a meta level, PLUS a stale old meme plopped right into it.

Forgot to add tags last time I posted this.
New page of KAB. Despite the fact I've had explicit sex scenes in this comic that last frame feels like the most intimate one I've ever made.
For a while I've been making these pages sporadically, and I had like 5 half-done scenes, and this page finally filled that gap so that the comic is now all readable up until the most recent page with no huge gaps. So take the time now to re-read issue 4 of you haven't in a while! Or if you're new check out the comic!
New set of KAB pages, in the rare Hand-drawn style. I always get comments that people like this more than the constructed stuff but it takes so much longer to make, plus I genuinely like the constructed style.

Judgement and Justice. Both portraying the same character; Julian from Kill All Boneheads. His heart has interchangeably been called Judgment or Justice depending on the mood of the scene and that is intentional. Judgment is much more righteous fury and anger and Justice is much more doing what must be done. I'm aware that tarot has elemental and zodiac associations and that Libra and fire are not the associations with Justice but that's just kind of what this character is I don't know what to tell you. Maybe that totally messes up the cards maybe it doesn't matter that much since I understand what Justice means as a card generally and zodiac never really meant much to me. 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
