Hey guys, as you may have seen, I’ve added three new desktop designs into the Extras section of the site. These new desktops were suggested by two of our readers Sam152 & Raron. I really enjoyed doing these desktops, and it got me thinking; If there are any readers out there who would like their [...]

Hey guys, you may notice some slight lagging issues with the site for the next week or so. We are sorting out this issue, and should have it resolved very soon. I’ve basically been noticing that it takes a little longer than usual to go from one page to another whist reading the comic.
Hey guys, one of the great things about having your own website, is the ability to do some shameless self promotion. Two years ago, whist concepting for the LS comic – Greg and I were in the works for developing another comic to support the umbrella name of Visual Assault.
Hey guys, well I’ve finally got a chance to sit down to update another LS post. My U.S. holiday highlight thus far would have to be spending some time at Midtown Comics in New York city. This has to be one of the coolest comic shops I’ve ever been to. The second you walk in [...]

I’ve recently attended to the Supanova convention on the weekend here in Perth, which is kind of like a Comic Con type event. It was an expo which housed everything from comic books, movies & games to celebrity Q&A sessions. It was an awesome event. There were a lot of people dressed up like their [...]
Ok, back to it. The story of the Landscaper was developed due to the fact that our new studio demanded me to take two trains and embark on a 20 min walk to reach our new destination. It was on these walks to the university drama work shop where the story began to form. I’ve [...]
I can’t remember exactly in what order things started to come together, but it all just started falling into place. I began doing little storyboard panels as I saw them in my head – sometimes out of order or not relevant to the previous panel. Looking back, this was probably not the best way to [...]
So, now that we have his outfit and his motives somewhat structured, we now needed a basic character profile. Who was the Landscaper? We didn’t have a name, an occupation, and cast of characters just yet. In a way, this is the fun part of creating a story, you have free range to do pretty [...]
