╠ Comic - Save The Sensibles ╣

Once again i decided to try something a little bit different with this comic. Overall I think the new style sort of works, however as usual I'd love some other opinions on it to see if anyone shares my sentiments.

I hope you enjoyed this comic and as usual comments are welcome.

╠ Comic - Some things aren't foldable╣

Despite having exams as well as other things draining on my time I can't seem to help but be drawn in to do more Gruen stuff. So without further ado here's the comic for the Vodafone breakdown.

Overall I'm sort of at a loss with a few of my comics because I'm not sure if I'm making them in order to be just humourous or wheather I should be aiming to get a bit of marking stuff in there. I'll probably look into it a bit more psot exams but if any of you have input that would be good.

Also since I now am starting to have a few comics I've made a list of all of the ad breakdowns and their respective comics. You can find it in the 1988 post. I'll probably add it as a link on the main page after exams as well.

As usual I hope you all got some enjoyment out of this and comments are always welcome.

╠ Comic - Aussies do it better╣

Many apologies for the long absence. I spent all of my time up to this weekend working on Manifest (Melbourne Anime Festival). I was Vice Convenor, Cosplay Coordinator as well as many other roles and because of this I had no time to spend on anything else. Because of this University also suffered so I may still be a bit slow in posts because I have a lot to catch up on if I want to still do well this semester ^^;

To continue on with where I was up to here's the comic to go with the commonwealth ad.



I hope this comic was good because it may have been a bit rushed unfortunately due to my workload. I spent some more time on the art today because of it but I probably should have worked on the lines a bit more.

The basic jist on this comic is in reference to over augmentation of items. For those of you who don't know what augmentation means it's when you add new features to an item. So this is just a humourous rendering of when an item is augmented so much that the original purpose of the item is lost sight of.

The next breakdown I do will be of Vodafone's ad. I don't have a new list for the poll yet because I haven't had time to investigate what ads are suitable but hopefully I will by the next breakdown.

As usual comments are welcome and I look forward to getting onto the Vodafone ad when I catch up on Uni.

╠ Comic - Can Sex Unsell Sex? ╣

I had a good idea for this comic so I felt like getting into it right away. I didn't get many comments on the Bonds ad so I hope that's not because I got it totally wrong. Also if any of you have recommendations for ads I think I'm getting to the stage where I sorely need them since voting this week seems to have stagnated because of it.

As for this comic. If anything it made me realize how much I struggle at drawing girls. In the end I just had to give up for the final frame and trace them from a bonds website. Quite sad really. but hopefully one day I'll be able to draw that well freehand.

As usual I hope you enjoy the comic and comments are always welcome.

╠ Comic - Release the Environment ╣

I got some free time over the week so I was able to do the comic in order to catch up. So here is the comic linking to the SAAB - Release the Environment ad review. So now hopefully the comics will be posted on a weekly basis and linking to the ad I have just broken down. I'm pretty happy with the style at the moment so I think I'll keep it. Onto the comic...



I sort of didn't want to be so cynical about the ad because I don't overly hate it...but it isn't that easy to write these things and I think I have actually tried to paint Tannie as a ruthless marketer so it sort of fits. I do enjoy writing this sort of stuff though because it starts with a very limited option and then it's up to me to try and find a way to take it and alter it in order to try and spin a new comic out of it that still maintains some sense of humour.

Any critique is encouraged so that I know if there's anything that needs improving on. Also it looks like I'll have to break down the Bonds ad this weekend. I don't know why you all want me to study girls in underpants but it's what you asked for so it's what you'll get :P I'm just proud to have more votes this week than last week. Although I don't have any new ads to poll for next week so if anyone has any suggestions let me know and it may just end up in the poll.

Anyway I hope you enjoyed this and hope you check in again to see what works so well about girls in underpants.

╠ Comic - Welcome to Gruen ╣

As some of you may know I am quite the avid comic maker. So in order to try and augment my blog I am trialing a comic to go with it. I am aiming to do one a week and try to link it to an ad that I have just broken down. I have been trialling styles and the such and so far I am pretty happy with where I'm at but as usual any critique is welcome in order to make it as good as can be.

This comic is simply introducing Tannie and also linking to the Cadbury Gorilla ad that I broke down just over a week ago. Anyway I hope you enjoy and as usual I look forward to any comments you have.



Hopefully I'll be able to keep to one a week, although since I am sort of a week behind linking to ad wise I may try and put a rush on doing a comic linking to the SAAB ad. This stuff is really hard to think about now that I've gotten started :P But none the less I hope you enjoy this attempted humours addition to the Gruen Transfer
