Day 7 of 31: Page 29 of Chapter One Coming Soon!

Hey cats and kittens! I hope everyone's doing well this month so far. I'm currently feeling a little under the weather but I hope that whatever it is it'll be short-lived. 

Anyhow, here is a preview of a panel from page 29 of the first chapter of Drop Dead Vince. There's still some work to be done for this page but hopefully I'll be able to get this page online soon. As for the last two pages, they're both close to being finished and will both be uploaded together as a double update once the time comes. So stay tuned for them! 

Thank you everyone so much for all your support. Take care of yourself and stay spooky! 

Day 6 of 31: Betty Makes a Sweet Pumpkin! (And Some Future Entry News)

Hey cats and kittens! I hope everyone had a nice weekend and got a good head start on their Halloween plans. Speaking of Halloween, Betty's Pumpkin Carving Stencil is finally finished and ready to order in the Drop Dead Shop! It'll be the same price as the Vince one and will also include instructions ( however, as I said before, carving kits and tools will NOT be included and you will have to purchase elsewhere separately). Also be sure to send pictures of your pumpkins if you purchase a stencil to use for your jack-o-lanterns this year!

I also have some more news for future blog entries: along with the FAQ/Q&A for Drop Dead Vince I will also be scanning and uploading exclusive concept sketches of Betty and Vince for you to see! I'll also be uploading character designs for some future characters these two might run into sometime in the future. So stay tuned!

Back to the FAQ/Q&A, I am still open to accepting questions so please leave any questions you have in the comments. Thanks again for all your support and stay spooky!

Day 5 of 31: Looking For Drop Dead Vince Questions For an FAQ/Q&A!

Hey cats and kittens! It's five days into the Halloween countdown for Betty & Vince month and nearly a week into October! I hope everyone's gotten started on their Halloween plans, as for me I don't really know what I'm doing for this year aside from Vince-related things. But I'm going to try my best to finish the remaining Vince pages and keep up with this production blog!

Firstly, here's a preview of Betty's Pumpkin Carving Stencil sketch. Vince's stencil is already finished and can be purchased here, along with some other fun Drop Dead Vince goodies. And more merchandise for the Halloween season will be added sometime this month so definitely keep an eye out and I'll be giving previews and first-looks for them on this blog as well!

Also, sometime this week I'd like to compile some questions for an FAQ or Q&A blog entry about Drop Dead Vince. It can be either about the story, the characters, or even about the creative process for the comic itself! Please feel free to leave any questions below in the comments section, I look forward to what you'd like to ask about Vince and Betty! Take care and stay spooky.

Day 4 of 31: Drop Dead Vince Character Playlists

Hey cats and kittens! It's day 4 of our Halloween countdown for Betty & Vince month and I'd thought I'd do something different for once. Music plays a big part in inspiring me when I work on art or projects and for Drop Dead Vince it was no exception. So I decided to make a list of songs that inspired me when creating the two main characters of the series, Vince and Betty! (These links however are NOT download links but to Youtube videos of the songs, but you can find most of the songs on this list on iTunes or other music sites)

• "Venus" by Frankie Avalon
• "The Girl Upstairs" by Alfred Newman (score from the film the Seven Year Itch)
• "My Special Angel" by Bobby Helms
• "(She's) Sexy + 17" by Stray Cats
• "Long Blond Hair" by the Go-Kats (cover of the Johnny Powers song)

• "Surfin' Dead" by the Cramps (featured in the film the Return of the Living Dead)
• "Billy's Dead" by Deadbolt
• "Dead Man's Curve" by Jan & Dean
• "Mr. Sandman" by Oranger (cover of the Chordettes song, featured in the video game Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse)
• "Rockin' Bones" by Ronnie Dawson

I hope that you'll enjoy the tunes and maybe they'll inspire you to create something yourself! Take care and stay spooky!

Day 3 of 31: Who Wants to Carve a Drop Dead Pumpkin?

Hey cats and kittens! And speaking of cats this one's out of the bag: the Drop Dead Shop is getting pumpkin carving stencils this year!

I don't know too many artists who make their own pumpkin stencils, especially of their own characters, but I thought it'd be something unique for this year and I thought a skeleton on a pumpkin would suit Halloween pretty well. They're currently going for $4 and will also include instructions (carving knives or tools however will NOT be included). Right now Vince's mug is the only design available, but Betty will be joining him very soon as well as some other Halloween Vince-related goodies so stay tuned!

Thanks again everyone for all your comments and support. If any of you use the stencils for carving your pumpkins this year please let me know! Take care and stay spooky!

Day 2 of 31: Drop Dead Vince 2013 Halloween Merchandise Coming Soon!

Hey cats and kittens, it's Day 2 of Betty & Vince month here at the Drop Dead Vince Production Blog!  I hope everyone's having a nice October so far. It's a bumpy start for me, but here's hoping things will look up soon.

As I said before I've not only been busy with the remaining Vince pages but also some special upcoming Halloween merchandise for the Drop Dead Shop. Above this post is a preview of something that I actually just finished last night and will be in the shop hopefully later this week! What it is I can't say for the moment, but I don't know if it's been done by other webcomic artists and I thought it'd be something fun and festive for this time of year. You'll see soon enough!

I'm also planning on doing a new Halloween special edition print for this year. The remaining copies of the Halloween Print from 2011 will available for purchase in the shop also later this week and will still include a special goodie bag that will include two free stickers of Betty and Vince (and there will also be new goodie bags included with the new print as well!) and at a discounted price! You can also get the 2011 Halloween Print in the discounted Graveyard Rock Pack along with an exclusive postcard and the First Year Anniversary Print and sticker! What a screaming deal!

Thank you everyone for your support and I hope that your October so far is a great one this year. Take care and stay spooky!

We're Back (Again)! Let's Count Down to Halloween!

Hey cats and kittens! I apologize again for disappearing for several months. As I said before, 2013 has not been my best year and I've had a lot of ups and downs (mostly downs it seems like). But I'm doing my best to hang in there and keep at it, after all you can't really get anywhere if you just drop everything and give up.

Back on track, Drop Dead Vince is updating again! And actually very close to finishing the first chapter! I've been plugging away on the pages and there's about three more to go until the first episode wraps up. I'm also going to be cooking up some special Halloween goodies for the Drop Dead Shop so stay tuned for more news on that!

And speaking of news, the Drop Dead Vince Production Blog is now participating in the Countdown to Halloween! Along with some other awesome and creepy blogs, I'll be committing myself to updating every day of this month and keeping with the Halloween spirit. This month is going to be Betty & Vince Month so keep in touch for DDV-related news and posts!

Thanks you again for your support and for being so patient with me this year. I'll do my best to update more often, so stay tuned and stay spooky!
