Spooked! 👻 A pre-Halloween comic never posted here from back in 2023.

Quackers comic 10-04-23

Panel 1: Tom and Jason are sat on the living room couch in the dark. They are lit by the light of the TV, Tom snacking on some popcorn, a sheet covering his legs. Jason cowers behind his own sheet, scared of the film they're watching. A speech balloon from the TV shows an image of a ghost rising from a grave.

Panel 2: Another image from the TV shows a bunch of ghosts wreathed in fire, growing fangs and maniacal features. Jason shrieks, throwing his sheet in the air in terror. Tom is shocked by this.

Panel 3: Jason's sheet lands squarely on Tom's head as Jason takes a moment to recompose himself.

Panel 4: Turning to look at Tom covered in the sheet, Jason sees what he thinks is a real life ghost and cries out in terror!

Panel 5: Jason faints dead away. Tom lifts up the sheet covering his face, confused as to what's just happened.

Quote post with your cyberpunk #art A little cyberpunk flavour from #Quackers

Cyberpunk themed image of a character from the comic Quackers.
Jason the duck - as his VR game alter ego, CyberDuck - peers around the edge of a wall. He's brandishing his two signature futuristic hand guns and his eye visor glowing red. He is on the left of the image framed all in red. On the right framed in deep blue stands a cybered up rhino security guard dressed in white cyber-armour. He stands before a secure door and his holding a deadly looking laser machine gun. His left cyber-eye is aimed at the camera, glowing a menacing red.

Tired Old Excuse. Forgive me, dear readers, had a busy day at work with no break yesterday and totally forgot to post this! 😬

Quackers comic 09-02-26

Panel 1: Tom stands next to the couch where Jason is slouched, one leg upon the coffee table. “C’mon, you’ve done enough lounging around lately,” Tom scolds Jason. “It’s time we got you back in the gym.”

Panel 2: “Uuuuugh!” whines Jason, slicing further into the couch. “But we already went to the gym just last month!”
Tom leans over him, resting and arm over the back of the sofa. “You know exercise isn’t just a ‘one-and-done’ thing, right?”

Panel 3: “You have to keep at it to stay strong and healthy!” Tom says as he flexes a bicep to prove his point.
Jason, arms splayed pathetically at his side whinges even more. “But I’m sooo tiiiiired!”

Panel 4: “You get tired just trying to open the automatic doors at the supermarket,” berates Tom. “Let’s go!” he says.
Jason sits, arms folded and a scowl on his face. “At least there I know I’m leaving with tasty snacks afterwards…” he mutters to himself.

Played my first real game of D&D the other night where I got to be this big green fella. (of course I had to paint him!) Meet Boxxa Breefs. A charming lout who like to hit things with bigger things and has a penchant for “collecting” other people’s valuables.

Went to a farm and saw (and fed) lots of cool animals, and then got to witness the solar eclipse. Been a very exciting day!

Doodling a pair of slackers as a comic warm-up

Rough sketches of Mordecai and Rigby from Regular Show. One shows Mordecai screaming in horror, another of Mordecai and Rigby sighing in resignation. The last is Mordecai whispering something to Rigby, who looks surprised.

Artistic Pilot License. Sorry for the late posting, folks. Totally forgot I hadn't done it!

Quackers comic 08-05-26

Panel 1: Jason strides past Tom in the hallway. He's wearing a red flight suit with blue and white striped epaulettes, and some sort of monitoring device across his chest. He's also sporting some reflective sunglasses.
"Hey, what's with the weird astronaut cosplay, Major Silliness?" asks Tom.

Panel 2: "That's Captain, civilian," replies Jason, turning back to look at Tom.
"Uhuh, suuuure..." mumbles Tom.

Panel 3: We see Jason in all his star fighter pilot glory, a blue and red helmet tucked under his arm as he appears in front of a starry backdrop. He's framed by a nebula as two space fighter zoom by behind him.
"We of the Legion Of Space Security* have a sworn duty to secure the space lanes and hyperspace highways from threats large and small!" announces Jason, proudly. We risk our lives every day to protect everyone; from the grandest of colonies, to the lowliest of people, like you.

*(The L.O.S.S.)

Panel 4: Tom fold his arms. "So you bought a new space ship video game and got carried away again, didn't you?" he asks flatly.
"Define 'carried away,'" Jason responds.

Curse that pesky plumber! It’s Bowser Day, once again. Happy holiday to all who celebrate!

A digital painting of Bowser. He’s angrily shouting while waving a fist in the air, a small gout of flame erupting from his open maw. A speech bubble shows the image of a red plumbers hat with the letter ’M’ printed on it and a large red cross stroking it through punctuated by an exclamation point.

It was either this or The Net, but technically I didn’t see that film until a few years later.

Tech Solutions. After a week of battling with my pc to get it working again, I ran out of time for a proper comic. But it did inspire this little one-shot based on some of my thoughts while swearing at Windows.

Quackers comic 07-22-26

A one panel comic that begins with a caption that reads “Some computer issues require a delicate approach.”
A computer sits on a desk, its internals on fire and sputtering sparks. One of the front red-lit fans looks like an eye giving a mean look to Jason. Jason is stood behind the computer, brandishing a chainsaw and sticking his tongue out in concentration. Tom stands to the other side holding a baseball bat with an angry expression. Behind him is a monitor with a red screen, and a yellow triangle with an exclamation point emblazoned on it.

Giving acrylic paint a try for the first time. Got a lot to learn when it comes to blending and getting the right consistency, but seems to be going well for a first attempt (considering I’ve rarely ever painted anything).

An in progress painting of Jason the duck as his video game alter ego, Cyberduck.

For those following Quackers on the main website; I've posted this week's comic early. I wanted to be sure it went up before I start trying to fix my PC as that's going to take up a lot of free time and certainly limit my ability to upload. I'll be posting as normal here tomorrow.

Anyway, I've managed to update Quackers on the official website, and I'll be posting the latest episode here later today from work. I can only hope I can come up with a solution to all this tonight or tomorrow.

Tested out making some rough pixel art for this week's Quackers comic. Decided to go with the normal line art however, just for the sake of getting to see more fun details, getting the comic out on time, and for my sanity. Might still make some proper pixel art of these scenes in the future though!

A rough pixel art sketch of a green dragon in purple armour roaring with a small fireball erupting from it's mouth.

Final inked line art of the same dragon belching a small fireball, but without any colour.

Solstice Gave myself and our heroes a little breather after the last month’s storyline with this subdued countryside scene. We’ll be back to usual shenanigans next week!

Quackers comic 06-24-26

A single panel with a more painterly look than normal.
Jason, Tom, and their pet Scruffy are sat on a rock out in the moors silhouetted by the setting sun. They look out over a view of a valley in the countryside, the sun disappearing behind the distant rolling hills. Bunches of Heather grow here and there giving off a flash of purple in the light of the golden hour.

Working on some character designs for this week’s comic. Got a choice of three potential adventurers for one of Jason’s old games but I’m struggling to pick one! Kinda partial to the lion or goat, but what do you guys think? Who would you want to play as in an old school dungeon platformer? 🦁🐶🐐

Work in progress character designs of a retro video game player character. Testing out the design of the species, a lion, a goat, and a dog, all replete in similar armour and holding a sword.
The lion is in blue armour with red tabard and helmet frill, and is the only one holding a shield.
The goat is in green armour with gold accents, but has no helmet or shield.
The dog has yellow fur, blue armour with darker blue accents, and a red helmet frill.
But which cute character do I add to this week’s comic?!?

8/8 Our final game is "Fetch!" Some kind of sports game, I reckon. Mash the buttons to fetch the stick! Enjoyed making this one, especially the main doggo character (you'd have several dogs to choose in-game). Tried to keep it as simple - but eye-catching - as possible, like sports games of old.

Fake box art for a game titled "Fetch!" A brown cartoon anthropomorphic dog runs after a cartoon stick through a simple cartoon park. The title sits at the top of the image in embossed yellow text.

7/8 "Lair of the Goblin" I see this as an action RPG/platformer mix. But are you the goblin, or are you an invading adventurer? Had fun creating the little piggy goblin for this one. Used a painterly style (it's an adventure game after all), but kept it simple and more cartoony.

Fake game box art for "Lair of the Goblin". A small, green pig-like goblin stands in the entrance of a cave brandishing a wooden club and a metal shield. Bushes grow at either side of the cave mouth and a grass plain makes up the floor. The game's title sits below the image in chiselled silver letters.

6/8 "Dump the Junk", another Game & Watch style game with silhouetted artwork. In it you're dumping rubbish falling from various places above the level to one of two piles at either edge of the screen. I thought a racoon character made a good choice for this one.

A pastiche of Game & Watch box art, a green background highlights a silhouetted spindly racoon character throwing a rubbish bin's contents onto a pile on the floor. The title "Dump the Junk" is displayed in the upper right corner.

5/8 "Dodge That Truck!" I imagine this being like a Frogger style game, but the box art had to be more dramatic, yet cheap looking. And so we have a speeding truck in a lineless art style. Absolutely no info on the gameplay, the title does all the heavy lifting, as many 80's games did.

Fake game box art. A simple image of a speeding truck. An abstract road and blue background have a red coloured truck towing a blue trailer as dark smoke billows out of the exhaust. It's in a lineless art stye with subtle gradients. The words of the fake game's title "Dodge That Truck!" are imposed over the trailer in yellow.

4/8 "Box Stacker". I wanted to include a couple of 'Game & Watch' styles games in the mix, and the title of this one seemed perfect for that gameplay. A simple LCD style silhouetted character (some unnamed dog) and a bunch of boxes. What else do you need?

Fake game box art featuring a green background with a black silhouetted character. The dog character looks stressed and is flailing their limbs as some box-like silhouettes next them fall over. The title "Box Stacker" is on the left in top-down text which is equally as wobbly as the boxes.

3/8 Next up, "Yamamoto's Biscuit". Can't do a pastiche of 80's/90's gaming without a Yoshi rip-off. A puzzle game with biscuits (cos I'm British & cookies are their own thing here). Wanted a lizardy mascot, but not a dino, so went with a happy gator. Even made my own brush for Yoshi-style outlines.

A fake game's box art parodying 'Yoshi's Cookie'. Bright orange writing spells out "Yamamoto's Biscuit" and a happy looking cartoon alligator stands holding a baking tray with a big jammy biscuit on it. Other biscuits and pastries fall all around the gator.

2/8 Box 2 is for "Slippy Slope" an early 8bit game. Simple gameplay of your character sliding down many slopes avoiding obstacles, reminiscent of early NES games. I wanted to make something harking back to the very first NES boxes with the blocky images and mid-80's aesthetic.

Fake box art for the equally fake game "Slippy Slope". A blue background features a small square cut-out in which the main art resides. It is a simple, blocky image of a man in blue clothes and wearing a blue helmet is sliding down a red slope towards some blocky 8bit water. Above him an abstract brown circular thing in falling with him (possibly representing a log?). The top corner of the box has a yellow banner with the words "Gamemax Gaming" in it. At the bottom of the box art emblazoned in gold-yellow is an explosion icon with the word "Acton" next to it, and a question mark next to the word "Puzzles". A 'GAMEMAX OFFICIAL' gold and white seal featuring a trophy icon sits in the bottom right corner.

Starting a little thread of box art seen in this week's comic. First up "The Myth of Wanda"; Quackers' version of Zelda games. They feature a parrot questing to rescue Princess Wanda. The series has been mentioned in previous episodes. Did a more painterly style in homage to the first Zelda games.

Digital painting of a sheathed stubby sword lying under a purple coloured shield on a green background. The shield has gold inlays featuring three diamonds stacked together, and a bird-like emblem underneath. The title "The Myth of Wanda" is imprinted above the image in yellow.

This week's comic is going to be pretty late today. Basically had to do the equivalent of eight paintings as well as the usual comic panels and it's taking forever to put it all together! 😭 I'll post it once it's finished, but look out for a repost tomorrow to catch those that miss it tonight.

Someone’s not happy with their change in diet.

A cartoon gator stands looking very unimpressed with the box of vegan burgers he’s holding. He does not like his new diet.
