Real Bastard Hours @direstraitscomic - Tumblr Blog

hey man you should check out great god grove I feel like you’d love the godpoke

oooo this looks interesting, I'll throw it on my wishlist. Thanks for the recommendation!

I'm so happy to see this comic picked up again. I remember waiting for your updates years ago when my love for tf2 was in full swing. going crazy seeing the comic evolve and improve over time. eager to see the story unfold and what happens next to our protagonist, surely not more misfortune.

You are so kind this means so much to me. I hope a wonderful day Also our protagonist will be exploding 2435467 times in the next page <3

Have you heard the good news?

Guess I'm working on Valve Time™ as well. Except they're a million dollar company and I'm some depressed moss covered creature working in a hole in hell.

Might as well do an update since some of you guys have been sticking around.

I still have a few pages lined up! What's kept me from working on more? Indecision!

And Final Fantasy XIV

But mostly indecision...actually no it's mostly FFXIV

Elly's new model has given me trouble because making HWM models is HELLISH

ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FIVE SHAPE KEYS

and like 22 of them are NOT corrective shapes!

The good thing about being a one moron team is that I have full say and no one to dare question my divine and correct decision making

The bad thing is I have no constructive criticism and the only people who can help me know just as much about this program as I do.

Literally the past ten years have been me throwing rocks at this program and figuring out how it works. Diving into old and obscure forums and websites for tidbits of information like I'm looking for forbidden knowledge

They don't quite make great step by step guides for dumbasses on how to make HWM models ya know!

Either way!

I'll get her done and keep working

Does the release of the last official TF2 comic we'll ever get mean I'm not gonna work on this anymore?

Hell no but I'll be sad about it

I strive to be as accurate as possible to everything we have officially, keeping personal and popular HEADCANONS out of the comic and aim for the same quality valve has gave us.

This may be oc meets canon garbage but it's garbage I've sprayed with six cans of chrome paint so it shines brighter than your car.

I aim to make it readable.

Not as a replacement god no but a good homage to something that influenced me and kept me company during very dark times. Something that introduced me to friends I still hang out with and something that made me laugh harder than I ever had in ages.

Now that the sappy bullshit is out of the way here's a Christmas present!

I'll be submitting four pages through out the next couple weeks!

One page Every Friday STARTING NOW!

Consider it a Christmas gift

Merry Christmas, Happy holidays

Wanders in and vomits this on your lap

So update! Life's been doing what life does to everyone! Curb stomp them in the middle of a glass covered alleyway!

Despite this I'm still chugging along. I'm currently building a surplus of pages I can use to queue up so I can ATTEMPT to do a set schedule instead of like having it be uhhh one page PER DECADE. Because I uhhh wasn't doing that earlier because I was a dumbass

The biggest issue has been breaking the model, updating the model because of the breaking, adding new models that will be used in one page for a gag then never again, fixing the models that will never be used again, and getting sucked up into Final Fantasy XIV There's a certain yellow-eyed, sassy, smug, bitch of a villain from that game that's been living rent fucking free in my head for the past couple months and he's pissing me off but I can't bring myself to kick him out even tho he hurts my feelings.

He is being beaten with a fly swatter as we speak

I've barely started Endwalker months ago and haven't touched it

Ignoring games that are weirdly far removed from the one this blog is centered around... I'm not dead! I hope you aren't either!

I have a lot of stuff lined up and ready. When my depressed lazy ass gets around and finishes more pages I'll start posting asap!

Also Elly's new model and design is finished and I hope you like how she looks! Because I got carpel tunnel from the redesign!

#not a page #i'm not dead #I'm so tired but on god I'm going to get back into comic making because I -grits teeth- LIKE IT #FIGHTING FFXIV OBSESSION #I'm gonna bite Emet-Selch

Okay okay okay so. Just stumbled across this, not scrolling too far down as to not become spoiled by the old pages but oh my god? This is incredible! Where has this been all my life? And you’re making it through the devil program too. You’re an actual saint and I am so happy to have found this comic.

Hello hello! Thank you so much for the kind words :'D I put my heart and soul into this comic and it's been both a pain in the ass and very fun. Been in the making since like 2014 and has been my drive to get into 3D modeling. I'm so glad you like it ;u;
