Housepets!

I don't think I want to know what kind of plan could involve holding all of those Temmies. James, what are you still doing there? Leave before you end up on Mettaton's show.

Temmies vibrate, therefore anyone holding a Temmie vibrates as well. If everyone is constantly vibrating, Doggo can see them at all times.

Ah, now I see/get it. I forgot Temmies did that. That was thoughtful (and innovative) of Papyrus. Very clever work.

So then they constantly vibrate and never stop?

pretty much, yes. Tem have very high energy.

Papyrus' plans may be clever, but they aren't very well thought out... Anyway,

Sorry for the late post; finals have taken up a lot of my time. They are finally over though, so now I get more free time! Woo!

WEEK 19

"Come on Max! There are more than just Legos! Like... Hotwheels cars? Um..."

Have any suggestions for where James should go next? Post them down below, I am open to all kinds of fun ideas!

(An actual comic-like-comic? Coming from me? What's up with that?)

So now we know what the Grinch's pooch was really thinking during the time when the Grinch decided to ruin Christmas because he had a small heart.

there's also more than just toys: they stole a bunch of food too. that would be worth it for me

Well, we find out Max wasn't so innocent after all.

You're a mad one, James McKade
You really are a star
You always find the story whether it be near or far, James McKade
You're as tenacious as a 39-year-old scar

...So sorry, I just had to.

He's not mad...He's just disappointed
(That rhyme works TOO well.)

You know if he does get too bad with the puns, I have a way told real with him.

That in spite of his dedication he's never gotten more money?
I meant mad as in crazy. Let's face it, it takes a bit of madness to track-down Slenderman, stumble upon Jack Skellington, or descend below Mt. Ebott.

I had a thought, though it might be tricky to get it in just a frame or two... McKade gets visited by three ghosts... Never mind.

Great job, Blasterizer!

I'll find a way to throw that in

Maybe one of the ghosts should be Ozzy Osborn.

Haven't had quite as much time as I thought I would have, so here's the first part of this one. I'll post the rest whenever I end up completing it, which will hopefully be tomorrow or the next day.

Merry slightly-late Christmas!

WEEK 20

"It's always "Santa, Santa! Where's Santa!"...No love for the reindeer..."

(Check out my DA page for higher quality images. Link in my signature.)

Hehe, past and present. Reindeer know how to have fun... Come on Mr. Mckade, you get to see Santa!

McKade needs to learn that reindeer is what makes Santa since he can deliver them only by using the reindeer to get from place to place. If I were one of reindeer, I would have bucked him in the face.

Gotta hand it to Present. Such dedication, just to mess with James.
What will James ask of Santa? Has he been a good dog this year?

Good is debatable though he does have a kind heart he can come off as a bit insulting in some cases. XD

Well, his job can be pretty stressful at times.

Hooray, this took way too long! I had to split it up into two images so it would look halfway decent.

WEEK 20.5

"Oh, it IS you! When did you get so tall?"

(To be fair, it was pretty good...)

NEXT WEEK: James McKade gets his paws dirty...

Looks like Jack may be able to take over Christmas just as he wanted to after all.

Oh Santa, even you couldn't resist the hype.

And the hype took him over so much he nearly missed New Year's!

TOMORROW: James McKade gets his paws dirty, while fighting a war in the snow.
(Let's start off this new year with something different, shall we?)

If it ends with him face down in mud, I will love you forever!

Sorry about being late on this update, but I've been busy with getting back to school for second semester. I'll probably be posting something tomorrow.
I've also been thinking a lot about a new project that I want to start working on soon, but I'm looking for some feedback on some of the basic ideas, so if anyone wants to help me out just message me. I would really appreciate it

My suggestion above still stands you know.

I'm having a lot of trouble getting this one to be the way I want it to be...I'll end up finishing it sometime I'm sure, but right now I'm going to be taking some time to organize my ideas and figure out what I want to do next. I have some concepts for a comic story in mind that I would like to try to form into a full project, so I'll be focusing on that for the time being.

Well that is OK then. I'm sure that we all will be looking forward to whatever you put up next!

I really like the ideas that I have, but I'm having two major problems with actually going along with them. I doubt that I am good enough at drawing and editing to make a completely original story based comic in a way that people would actually enjoy it, and I would be satisfied with it. I also don't want to do something that someone else has done before, and I really don't know if anyone has done what I've been thinking about or not.
I'll just continue to plan for now. I'm slowly learning how to use manga studio 5 rather than photoshop, and I'm starting to like it a lot more. Maybe I'll redraw some of my previous drawings and compare them to see which style looks better...

Good idea. I'm sure you will be able to figure out how a way to get it how you like.

Well, after a very long wait, James is at it again!

What's 9 plus 10?
WEEK 21

"What do you mean, beasts all over the shop? Of course there are beasts all over the shop!"

I don't know if I'll be finishing that one comic that I talked about earlier, but here's something completely different instead!
Hopefully I'll be able to return to the regular every-saturday upload schedule, of something from either this or Outage, but we'll see what happens.

James should meet the characters from Aviary Attorney

I thought that spring break would give me more time to draw, but apparently I was wrong. Or maybe I'm just lazy
My favorite band is Pink Floyd, so I had to do at least one.

You know, it was totally unintentional, but every time I see that fox's face, I hear "Why James, I 'm feeling a bit...Naughty..." as he slowly pulls out a razor.

WEEK 22

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure that pink is a color. Not a person. Just saying."

You guys can probably guess what's coming next.

Very nice work on the fire effects.
Stinks that he won't ever be able to eat ice-cream, but hey... You would wish he were there when you're on the dark side of the moon. Darn it, now you got Pink Floyd stuck in my head.

In case you guys don't follow me on DA, here is a quick update on my current situation:

Firstly, I am going to be doing raffles on DA for every 20 watchers that I get. There will either be one or two winners (Depending on how many people enter, and how busy I am at the time), and I will be drawing a picture for whoever wins. It will consist of:
-A fully colored full-body picture of a character of your choice (I will shade and/or texture it as well if requested.)
-This can either be the character themselves OR that character playing as another character of your choice (As I have done with my Pokemon/Dark Souls and Housepets/Undertale pictures.) As long as the combination makes sense to draw.

I will be drawing two winners for the first 20, and we will see where it goes from there. If enough people are interested in it, I might just make it a monthly thing or something.

Also, in terms of comics, I will be continuing sometime in May, when I am on summer break. I will be trying to put more of a focus on Outage, because I still have a lot of good ideas for it that I would like to implement, but a JM comic might get thrown in here or there, depending on when inspiration strikes me. I want to focus on the Housepets/Undertale project right now though, because I really love the idea, and I have a LOT of characters that I want to draw.

Lastly, feel free to contact me if you want to talk. I would like some feedback on my artwork, because I can't really know what to change if nobody tells me what I should change. I just made a twitter account (twitter.com/JamesMcKade), and I have never really used social media sites too much, but feel free to follow me and chat, or just message me here on the forums. I would also like to explore the idea of commissions and art streams, but that will probably come much later.

I really do want to draw things that people actually want me to draw. I haven't really been asked to draw anything before, so I have always done my own thing. Hopefully something like this will change that.

UPDATE: I'll be doing monthly raffles on my DA as well. One winner, raffles will start on the first of every month. Same picture rules as above.

Well, it's been a year since I started drawing, and I haven't quite given up on it yet. Hopefully I will have more time to draw now, and I will be trying to get some comic out once a week, being JM or Outage or whatever. Probably going to try to focus more on Outage, I have a lot of ideas for it.
I'm trying some new design stuff here, so feedback would be appreciated. New character is Pierce Lennox, the editor-in-chief of McKade's paper. He will be making more appearances later, in both JM and Outage comics hopefully.
And now I play No Man's Sky when I should be drawing more, woo!

Yay he back to work and got a nice cake to show for the timely accomplishment!

And I can finally see artwork without it all being blocked now... Just realized that, heh.

I prefer the old style - they look kind of like cats with those eyes. Also, why clothes? He already had a collar.
