Well I thought it was obvious?

Recently, I received a comment made by an anonymous which sounded quite very surprising to me. Let me cut & paste.

YOU ARE A COPYCAT!
HOW DARE YOU COPY FROM THE RING!!!
DO YOU WANNA GET SUED???

By an annoyed, angry, and sad reader...(thats's it...no more JOM for me!)


Well let me clarify now.
If making a parody is being called copycat, that I am a copycat.
All materials in Retrojak contain element of homage & tribute to many references in pop culture.

I am a HUGE fan of Ring merchandise. As well as Gaban and other various sentai & tokusatsu there is. Making a spoof here and there is obviously harmless. I would like to extend my most sincere apology if my simple gesture of fandom in storytelling gave anybody the wrong idea.

But get used to it. There will be more and these things are nothing new. The whole idea of Retrojak is everything mashed into one package. Don't take it seriously.

Please, just enjoy it.

Now.
A little lighter :)

My bookmaking (elective) class requires, as the class name is, making a book.

Since the content is free I decided to make a basic guide in creating a simple comic. And the characters I'm using are from my very own current title, Retrojak.

Progress preview is on next week~
I made an illustration for I don't know maybe the back cover of the book, since the cover will be something else I think.
I leave the empty space for text/summary/etc.



Not sure if I should slap in the Retrojak title for the back cover. It can be confusing!

#4 Pg.1 Preview (Not Final)

Online for a short while. The hermit has to work to make ends meet.

Apparently, my routine submission on every 15th had to be pushed to the 12th. This is due to JOM!'s bi-monthly rotation re-switch and it caught my by surprise. So now, at least 2 pages per day!

THIS IS NUTS!!! I'm going to die!!!

Today I'm supposed to pencil and ink page 3 & 4 today but I got mentally exhausted so I colored the first page instead. The title design/placement is not final. Just to remind you I'm still alive. Anyway, I purposely made the color in such a way because it's a flashback scene.



Here's the page without the title...
