Now with the aliens

Posted in Blog

This story takes is to a new environment with new characters every page.  That is why just to do these few pages I had to do a lot of preparatory character designs.  This is what my current work space looks like:

 

There are kind of little spolers in there, but they are blurry and so obvious anyway.  As you can see I have my various Bearmageddon character designs, a bear skeleton and my inspirational photo of me and my love along with my four pages of character designs for Axe Cop Gets Married.  This stuff will all be in the Wedding Sketchbook exclusivley available ONLY through my wedding fund raising campaign over at AxeCopWedding.com.  Please go check it out, if you buy Axe Cop a gift in the registry, you can get this book with a sketch and lots of other stuff.  You can even be in this comic as a character, or request a sketch for the sketchbook and get the original mailed to you.  Thanks to everyone who has already made purchases.  Please let me know if you feel like there is something you would like me to offer that you don't see on the site!  

 

Please enjoy the latest Rugburn animated Axe Cop comic for your viewing enjoyment!

Axe Cop For President 2013

Posted in Blog

Still preparing for the launch of Axe Cop Gets Married on january 22nd!  Along with it we will be launching an additional Axe Cop Wedding website and my plan is to post two new pages per week!  It will be colored by Kailey, who colored the Dogs and did a great job. 


For now, I think this should hold you over because it is pretty dang awesome.  FOX ADHD turned Ask Axe Cop #10 into an animated short in anticipation of the upcoming TV series being released July 27.  FOX has also released some info about the cast, including regulars Ken Marino, Patton Oswalt and Megan Mullaly.  Guest voices include Giancarlo Esposito (Gus Fring on Breaking Bad) and Jonathan Banks (Mike from Breaking Bad) and more!   Enjoy…
 

Rug Burn Animated Episode 5!

Posted in Blog

At their amazing weekly pace, Rugburn has animated all the episodes that we had previously seen animated and now, for the first time we have episode 5 animated for your enjoyment:

 

 

 
I love this one.  I like the action, seeing Sockarang flying and shooting his socks, and Baby Man doing his fart-propelled flight., as well as the unicorn horn stabs.  It's all awesome.  Next week we start the Evil Panet Tinko story!
 
I did the voice of Baby Man in this one. I also did the voice Uni-Baby crying in the last episode.  I did the Vampire Man Baby Kid too!  You'll have to wait to hear that one.  Great work Rug Burn!

Marriage Prep

Posted in Blog

I apologize that you don't have a new episode this week, but I am going to have to use the rest of the time before the 22nd to prepare for Axe Cop's new storyline.  I also have a lot of work to do preparing for my own wedding.  I pretty much just have a lot of work to do in general.  Also, I did this Axe Cop and Flute Cop walnut ink painting and it has less than two days left to bid.

 

I know some people want to know if this Axe Cop gets Married story will be “canon” and not some gimmick marriage.  No, this is a real Axe Cop story and it really is about Axe Cop looking for a wife.  It has all the stuff you usually get in an Axe Cop book, but it also has Axe Cop's way of approaching things like proposing, how to plan a wedding, etc.  It also involves him becoming an adoptive father.  It may even be more accurate to call this one “Axe Cop Gets a Family”.  

 

Thanks for all the support as I've posted new comics with Malachai and continued to create more Axe Cop here on this little web site I never would become what it has.  FOX officially announced the  air date for the TV series and the cast of voice actors we've got so far! It's pretty amazing.  Read for yourself

I may post some updates or guest episodes before the 22nd, but if not I'll see you back here then.

P.S. Don't miss episode #4 of Axe Cop now on Rugburn!

 

 

Axe Cop Gets Married

Posted in Blog

Alright, I won't have an update for a bit, but I want to tease you on the upcoming story with this image.  

 

 

As some of you know, I am currently engaged.  Malachai and I also have two other brothers, Noah and Isaiah who got married in July and September.  Weddings and marriage have been a popular topic, so I asked Malachai if Axe Cop would get married and a new story started.  I'm excited for this one.  I'll post more updates and info as the date comes closer.  

Happy New Year!

I'm going to take a break for Christmas.  I'll be updating via the blog about our upcoming story, which will start in mid-January.  Also, don't forget to watch the new Rugburn animated episode #0!

 

I'm excited to tell you about the new story.  Some of you may have heard about it.  It is the closest thing to a romance you may ever see in the Axe Cop universe.  More on that soon!  I recommend you read the amazing Axe COp Christmas Special, and enjoy…

 

Merry Christmas to you and your family!
