Kill-A-Lot-Bot

When the robotics wing of Astounditech Incorporated was the victim of serious financial cutbacks, the staff decided, in a moment of anger, programmed one of their most advanced robots to go on a killing spree. Unfortunately for them, it was very good at it. The robot killed the heads of the company, the programmers and engineers, and just about everyone it came across. It killed a lot. Eventually, the authorities were able to stop the robot’s rampage, but just then the Robotic Raiders arrived to recruit Kill-A-Lot-Bot to their goal of human extinction. Taken to the machine team’s secret base, Kill-A-Lot-Bot continues to join the serve.

I have opinions on the idea that Artificial Intelligences would want to destroy all human life. To greatly simplify those opinions: I figure they probably won’t have much reason to want do that. This character is the opposite of that. Unlike most of the villains I’ve done so far, this one is neither a villain assigned to one of my heroes from previous Super Sundays, nor meant to stand alone. The Robotic Raiders have appeared in one of my Robexor stories. Why make another robot for a team already staffed with several robots in a story I already did? Honestly, I mostly just wanted to draw a robot, so I did.

Fireclops

In this corner, from the Isle of Mystic Fire, the terrible daughter of the Burning Sky, the flaming creature with a hunger for roast human: Fireclops! Striding forth from the vortex that leads to the Magic Realms, Fireclops tears through cities and towns setting fire and eating people. This is the exact kind of magical threat that Konwaag the Magic Hunter seeks to put to an end. Which of these two powerful beings will come out on top? And how much damage will the human race suffer in the meantime?

Nothing much to say about this one. Just drew a cyclops, then added fire. That happens sometimes. If Konwaag is meant to be a rival hero to Noblewoman, Fireclops is the kind of threat that makes us know that Konwaag is still a relatively good guy. And that way, Fireclops and Noblewoman can work together to fight.

A Little Choy comic:

I’ve returned to hand-drawing for this one after doing them on the computer for quite a while. It’s also going to be my last Little Choy comic for a while. Rest assured that Choy is still out there insulting people, but I won’t be chronicling his tales on the first Monday of every month anymore, to save myself some time and effort. We will see him again, though. When you least expect it.

Still got Phone Guys, though:

School starts back up again tomorrow. I had a whole month off school there (classes at least, there were still exams), but I sure as heck don’t feel like I had any time off. Work and holidays kept me busier than I would have been by choice. Admittedly, there were a handful of days in December where I got to relax and not worry about work or school or some familial obligation, about six such days, but I had plans for all the things I wanted to get done over December (a new Hover Head story, for example) and I have definitely not had time for that.

My plan has all along been to take Summer classes, but now that I’m looking ahead to another four months of no days off, I don’t think I can do that. If I had weekends off (even just one day a week, really), I could do it, but it is tiring having seven days in a row of things to do every week. I will not take classes this Summer, instead I will make time for things like friends and writing. Try to take some time for the things I just can’t fit into six non-consecutive December days.

But that’s still a lot of weeks away.

EDITED TO ADD: It occurs to me that part of the reason I found the last semester of school more tiring is because I had classes I wasn’t enjoying. I’ve got three new classes starting this week and, who knows, maybe I’ll find myself more engaged and thus more energetic time time around.
