Jeremy says: Wow! I can’t believe it’s here – The final day of Inktober 2017. Jeff and I were very happy to work together on creating the ideas so that we could provide some Ouro Bros. content this month on our ghost town of a site (haha!). This is the first time I have ever attempted a daily drawing and inking challenge. To be honest, I didn’t think I was going to be able to keep up. I am definitely proud of a lot of the work I did, and I definitely learned a few things I didn’t know before about inking techniques, but one takeaway is that I didn’t challenge myself enough. I think I could have learned a lot more about inking by branching out a little more and trying other styles, but it was really good to have the practice. It also allowed me to start zero-ing in on how I would like to draw the Ouro Bros. characters in the future, which in the majority of my Inktober drawings is a more simplified cartoony style. I think drawing them sort of “light and loose” is the direction I would like to head when creating comic pages in the future. And now that I have “eased” myself back into it by doing daily drawings for Inktober, I think I may be heading back down the road of comic production again. Thanks for checking out this month of Inktober material! Hopefully more to come down the road. I will DEFINITELY be doing Inktober again next year!

Jeff says: As for today’s image, I just love how much fun the band members appear to be having, even dressed up as each other! Of course, the smiling masks may be just overshadowing their glowers of hatred… but I didn’t write it that way, so it didn’t happen! Wait, does that even make sense?

In any case, Jeremy and I have plans to come back to this world in the very near future. So stay tuned, friends!

The Shape of Things To Come

Jeff: Hey, everyone! Yes, we know it’s another week where we don’t have a finished comic yet. Instead, we wanted to let you all in on what’s coming up with the Ouro Bros in the future.

We’re just two comics away from our “season finale”, after which we’re going to go on a bit of an extended hiatus. Please rest assured, though, that we WILL be back! I am already hip-deep in writing out our next season, which will not only take the band to places they’ve never been before, but also take you – our readers – back to past events that have only been hinted at thus far. It’s exciting, but it’s also a bit scary for us, because it does mean we’ll be leaving behind our post-every-Thursday philosophy that we’ve been trying to hold onto since the strip’s inception. The plan is for us to first put together 24 pages of some of the tightest-written material that we’ve yet created, and then once we have it all down, post 3 pages a week for roughly 2 months. Then we’ll probably go on another break while we work up the next chapter.

Why are we doing this? There are quite a few reasons, including time crunches and lifestyle adjustments, but mostly it comes down to us wanting to not only produce the best possible content we can, but also to provide it for you in a method that makes it much more conducive to reading and following. And as we’re closing the book on our longest-running single storyline at the moment, we want the next one to be lean, mean, and sparklin’ with sheen!

So, stay tuned! This season is ending with a bang!
