Choice Battle Cry
EDIT: To give everyone a heads up, Motokool will be posted on Monday Morning/Lunch-ish time at the latest, I’m almost all done with the colors, it’s just some rendering/tweaking I still need to do (wanted to let you all know 🙂 Thank you and sorry!
I’m sorry.
For those of you who have commented, I didn’t read them in the last post, an that is really wrong of me to, I was scared too, and honestly, I’m terrible at this sort of thing, I didn’t know what to say to people who wanted to know what was going on. In truth, I was busy, with freelance, my other comics, trying to take jobs that pay bills. I was coming to a decision I didn’t want to make, and that was deciding if I was going to end Motokool, and stick to my other comics, becuase as much as I love Motokool, I have to look at things from a loose business standpoint too…
I wanted to give a status update, but I didn’t know what to say, I couldn’t say an update would happen, or when, but I didn’t want to say that Motokool is finished either. Next time if something happens, I’ll be let everyone know what’s going on.
BUT, things are really looking up, and I’ve decided I’m sticking to my guns, this story will continue, I’m committed to it, and the story, and I’m not going to let you guys down, or this comic. So all in all, Motokool will resume next Monday, and will update every Monday after that 🙂
Thank you for continuing to check up on things in here, I know that I don’t deserve that, but thank you, you guys are really awesome.
It’s okay Scott! We still love you! and a great thank you for not giving up on Motokool, I need my Templeton fix =3
and might I say what a fine dapper gentleman in this new post!
and Templeton you will have, and thank you 🙂
Hooray!
Also, I was admiring the artwork of this one, then I noticed what the monster said in the bottom panel. Then I noticed the cuffs, mustache, and monocle. Then I laughed out loud.
I’ll have to know that I now have a very angry girlfriend to contend with, but I regret nothing!
An understanding girlfriend should also understand dapper finery is rare these days 😉
(even on monsters)
Good job, Scott! I did enjoy this comic when I first read it and am glad it’s gonna be updated!
Thanks Marissa, I’m happy to hear you’re looking forward to seeing this story move forward, I’m really happy I can finally make that happen 🙂
I know what you mean when you say that it was wrong of you not to give an update of some kind, but I think it was a better decision not to say anything at all just so no rumors would start. Hooray for sticking to it and giving the fans what they want!
it’s fun the see the art jump quite dramatically from the last page to this one
lol “MOOUSTAACCHH”
haha, I wasn’t sure what I would have the monster say, so mustache seemed appropriate for some reason or another, and thank you for the kind words, it means a lot 🙂
😀 For sticking to your guns you win the prize. I ish going to buy something to help you out. -nods-
also, awesome chapter. Keep it up and stay in there, I will try my best as a fan to support your art because I enjoy it. 🙂
DC, you’re an awesome fan, and thank you for putting up with me 🙂
Thanks, you are an awesome…….damn there isn’t a specific word for people who make comics. Manga writers are mangaka, what are comic writers called??? Anyway, you are probably my favorite artist because you talk to all of us and respond and that is cool. It’s like talking to a celebs. 😀
Fantastic, and I forgive you for your tardiness 😛
Hah, I’m glad to hear it, thank you 🙂
Well I Just Ditto everyone else here Scott. you are running THREE comics, (plus, you know, other responsibilities). was the delay long, sure, am I going to lament, no.
In short, You done good. keep doin the good.
All I can say is, although I was sad for well….almost a month! when I made my daily check through Nerf, Scout, and Moto, and Moto never changed.. (although that last page with templeton is one of my favourite pages in my personal webcomic history), I’m glad that you’ve decided to stick with it!
You can talk to us Scott, We’re your fans (whirring noise) and hey, you give us the entertainment, and we, well, we love it!.
Just for you, I’m going to have to make a paper mache piggybank, fill it with coinstuff, and then smash it open (probably to buy those prints you have on Nerf, as Moto doesn’t have a store yet {secretly prays for a Templeton Print})
END RANT
ps. love Mr. Moustache (is he related to the municorn?)
dude, you make two comics i check updates for daily, even though i know you dont make em that frequently. motokool is something that i look forward to reading, but if it comes down to it, i’d rather you keep your life in check, keep everything straight, and dont over work yourself. 1 comic is to much for some people to do regularly, let alone 3, and yet here you are, constantly pumping out amazing things from that thing inside your head. dont work yourself to death for us dude, we love you, we love your comics, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
also, MUSTACHE!
If your comic’s good enough, people will still check up on it through delays. Obviously it’s good enough, so don’t sweat it too much.
same as the others.Your modesty is so sttrong it could rape bears, but keep in mind you’re doing an supermanly work with all these different styled comics. Motokool is my favourite, and a post a month is enough joy on earth to make us forget life is a rollercoaster middle of a shark pool where coffeinate moustaches compete with shadowy phone opponents.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee *tacklehugs the comic* I missed you so! But no worries man, you work hard and hell it’s your damn comic you can do what you want with it =] (that being said I’m really REALLY glad you decided not to cancel)
It’s absolutely ridiculous to think that we (A) wouldn’t love you still and (B) could honestly not love you.
I don’t even know.
hey dont worry about it, were not going to die! ur comcs are great regardless!
Hey, don’t worry about us. We can take it. 🙂 Keep yourself healthy and happy first and foremost. At the very least we have two other fantastically awesome comics to read in the mean-time. I’m pretty sure most of the folks here feel the same. Keep up the excellent excellent work as long as you can, but we’ll understand if you have to put us on hold.
For future reference, a simple “I’m too busy so this is on indefinite hiatus and may never continue, sorry.” would have been fine.
But whatever, it’s all good. If I were an indie artist-type you’d be like my hero or something. I’m a programmer who intends to become self employed within the next few years (when I get bored working for the small company that currently employs me), so you’re still pretty inspiring.
We’re with you, man
Sweet. Good to have motokool back. I am just dying to see where this goes.
I love Scout Crossing and I REALLY love Nerf This, so of course I will continue to check up on Motokool. I hope it all works out for you.
I hope things work out for you, and I’m really glad you’re continuing this comic. I’m really liking it.
I’m smiling so freaking big right now, it’s actually pretty painful…how big you ask? simply see Mr. mustache for reference.
As an artist, and a procrastinator of both the professional and lazy variety, I feel your pain and have no idea how you manage to keep any of them running as often as you do…I”m pretty sure when I get my web comic started…someday, that it will probably update about as often as only ONE of yours does, so kudos to keeping us so well entertained and taking up 3+ bookmarks on my awesome list.
After the Scout crossing update with the bomb fists. The Nerf this with the “fisting”.
and now this page? You have been upgraded to superhero status. huzaaa!
Your style is very bold- I love it! (Wish I had a better sense of mine these days.)
I asked about Motokool in an SC thread…I am sorry if you felt pressured in any way by my question. Having been an artist once upon a time, I understand the feast/famine cycle pretty well. In my own case, I gave it up (medical illustration) for I.T….ended up being a good switch for me…but it’s not gone entirely. I still play with the wacom now and then. 🙂
I just need a kick ass webcomic idea…yeah…that’s the ticket!
woo update btw gentlemonster without a tie? quite daring arent we ;0)
I’m loving all of these comics! I’m glad you decided to keep going with this one, because, short as it is, it drew me right in on the first page. I’m not (well, I’l try really hard) going to pressure about updates, because 1) I’ve tried doing just comics, and while the idea was loved, I don’t have the patience to draw (I don’t want to be a hypocrite), and 2) You have three comics goin on. I applaud you, my fine, fine gentleman.
Seeing the giant moustache monster made me think of Steve from Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. (Yes, I actually watched that.)
I’m not sure there’s enough of this story yet for me to know whether I like it or not, and I’m certainly not one of the people who’ve been checking in on it—I only just found it a week or so ago.
But I like Nerf This a lot, and I’m thoroughly enjoying Scout, so I’m expecting good things. I think you’re insane to try to do three regularly updating webcomics at once, but if you think you can manage it, more power to you. I will be checking in on Motokool—as well as your other comics—regularly from now on, I can tell you that.
Thanks Souffrir, out of all my comics, Motokool moves the slowest, but I’m going to see if this works out for the better or not, and thank you for the kind words! Once this 1st chapter ends, things should really pick up around here 🙂
MOUSTACHE!!!!!
iv got a monocle
lol, bad Monty!
*skeeee?*
Life happens. I read a lot of comics online and some have petered out and died off. I still check them from time to time, sometimes I’m disappointed, sometimes I’m surprised. Whether or not you continue now, or later, is something you have to decide for YOU. We will all (I hope) support your decision and keep on rooting for you. I don’t check Motokool nearly as often as Nerf This, but I love them both and the art is amazing. Whichever you decide to do, at any time, for anything, has to be best for you. Sometimes it will disappoint people. Maybe make them angry. But you have to come first for YOU.
And sometimes I should also take my own advice too what with rough patches everywhere, but still. There is a light. Just look for it <3
