I finally got around to editing the video that I recorded when drawing “The Host’s Lament” back in June. If you wanted to know more about what goes into the process of making an HE comic, here’s the 6 hour process condensed to 10 minutes.

All the music in the background is by Spiraling.

Finally! In this return of the HE Experiment Video Blog I catch you up on The Experiment, Donations, The Store and the recent shirt woes. I ran out of time at the end and looked like a doofus. Enjoy.

I’ve said it before, but HijiNKS Ensue Readers are the coolest motherfuckers this side of the internet.

I’d noticed some nefarious plans taking shape on this thread in the Fancy Bastard Forum, but it wasn’t until tonight that I realized plot had come to fruition and it was already too late for us all.

I present to you newest applicant to the Evil League of Evil, THE RECLUSE!

FB’s will recognize the Feisty Fiddling Recluse as Tindomiel from the forum and comments. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that everyone else in the video was a Fancy Bastard:

Corporal Punishment, founding member of the hero team Shine Junkies – Sean
Nude Knight, former member of Shine Junkies – Dramthevirgin
Kid Kosmic, former member of Shine Junkies – Eddie
Null, former employer of the Recluse – Sean (again)
Oscar the dachshund – himself

Additional HE nods are peppered through out the video (a fallen hero named “Rainbow Grizzly” getting the “Godspeed, You Fancy Bastard” salute, the desktop on The Recluse’s PC and the Super Villain team name “The Shine Junkies” which is an anagram for… something)

So, please support your fellow Evil FB’s and watch the video, rate it, leave positive comments, link to it and send it to your friends. The winners, chosen by Bad Horse himself, will appear in the extras on the Doctor Horrible DVD.

Regarding Tindomiel’s performance, I am THOROUGHLY impressed to say the least. She exhibits dangerous levels of musical baddassery which is my favorite kind of badassery. Plus a chance for anything HE related to appear on a Dr. Horrible DVD is super awesome bonus tits. Regardless of the outcome, I am very proud of you guys. We are all evil winners!

Free video streaming by Ustream

It seems the video from the party IS on Ustream, just not in an official capacity. You can view it now, but I can’t save it or see it in my dashboard. It’s magic, so watch it while you can.

I’ve emailed them, but I dont expect a response.

Since today’s comic is going to be super late, I thought I would test out live streaming the creation of said comic.  You can watch the stream here.

As I mentioned, we’ll be doing our first video broadcast tonight via Ustream.tv (www.Ustream.tv/hijinksensue)

Starting around 6pm(ish) central time we’ll be broadcast the recording of HijiNKS Ensue Podcast #17. 

Please log in to the chat to let us know if it works (the video is good, the audio is working, etc). If this works out, and you guys like it we’ll make it a regular thing.

After the Podcast is over, we’ll be streaming the rest of the party. Basically I’m going to sit the laptop on the counter and leave it running all night. There’s a chat room with the videocast, but I can’t promise someone will be paying attention to it all night.

This time I plan to record (archive) the podcast on Ustream, but the audio version will still be available as always.

I hope to see at least a few Fancy Bastards tuning in for the show and the party.

-Joel

“The Cost of Doing Business”

Part of my Video Blog where I record the trials and tribulations of trying to make a living from my webcomic. The end goal is to create a road map for creative people to earn an honest living from their creativity.

This one is about mainstream artists and others that subscribe to the same philosophy as “The Experiment.”

A glimpse into some of the initial mistakes I made with the first round of shirts. Nothing negative. Just learning from, and trying not to repeat them.
