Here is page two of Treasures of Eastern Estuary!
While Daifuku can never kill another living creature, she still has a reputation to uphold to her overbearing family. That is all about to shatter when she decides to return what was stolen to their rightful owners…
And first on her list is…?
Goldarnit, why can’t this be a daily comic…I’m in so much suspense.
Awesome stuff, btw
Thank you!
And the reason is it takes a good 9-10 hours per strip and I have a day job to deal with!
damn so much damn suspence!, to bad money cant grow on tree’s….
( yes I tried planting money before )
Haha, no, for the first time money isn’t an issue – time is!
Also thanks for commenting!
We could try planting a watch?
I would eat time apples like I breathe air.
Can I donate anyway? Though I don’t see a button for it anywhere :/
That’s because I don’t take donations! I want you to enjoy the comic for free!
If I get round to making a book or T-Shirts then by all means buy them!
Another great comic as usual! Too bad they only come once a week because I’m in suspense! However, if it takes a week to deliver such greatness then I’ll take it! After all, perfection takes time.
I wouldn’t call it perfection – but I am pretty strict about what passes as looking okay. Sometimes certain layouts take a good 2-3 scrapped ideas to get right – the two-panel shot of the sword being an example…
Thanks for the comment!
Oh goodness me, this story’s quickly getting interesting~! And the backgrounds are lovely on this page too~
Yeah the backgrounds are what is killing my wrist trying to keep all the lines straight and shit.
Also thanks!
I love how you did the torch flame
Thanks! I coloured inside the original flame’s outline with a red/orange/yellow gradient, then added a new layer set to Luminosity. After that, I made a large orange blob on the new layer then cut away at it with the eraser at 75% hardness.
You don’t take commissions do you? I’m not sure I can handle much longer without Shelbie!
WHATAMIGOINGTODOTO?
(Enjoying this arc, keep it coming <3)
Unfortunately I have no time for commissions…But! if the Facebook page gets 800 Likes there is going to be something Shelbie-related coming out!
it’s a nude picture, isn’t it?
O-one can only hope?
The One thing, I never got in cartoon is using Ketchup for fake blood cause there’s two key factors that make Ketchup utterly Useless for being use as fake blood.
First off Ketchup usually has not strong but, definable odor and, secondly the Viscosity.
“Tomato ketchup is a pseudoplastic — or “shear thinning” substance — which can make it difficult to pour from a glass bottle. Often, the neck of the bottle will appear to be blocked. A common method to getting ketchup out of the bottle involves inverting the bottle and shaking it or hitting the bottom with the heel of the hand, which causes the ketchup to flow rapidly. A technique known widely among caterers involves inverting the bottle and forcefully tapping its upper neck with two fingers (index and middle finger together). Specifically, with the Heinz ketchup product, one taps the 57 circle on the neck. This helps the ketchup flow by applying the correct shearing force. These techniques work because of how pseudoplastic fluids behave: their viscosity (resistance to flow) decreases with increasing shear rate. The faster the ketchup is sheared (by shaking or tapping the bottle), the more fluid it becomes. After the shear is removed the ketchup thickens to its original viscosity.”
therefore all that Ketchup would leave a strong enough odor that alert everyone that there’s Ketchup in the room. That silhouetted guy know this fact, and that’s why his throne room doubles as a pantry.
Uh.
While some aspects of Crazy Sunshine are fairly deep, I’m gonna have to say that for this particular page “It’s just a comic”.
I…I never really thought into it that much!
Um…
Actually I kinda knew that wouldn’t think that deep into it for Ketchup gag. I just wanted to make a Completely Random ass rant, right before my actual statement which is ”
Why does Boss have Sandwich ingredients a couple feet away from them. Are they going call a Minion over to make them a Sandwich?” or “does he have a servant make a Mission Complete Sandwiches for Everyone, whenever, Daifuku finishes a Mission.”
If it’s any consolation, it’s only implied that she used Ketchup. Maybe she used “real” fake blood and it’s just the Ketchup bottle just happens to be in a spot with good lighting.
Or maybe the boss-type person has a poor sense of smell/sight.
On the subject, I see bread there. Does she use that sword to make sandwiches? Perhaps drink the “blood of her enemies” in a nice BLT.
Blood Lust Tomato sandwich?!
Don’t you know JKun Its only the Second Best Flavor of Sandwiches right behind the Triple BBB Baconator (A BLT that replaces LT With Bacon, and more Bacon, within Barbecue sandwich with in a Bacon and, French Beard Sandwich.):D YUMM!
I would kill for some real bacon.
Real Bacon?
Jkun most likely only has access to/can afford soy or some sort of off-type bacon product.
This. There is an american army base about 4 hours away that stocks foreign food but going there is scary as hell.
How is it Scary as hell, like is it un-fucking-believable traffic Scary or, is it uncomfortably awkwardness among American Soldiers, or is it both?
Clever, I didn’t think of those two Factors. Also I never heard of spreading Ketchup like butter onto a Piece of Beard, that’s just absolutely Outrageous.
It is the way of ninja sandwich making. One must learn to control their condiments to the fullest to achieve sandwich making perfection. A properly executed reuben-no-jutsu can kill a man standing with deliciousness (pardon my spelling, foreign words are hard to spell check).
Damn Son, That brings a whole new meaning to “Bitch, make me, a sandwich.” Where can I learn the Ninjutsu art of Sandwich Making?
Hidden deep in the mountains lies a mystic sandwich shop run by an old master well versed in the ways sandwich making. To even be considered to be trained, one must finish eating a sandwich prepared by the master without going into a sandwich coma. Those who pass must then rigorously train in the way sandwich ingredients and preparation to hone their skills to absolute perfection.
Admittedly the shop has seen better days. Not a lot of people go wandering around searching for hidden sandwich shops in the mountains this day and age.
All these sandwich stories are seriously making me hungry. One day I’ll post a picture of my home made sandwiches…!
I just realized that aside from cereal, I’ve pretty much been eating only sandwiches for the past 3 days straight. This is completely unintentional but awesome and delicious nonetheless.
Well time for me to go on Amazing Journey to find this Mystical Sandwich Shop, and learn and Master, the Old Master Sandwich Maker Ninjutsu Art of Sandwich Making.
I’m in so much suspense. I can’t wait for the next comic.
Thanks! Hope you keep coming back!
i must say i am smitten with this new girl. i await more.
I can’t wait to show you more!!
I just realized after re-reading the last comic that thus far no girl in this comic wears a bra.
Just food (sandwiches in particular) for thought.
You are sort of correct. They wear nu bra.
http://www.nubra.net/shop/nubra_self_adhesive-1-prd1.htm
Well played good sir. I should have said “no bra” to allow for a good pun.
Oh. I thought you did.
Derp.
Ok, this is getting interesting.
Yay I have your approval! I hope it keeps getting more interesting!
First time reading through. Absolutely love the artwork and cutesy sexyness of the strip. Good job!XD
All right! Thanks so much for commenting! I also see you have a 2GAG avatar – SOMEONE has a good taste in webcomics!
Tell your friends!
Seen him around Go Get A Roomie also. Good taste indeed!
If you’re lookin for another good daily then check out sinfest.net
I will take a while to get caught up with the randomness as it started in 2001 and posts every day. And of course I have good tastes, It’s Roomie after all…
4322 Pages so far O_O oh damn you’ve just doomed me to some seriously bloodshot eyes.. crud
Lol, Enjoy
I’m liking the idea of ketchup there. So simple, yet pretty convincing.
Doesn’t work irl though, sadly.
It’s a comic. In comics, ketchup always works.
Hmmm ketchup-blood, yeah, the good old cartoon trick. Reminds me on this one live role play con, those two guys tried to convince me that ketchup is better “blood” then those theater blood. Long story, short tell, these guys applied some ketchup as blood on themself and boy, the whole five con-day they stank like a opposum drenched in sewer water. XD
Back to the strip, awesomesauce i´d say good sir.^^ We got a nice little fanservice here :3, some new background about Daifuku-chan there and a reason to stay tuned for the next strip via the “Found you.” in 4. Oh, and i know many said it before me but the effect of the torch is a great eyecatcher.
Thanks!! What a lovely comment. Also, I really have never smelled ketchup after it’s gone “off”…it can last or week or months in the fridge…but after your description – I honestly would never wanna sniff it D:!
Sword with sauce. Nice for giant kebabs
Aw man now I want a kebab, not a sandwich…
Just found this comic today, and I ADORE it. I just went through the archives, and I laughed pretty hard xD
I wish it was a daily comic, even though I know that’s not possible…
Hey – thanks for reading! I’m sorry about not being a daily comic – but there’s always something going on on Twitter/Facebook/Tumblr, so add me up!
The First page of this arc was title the Seed of Doubt, this one was title the Webs of lies, So the third page will be title Cow of Deception, right Jkun?
Too soon. Next is probably a Mitten of Deceit or a Shoe of Obfuscation. It’ll be a while before we work our way up to a cow.
Man these are some amazing ideas for upcoming strips…!
Damn your right, it too soon for “Cow of Deception” that title is level 8 title, at the very least. Where “a Mitten of Deceit’ and “a Shoe of Obfuscation”, are level 3 & 4 respectably.
With all these awesome names you guys are just gonna be disappointed when the real comic comes out…! D:
Is that strawberry mermelade? :B
(I know it’s ketchup, but the tomato on the front looks a little bit like a strawberry) XD
Aha actually it could go either way. Usually Jam/Marmalade would be in a jar though. I have yet to see Jam in a plastic squeezy bottle. Now, THAT would be an invention. I would eat it straight from the bottle!
