A Dark Night Before Xmas - Dark MsStress Special installment (2002)

Tis the season!

During the webcomics original run, Dark MsStress had a lot of fun with a few special holiday installments. Each year for 4 years she had taken on Christmas classics Dark MsStress style with satires ranging from 'The Twelve Days of Christmas', to (my personal favorite...) Charlie Brown. 

'A Dark Night before Xmas' was the first Dark MsStress holiday special installment originally posted in 2002. Even though I'm pretty sure I was using Poser 4 at the time, I think the renderings still hold up today. I like the writing as well...So much so my next machinima comic movie will be based on this classic comic. So keep a look out for the new movie soon. But until then, enjoy the original 'Dark MsStress  - A Dark Night Before Xmas'.

Dark MsStress - 'The Ani-MsStress' (2003)

I was following a thread over at the TG Comics forum regarding 'too much Poser art' and not enough traditional 'hand drawn art'.

While I do agree Poser graphics are a bit overused in this genre, and seeing whatever the current DAZ models of 'Mike & Victoria' all over the place does make a lot of artists contributions look the same.
The issue with a few artists seemed to be about rendering in poser takes less time than free hand drawing. I haven't rendered in Poser in years... But, I do remember leaving poser running overnight to render complicated scenes when I was working on the Dark MsStress comic.

Perhaps the latest versions of poser and DAZ render faster now than when I was using them but, I've been drawing pretty much since the age of 4. I have a degree in comic art & illustration, and for me personally... I could draw a page by hand (pencils & inks) in half the time it would take me to render all the panels in poser.

Dark MsStress was always an experimental project for me. Not only did I learn 3D art while creating it... A few times I went back and did illustrated installments, utilizing various styles and giving nods to favorite influences just for fun, and to keep things interesting. I remember my readers reactions, a few telling me they liked the drawn art better than my 3D graphics... and yea! They should!... I've been doing it longer, and that's what I've done professionally since before graduating art school.

Now with the machinima, Dark MsStress has yet another form of media to represent her story...
And that's really the key.. 'Story'.
It really doesn't matter what medium an artist chooses to tell a story... as long as the story is clear, and engages the viewer.

I would suggest that more artists (not only in the TGTF community) experiment with other mediums & styles to broaden their range. I'm a storyteller, so even if you took my computers away from me... I can still produce something with a pencil and a pad.

We're living in a great age... So many options... I can draw on my ipad with my finger with some incredible apps.

With that said.... Here's a fun 2 page hand drawn Dark MsStress special I did back in 2003 called 'The Ani-MsStress' which was a nod to some of the Anime, & Manga styles that influenced The Matrix.
I remember doing this very quickly, and assembling the sketches into panels in photoshop.

Originally posted July 2002, here is the next 3 page installment of the original Dark MsStress webcomic series. Here the Mistress begins the training of her new girls, the former gang members she had encountered in the subway.

Question: How many of you have these pages already? If you do,... did you save them from the original site back in the day, or did you upload them from another source..like megaupload?

How many are seeing them for the first time?
