If you bothered to look at my gallery recently you've probably seen this new series of comics called The Mates. The reason I created it was because I was desperate to just draw something. I'm currently on the last semester of university and all my projects are very time consuming.
Lacking the time to create almost anything at all I decided to doodle some comics. The idea had already been boiling on my head for some time, create a comic that would be very simple graphicaly so that I could focus more on the script. I also set a goal of two comics per week, updating on wednesdays and saturdays, forcing me to think on gags, jokes, punchlines and funny situations on a regular basis.
In order to do that I needed something wich I could work with ad the first thing that came to my mind were my friends. We always have so much fun when we're going out, specially when we're mocking each other. So, I used that as base to create 4 main characters that are always having fun and mocking each other! Brilliant huh? Also, they share some characteristics with me and my friends. I say some because none of my friends collects porn like Alex (not as far as I know anyway).
In the end this "project" has two purposes, relieving stress and making me a better comic artist.
