Hamishmash Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 It was for a "Masquerave" party... as the name implies, a mixture between a Masquerade and a Rave. The girl running it requested Viscount Vanish attended and I made it happen. Qinc and it's characters have been a big thing between me and my friends for years and years. We actually recorded all the dialogue for a first episode as an animated series, not realising how much work that is to not make it look crappy. (No offense Rez, Balls is... lovely.) The reason it's taken so long is because while it might seem like I'm making this up as I go along, Qinc is an epic story with a beginning, middle and end. I wanted to make sure I knew where this was going before I started. This has been quite a lengthy introduction but I assure you next weeks issue will be when things really start happening the adventure, the villains and the secrets behind Vanish and Rubber Johnny really become apparent. I CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU TO SEE THE FINAL, EPIC BATTLE!! Just that I'd be in love if Anonymous masks had everyone wearing egyptian masks rather than V masks. (Obviously that sidesteps the symbolism of it all but that's irrelevant ) As in: Ah I see! Well there's always hope for the future. I look forward to seeing a Ween cosplayer, though their face may get tired from the smiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU TO SEE THE FINAL, EPIC BATTLE!! It sucks when you have a story you want to tell and it has all these amazing parts you know people are going to love... ... And then when you're telling the story you need to actually get to those amazing parts and it feels like everything else is taking forever. I wouldn't worry too much about the introduction being long. I think it's been fine so far. Out of curiosity, how long will Qinc be? I'm guessing you don't know exactly, but do you have a ballpark estimate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamishmash Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 Well every Monday (you might have noticed I've swapped from Sunday to Monday) I'm uploading a few pages (I basically do as many pages as I can while making it feeling like it has a 'final panel' with a little bit of a cliffhanger.) I have the whole story written out in a word document but I haven't divided it yet into issues but if I do it every week it shouldn't last longer than a year.... possibly 6 months. That's the Qinc and the Ramblers of the World storyline. If this DOES prove popular (and I'm VERY bad at spreading the word or getting people interested) I may do a sequel but that's all I'm thinking of at the moment.

Magnus Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Maybe this'll end up being your Tintin! Your rude, foul-mouthed Tintin. At least it should have less racism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamishmash Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 Maybe this'll end up being your Tintin! Your rude, foul-mouthed Tintin. At least it should have less racism. Have you seen my portrayal of an Egyptian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I guess I can see how implying that all Egyptians are homophobic could be offensive. Ah, you could always denounce this story later and blame the racism on the ignorance of youth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamishmash Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 I was thinking more about the burial mask and the fact he still worships Ra the Egyptian God. (Oh my Ra!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I was thinking more about the burial mask and the fact he still worships Ra the Egyptian God. (Oh my Ra!) It's not racist if that's what they're really like. My view of people from Egypt may be slightly influenced by video games and episodes of Saturday morning cartoons where the main characters traveled back in time to ancient Egypt. I look forward to the next Qinc story, where Qinc and Ween will travel to Egypt to teach those savage Egyptians about the civilized ways of the British.

Hamishmash Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 A smiling Darren Criss is all I need to feel like I've accomplished something grand. (He'd probably dig it to be honest, seeing as Qinc takes inspiration from Harry Potter and Tintin. And no, I don't know 101 facts about Darren Criss but it's hard to be on Tumblr AND avoid his fans). Although if you do love it, would any of you try and promote it? I'm pretty shit at self promotion so I'd love you to tell friends about this hilarious new webcomic you're addicted to. Or... something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamishmash Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 Bit of a short one this week, but I can explain. I've thought of readjusting the way I do this. So a few pages every Monday, each one making a Chapter. We have reached the end of Chapter One and Chapter Two will start next week or not... I may take one week off but whatever I do there will be a Qinc thing next week. ANYWAY. All of Chapter One can be found here - http://www.hamishmash.com/qinc1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamishmash Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 (edited) Viscount Vanish (from my web comic, Qinc: Rambler of the World) has made a video to try and get more people to read my new weekly web comic. Chapter 1 is up for your reading pleasure! Please do it. I don’t want Vanish to kill anymore children. (MUSIC BY JONNY VAUGHAN, my friend... and inspiration for Ween (and my vocals).)

Magnus Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Well, since you're behind the mask, I sort of assumed that you knew how to pronounce the name of your own character. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnus Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I'm more surprised that I've been pronouncing YOUR name wrong in my head all this time! :p Me too, but I thought I could avoid making a fool out of myself by pretending that I've always known how to pronounce it.

Hamishmash Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 Is the name Hamish really that uncommon? Because someone on the phone yesterday called me "Ha!-mish" when it's "Hey!-mish" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Is the name Hamish really that uncommon? Because someone on the phone yesterday called me "Ha!-mish" when it's "Hey!-mish" Yeah, that's how I thought it was pronounced as well. I've never met anyone with your name before. I actually thought Hamishmash was just a completely invented screen name until I saw your real name on your website, I think it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamishmash Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 It's Scottish but it's more common in Australia and New Zealand. It's funny because there were 3 Hamishs (including myself) in my house at school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamishmash Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 Poster for the start of the second chapter of my epic comedy web comic, Qinc: Rambler of the World. Come back to this blog next Monday for the opening of "Qinc and the Escape from England". This poster parodies the overly dark and dramatic Harry Potter posters, in particular the ones for "The Half-Blood Prince".

Hamishmash Posted August 7, 2011 Author Share Posted August 7, 2011 CHAPTER TWO! It begins. Sorry for there only being 3 pages, but I'm (understandably) cocentrating on my uni work - the children's book A is for Adventure ( http://www.hamishmash.com/adventure ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
