Page description:
Tanks and their crews wait in the desert under a hot sun while the colonel in charge of an Imperial Crimean heavy armoured cavalry training battalion gives them a last minute briefing just as they're about to set off. Pinky is bored and not in the mood to listen� -Narration is provided by Pinky.
Commentary:
This tale relates an earlier time in Pinky's history, a few years before the story that's just finished. It's based on a short story I wrote about a year or so ago. As I've said previously, these tanks are based on the German Panzer IV, but modified as I've seen fit. The camouflage is different to the cover pic because that was an old painting and I couldn't be buggered changing it to match this page.
This pic was going to be a simple comic style affair, but I couldn't help myself, so it ends up detailed and painted like usual. Tanks are a pain to paint though: You simply cannot make them painterly, the surfaces have to look flat or they don't look right. -_-
(Unless they're meant to be dirty, which these were not)
Extra!
*Ok, My idea is to update every Wednesday, all nice and regular… Like Pinky TA used to be in the past.
*Pink skin has updated, check it out.
*Pinky TA updated yesterday as well, with a cover page!

Pinky reads my mind! Of course it's boring, it's military mumbo jumbo talkalot speechification. Lame. The camel decal is a great symbol of what that tank signifies.

haha, classic Pinky.

Late replies: [b]Adariel[/b]- oh yeah. Well, Pinky doesn't like it. ^^ [b]Bobobobobobobo[/b]- Thanks! There's no airconditioning in those things either :S [b]Gillsing[/b]- Heya man! Glad you're back again ^^ Yeah, I'm going to really try and do a regular thing this time. [b]Ham[/b]- Hahaha, well I'm going to try my hardist! [b]Kall[/b]- Ha! I caught up on you! Hmmm, that's a really good idea... You wouldn't want to try and sell to countries that'd been invaded though, then it'd work against you pretty badly, hahahaha! [b]Nick![/b]- And another after this one! ^_^ [b]Silus[/b]-Ye-haa! Yeah, comics are more fun. Well, drawing and painting pictures is more fun ^^ Glad to hear from you man ^_^

must be some scorching heat

Nice tanks! Looks really hot out there

Well, what do you know? There WERE some updates here after all. And they (kind of) begun shortly after I decided to not check every week too. But this way I got to watch all three epilogues in a row, so there's that. Cool ending for that storyline I must say. And this new thing looks great, just like we're used to. Love those tank tracks in the lower left corner. So Wednesdays you say? I'll be reading. :-)

Yay! One of the best moments in Drunkduck, Pinky is back! And what? regular updates?? Whoaaa. Love the dialogue, I can so relate to these thoughts. Blah blah blah... :D

very nice page. the camel logo on the back of pinky's tank makes me think of product placement. i figure its only a matter of time before corporations start to sponsor wars and suddenly there are aircraft carriers with the coca-cola logo on the side and pizza hut brand apaches... not that that has much to do with this page, just what popped into my head, heh.
Nick at 6:19PM, Nov. 3, 2006
Oo another page!: )
silus at 2:36PM, Nov. 2, 2006
Hooray! Back to the comics! THE COMICS!

[b]Darkmax[/b] Thanks man! ^^ [b]Kyupol[/b], thanks for your support! [b]Sub[/b], Thanks Sub! What makes you think she even has any... ^_^ You're right though, that would've been cool. [b]Sarah![/b]- Hahahaha, I wish I could send you some of that warmth! [b]Zac[/b]-Great new avatar man! You're on my list for catching up. ^^ Thanls man. [b]Alej-ghengis-khan[/b]- Tabkaurs? what what what? hahahaha! Thanks! Nooo, that's not Cc yet. [b]Mazooo[/b]-nah, those are feathers. You can see Pinky's desert uniform [b][url=http://www.nightgig.com/ozonex/image_pages/pinky_art/tropopinky.htm]here[/url][/b] ^_^ Humid heat and dry heat, you're right, they're twin devils!
Darkmax at 12:28PM, Nov. 2, 2006
WoW Stunning
subcultured at 10:34AM, Nov. 2, 2006
cool, yer art is back. sharp as ever. the one thing that could have spiced up this page would be pinky's panties as a flag on the tank.
SarahN at 1:01AM, Nov. 2, 2006
Looking at this page, it looks very hot....it's a nice atmosphere since it's so freakin' cold where I'm at. XP
Zac at 11:33PM, Nov. 1, 2006
I love the subtle humor in Pinky. This is a great first page to a new chapter. Oh, Pinky I'm excited about this chapter
alejkhan at 10:49PM, Nov. 1, 2006
HAHA! This is great. It looks like Pinky and CC(?) are like centaurs, only maybe tankaurs.... And I drool over the glorious colors making them dilute and melt away. That's how wonderful it is.
Mazoo at 5:54PM, Nov. 1, 2006
Pinky's such a wise-ass. But I suppose that's why we all love her so much. Is that a little fluff of hair poking out of the top of her turban? Haha! The heat sounds like the heat in Phoenix, Arizona. I visited my mom's boyfriend's parents there a couple of years ago and it was [i]unbearable[/i]. Humid heat and the super-dry heat are the worst kinds of heat there are, although I'm not sure there are any more different kinds of heat. ...cold weather is better.

[b]Hero[/b] Ack, sorry hero missed ya! Thanks.
Ozoneocean at 5:21PM, Nov. 1, 2006
[b]Joff[/b]- cool. [b]Biggestfish[/b]ha! You don't have to read the whole thing, it can be pretty dull, honestly ^_^ [b]Jenshin[/b]- I really dunno... When I was younger I liked drawing tanks and things, but now I find is a real pain in the arse actually... You have to KNOW what machines look like in 3D and how they work in order to draw and write about them. That's not fun, let me tell you. But the story calls for it, so in it goes and I do the work to [i]make[/i] it work! It's a case of having a "cool" idea and then regretting it. Frequently [b]Insane![/b], Thankyou ^_^ [b]Simon[/b]- hehehehe, what were you doing there? ^^ Yeah, the desert heat can be oppressive... My only experience is the deserts of Australia, and that's bad enough for me. Aussie deserts are all dark red though, like old blood. [b]Kamio![/b], thanks for the support man! [b]Coy!![/b]- heya Coy! A vain disagreeable character like Pinky definitely doesn't take to such things ^_^ It reminds me a bit of a time at a riding school long ago... (I've told this story before), there were all were sitting on our horses under a merciless backing hot sun, having to sit still and do nothing as we listened to our riding instructor. And for some reason I was dressed head to toe in black: long black riding boots, tight black jods, black polo shirt, black velvet covered riding helmet, even a black tie in my hair and a black watchband. That stuff soaked up the rays even more, I was swimming in sweat... I was stupid. But it was worse when we were riding around doing the exercises for the rest of the day. [b]Spazzolio[/b]- thanks for the support man. [b]Le-Farce[/b]-you name looks like leatherface to me and I can't help thinking of the Texas Chainsaw massacre ^_^ It will be, an epic SAGA! [b]Magicalmanic[/b]- thanks for the support ^^

(cough) I really need to read through the archives of this comic... oh so pretty though!
Jenshin at 10:12AM, Nov. 1, 2006
The pale yellow makes it really look hot. Do you particularly like drawing machines and boats and things or do you just do it for the sake of the comic?
insanelysane at 6:27AM, Nov. 1, 2006
whoa. O_O amazing details..
simonitro at 6:20AM, Nov. 1, 2006
This page does remind me back when me and my friends (in Kuwait) in the desert. Damn, that was like hell (Don't ask why we did it? Because we were idiots and young) Aaanyway... the atmosphere you're giving is nice,,, it is too nice that is suffocating me for some reason remember that darn heat back then. He he he!
