Tackonauts

tackologo
This is my webcomic.  Making comics is tougher than I thought, but I'm too stubborn to give up halfway through.  As you can see the differences from when I first started Tackonauts, this has been an ever increasing learning curve.  It's a loose lifestyle based comic that I use to tell my great jokes... that have been beaten to death by looking at it as I draw for hours.  My dream is to have a job that can give me the affordability to draw silly cartoons anytime I want!  Help me make it happen!

Hi, I'm Balin and I endorse this beautiful site!  I'm a college graduate who adores making cartoons and think video games are a magnificent tool in telling stories.  I'm aspiring to be a great artist and animator and now programmer.  Currently, I am learning how to design video games!  My first will be an FPS puzzle adventure!  My second, will be turning my father's children's stories into a platformer like Banjo Kazooie or Zelda! That one will be a bit more daring.  It would be the greatest pre...

I love to love comics!  I must admit it's rarely because the story, which is not to say a few don't intrigue me.  I fall in love with the line work, the coloring process, and more potently, the simple style that can draw such emotion!  I try to capture that emotion in Tackonauts.  There are a few artists who do Comic comics that I like, such as Teen Titans Go's Ben Bates.  Atomic Robo's Scott Wegener,  Sky Doll's Barbucci & Canepa, Very Near Mint's Justin Peterson, and many more (wow that's ...

Wanna see me in action?! Visit MrBalinTV and see what games I'm playing, art I'm drawing, animations, and soon... hosting Dungeons & Dragons campaigns!  It took me forever to figure out that I can easily share the treasured moments I find in gaming and art with anyone I like, no matter how far they are.  Playing video games has always been a great way for me to get people together and that's what I hope to aspire here at MrBalinTV.  I'll post reviews about the games I've played by text or Vl...

Thanks for visiting my site!  I'm aspiring to become a full fledged Video-game Developer, Cartoonist, Programmer, Author, Narrator, Youtube Host, 3d Modeler, and Steam Curator.  Boy that's a lot of hats...  but I love every minute I spend on it!  I decided to make this site to jumpstart myself into the habit of documenting my progress and showing (FINISHING) my projects.
