Good morning! Page 5-21 is go!

I felt like doing something a little different (within reason) so the next couple of pages here are going to be watercolored. It’s my comic and I’ll do what I want. >( No, seriously, the next bits are supposed to be a little blurry and I like to illustrate those kinds of parts with watercolor. This is trivia, I guess. Although I don’t do it as consistently as I’d like.

Book progress is moving along slowly this week, although it is moving. Got a bunch of work done on page layouts and some illustration work for one of the bonus comics done, so that’s a plus. Right now I’m comparing printers, but it looks like I’m probably going to stick with lulu for now because it seems to be the best quality and price with the least financial investment from me (because I am broke). More details as they come.

Here are some other cool things for the moment:

  • A new forum, if you’ve ever felt like using such a thing.
  • I added a link in my links section to Demon Eater, which is a really neat little comic.
  • IT’S SATURDAY AT LAST YESSSSS
  • I got a haircut. Yay.
  • The next update is all set to go because I managed to get ahead somehow? Go me.
  • There is a new free download from Nine Inch Nails, if you’re into that kinda thing. I love free music, and when it’s free NIN that’s even better. Trivia: my iPod is never without a little Trent. Om nom.
  • I still can’t decide if the Battlestar Galactica finale was satisfying or not. It tied things up but. Baaaawwwww. Now what am I going to watch?

It’s getting nice out again and all I want to do is pack up the car and go on a roadtrip. Around this time last year I was on a twelve-hour drive to Chicago and it was some of the most fun I’ve ever had. There’s no better way to get to know someone than to drive across four states with them. I miss that.

So with that, I’m out. More in a day or two.

Vote if you can! <3

I have added a forum to the site for interested persons to add their comments/thoughts/questions/complaints/etc. Also I will be using part of it to keep track of details related to the book and other things. Also, it might be fun.

The last time I had one installed about two years ago maybe? Was an exercise in failure. In a lot of ways.

Let’s make this work this time.

I forgot all about this until I found it on my desktop just a bit ago, but a few weeks ago I filmed some of the process of making a comic page. This is part of the sketch process and almost all of the inking process for page 5-18 from this chapter. I’m working on another short video of one of the upcoming pages, so that should go up sooner or later as well. This isn’t like a “how to” or anything, just for fun. I am pretty much not an expert at anything, especially illustration or inking with a brush. I just find these kind of videos fun to watch because I am boring. 😀

Meanwhile, back to prepping the next update…
