SO...
Today was my 18th birthday. You know what that means.
Or not. But I got a new Wacom Intuos 4 tablet and my Photoshop back! Yay, I can arts again maybe!

Good thing I didn’t know I’d have to buy a license to continue using Paint Tool SAI! Of course it’s not really free!
Wasn’t the only way I was getting comics done or anything! TWITCH.

Last thing, I promise!
I posted a journal update on DA a couple days ago and forgot to put it here as well. Oopsie~
Mostly I’m just rambling about comics I’m reading, stuff about Ensanguine, and how shit be doing in my life right now. Click through to read more! :P
Ayooo. So half of my senior year is finally over as of last week, and while things are still needlessly stressful, I think more of my time...

I’m suppose to be studying for midterms…
Oh my, how did The Great Gatsby for NES arrive on my computer screen? Guess I’ll have to play it for three hours.

Sometimes I finish a picture and am actually proud of my artwork.
Then I remember Tom Preston gets paid to make his.
More webcomic names...
I’ve kinda figured out a central theme for part two, but I’m stuck between two names now:
SANGFROID- Literal meaning “Cold blood” in French, usually used in reference to courage or self-composure but my focus is primarily on the literal meaning. It looks really cool to me in writing, but the pronunciation is a little hard to grasp: I thought it sounded the way it...

Got my new laptop!
Guess what I named it!
I have everything set up except Photoshop and Microsoft office. I might have to wait til my birthday to get those, since my desktop computer is still functioning enough that I can use that. In the mean time, I downloaded Paint Tool Sai and have been trying to learn how to use it (despite it’s lacking many of my basic comic making necessities.) It’s not too...
Sweet Lord.
I’m getting a new laptop tomorrow to take with me to college, so I’ve been cleaning out my current computer to hand it off to my mom. It’s taking forever, but some of the shit I’m finding, circa 2007 and 2008… there are no words.
Naturally, all the old art is hilarious.
But my favorite has to be the text documents. I found a sketchy notepad file just labeled...

No update tomorrow.
I’m more upset about this than I should be, but I seriously just need to let myself breathe for a second. I still feel like a bum, despite updating my comic more often than most… I’ve been very stressed and the last thing I wanna think about right now is making comics. I promise this won’t happen too often. ): Perhaps I’ll post the page up during the weekend.

Updates and other such jawn.
Sup bitches.
I realize I haven’t been posting every NA update here, but I figure doing so hasn’t brought me much more traffic and it’s not like I update erratically anyway. I’ve been stupidly busy the past couple of weeks, as I expected would be the case being as the closer it gets to Christmas break, the more schoolwork/projects the teachers pile on. That, on top of...

Man, where does the time go? Already freaking December! Man. D: The site’s currently in a down phase as my advertising budget’s run out again and I need to wait for certain sites to approve etc etc. In theory, based on my buffer, I should really only have a little over 120 pages left of New America. I’m gonna try to sketch them...

"Afin de se Souvenir" ~Would it be in poor taste...
…Seeing as I’m an American of dominantly German heritage who’s only been learning french for four years and am mostly motivated by my love for The Little Prince? I mean, it wouldn’t be totally pointless, as the character that is the center of the whole story is french and explicitly so, but I don’t know— feels similar to naming your manga “Kawaii Sakura...

Guy should really listen to Artie, he has notable swagger with the ladies. And trees? Remember when I use to actually use real French? Lololol, GTs man, GTs. I have a 99 average in my Honors French class right now, yet I have no a clue how to form coherent sentence, so this is what you get. :] Anyways, I was glad to see that NA’s reached...

Happy Thanksgiving to my readers in the states! Been working this week on the NA sequel, evidence of this can be found throughout this account. I think I’m finally settled with a name, but I still need time to warm up to it. Anyway, hope everyone has a great weekend!

Just had a stroke of inspiration--
What do you guys think of this as a title for my webcomic project? It’s fairly broad and it applies better to the main character, and obviously I don’t have to worry about copyright like with the previous selection…
(I don’t know anything about typography, so forgive me if this makes any art students cringe…)

With Regard to my Last Post
It occurs to me that I probably wouldn’t be able to use “Waiting Hands on Eyes” as my comic’s title because song lyrics are under copyright. Which wouldn’t matter normally, but I wouldn’t want it to become an issue if I ever had plans to publish/sell my work in the future. SIGH, back to square one…
I don’t know how copyrighted four words could...

NAMING A WEBCOMIC [aka wishing I was more...
I’ve been thinking of renaming this blog because I might wanna use the name for my upcoming comic project (which is basically the sequel to New America but a thousand times more important). I’m not sure yet, seeing as I always get super excited about a name but then I wake up the next morning and feel like it’s a stupid idea. I’m really bad with naming my stories, if...

Hey guys. Sorry that this page isn’t very visually appealing, I had the worst time with the coloring and I think the paneling might be a little off. I’m trying. :[ I’m a much less stressed out now, since I’ve been accepted to my first college! :D So maybe I can do a bunch of pages this weekend without feeling like a ball...

I’ve got a lot of chapter ten already planned out, but I’ve been killing myself trying to fit drawing them into my schedule. :( We have some new readers as of the past two weeks, so that’s helped to keep me motivated. Hey guys! :D Keep the feedback up, it’s really been helpful!

I think maybe I fudged up here with making these scenes cohesive. I was trying to convey that Guy’s life is flashing before his eyes as he runs, though fairly certain he’s going to be killed- but I don’t know, reading it now I kinda feel like it’s failing to make sense. :/ Oh well.

The "George" Dilemma
I sketched this picture of George in PaintTool SAI this evening while testing it out for the first time. This is probably one of the first times I’ve ever been happy with a picture I drew of him.
I never knew why It was so hard to depict him until just now, when I had a rather humorous revelation…
You see, as I’ve specified on several occasions, George is my favorite—...

I’mmmm getting tired of drawing all these Rubre. I’ve plagued myself with my own creation. I’m realizing now that I made Guy’s mom look like Magnice. Just to clarify, I’m not trying to imply there’s any relation, I just had a brain fart on that one. There has been implied relation before with other characters,...

Yesss, I’m finally done chapter nine in the buffer (though it shouldn’t be ending in the online pages until the first week of January. Crazy!) It’s been a great chapter for improvement, but God, toward the end it was getting pretty tiring drawing the same four characters over and over. :/ I’m really excited to begin the...

Almost posted this on my reblog account, lolololol *dies*
250 pages, yeahhh buddy! Guess it’s more like 300 pages on account of those 50 pages I scrapped, but regardless, it amazes me everyday that I’m still doing this. That sounds horrible, but it’s really true. I was once completely horrible at finishing projects. Now New...

Okay, so as I said, I’ve been working to get five pages done by Wednesday, and so far I’ve gotten three finished, so I’d say I’m on track. Don’t know how long I’ll be able to keep this up, but I want to be able to make a big enough buffer so that when I finally do finish New America, (should be ending with...

Do I smell a bromance…?
Ahh, I was really bad this week. Thought I had my inspiration back but it’s left me once again. I’m hoping that having a four day weekend will motivate me to build my buffer back up. I’m challenging myself to get five pages done before the end of the month. c:
