WHY MUST THERE BE SO MANY AMAZING THINGS I WANT TO PURCHASE WHEN I AM A RESPONSIBLE ADULT AND SPEND ALL OF MY HARD EARNED MINIMUM WAGE ON STUDENT LOANS AND CREDIT CARD BILLS?!
Really I am so behind on my comic book purchases that it’s almost an insult.
Back to drawing… le sob.
I’m very interested in the Kickstarter project and setting one up for Frame by Frame since it’s so close to completion. But a big part of me is all hesitant because of nerves and a couple other things. I worry that I’d be disappointed if I didn’t make my donation amount and I don’t want that to interfere with me finishing the book. But a bigger part of me just feels I should at least try it; who knows in this day and age!
Another thing is a lot of the Kickstarter projects have awesome videos with them. Good lord, I nearly failed my video class and I barely have the time to do an animation or anything of that nature these days. I wonder if I could still show a successful project without a video.
I feel I could be really successful with my comics and my art if I wasn’t so nervous. I really need to be more adventurous and just jump into it. Why must I have that fear of failure!
Hey look it does look better after I inked it! Of course my stupid scanner is just a tad too small for it. Figures. Oh to have an 11x17 scanner. One day, some day I suppose. Anyway, here’s the line-art for the painting. I’ll be adding washes and other doo-dads to it and scan it to its full glory when it’s done.
An obvious work in progress for a series of paintings I’ll be doing for my art book and hopefully to make a poster out of. Murphey from Silent Hill Downpour. It’s the one I’m currently playing so why not! It’s fresh in my mind.
Oh-no-melon's Sky Avenue: ART BOOK -
Having a mild dilemma. I decided that one of the things I sell next year at the convention I’m going to will be some mini art books. I want to start planning some art for it, both original pieces and fan based, but I honestly don’t know what to put in it. I don’t want to put in things that I don’t…
If I was going to put original and fan based work in a book I would do something with stories. Like for example, if a read The Raven, I would put my own unique twist on who you think the characters are, this creating a brand new character or story. Do you kind of understand where I’m going with this? I think it would be good if you picked things you are a big fan of and just make fan art of it but then also make something entirely your own that can still tie in with the fan art. Without making it look like you’re jumping from point A to Point B to Point Z.
At least that is what I would do. I hope it kind of helps.
I think that’s a really good idea! Unless it involves me creating fan characters for a fandom I enjoy. Believe it or not, I’m absolutely terrible at doing that. But I do like the concept of taking something and sort of making it my own; I guess kinda like what I did with Sky Avenue. I think that’s very doable but I just need more of what I like to put in. That’s where I’m drawing blanks. I like so few fandoms these days. I could name all my majors on one hand and those are either very obscure or over a decade old. I like brainstorming which is why I had the ask. I’ve gotten a couple new ideas which is awesome :)

I don’t want to put in things that I don’t like or aren’t into just because they’re popular (a good example of this is MLP. It’s cute but I’m not that huge a fan?) So I have some ideas already but not enough. What do you guys think? Throw some stuff at me; who knows, I may have just forgotten something that I wanted to include but didn’t. I do that sometimes!
Any suggestions would be super helpful!
Did a warm up piece of Ponyo. In my style.
Don’t think it turned out quite as well as I wanted. Well. That’s why it’s a warm up! Now onto comics!
Sami01: Noticed something... -
I can’t help but notice that when I try to work on the computer (as in drawing on CS5 Photoshop, Flash, or even Paint Tool Sai) without having first created the sketch on paper, that it RARELY turns out the way I wanted it to. I don’t know if its just because I have barely reached a year in…
Oh no I completely understand you there! Rarely does anything I draw strictly on the computer turn out even somewhat decent. Sure I get those rare surprises but most of the time, I need at least a skeletal sketch to make anything remotely decent on the computer. But it’s not too bad to sketch something quick and scan it into Photoshop or SAI, takes a few more minutes sure but it saves on some artistic agony! Not to worry, you’re not alone! :D
Gonna play Pottermore for forever now.
KTHX.
EDIT: Wow OK so appearently my boss read my mind. I was going to go in and cover a shift for someone and he called me and said it was ok, that he had someone else come in instead! So I really DID get my day off! And I got a 14.5 inch wand with unicorn core and I’m in freaking Hufflepuff.
Could this be the best day of my life?
HUSBAND: Let’s get ice cream later today.
YES.
