2007.08.02: August (aw gosh), I haven't drawn yet

Sun Aug 2, 2009, 5:33 PM
July hasn't been really nice because I'm never getting any free days from work. The usual: someone's sick, someone's getting surgery, someone can't come in, etc. I'm kinda used to it, but when it happens between two offices that are an hour apart it gets annoying. Otakon also happened during this month and I spent around ~$600. I found some stuff I wanted and then didn't find stuff at Otakon and mostly spent another ~$200 on Ebay. I'm almost at that point where I'm content on what I have now. There's a small wishlist I want right now:

- All the episodes of Dragon League (I don't care WHAT language)
- The manga of "Aoiumi No Sashimi" aka "Sashimi of the Deep Blue Sea" (I can get it from Amazon (JP) but there is no way the sellers can ship it here because I can't understand them and they can't understand me.
- Artbooks: "Rui Wa Tomo Oyobu" (comes out 7/31 but waiting for it to appear on Ebay), "Narue no Sekai" (colored artbook, which is fricking rare), and "Vandread" artbook (WHY DIDN'T I BUY IT FROM OTAKON)

That's basically it for my wishlist that is.

I'm ready to strap down and actually get drawing. I talked over with my friend about Wordpress and he says it's a piece of cake. I'm really hoping that he is right. So if you notice my webpage going down, that means I totally effed something up, and hopefully... I can get it fixed. ^_-

What am I going to draw first? I dunno, to be honest. All I know is that I haven't planned on how long chapter 0/1 is going to be.

HOW I DO MY COMICS:
- I do everything with #2 mechanical pencils (.3mm, .5mm, .7mm, and .9mm) with maybe some references with a non copier blue pencil on a Canson Universal Sketch with the microperforated edge (5.5x8.5in). Then I scan it in Paint Shop Pro and use the automatic adjust brightness & contrast feature (and maybe rotate if it frame I drew is crooked), then I resize to a height of 600px (I know I said 500px before, but I had trouble reading my own comics online so I had to increase the size). I leave a lot of space on the bottom for page numbers, titles, and comments from me.
- I am not very consistent on pages per chapters. Some chapters might have a few number of pages while others can have a lot of pages.

*L* Omg I get on a reminiscing trip and stumble upon not only Sharkyland/SAL but Killer too!

I'm not sure if you'd remember but I was Laela/Erizabesu/Zealot at animeigo for a long time!

Awesome to see you and your art here as well

Hey, what's up, I see you got a lot of new drawings up. Looks pretty cool. I still hate coloring ESPECIALLY with markers. I dunno how you do it.
:iconyalyn-vinkindo:
