I just got back from my convention trip so things are a bit messed up on the site right now. The comic page links are being put up as I type. I usually wait until I return from a trip to post stuff to this site. The actual webcomic site self updates so long as I post the pages in advance so it’s one less thing I have to worry about. Anyway I’m going to get back to fixing the links to the Saiko and Lavender pages so you guys can get to them easily.

Ergh, I’m catching up on posting my pages… yay the link is fixed. And it’s the start of a whole new issue.

Progress report… ramble ramble, angel comic

So, I took a look over my word doc for My Muse. And I have 57 ideas for various Muse stories but only about 5 of them written out. Pondering the ideas I do have, I am starting to wonder if I just hate people or if it’s the fault of the internet. O_o At least the self mocking is still pretty high.

I completely failed on Christmas this year. No card was draw, I didn’t post a wish list, and I never mailed my own cards. Thankfully the actually holiday was really nice. My friends pitched in and bought me a tiny cute iPod shuffle, which is a awesomely gift… it’s so small. I’m so happy with it even though I hardly have any songs to put on the little thing. I need to dig out my cds and rip the songs off of them.

I have gotten pretty comfortable with the new laptop and I’m now pass the initial “Oh my god” phase of owning it. I should write a review of it since it’s pretty cool but has some interesting quirks if your an artist. Still, the ability to draw directly on the screen makes up for a lot of the hassle. That’s really neat although you have to get use to the menus being under your hand all the time… but OH MY GOD you can draw right on the screen! And I don’t have to correct for my hand not going the right way cause my hands right there. It’s totally awesome.

Tentative Convention Schedule for 2007:

Further Confusion, January 18-22, 2007

Furry Weekend Atlanta, February 16-18, 2007

A-kon, June 1-3, 2007

Antro-con, July 5-8, 2007

San Diego Comic con, July 25-29, 2007

Whew, eyes schedule. That’s sort of rough… hopefully I’ll do well enough at them but considering that I have an art job right now I’m not sweating on the money as much as I use to. Still, it’d be nice to have the conventions do well this year. I need to consider getting a dealers table at some Anime convention in the Texas area that I could drive to. I have so much manga crap that I want to move it’d actually be worth it to pay the money for the table if it was relatively cheap. I need to get rid of the stuff that is cluttering up my room. I think I have like 3 boxes of random manga, shonen ai, yaoi, art books and translated stuff to get rid of. Not counting the art books Chad gave me to try to sell for him. Ergh.

Anyway that’s a lot of text so here’s a random comic page that I drew with an angel girl being all emo. She’ll show up in My Muse at some point, I hope.

Whew, and all the comics are up for this week and work is thinning out to be a bit more reasonable. This “Saiko and Lavender” page marks the end of issue #4 and start of the last issue in the original 5-issue series that me and Mike did for “Saiko and Lavender”. After that I also have the one shot “Saiko and Lavender Spooktacular” to post and then I’m out of finished material. Not sure what I’ll do after that. Hopefully by that time I’ll be actually zooming on the comic stuff but I’m not going to hold my breath… which means I need to seriously consider my work and how badly I allocate my time.

I’m also out of completed pages for My Muse so that’s on Hiatus for January. Ergh, I have comics written for Muse it’s just getting me to finish them that seems to be the issue… come to think of it I have a “Saiko and Lavender” script and some inked pages also laying around. Sigh. I think I need to pull the internet plug and force myself to get ahead on my regular money paying job art so that I can finish more comics that don’t pay so I can actually get the fan base really expanding so the non paying stuff starts to pay.

Also I need to answer emails. Sorry guys, I’ll try to get on that.

I think I need to sleep less perhaps.

My Muse… working

So yay, due to schedules lining up badly I’m only right now getting back to working on the My Muse page for um… two weeks ago. Ergh. Here I am at the art desk. Lets see just how long this takes me. Be prepared to be saddened by my speed. Right now I’m finishing the pencils and it hmm… 3:00 roughly.

edit 4:18: Stopped to get some food.
edit 4:55: 2 panels penciled out of 4.
edit 6:25: Pencils finished, now to scan. After a short nap.
edit 2:00 Am: Scanned page. Cleaned it up and now it’s all printed out and ready for inks… My nap ran long so I made me some food and now I’m getting back to work. Hopefully I can finish this page tonight so it can be all posted. Sigh, I need to get the back log going again.
edit 5:15 Am: 2 and half panels inked out of 4, I’m now going to bed. Sadly I’ll have to finish the page probably on Thursday cause I have to finish an image for my job Wednesday. Wheee.
