Darkstalkers, Cake, and Store update

Darkstalkers, Cake, and Store update

I finally located the combo version of my first entry in the Udon Darkstalkers contest. This is the one that didn’t make it into the tribute book so I can post it for you all to see.

Even though I can’t show you the final version of the image that did make it into the tribute book I can show you a preview of it. In the form of my super rough sketch version that I drew to figure out what I wanted the image to look like. The final version is much cooler than this tiny thing.

I still can’t believe I thought doing a 5 character image with a giant sunflower and background was a good idea right before the deadline. =/

Cough, also there’s this image that I did before I did the Darkstalker stuff that i haven’t had any idea what to do with. My friend Sterling made a joke about this and I sort of ran with it… sorry Sterling. I’m sort of wondering if posting this isn’t sort of like showing up at the end of a party after everyone has already gone home. But what the hell…

The cake is a lie... er, I mean, pie!

Updated the store

With a bunch of buttons that I’ve been selling at cons for a year or two… which are jokes… I swear. REALLY. D= I think I just like to make things difficult for myself.

First a Saiko and Lavender button set! …I need to fix the “Lavender” bit in the store jpg since it’s misspelled by a twitch of my finger. =/

And then a bee button. I like bees in theory… but not so much in real life.

LOL… it’s suppose to say “CLASSY” but the word shape seems a little weird so I’m letting you know, it is in fact: Classy. D=

Taxes are killing me but I think I’ve finally got it on the run. Yay. Go away taxes!

I now have a twitter… but I have no idea what I’m doing with it at all. You can check it out over here: http://twitter.com/dianasprinkle/

This is the image that I made that was suppose to be a rough for a painting to match the sleeping cat I made as the header for this website. But I really like it on it’s own sketchy merit. I used bits of this image to make the bottom image of this website theme. It has a very dreaming feel.

In other news:

Wow, this is really cool. The Novel “Demon’s Lexicon” gets an awesome Japanese cover. Heh heh.

Here’s an interview with Phil Folio about going from print comics to webcomics. It’s really interesting. Makes me want to work harder.

Buy my Art! Save my clothing!

I have opened a site store! Woot! Finally. So now you can order prints, buttons, and my comics using Paypal. It should all quick and easy. I’ve been trying to get this thing up for awhile now but I only now got everything on it and tested it. There still some stuff that needs to be added to it but I’m please to announce that it’s functioning! Please take a look around… let me know if anythings broken.

Also here’s a My Muse image of me and the state of my clothing… which right now is sad and terrible.

My Muse: totally true

Ugh I still have to do my taxes. Tomorrow, I’ll do it tomorrow. =/

Ustream tonight

Ustream tonight

I figure I’d let you guys know that I’m going to be inking live today (Friday) on Ustream. I’ll get on after midnight probably starting at 1:00 central US time. My channel on Ustream is here: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/dxsmachina

I also recorded an inking preparation Ustream video where I talk about the joys of panel borders and word balloons… You can watch it here: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/1335754 or if the embeding works, you can play it below.

Free TV Show from Ustream

Just a note, while filming I mention that the difference between Microns and Zig Millennium pens are that the Zig’s “shrink”… cough, what I meant to say was that they wear down and become shorter. However because the Zig Millennium’s tip is plastic they still work fine as nubs. Where as the Micron’s felt tips tend to fray as they wear.

I think I’ll try to play music while I work instead of talking. =D
