Chapter 9: Page 2

No Briar. They’re not lost.

Anyways, to re-mention from the last comic, I’ve ordered 20 copies of Chapter 7 in printed form, and will be taking them to Anime Weekend Atlanta next weekend. They’ll be sold for $5 a pop, but since I love you readers, I’m gonna make you all a deal. If you order them now, I’ll gladly sketch something into each comic for free, and ship them at no extra cost to you. This way you can have you’re very own copy AND original art to boot~

Already, 2 comics have been claimed! So if you want an original piece of art as well as one of the most action-oriented chapters of the comic in printed form, leave a message here! To those two how have already expressed interest, thanks!

Yay! And we’re on for Chapter 9! It’s always so odd. I go a month without drawing my characters that much, and suddenly I have to remember what they all look like. This time around, though, I think I’m doing pretty well. Working on getting a printed version of the comic had helped. I’m also trying to add quite a bit more detail nowadays.

As for the printed version, I’ve ordered 20 copies of Chapter 7, and will be taking them to Anime Weekend Atlanta. They’ll be sold for $5 a pop, but since I love you readers, I’m gonna make you all a deal. If you order them now, I’ll gladly sketch something into each comic for free, and ship them at no extra cost to you. This way you can have you’re very own copy AND original art to boot~

Just leave a message here if you’re interested in a copy. Have a great week and I’ll see you all again on Tuesday!

Filler Comic

This is my first time actually posting something using this program… so I hope that I did it correctly.

Anywho, I actually enjoy doing filler comics from time to time, and I hope this will keep you entertained until Kim gets back. For those who have not been with us, in 2006 I did a filler comic that played on my… umm… “artistic skills.” This is the sequel!

If you’re interested, click here to read the original.

*After Post Edit* Holy crap, that was EXTREMELY tedious to post…

Hehe, this is what I’m like when I have things to work on. I’m currently writing scripts for 2 other comics, with ideas for a third already brewing. I just finished Chapter 7 and sent it to the printers (should be in time for the next con!). I need to work on Chapter 8 and get it prepped for printing. I’ve got Anime Weekend Atlanta coming up in less then a month, so I want to finish both my Rainbow Girl stickers (I’ve got 2 left), as well as my Zodiac girls (all 12). There’s also the desire to work on some fun art, a couple contest for Capcom, etc etc etc.

I don’t know HOW to take a break anymore. However, I swore I wouldn’t work on a ton of stuff on my cruise. I’m there to have fun. But, I will be taking my comic sketchbook with me so I can at least get some sketches and possible inked pages done for Chapter 9.

Fortunately, Craig was nice enough to promise some filler-art while I’m gone. Hope y’all like it. I’ll see you again on the 2nd!

Filler Art

Thought I’d throw some fan-service of a different sort on here. And yes, I know Xion turned out very tan. I’m gonna have to go back and fix that. Anyways, last week of updates! Next week is my honeymoon (no updates then), and then we’ll be starting Chapter 9! I hope nobody minds if I [...]

Pedantic

adjective: ostentatious in one’s learning; overly concerned with minute details or formalisms, esp. in teaching. (dictionary.com)

On further inspection of her final paper, she discovered that her “C” was not because of what she wrote, but her pedantic professor noticing all the little grammar mistakes she made.

Lesson: Don’t ever let a perverted doctor make you a prosthetic limb. Sorry it was late. I thought I had uploaded it last night, but apparently I didn’t. Now watch, it’ll show up again a year from now on this date, and I’ll wonder why…

Sorry guys. Sometimes even I forget about the little details. Naming Maqqy’s ‘arm cannon’ never even occurred to me. Fortunately, I have you wonderful fans to help me out!
