12/30/09 5:27 PM Not dead! Still here! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, all that jazz. Again, I apologize for not having anything else posted, but! I got upgraded RAM for my computer. Photoshop was running so slow that I couldn't even do simple sketches without it freezing when trying to save. Now that I have an extra 2GB of RAM in this machine, it's running rather nicely. Still slow because Photoshop is an Adobe product *cough*money-sapping memory-hogs*cough*, but it's able to save without hanging up. I have to change my workflow a bit to accommodate for this slowness, and I'm also going to go around once again and fill out job applications, so once again updates will be slow. I'm almost tempted to just take down Chapter 2 and re-post it later as a volume, because as it stands now it's dead in the water until my artblock subsides and I get a chance to continue working seriously on this. Also...regarding the move to Florida. Something has come up and plans may or may not have to drastically change, so I'm also caught in a whirlwind trying to figure out what to do. I can't give specifics yet, but I'm having to look at totally alternate colleges or game design/art training areas plus job venues. So there's that on top of everything else. ------------------- 12/11/09 10:23 AM I'm back again with an update. Not like anyone visits here, but if you do, thanks @_@. Okay, it's been hell but I've had to: *Drop out of college thanks to ADHD burnout *Erase the Windows XP partition on my Macbook and re-install Windows back under Parallels *switch to Photoshop CS4 for pretty much all my drawing *miss a lot of work and help around the house for the impending move Yeah. The babysitting, cleaning and the adaptation to Photoshop have eaten up a lot of my time, but I have the next two pages underway. The next page is in the "ink" stage and the page after it is sketched up and awaiting more progress while I mess around with coloring options and other stuff. Also, BIG update. After this chapter there will be another hiatus. As a fellow Comic Dish member said in the forums, "I'm moving from webcomics to web comics." I will be trying to release the story in full chapters, or at least in chapter segments, rather than one page at a time. So, that's it. Sorry for the ridiculous waits, I'm not too thrilled about lack of updates but life often doesn't play nice. ------------------- 11/19/09 10:16 AM Well so much for bi-weekly updates X_X Was on a roll and then server issues kept me from logging into classes. Also, went to see my psychologist yesterday. Turns out I have ADD and some other possible stuff, and the current advice is to drop college for a while, try some new medications, and try to recuperate before the move to Florida in June-July. So...no new pages until I settle this drop stuff. Sorry. If you're starved for material from me, check out My deviantART stuff and do some browsing. I don't have the motivation to draw, however I am currently working on writing some extensions to my story DragonMasters thanks to that new movie Up. Dunno how but it got my mind going. Not gonna question it either, that story's been stagnant for a while. Again, sorry for the lack of new material, but quite sadly comics are not a high priority...which really sucks. -------------------------------- 11/4/09 11:33 AM Yay for more sketches! This month I aim to have updates on Wednesdays and Saturdays, mostly sketches because I need to get these ideas out of my head before college completely ruins me towards the end of the term. Sorry about all the sketches, I will someday get back to them and finish them up. I find it saddening that college boredom demands precedence over advancing my interests in order to better pursue a job. Speaking of jobs, I've put in an application as a Game Advisor for GameStop, hopefully that goes well and I can get the job. -------------------------------- 10/25/09 10:30 PM Sorry all, been really stressed and sick the past two weeks. With college having just started again amid a rapid procession of sicknesses and fevers, I have been WIPED.OUT. for quite a while. Haven't done anything except sleep, eat and stare blankly at college work trying to get my brain to function. I'm getting better slowly, I tend to catch everything my siblings bring home and they all go to different schools, that's five different sources of disease coming home every day X_X Weak immune system much? In other news, I am as of right now approximately 21 years, 6 days, 21 hours and about 7 minutes old. Sick on my birthday, yay...oh well. Gonna properly celebrate sometime soon here. --------------------------------- dA Journal update Major news update for me. Understandably, all I can post is sketches at this point in time... |
