Sketchbook Project 2012 Art Dump – Pt 1

Made it in time to finish my Sketchbook Project 2012! Mailed it on the 31st. XD Talk about cutting it close. lol My theme was: Uncharted Waters. Didn’t stick with the theme too much. Whoops. XD So I had plans to make it fun and interactive but ended up having to rush so I forgot it. Plus with Ohayocon during the week it was due also kind of hindered me because I forgot when it was. Hopefully you guys have fun looking through my pages. I rebound the book adding pages, so I doubled the amount of pages…(bad idea now…

Ohayocon 2012 Con Report

So I’m back from Ohayocon and it was really good overall! Even saw a few friends that I haven’t seen in awhile, since my last Ohayocon which I think was in 2009. Wow, it’s been 3 years since I’ve last seen some people! It was good to be back though. I’m going to keep this brief since it wasn’t exceptionally eventful for me but I had fun socializing with friends. I wonder if it’s because I’m getting older and the fact that I haven’t kept up with any popular Anime or Manga lately that it wasn’t as riveting. Friday –…

Importance of Support Groups

This is unfortunately a subject where I’m lacking. I’m kind of used to doing things solo, I mean, I can work in a group too but I always thought of comic-making as a solo thing. That is, unless you’re collaborating with a partner or building a comic in an assembly line(pencils, ink, color, lettering etc). There isn’t a wrong or right way to do it, but during those moments of despair or frustration, a support group would be great to turn to in those times of need. Support groups are those who help give honest critique of your work and…

The Start of the Book Obsession

My current sketchbooks that I desperately want to finish but only about half way completed. I figure some of you would like an introduction to why I started this blog. If not, feel free to skip it. XD With graduation behind me I began to wonder what I should do with my life. Since I love the manga story-telling style, I decided to try to work on my own webcomic which is why I established this blog. It was mainly to help me track my progress as slow as it might be to help motivate me and for the public…

Can Pen/Paper and Keyboard/Technology Coexist?

In my opinion, yes. There seems to be a slight divide of pen users who seem to prefer writing in longhand but there are others who just as prefer to type it all out on a computer. Perhaps it’s the period in their lives when they learned to write or type which makes them prefer one over the other but I see the advantages in both. In my elementary and middle school days almost everything was hand written. At the time I thought it was normal to have to write everything all out. My handwriting was legible but it got…

Game Plan Progress…

The image is the concept/brainstorm I did when I did my 24 Hour Comic (which I still am in the process of finishing). Here’s a preview, if you can even decipher it. lol The two main characters, there’s another character I added spontaneously who isn’t in there. Sorry it’s not much but I still hope you enjoy! Ugh, have not been following my game plan at all…Can’t believe it’s December already. I’m not going to do something crazy like try to get a comic project done this month. Although, if I can that would be good but I’m going to…

November Game Plan + Breaking Progress

Above is old progress(a year or so…) of my comic Breaking. It shows my thumbnails/script that I started and a few pages of the actual comic but as usual nothing complete or nearly complete which is fine. I wasn’t quite sure where I was going with this comic anyways. XD I lately had a break through on what the general plot may be but have yet to devise an ending of any sort for this comic. (Trying not to give away any spoilers but let’s say it’s something Fairytale related) lol I have the main characters completed for the most…
