A-ah crap. So I'm missing this week's update because finals week is next week and I've got a gajillion projects due, apparently. 8( One of said projects however is for my illustration class, for which we were supposed to create a book cover for a book of our choice. I asked my professor if it was all right if I made a book cover for my own book, and she said okay! 8D So that's what I have to show for myself this week.
The original is on 18x24 hot press illustration board, and the whole thing was painted in gouache. Unfortunately the gouache I have is some cheap, crappy brand I bought from the student book store, so any time I wanted to blend anything it would act up on me and I'd go slam my head in the wall. =_= BUT IN ANY CASE it's done now, and I will be offering it as a print for sale at the conventions I'll be attending starting from *gasp* NEXT WEEKEND!
That's right, I'll be attending the artist alley at several conventions this summer all over the United States starting May 16, at Anime Central in Illinois! I've listed my full schedule in today's page update, and also here. Check to see if I'll be going to anything close to you, and maybe we can meet in person! :Db
My apologies for not having the new pages up this week, but I'll make my strongest effort to get it done for next week!!
All right, guys, here we go: the return of DIALOGUE. U-unfortunately it's not yet a dialogue since it's only a single speech bubble, on a single page no less. But next week I'll have two pages for you, and perhaps the week after I'll have more...?
I-I need some time to get back up to speed on this comic-making business is all. >_>
Anyway, today's the first of the month, and that means that vote counts reset at TopWebComics and Buzzcomix, which means it's especially crucial to get some good votes in now since if we get a decent surge of votes NOW then it means a decent surge of exposure for the comic, meaning more readers and therefore more PRESSURE FOR ME TO UPDATE MORE FREQUENTLY AND ON TIME...!! O-on second thought, maybe you shouldn't vote too much after all.
But the daily vote incentives thing is still going on, by the way.
Also, I updated most of the rest of the site with the new layout, but more significant is the fact that I updated the cast page profiles with real descriptions of each character! Albeit it's only maybe two sentences each, but augh I was up 'til 7AM one night just getting the new cast page up and working!!
Mmm, well, until next week!
