S03: Quartet Wallpaper

Sorry guys, no comic again this Monday. Makers I'm so bad at this T^T I was at Otakuthon all yesterday (Sunday).

Well, I don't feel so bad this time (lol that's not necessarily a good thing) because I was working my ass off on a ToK-related project. I'd had this idea for a while now. I was planning for it to be a celebration pic for getting over 50 000 pageviews on DrunkDuck. By now there's a bunch more than that, and it doesn't even include numbers on SmackJeeves and deviantArt because I can't find statistics for them.

In addition, 24 people on DrunkDuck and 16 on SmackJeeves follow ToK. Again, I can't count for dA. It's not that big of a number, but it means a lot to me. Sometimes I wonder why anyone would bother following my story, because I myself find all sorts of issues with it - and I'm only talking about the storyline here. But other times I think about how I want my ideas to be heard, how I want to show the world my story, and in the end that's what I'm doing this comic for. So for each and every person who's taken a look, even for only a minute, thank you.

I pretty much started this project on Tuesday. I'd thought up a layout for the wallpaper before that, and done a little sketch. The way it's laid out gave me an idea - what if I could make a bookmark for each character? And then I had an ambitious thought: wouldn't it be amazing if I could sell them at Otakuthon? So I immediately got to work. My original deadline was Thursday night, but my schedule is really busy because of my piano exam coming up as well as the end of leadership camp last week, so I didn't have a lot of time to do stuff. Interesting how fate chose the time I need most free time to actually give me a life. xD

Anyway, I got it finished on Saturday, then went to laminate at my dad's work. There were all sorts of issues with everything - printing was messed, cutting and laminating took time, I screwed up a bunch with the wallpaper sizes. But in the end I finished! And it was awesome. :D

I didn't actually sell any bookmarks at Otakuthon. I didn't have the guts to xD I mean, there's all those artists who've paid for their tables to sell their stuff, and then there's me walking around with a bunch of homemade bookmarks… lol. I gave away two, though, to people I bought stuff from. I think that's good enough xD

I'm going to give away the rest at my piano recital. I wish I could sell them online. Beh… when I grow up and get better at drawing I'll make cooler stuff and sell that. ^^

Otakuthon was amazing. My friend and I basically walked around the merchandise place all day. We bought SO much stuff! It's amazing. My walls don't have enough space for all my posters @_@

Sorry for missing the page AGAIN Dx *hits self*

You can download the wallpaper package here. It comes in different sizes for different monitors. I'd be really glad if you used it xD
