… this thing will be 452 + 22 pages of additional art, that's roughly 3.5 times longer than the previous thing. Moments like that I really wish I could just throw some serious cash at a good artist, heh.If the length makes you dread doing it, maybe a useful exercise would be to go through and tighten it up as much as possible? :] It sounds like you've been writing this really quickly, but I think with longer works, putting it aside for a while and editing it later, or even having someone else look at it critically, can be useful to cut out a lot of things that aren't really needed, make plot elements more dense, etc…. Even if you can only cut out 20 pages, how many hours of work later would that save you?
But the one girl I was going for, pretty much slapped me in the face. Not literally, mind you. But I was being nice, and she wasn't at school one day, so I messaged her asking what was wrong. And she didn't even bother to respond. Now, this wouldn't have upset me so much, but this shit happens all the time. I'm sorry for the language, I'm just so sick of everything.I'm sorry about that. I went through a break up recently and all I can say is try to keep positive.
It doesn't help that I pretty much already gave up on the thing. But this pretty much marks it. I'm done with wasting my time chasing after girls that I know I have no chance with. Also, everybody was like, "Oh, you have a chance." "She's not out of your league."
Ha.
Also, you're obviously too much of a sexy beast for her. Am-I-right??? *Highfives*
Also, about the picture. Why did they bother to skip the inking step?It's the other way around, the colors were all wrong for the pencils which were very nice-check the rest of his DA :). Pencils tend to need earthy natural tones and very little use of an overlay layer to work, Cho and sonia oback rock this and so the recent Conan too.
I really hope that isn't pro-stuff, because the pencils look terrible on the colors (colors are nice, though)
TDK should have won best movie during the MTV Movie Awards instead of Twilight. Twilight sucks. Any self-respecting reader/science fiction/fantasy fan should know that.
Have you seen Twilight?
If not, don't you DARE badmouth it.
Some people have no respect for good art.
Mustard gas is nasty, but the real reason countries agreed to give it up in war (even though the US, Russia, France UK, Israel etc still keep some) was that it's not much use in war. Same with all the other bio and nerve gas weapons. They're deadly, but deadly to your own side too.
That's why no one did the same thing with nukes. They're FAR more effective. Why renounce a weapon that actually works? ;)
Besides, the only reason people are worried about terrorists using them is because that's the only scenario where their use makes tactical sense, and even then the challenges in employing it in a truly destructive way are huge.
It's why the case for war in Iraq was not just silly because they didn't HAVE the chemical weapons, but they most likley wouldn't have used them even if they did. -_-

I have mustard gas nightmares; plague nightmares, too. I used to have "floods of biblical proportion" dreams, but oddly enough that stopped after Katrina. I guess my brain was like, "Well, prophesy fulfilled! We can cross that one off the list now!" huh!?

I did a bunch of packing yesterday. Got most of my clothes, all of my junk and books, and a lot of art supplies boxed up. Next is my record collection and turntable, cds, and massive jewelry collection. Sheesh. Least I got some beers left. As I've said before- can't do that shit sober.
I'm excited to go home, and see my as of yet unseen apartment. Its like, two blocks away from one of my favorite bars, a couple blocks away from the Carnival parade route, the grocery, and the streetcar line. So pretty much ideal. Got a back yard and driveway, too. And we've got the whole bottom floor for $850/month, which is about what a 2 bedroom in Uptown cost before the hurricane. Could be a dump, though. And the landlord is insane. Eh, who cares. It will be weird not to live in my old neighborhood, though. But that's only a 15 minute bike ride away, too. :)
Well hey, apparently I'm super productive when my brain is shrivelling from sleep deprivation. It's a shame that what I'm actually super producing is crap and as soon as I'm in my right mind again I'll delete it all and curl up weeping in a corner somewhere.

I would hate mustard gas but only because I hate mustard.
Actually I had a dream last night that I still remember. Something about people (6-8) being stuck on a non-functioning freight ship out in a cold part of the ocean, and after one guy died from starvation, the others decided that one of them would have to be killed and eaten. The best person to kill and cut up someone was the doctor, but since no one was willing to be killed, they told the doctor to kill and cut up and cook himself for them. So they are all sitting around at dinner to warm juicy leg steaks and halfway through the meal, the mail arrives (I dunno) and there is a letter from the doctor telling them that he cut up and cooked the starved guy instead and swam for shore, and that they were morons.
I knew that when I dropped my car off for an alignment this morning the dealers would find about $300 worth of other problems and swear to me on their mother's graves that it was a necessary thing to get fixed. Well, I was wrong. They found $800 worth. Busted ball joints and some other shit. I was just saving up money to buy a Walther P-22 and now they want me to spend an entire paycheck on this crap?
To make things even better, now they get to charge me an extra hour of labor. They didn't say so over the phone, but I know those bastards will. No wonder Andy (friend of mine) quit because he hated how corrupt these guys have become.
"Just change the tire," was all I could bring myself to say on the phone, because the busted ball joint misaligned the car and that made it ride heavy on said tire, which blew out a belt. Whatever. I knew I could just take the damn thing to Wal-mart and get a tire without getting charged an extra $50 for labor. Hell, if wal-mart still did alignments, I wouldn't have this problem. They'd have fixed the problem, lied to me and sent me home. Or maybe wal-mart didn't. SOME shop around here used to but they went out of business and now the only people I can find are the dealer and a "Leatherworks and alignment" shop which is across the street from the library and equidistant between the projects and the schools.
Either way, I still have to get the brake pads replaced. Which, of course, I'm sure they'll mention in a few minutes when they call back.
DAMN YOU Ford/Lincoln/Mercury/Toyota dealership! DAMN YOU TO HELL AND BEYOND!
Whew. Got the linework for my cover done. It's a bit… boring, honestly. But whatever- I'm up against a rapidly approaching deadline. Blech. I hate doin' covers- color work is not my specialty. :gem:
Now I've got to go pay Kinko's to scan a metric crapload of stuff… I hate it, because often they do a shoddy job. I like to be able to do it myself, on account of different pages need to be scanned with different setting- anywhere from b & w to 16-bit greyscale. Grrrr. And half the time they ignore me and scan it at 600 dpi (why!?) and my computer freezes up when I try to edit a file that size. :mad:
Decided to layout the entire chapter in thumbnails before starting to actually draw (rather than do it on the go before I draw the pages). So I guess the first actual pages will happen tomorrow…
Sheesh. Least I got some beers left. As I've said before- can't do that shit sober.

My sweet child, I am a professional drunk.Sheesh. Least I got some beers left. As I've said before- can't do that shit sober.
I would imagine it would be harder to do that whilst being drunk. Wouldn't you stumble around a bunch, and maybe drop things?
Or maybe, your just a really good drunk?
;)
Heh. Tell me ya know what a "cajun cooler" is… or maybe that's just a New Orleans thing…My sweet child, I am a professional drunk.
Also, I can't afford enough beer to get me drunk. Just enough to stay not sober. ;)
Ah, gotta love Louisianians.

Yeah, you definitely want to do that.
I always uh…free-balled it (for lack of a better term) when I drew pages. I never really bothered to do proper/decent thumbnails.
This time around, I'm most definitely going to.
Because I hate crying in a corner for 5 hours, rocking back and forth, figuring out how I want to lay my panels out.
The 5 hours I spent crying, I could have spent drawing. :P

Well, my Dad's folks are from Lafayette, and they don't mix drinks there, they just open the hard stuff and drink. Then play cards, and argue and HE'S GOT A KNIFE!! Chairs get thrown, lawn ornaments get turned into melee weapons and someone gets a rock through the window. Best family reunion ever.
In short yes, but I've never had one.
