After I'm done with this page, I will have inked 4 pages today. And then I have to ink one more. I've penciled 5 in the past two days, and I've already almost got them inked.
I am such a beast.
They're good looking pages too, not crappy or horrible. :)

The 2009 Rant, Vent, and Share thread
Ryuthehedgewolf has so much get up and go and self confidence, it's worrying. o_o
———————
I'm watching the DVD "The Bunny House" while drawing and it is awful. Not as bad as Step Brothers, yet, but fairly nasty anyway.
Watching it has ceased to be something on in the Background while I draw and has instead become an endurance test.
I will survive.
As long as that youthful confidence doesn't propel you to go fight gang members with guns, all Chuck Norris style and whatnot. ;)Ryuthehedgewolf has so much get up and go and self confidence, it's worrying. o_o
Hahaha. Do not be worried my friend. It shall not overwhelm me…
At least…I hope not!
D:
Oh. And make that 4 out of 5 by the way.
nice thingsAw, I'm flattered you would say that. *blush*
I admire the rushing head-on into change. Only good can come of it, really. I'm such a control freak- it can be extremely limiting as far as artistic development goes!
So I'm kind of pissed of at myself right now. Why? Because of the comic I mentioned earlier in the thread. I was actually so close to getting a comic started, but now I'm back at square one.
See, the idea was that I took a bunch of photograph's, sort them out in panels on Photoshop, then print it off on a sheet of A3. Then, I'd put a sheet of glass over it and add the characters by squishing plasticine on top.
The problem is, I realised that it'd work perfectly for this Uni project I'm doing. Which is great, because it'll net me much a higher grade and probably win back favour with my lecturer, who's been getting a bit pissed off at me lately (justifiably so) because of this whole 'being a worthless, lazy shitbag' business.
Why is that a problem? Because I won't use the same technique/style/whatever more than once. So if I use it for the project, no more comic. I can't just do the comic another way, because I've already got the look ingrained in my mind and anything else will look wrong. The same with the project.
Obviously, I've made the sensible choice and used it for the important thing, but it still pisses me off. I just don't want to be 'promising to start something soon' forever. Besides, I really need a hobby that isn't sitting on my arse doing nothing, or I might just go completely mad with stress.
Oh well, bye bye Ted. You were a pretty good idea, so sorry about betraying you like this. At least you won't get murdered now.
Edit: oh, I also need to someone who's good at maths to help me work something out.
That sounds terrible!It was worse…
I got through it, but it's a hollow victory.
You know how some films are life affirming? The Bunny House is the opposite of that. And not deliberately like something like Dancer in the Dark, so it actually makes you feel just a bit suicidal at its awfulness. :(
…Whereas Dancer in the Dark is supposed to be like that, so it's actually really funny. :)
Ugh. I'm going to have a shower now and try and forget about it. -_-
…The more that I think about it though… Lars Von Trier missed a trick there. Hmmm.
Not as bad as Step Brothers, yet, but fairly nasty anyway.
I wish that I had kept a running tally of the amount of times you have mentioned this movie. It must have made a tremendous impression.
It took only one glimpse of the commercial to warn me away, but after seeing the trauma it's inflicted upon you, I intend to avoid it with extra fervency. o_o
I wish I had a dollar for every vampire i saw today.
Dont tell me vampires dont exist. THEY DO EXIST.
There's actually more of them right now. They ride cars with blue and red lights on the top and they make an annoying sound.
Economy emplodes… and the solution of the demons is to unleash more vampires upon the peasants.

That movie is dangerous.Right up there with Slapstick Of Another Kind. o_o

An update on the drawing. I did indeed finish those 5 pages last night. At 1 o clock in the morning. So from 5 PM - 1 AM, I inked 5 pages. Holy hell my hand hurts. And that's not the end of it! I wrote in ALL the words on the actual pages, so people I know in real life can read it.
I also wrote a LONG journal in my LJ, but I don't like the layout. I suck at CSS, but I have dreamweaver. Anybody care to help?
Also going to re-draw 2 pages today. The Chapter Page (since I redesigned the main villain) and Page 15, since it had no word bubble. :D
Also, Conker's Bad Fur Day, is a VERY frustrating game.
The cat keeps rubbing his head on my right hand while I'm on the computer, making it hard to do anything. Silly kitty.
Also people keep hurting me accidentally today. My dad was punching the air in front of me and accidentally punched my arm, my mom stabbed me several times with the end of the roof rake thingy before noticing I was yelling at her to stop(I couldn't jump away because I was sitting against the railing of the stairs on the other side), my little sister hit me in the head with a stick while throwing it for the dog, and then my dad made me go on a "toboggan ride" with my lil sis and dragged me right into the fence.
And it's only 11:15am. Good lord.
Uhg. I hate it when I get in a rut, and then start stressing about being in a rut- which only exacerbates and prolongs the initial problem! Not producing makes me feel like crap, and feeling like crap makes me not produce. Enough of that- I'm-a force myself to work today. :mad:
Also I got an email from a certain "adult web community" I used to belong to, offering me a renewed subscription for half-price. I left a couple of years ago because a lot of my friends had bailed out, there were site changes I didn't like, and (predictably) way too much drama. But somehow I'm still tempted. Plus, they're telling me Warren Ellis is doing a column for 'em right now. Damn it, they really know how to push my buttons, don't they? Must. Not. Give. In. Willpower!
Goddammit. I cannot get screentones to do what I want. I've done tutorials and everything. All I want is dark brown dots on light brown background at 300dpi. All I can find is black dots on white background at 72dpi. And I have no idea how to make Photoshop turn the white transparent so I could at least do an alpha layer mask or something to paint the dots brown. Even then they are still at the wrong dpi. And I can't find any 300dpi dot patterns. :[
Ah screw it, the person I'm doing this comic for anyway won't care if it doesn't look really fancy. Still I feel like some simple screentones could have improved it a lot, but it doesn't seem worth the effort. I just spent 2 hours failing badly at it. :[ I have more worthy comics to spend my time on.
Rant: I hate people suggesting things to put in my comics. You should do one about this. You should put that in. No. My comics. I'm not doing those things.
sometimes i think ironscarf is really just the worlds funniest A.I. programmed to make funny quips with peoples rants….which explains why he never has any himself…
(i truly find him humorous.)

my wife had a crappy day at work. so like most women, she went out and bought some comfort food. and brought some home to share….the only problem is, i thought i'd be nice and make some steaks…so i spent the afternoon devoting myself to what is now leftovers, without ever having been main dish. sigh, they taste delecious…

holy crap ozones in the future?
have we found a cure for aids yet? have solved global warming with nuclear winter?
send the information to me, and i'll make money off it….then i'll split it with past you.

New Zealand became the nation that leads the free world with Australia as its dumb side kick.
North America is now North Mexico. Sliders was right!
Nuclear weapons turned out to be a hoax, but global warming didn't. :(
Half the globe is ruled by Kevin Costner and an army of extras using props from the movie Waterworld.
Prisoners are no loner executed, but are instead forced to watch Step Brothers and The Bunny House until they kill themselves.

Great. That means I have 2 hours before Monday hits to slit my wrists and avoid the apocalypse that Kevin Costner is going to cause.
DAMN YOU KEVIN COSTNER!!!! :mad:
