Heyho

Right couple things to say about my webcomicing,
All three current comics are being ended for a variety of reasons, loss of interest, never was able to get myself motivated to do them, and what not.
At the moment I'm planning on doing a school based manga styled thing, as a tri-weekly thing, but I still have some bugs to work out and such with it so won't be starting till Wednesday with it.
What I'm looking at is incorporating my large list of characters, from my writings into it, so the cast certainly won't be limited by the setting, the setting will be fairly realistic, with moments of over the top action, with plenty of attempts at humour throughout(I hope)
Its gonna be full page but I'm gonna try for larger panels, still debating whether pencils or penning is the way to go at the moment, and it won't be in colour cause all I do is paint bucket it anyway...
Anywho I'm thinking I'm gonna take a break from roleplaying for a while, it was fun but I'm starting to feel the joy of creating my own worlds again without it being a game, plus I've been reading several manga's online Bleach is quite good, Naruto not as good, but it got a bit of laughter and tears from me.
And now I really need to catch up in Tafe...
yeah I've said that before...

Sayonara folks!

Taking a shortish break

Right, well if people have visited my site, they would be aware I decided to take a month off from not drawing comics...wait...anyway yeah so, during this month I'm trying to catch up on a lot of work that I've gotten really far behind on. I may also try to improve my drawing somewhat(actually have a go at dare I say, practise), and maybe even build up a buffer of strips.
Also I've suddenly lost a lot of interest in Tales of the Old World, mainly because I realized one main fact, a lot of the main characters will be dying in it quite brutally as the adventure progresses. Plus I may stop colouring it and may stick to pencil for now with drawing it, I feel I'm not getting the desired look for the comic, it needs to be a lot darker, and I really need to work on my colouring skills...they kinda suck(as in paint bucket suck).
I may also get a few Newstory pages done, in the intervening time, but till November 27th I'm thinking my productivity will be going down the toilet when it comes to my comics, I've got less then three months till Tafe finishes and I'm way behind, to the point I have basically a years worth of classes to catch up on, pretty bad really, just so I can get a diploma...which will be good to have, if I can get that much work done in what time I have left.
Anywho so even once hiatus status will be revoked on September 29th, updates will likely remain fairly sporadic, I'll try to keep to three updates a week but I guess we'll see.
Thought I'd tell ya guys who do visit my site a bit more of the reason. I'll try to have one update a week in the gallery, usually two skteches.
Also on another note, I found Yugioh the abridged series, Naruto the abridged series, Yu Yuhakusho the abridged series, Lupin III the abridged series and currently my absolutely favorite one DBZ the abridged series, which is done by most of the makers of the other abridged series.
What they are is someone removes all the sound, splices together several episodes or single episodes, and add a new dub to it, acting as a parody. The scary thing is how close some of them sound to the original english voice actors and how many voices they can produce. Blah anyway, check youtube if you wanna see for yourself some of these abridged series. DragonBall Z is the best so far, as the others start of a bit shoddy before the quality starts picking up, while the DBZ one incorporates the previously learned lessons of some fairly experienced abridgers, and so goes from strength to strength. If you watched the original series and aren't afraid to laugh at them, have a gander.
If no one reads this, I'll still have a gander for when they put out new episodes.

Anywho sayonara folks!
