And so we march on

Heya Folks

Page 26 of my comic is up now, so if you're interested you can go check, its apparantly not to bad, or so I've been told, much to my own surprise.

An update on Captain Tylor the Abridged Series, I screened it in front of a couple friends, and recieved something of a lukewarm reception(to say it lightly), so I'm redoing the first episode from scratch, I'm not planning to take nearly as long with it(probably a month so halfway through June), but its gonna be like twenty times betterer or something. Not that I have anything to show just yet, maybe I'll put up some sound tests for the different characters, or a meet the character thing.

So in other words regular weekly updates of my comic has started again, at the moment it will only be 1 a week, but eventually I'll move up to two a week, and hopefully eventually five a week. the pages on the whole aren't that complex and if I get my act into gear I can easily get a fair few done in a short period of time(maybe).

Anywhoisitanyway, I bought a new DS last week, and well haven't really done much with it yet, and I went and visited the old Melbourne Zoo, saw a bunch of animals, looked like a hippy nerd thing...or something and uh complained a lot about only having four hours of sleep. Then paid for everyone's tea at an expensive(maybe average priced) restaurant, which I do want to paid back on guys, $158 ain't anything to sniff at, *sniff, I would be less annoyed if we weren't only a short walk from McDonalds(cheap food FTW), but I digress.

I also bought a bunch of mangas and anime while visiting Borders.

I have to say my manga collection has effectively ballooned out into a massive monstrosity since I got my job, my Anime collection now includes
Complete Series:
Gundam Wing/Endless Waltz
Gundam Seed/Destiny
Big O
Claymore(may have a 2nd season out yet)
Ouran High School(same for this one)
.hack/sign
Sayuiki(haven't actually watched it yet
Disagea
Excel Saga
FMP/Fumoffu
Captain Tylor/OVA(this is what my abridged series will be based on)
Devil May Cry
School Rumble
Samurai Deeper Kyo(watched the first episode and haven't bothered with the rest)
Gundam 0083
Gundam 08th Team

As you can see I'm a bit of a Gundam Fan, when I was tossing up ideas when trying to decide what show to do an abridged Series on, I thought about doing Gundam Seed, or Wing, but people had already beat me to the punch, i settled for FMP, but just as I had finished a third of the first episode, I found someone had again beaten me to the punch, a little sad I switched to Captain Tylor, a series that I really do love, but I had lost my steam for a while, and work started tiring me out a heck of a lot. So nothing happened for a while, then I finally started work on it, and well yeah the result was less then stella, so back to the drawing board. I'm going to tightly script this one unlike my last attempt, where I was sorta coming up with it on the fly, and basically forgot the whole parody part of the concept of abridging.

Anywho that's enough from me...

Sayonara folks!
