Whoa haven't blogged in a while....
Well stuff has happened I guess, I got a job interview, which I am of the opinion that I screwed up. Hmm whatelse, my driving test is arriving fast, two more weeks and it is upon me.
I have actually completed page 7 of Newstory, I've just taken an exceedingly long time to upload it, should be putting it up tonight, I'm nearly broke, but a couple jobs offered by my parents should see me through as long as I spend wisely.
And I've started planning a new DnD campaign type thing, asian based, instead of the traditional western european setting, which I have been getting tired of.
Also I really wish Creative Assemble would release a sequal to Shogun Total War, they've had four games focusing on europe time for a change.
It's set in my DnD campaign world of Ovaleen, upon the largest continent. This place has had little to no contact with the rest of Ovaleen, and those who visit named it the plains of Endless battle, due to the rapidly shifting political climate, that quite quickly led to wars that would humble any of the great wars fought in the rest of Ovaleen.
The Continent itself is a vast place, and is home to the single greatest concentration of humans on the planet, to the point that there is no other civilised race present on the continent, which is named Zhou Wei by its people. Its people are seperated into several different cultures.
The Zao the primary people of Zhou Wei, live in a collection of kingdoms, that routinely go to war with each other, some disappear, new ones form, it is a very unstable political landscape, all great lords seek to become the Emperor of the Zao. To the east are the vast steppes home to a nomadic and warlike people known as the Yuan, split into tribes, they greatly respect strong warriors and frequently invite strong warriors they face to join their ranks. They are the best horsemen of the steppes, and many fear their raiding parties. Tribes may occaisionally fight each other but not to the same extent as the Zao and Gian.
To the east the Gian, are a highland culture who are skilled sailors, they are like the Zao divided and frequently fight amongst themselves, fighting for the right to rule Gian. They live on a large mountainous outcropping from Zhou Wei, that extends out into the ocean.
To the north are the greatest mountains, and a culture very different from the warlike attitudes of those they consider lowlanders. The Quang live in a peaceful monastic society, where they seek spiritual perfection, without the worry of war, thanks to the unique defence of the very area they live in.
Off the western coast of Zhou Wei lies a large island archipelagos named Oda, made up of four large islands. The Odan a society that developed from pirate colonies into a complex and isolationistic society, that can vary from unparalleled peace to brutal violence. It's people are unique in that they have an emperor, thus making them seem a united country unlike the rest of Zhou Wei. However the emperor is merely a figure head of a country ruled by the Daimyo, various powerful clans that claim territories across the four islands, the symbol of these clans are the elite samurai. The Daimyo make war on each other frequently, with borders changing very frequently, though most of the Daimyo are of near equivalent strength.
Still needs a lot of work, and if you couldn't tell is based off real world asia.
But I've had a lot of fun working on it so far. ...I know I'm a nerd.
I gotta say programming ain't that hard...when I can concentrate on it, I think I spent nearly 3 hours today out of a six hour class, chatting to friends on Gmail, I'm also really enjoying doing php, as first of all, it gets immediate results, the book is much more structured then the java book, with easier to follow questions.
I think I'm falling behind a little with the networks subject, mainly due to the hardware lab, getting messed around with by Cert IIIs, before we go in, and then we have to figure why all our connections need to be redone...GAH!
Then we have project management, which is okay, but mostly consists of us sitting around and listening to our teacher tell us stories from his vast repertoire of experience, surprisingly I feel that I learn a lot from these classes.
Anywho I'll probably update Newstory tonight, and get a couple of Tales comics up, sometime later this week, fully coloured of course.
Anywho thanks folks for reading if ya did, if ya didn't well you didn't read this part so NAH NAH NAH NAH
Sayonara folks!

Bagh!
Slightly frustrated yes I am...
Anywho page six of Newstory has been pushing my drawing skills, and writing skills, the main problem is I always gloss over the points where the fighting ends, so I have one sentence that in practice turns into a full page on its own, or at least half a page. So yeah that part where I said several pages done, hasn't quite happened. But but, this page doesn't look too shabby so far, so I am getting better, which is a good sign, and me facing these problems now is better then later on when the story gets a whole lot more complicated.
I have at least three major fights planned in this comic, and this one ain't one, so better now that I face problems with how I write the script now then later on when things can quickly become a mess.
Anywho page six may be done sunday, I've come to the conclusion that I'll put the update times of Newstory, when it's done, rather then trying to set up a time and then failing miserably. What's it been now a month since an update?
Other then I'm gonna eventually start advertising my website on Nexus, but also at the moment Nexus is looking dead, so if people wanna join and write up a storm with others then please go do so. We need people who are more active then me!
Anyways, I've spent that last two weeks being remarkably unproductive, seriously I think I've done less then a rock.
My room is still an ungodly mess, currently without curtains...and its cold...and bright in the mornings. I have been pretty good concerning the pets, but I think I need to take a break from my computer...actually tomorrow will be a non-computer day...we'll see how long I last..I may even get page six done finally, and start on page seven, and then eight, now that would be a sight to behold!
May even get some of the fence done for Mum and Dad, I'm supposed to be getting paid for it so why not, I don't have work at the moment, and I'm not sure I want to go back to the farm, I think five years is enough.
Anywho I've rambled long enough,
Sayonara and all that jazz...stuff...thingie...

A month!?
Whoa I haven't blogged in a month!
Anywho I've been taking a bit of time off of drawing Newstory, to practice a little bit, and finalize another character's design who will be entering the comic soonish. You can see some examples of what I've been doing with my new profile image.
Anywho I'm now on holidays, and if all goes well I might try and get several pages drawn over the the coming fortnight, I said several there, not just a couple. As long as I don't allow myself to get to distracted.
Other then that I'm also posting on a Role Playing forum, which the link is above Guardian Universe, so if you want to check out some of my writing, I'm going by the same name I use for most things there, so it shouldn't be to hard to find me.
I'm also planning on doing some Tales comics at some point.
Other then that, I'm gonna start redesigning the Newstory and Tales pages to be better organised, currently they are a bit of a mess.
Anywho Sayonara folks and thanks for all the fish!

Huzzah...or something...
So's I passed my hazard perception test, got told I suck at perceiving threats even though the video I was forced to watch was only at like 200pixels for an entire 16 inch screen, shadows were like black ominous holes you couldn't see under, and motorbikes were able to hide behind vans with relative ease(though I guessed that one)
Meh crappy quality tests aside I got Wednesday off this week due to a teacher phoning in sick, unfortunately I didn't find out till I was sitting out side the room in the morning with limited to no means of getting out of town and back home.
I gotta say my teachers are all good, though I still haven't met one of them, my programming teacher. Also my course focuses on web design, networking, programming and more project management(*sigh), also I have a friend this time in this class who more then knows a lot of computer stuff being a completed 2nd year computing university student and all that.
Comic news, page four will be up on Saturday, probably as soon as I finish it, and I will start doing page five shortly after. Page five is fairly action heavy so I'll see how I go with that page, I'm very certain as I start to get a little better I'll get faster as well, also I'm planning on updating the main character's look soon as I work on it, as I was able to finally borrow out the books that helped inspire me to start drawing Newstory, and well start drawing as it had some of the best example pictures I could possibly ask for. I've also borrowed out a how to draw martial arts in manga type book thing, so it will hopefully help as well.
When I get more proficient at web design I will work on making the proper Newstory page rather then what I currently have.
Computer news, I finally upgraded my old 17' LCD monitor for a brand spanking new 20' widescreen, only problem is my graphics card seems to only support up to 1280 by 800 resolution, when the monitor itself can go up to 1680 by 1050, so a little annoying.
Car news(geez I got a bit of this news ting), I agreed to purchase my parents 2005 holden commodore equip at the end of year, when I will hopefully have a job(better then the farm) somewhere and be earning money of some sort.
So I currently owe my parents for the new monitor and I will be owing them for the car. I don't have any money and I'm already agreed to be in debt for $14000 by the end of year, add onto that my $6000 HECs fee, and well 20K is a great figure to be owing by the end of the year.
whoa more figures...um fix that with some random nonsense of some...damn got nothing
Oh and Mortigi what's the maximum bandwidth that's allowed for the server?(not that I even dent it)

And sumthing!
I missed another update time thingy, its annoying, but I really have had a bit of trouble with the latest page (and its only page four) but anywhos, I'm hoping I don't make a trend of these fortnights to do one comic in, I vwanna get better at the drawing, better at the pacing, better at the narrative so I'm bound to hit a few hurdles and stuff as I start, and I really wanna hit about a page a week or even two, I know I could if I put more effort in and spent more time on my drawing, but yeah real life sucks.
I started my course today, and so far it looks like it's either going to be very fun, or mind numbing in its complexity, but hey that's how I like it...I guess, and doing well in this course may well allow myself to get a decent job out of it.
Also I have organised my hazard perception test, so I can start working towards getting my license, and hopefully get it before they bring in the dreaded green P. Here's hoping!
Other then that hmm...nup haven't got much to say, so

Hooray!
I got into my course, one wave of my cert IV results and they basically went right where's the money...or something like that anyway. So long story short I still have to enroll but I'm in the course!
On other news I've decided to wait till Saturday to update Newstory, sorry if anyone was waiting for it, I made a couple of things saying yeah it'd be up, but never got round to it. My sister's leaving for University soon and my brother is planning on moving out sometime this year, so I may be home alone...with the folks...it'll mean less to distract me I guess, but gee it's going to be boring without them here...
Also works about ready to finish for the season, which means I'll become broke pretty soon if I don't fix my spending habits, and due to the schedule for my course i won't be able to work even if I want to at the farm(right...like that will ever happen) so hopefully I'll be able to get a job after finishing this course, I mean a diploma has to count for something towards getting a job, and I do have a cert IV in project management as well.
I'm seriously considering adding a review section to my website as well, so I can properly recommend visiting some webcomics and playing some games, and avoiding others, though I might not start reviewing webcomics till Newstory is a bit more established, ie. more then 2 or three pages more like 30 or something.
Other then that well I've got nothing so visit my website if you haven't already and have a quick glance around.
For some reason I feel quite sad now...

Newstory
My main comic has now been started and put up, Newstory.
The purpose for this comic, is really to act as an experiment and as a way for me to learn a bit about what works and what doesn't. Also to challenge myself artistically with each page. With each page I'll try to do something different, different camera angle, different posture for a character to be in and hopefully a general refinement of character looks and appearances.
I'm also aiming to create a buffer for this comic, so that I shouldn't have any trouble updating it from now on. Also one friend has offered to colour it in with pencils, so I may have coloured versions going up as well.
I'm still planning on going back to Tales From the Lettuce Patch, with as I believe I have previously mentioned a story me and a friend wrote together, that sorta takes the path of one person the other writes something, and is basically an extended conversation similar to what me and my friend did during secondary college, though we never wrote those down.
The advantage of this and the problem I faced with the original Tales, is that it gives me a ready made script that I have to adapt to comic form, rather then my original practise of trying to come up with something remotely funny on the spot while in the middle of drawing the strip.
I do storyboards for newstory and have a basic summary of what happens in each chapter, though I am currently thinking of expanding it to 6 chapters long (150 pages)to stop it from going to fast for a reader to follow.
I'll get around to finishing the Newstory homepage at some point.
On other news I have a second round interview for my course now, so I still will most likely get into it, as long as I present well during the interview. Though with a Cert IV under my belt I should be able to get in easily. Oh and I am now a Certificate IV IT multimedia specialist, and a certificate IV project manager. I may have to cut my hair for this interview, or at least get it trimmed. I'm rather fond of having my hair long well at least longish, as you can tell if you read Tales From the lettuce patch, most of the time I portray myself with long hair.
Anyways other then that, work is really starting to hurt, you have four people doing spring onions over a period of 3 hours.
If they can mange 40 an hour each that's 160 an hour, over three hours they should have done, 480. Instead they had done 250 after me and my sister had spent 3 to 4 hours cutting zucchini, we were pretty much ready to go home and be done with work for the day. Instead we ended up slaving away for another four hours on the bastard plants, I can deal with Zucchini or Spring Onions, not both at once, thats pushing me too far...however with zucchini an average load gets back on average maybe $300 but costs in employee costs around $250
Each spring onion costs around 90c to $1.10 if a worker can churn out 40 an hour they are more then covering their own employment costs.
Then you bring lettuce into the equation.
Ten bins of lettuce is about $1000, that can take up to two hours to do with eight workers depending on the crop being harvested, some times can take an hour, each employee costs about $12 an hour (this is an average due to large age gaps in some workers) thats $96 to $182 in labor for a $1000 dollar deal, add into that the costs of planting and maintaing said plants, say around $400 and you still have a net profit of $400 to $500 dollars.
With the math in place lettuce are obviously the best vegetable to harvest money wise, and kids as young as fourteen can be taught how to pick them, which saves a huge amount in employee costs.
Well I went off topic there, five years on the job and you think I've learnt nothing? Bah to that, I also end up being the leader when FC or the great boss isn't around, due to having five years of experience and a bit of an idea how to manage other people. I've also had some limited teaching experience.(around 20 days)
Anyways that is more then enough from me...

Crap
Great I just found out I missed entry into the course I wanted by a month...
So either I find another course I can do, or I go out and get a job...
Well maybe I needed this break from education and stuff...
Means I can concentrate on getting my drivers license, I guess, and getting a better job maybe.
And can focus on getting my comicing skills up
I'm supposed to have a cert IV in IT multimedia and Project Management so I'm hoping that actually means something...
Anyways the only trouble I'm having with Newstory at the moment is actually sitting down and working on it, I've planned out the next ten or so pages and have planned out the main storyline. Its supposed to go for about 100 or so pages, and I'm thinking of putting it into chapters.
The first chapter won't look to great but I'm hoping by the final chapter (4) that it will look reasonable, after which I will be starting the Realm, which has a much more developed storyline and a much larger cast.
Newstory is meant as a way for me to practice and develop my skills.
Anywho I'm going to try and see if I can still get into the course, though enrollments for it closed a month ago, I mean its Tafe not some university, I may get lucky, if that doesn't work guess I'm looking for a part time job, something to do with computers hopefully, IT support or something would be good.
Now to see how my dad reacts to this piece of news...
Oh well life goes on, the bright side is I may be getting my license soon and a new job, down side...um I'm getting a part time job and won't be a student anymore...
And just so you know I've been heavily distracted from doing much by reading other webcomics and playing a couple of games I got recently and World of Warcraft as well...
Anywho that's enough from me folks, sayonara!

You have bad luck then you have me...
I was about to fill up my dog's water today, when as I was walking to a tap, I heard a rustle of grass, still worried about the clan of huntsmen I looked down, lack forked tongue...head lifted off ground, scaled head.
Yep snake...I backed away quickly and nearly ran back inside, where upon me and my friend immediatly began looking up snake catchers. I'm afraid of Huntsman because of how they look, I'm afraid of brown snakes cause they can kill. I know snakes, I've read enough books on the buggers to know a bit about their general behavior and what they look like, and how aggressive and venomous a snake can be. I'm glad it wasn't a tiger snake, it may have tried to chase me, they are agressive buggers.
Anywho still waiting for the snake man to show up, I'll let ya know when it is removed, this snake may have been Sandro's murderer, but I ain't willing to go after it, cause I don't want to be bitten.
I just hope it doesn't go near Sally, while she would tear it to bits, she would more then likely get bitten in the process.

Yep snake...I backed away quickly and nearly ran back inside, where upon me and my friend immediatly began looking up snake catchers. I'm afraid of Huntsman because of how they look, I'm afraid of brown snakes cause they can kill. I know snakes, I've read enough books on the buggers to know a bit about their general behavior and what they look like, and how aggressive and venomous a snake can be. I'm glad it wasn't a tiger snake, it may have tried to chase me, they are agressive buggers.
Anywho still waiting for the snake man to show up, I'll let ya know when it is removed, this snake may have been Sandro's murderer, but I ain't willing to go after it, cause I don't want to be bitten.
I just hope it doesn't go near Sally, while she would tear it to bits, she would more then likely get bitten in the process.

Arachnaphobia
I hate spiders....especially big ones, like Huntsman spiders, its even worse when they are in a colony of 12 or more...I freaked when we were pulling apart a fence out behind our dog's yard when 12 of the big buggers just appeared, I can deal with most other spiders, heck I tolerate small colonies of daddy long legs , but huntsmans and wolf spiders just scare the hell out of me...
*shudder*
I have phantom crawls now...(you know imaginary feelings of being crawled on by lots and lots of spiders)
I use to love spiders, then dad chucked a huntsman skin on me, and I don't think I've ever fully recovered...
Anyways...I love our dog, she's getting on in years, but she's one healthy as hell dog despite that, I just hope she's able to deal with the spider menace better then I can, they crawled into her yard I think...
Sayonara folks...spiders...uuuurrrrgggghhhhh....

Website
I'm thinking about doing some optimization of GuardianUniverse.com, such as changing the main page for Tales From the Lettuce Patch, and putting direct links to each comic on the index page.
As the Tales Page is fairly cluttered in appearance, (in my opinion anyway) I've just gotta sought out an appropriate design for it, its also very bland, so I was thinking of putting up some coloured images, and give it, it's own menu bar instead of having text links, like I currently do.
Yeah so a little upgrade is planned for certain sections of my website, they will happe of course when they happen.
I've drawn the rough version of the first page of Newstory, but before I put it up, I need to design a front page and I've written part of the script for the firs chapter. So I can get started on making the whole thing, pretty darn soon.
My sister can be really cruel sometimes, I help fix her car for an hour, go on a trip with her for an hour so she can get replacement parts for it, and then she refuses to drive me to the supermarket, which is on the way home, which is the way we were travelling in, so then I have to walk to the supermarket, in close to 30 degree(centigrade) heat, carry home three bags of stuff, my house is about several hundred metres away from the supermarket, so it was a fairly long walk back through the heat...
Bah, anyways I don't think my sisters getting anymore help with her car from me, just not worth the effort, just so I could get treated like crap at the end of the whole ordeal.
Anyways, comics on the go, Tales update sometime tonightish and I intend to keep on practising so that I can get better, may start another comic soon, similar to Tales based of a collaborative written work I did with a friend in secondary college. It won't make much sense though... :)

WOOHOO!!!!
I have passed, at least I think I have!
Cert IV in IT multimedia, cert IV project management!
I have qualifications! Well not yet, but they should be in the mail!
So basically I'm off Tafe now, so I can focus a bit more on improving my drawing and enhance the quality of my current comic making. Also I can finally start Newstory, a comic which I said I would be starting way back in June, July.
Man baby kittens can be annoying, but I guess I have to suffer through it till they get older and calm down a little.
Anyways well that's about all I have to talk about now, so
sayonara folks till next I blog

Jazz and Monty
Soon after Sandro died me and my brother went and purchased two kittens, separately from two different places.
The cute little fuzz ball that is Monty, a ginger top with white under belly and legs, who was barely old enough to be sold. He is a great big whiner, but he's very cute. He's my brother's cat that he bought on the day of Sandro's death. A mini Milo, to a degree, and he's terrified of brooms...
And Jazz a sleek 7 week old girl kitten, before I got her she was spayed, and she's still healing from the operation. She's a very talkative cat who loves jumping on people and nuzzling their faces, though she also has a tendency to perch on people's shoulders.
Monty and her make a great pair.
But one of the things I noticed about the kittens is invariably how we compare them to Sandro, Jazz has his energy and athleticism while Monty has his gluttonous tendencies. I kinda doubt I get over Sandro's loss for a little while yet, the kittens help to remind us of him, and the fact that he is gone.
I still really want to find what killed him and bash it with a shovel.
One more assignment to go and I've got a cert IV in IT Multimedia!
I've already got a cert IV in project management, so I'm now legally qualified to run a project as a project manager, I also have a cert II in hospitality, this year I've gotten more qualifications then from the three years I spent at uni and VCE, and I've also become a much more confident artist, though I have a long way to go, I'm also trying to get my writing back into shape, so that I can at least write a decent storyline for a comic. You don't use a talent properly for three years and you notice where you've slipped. I've also found a good percentage of old stories of mine I wrote and I'm planning on adding them to the story archive on the website, when I get some time to do so.
Every exam period I have either suffered terrible hay fever or caught a nasty cold, imagine doing exams which require clear thinking when you have to worry about your nose running like a tap, your throat is sore from coughing, and your head feels or stuffing, its hard to remember things, its part of the reason I hate exams, the second I stress out the sooner I get sick. It happened at Uni it happened in VCE, it even happened in year 10, and its happened to me now, as deadlines rush in on me for handing in my work.
But meh, I get to rest soon and that'll make me feel a lot better, I can get into drawing again without having TAFE work looming over my head and I can finally start promoting my website online, (through free means of course)

Sandro you were with us for such a short time...
Today I was woken to the discovery that Sandro our cat of a year had been discovered dead by my sister when she arrived home this morning. Snakebite is suspected as the cause, but we ain't doing a post mortem to discover the cause, in fact we buried him an hour after discovering his death. Too many times have we waited too long to bury a pet and had maggots eating their corpses.
This is the first pet that I've lost recently and well lets just say it was one of the rudest wake up calls I've had in a while. The strange bit was I had a dream that was very similar to this, a couple months ago, as I was worried about neighbours killing him, due to his inexperience. To the snake that quite possibly murdered Sandro I feel a deep hatred. I'm arachnophobic not whatever the term for snakes is. I just hope our resident kowarongs(bush magpies) got it, I was very relieved to find our 13-14 year old cat Milo hadn't been got as well, and our dog Sally was fine as well. I don't know what I'd do if lost either of them.
At the moment, I am feeling great melancholy as I loved that cat, we may have had him for only a year but I will miss the poor guy, though I only knew him for a year, I'll miss the way he attacked my shoe covered foot when I put it in front of him or the way he yowled so he could be let out do go do his business. But most of all I'll miss the fact that I won't see him grow old, Given good care he could've been around till I was forty, and he would've been a good way to get over the inevitable deaths of Sally and Milo in the future, they are both getting well into their old age. My brother dealt with the loss in his typical practical if heartless manner, replace Sandro with a new kitten so he doesn't have to deal with the grief. And now I want to buy my own cat, a black cat, maybe not with the same unique coat that Sandro had or the same breed and I'll probably get a girl cat as well, but I'll miss my little buddy still...

Motivation smotivation
Hi peoples, haven't blogged in a little bit, I've been thinking what else I could do with my website, and one of the ideas that I came up with was doing reviews of games, anime and movies I've seen.
But that would be for a later time, I seem to draw best when I'm at Tafe less distractions I guess, and when i'm home I'm always getting distracted by my brother my computer, or our various consoles, or I have to help dad around the yard, digging out fence posts, let alone the fact that I feel guilty for not doing my Tafe work. So instead of drawing, writing or doing homework I end up playing computer games...maybe I need to take a short break from them, spend it writing and drawing, working on character designs, or just get my homework done so I can feel relieved in having everything handed in. At the moment I'm the only person in my course who looks even close to getting a cert IV in IT multimedia...
And I've settled on doing a diploma of IT at Tafe next year, which should get me qualified enough to get a job as IT support in most places...fun.
One of my friends just recently had his first child, so congratulations to him and his wife, and we went to a baby shower for the new family member today, me and my brother providing a large stuffed wombat and diary of a wombat by Jackie French. Though we kinda forgot to wrap it for them... :)
I do believe I'm a caffeine addict...been having way too much caffeinated drink over the past year and a bit, having money a large stomach and family members with licenses really doesn't help me attempt to kick the habit either.
I also need to sleep more, and now that I only have two days of Tafe a week, I get to sleep in more, which is a plus, though parents will be expecting me to help out around the house more, fair enough I guess...
Current anime I'm watching are:
Bleach (samurai and demons)
Eureka 7 (mecha on surf boards nuff said)
Inuyasha (Some episodes it drags but when its good its awesome!)
Black Cat (The end got a bit hard to follow)
Trinity Blood (Main character's secret powers were revealed in the first episode...)
And thats that, so sayonara folks till next I blog I guess...

AHoy Thar maties!
Woo, I got work, nearly twenty hours a week, possibly more, what I mean to say is the lettuce patch has started up again, and I am unlucky enough to be completely free the next two weeks.
Anywho which means I will have a good amount of money earned up by the end of the holidays, of which I can start saviog and putting it somewhere safe.
I've started the first Newstory strip, its going to be done in a four panel type format like Tales from the Lettuce Patch till I get to where I originally planned to start the manga thingy. I may have it done by the weekend, and up.
Geez I'm nakkered, this is the first time I can say I have worked ten hours in one day, well monday, the order was 1000 bunches of spring onions and 250 cabbage.
1 tonne of cabbage
And two bins metre cubed of spring onions.
And I've got the same number to do tomorrow as well as lettuce planting...
Well busy day tomorrow...
Not that anyone cares
Anyways I'm thinking of starting a kinda of story to TFtLP eventually, more as a way to practise story telling techniques and dialogue with it then anything ground breaking(like I could even try)
Oh and I just heard that one of my favourite authors just died without finishing the final book in his book series(well actually I heard it last week but anyway)
I started reading Robert Jordan's Wheel of time series back in grade six, and it really influenced the way I (try to) write.
So in a way those were the first real fantasy books I broke my teeth on, other then the ones read to us by my teacher.
So in closing I've got places to go, many areas to improve upon, and a fan base of two people visiting my website each day, so I think I've got soemthing going on here
Sayonara folks and keep visiting GuardianUniverse.com, I want to beat last months number of visits!

Okay new plans for the website
Rightio first off I've started doing Tales From the Lettuce patch again, this time in a new easier to draw in format, the panels are no longr hand drawn.
Anwyays, currently I've decided to set TFtLP up as a once a week fair, this is to give me time to work on the other projects I'm working on.
These projects are the Realm manga(well atempt at manga), which I have decided to give a sporadic update schedule as the pages are much bigger then any of the other comic strips content wise, and I may not get one done a week, I might set it up to be once a month type of update.
The other comic strip I've got in the making, is Diaries of a drifter, it will be set in the same world as Newstory but will be several years earlier.
The other project I'm planning on doing is changing a story(term used loosely) which my friend Brendan and I coauthored into a comic, the main characters are going to be Simy from TFtLP and another character to represent my friend Brendan's character in the story. It will be extremely strange and random!(here's hoping I can draw it)
I'm also planning on updating the stories section at some point, with a sequal of sorts to Jake's little adventure, which I haven't started planning yet. It's a parody of one of my story worlds.
And I may start trying to write the Realm as well, to keep pace with the manga, thingy...
Also I have that game I'm going to hopefully have done by Friday to put up as well, which I will try to keep updating and improving upon.
Other then that, I'll be performing little updates here and there, and may even eventually start trying to advertise Guardianuniverse.com a little on the net, by joining some of those forum type things.
Anyways I've yabbered on enough so sayonara folks and wish me luck!

ZZZZZzzzzzzz....
I've been really tired all week, so in short progress on the new Realm comic, is a page and a 1/2, I've planned out a basic storyboard of the next nine pages and I've been working on the primary character illustrations.
Characters in the Realm
Eledor
Aeries
Finn
Arden
and a few others but those four are the primary characters I'll introduce in the first chapter.
Oh right for the Realm comic I'm planning on going for a chapter length of around 25 pages. I doubt the quality will be that great, I'm still learning at the moment. But my brother has actually started giving me some decent criticism of what I've I've done so far, which is helping more then he probably knows.
Anyways, if all goes well I'll have the first three pages up and ready to go up next weekend.
I'm also planning a different kind of comic, that I'm working on the ideas at the moment, I'll let you guys (however many are left be the judge of how good it will be when I eventually put that one up to.
I love Youtube, found some of Iron Maiden's live performances, and I've gotta say they are awesome live, the energy these old guys have is scary. Bruce the singer scales the scaffolding surrounding them at one point, climbs about five metres before he starts pointing out to the crowd leaping around on a small platform, then manages to get down in time to deliver his singing lines.
Even my sister thought they were pretty impressive, for the five seconds she watched them...(more a punk fan)
Anyways, I'm trying my drandest to get better at drawing, I still can't do decent looking 3/4 views of characters, so don't be surprised if I stick to profiles fron and back views of characters, and I'm not to good at drawing hand yet either, though I'm getting better.
Other then that, I'll update the site tomorrow, and next weekend I should be putting up my flash game as well, it should be done by then. I'll put it in the random stuff section when I do. Now I really need some sleep...
Sayonara folks have a good weekend if you can! If you can't well...uh...have good...uh...freetime...yeah

Bahg
Okay's I think I'm going to scale back TFtLP to one comic a week, seeing as I have more time to spend on each one I may try and colour them as well...
Anyways the reason for this is I've started watching TV again(the greatest of all evils) and my brother recently bought an expensive keyboard with the ability to make fairly epic sounding music...also TAFE has decided to plop the job of writing a twenty page feasibility report on my shoulders, and I need to start doing programming tutorials from home, so that I can make zee games that I'm making in my course.
One is a 2d side scroller flash game, that I will try and incorporate some story comics into, based of my Return of Ruin Storyline(the one with mechs and spaceships) the other is a 3d game based of the opening of the Surudush Campaign(The one where Eledor walks into a city and kills mercenaries who slaughtered the entire population of said town)
SO far I have a basic setup for the Flash game, I know what I want to do for it, I just need to start pumping out some content for it, the 3d one is far more complex requiring the use of a game engine, and if anyone tells you modeling a person in 3d is easy kick them for me...
Anyways other then that I think from now on I will have an update every Saturday for the website, though as I am supposedly out of work for nine weeks, I have mondays free to do extra stuff, and yes Brendan I will try and fit in some more gamework for ya.
other then that...I've got nothing...Sayonara folks please visit my website, and tell friends about it, my visits over July were half what they were on June(visits means the amount of people who logged onto the website.)
Have fun!
Anyways the reason for this is I've started watching TV again(the greatest of all evils) and my brother recently bought an expensive keyboard with the ability to make fairly epic sounding music...also TAFE has decided to plop the job of writing a twenty page feasibility report on my shoulders, and I need to start doing programming tutorials from home, so that I can make zee games that I'm making in my course.
One is a 2d side scroller flash game, that I will try and incorporate some story comics into, based of my Return of Ruin Storyline(the one with mechs and spaceships) the other is a 3d game based of the opening of the Surudush Campaign(The one where Eledor walks into a city and kills mercenaries who slaughtered the entire population of said town)

Blegh!?
Hellos peoples from that place somewhere...
Anyways I've been very slack with my comic strips over the past two weeks, but then I spend at least an hour and a half of my free time over a period of four days watching anime, and because I'm extremely lazy I don't get around to it...anyways today marks an important step in my Tales from the Lettuce patch, from now on I will completely fineline each strip, which means I can more easily colour them in if I so choose.
Other then that not much happening, though I do have to do a 20 page feasibility report , design a 3d game, complete with 3d models, design a flash game, complete with action script...and have to make a film which I can edit, and people are still dropping like flies from my course...Though some are moving onto bigger and better things, others just couldn't be bothered turning up...
Anyways I ain't quitting yet, I'm starting to think that I need to do some upgrading to my computer, I mean its only got a 120GB hard drive on it...(I know it sounds big but when you combine music, videos, lots of games, 250mb patches for said games, it starts looking quite small), and a 256mb graphics card.
For that I need money, so I figure I need to save money, better then I have currently because my current efforts of saving money has thus far been pretty piss poor...
Aside from that BLEGH
Rightio I'm off to update GuardianUniverse.com
Sayonara folks!
