So, let’s talk, shall we?

I’ve officially begun my vacation on a productive note (though not catching up on my backlog of comics yet, a-heh,) with some cooking, fine tuning of my resume and portfolio, as well as working on getting a new banner up here and finally remembering to re-add the paypal button to my sidebar. I also sold off some old stuff, to free up space (though honestly not that much aside from the outgrown clothes.)

Normally I wouldn’t just outright go EY SEND ME MONEY, and I don’t want to go dangling ‘premium content’ over people’s heads or anything like that, but I’ve been kind of thinking since the last auto-renewal of my hosting plan came at kind of a dicey time for me financially last year, maybe I should attempt to at least get it to pay for itself. That has a little less personal stigma for me than having a donation drive every time one of my consoles or computers breaks down, so if I could bring the cost down a bit, that’d be swell, and if I ended up with some absurd surplus of donations that gets me a new wacom or something, hey, that’d be awesome. All I’m asking (not demanding or anything like that) is if you like my drawing, writing, or any of that stuff, feel free to tip a buck or two. I’m also pretty open for drawing  comissions again (I have a photo-restoration and a couple logos in queue other than my personal stuff, which isn’t much,) if anyone wants something more ‘tangible’ for their money.

In other news, I’ve been invited to the Anime Punch! con as a guest Game Master, to sort of demo the Dream Pod 9 Silhouette RPG system and probably pimp some of my own work in one fell swoop. The scenario I’m kicking around right now: post-apocolyptic bikers vs. a berserk traffic-control system. Details as they come.

Well, that was kind of dry, wasn’t it? I’ll make my next update soon. And more interesting.

OK, Here’s the Deal

I’m postponing RK’s return ’til next week. I’m working on new layouts for both sites, and looking at code makes my head hurt since that side of my brain is atrophied and weak (I confess, I’m more of a WYSIWYG type.) I’m frankly sick of RK.com’s navigation or lack thereof, and I wanna fix that asap. Or at least make it somewhat easier on the eyes…

Actually, nobody probably cares, right?

Sora Amena(Sketch)
The ‘shrinemaiden’ in Panel 6 here is actually Sara’s sister, Sora. Aside from the initial cast (who sort-of grandfathered in) I’ve tried to avoid too many Japanese names in order to make the Western setting work better. Just another thing I failed at, huh? Anyway, such names are all kosher while in Xanang, a nation which is a probably-insulting mash-up of China and Japan.

The next two chapters will be pretty focused on Sara’s motivations for being well, an embezzling bitch. Sora is a money-grubber as well, but does it by holding a lot of odd jobs (Obviously, a priest with a combination axe/wand-thingy probably does some high-contact ‘warding…’) I was kind of worried about rushing things, but given the amount of pages that’ve been them standing around in the cabin of an out of control airship already, my ‘rushed’ pace is starting to feel like a better idea (and really, it does make the archives feel livelier when stuff happens more regularly.)

(God, how I abuse parentheses.)

Another Weekly Something

Another Weekly Something published on No Comments on Another Weekly Something

RK will be back next week, as previously/vaguely implied, I’m taking the hiatus week I skipped between 13 and 14 to make up for the reboot. Don’t worry though, I’m getting way ahead in penciling, which should be good as far as avoiding so many delays once we resume with track 15.

As tempting as it is to, you know, fucking nuke everything and start it over again.

I was an avid follower of Your Webcomic Is Bad(…) when they were updating, and as someone drawing something easy to dismiss as an ‘animu bullshit’ comic, naturally every so often it would make me stop and think about what traps I do and don’t fall into. I’m glad so many people have given me good feedback, by which I clarify, regardless of positivity or negativity, points out a direction in which to improve.

One time I posted a page on 4chan in hopes of attracting the maybe two people there who actually do real critiques. For the most part, it was, as in their native tongue, FAIL. The most generous comment was something along the lines of “The first panel looks okay, then you stopped trying.” Which really, pretty much hit the nail on the head.

It’s pretty clear that lately I’ve been going more experimental as far as trying new art styles, be they the ultra-ultra thick look I went with for a while,  the ‘blobby lineless’ style, or going back to normal for the end of the chapter. I kinda liked that style, but it was pretty easy to get sloppy with. I’m starting the next chapter in a similar manner, I think, but only if the first page looks good enough, otherwise it goes right back to the regular ink style.

Anywho. I’ll start off with the traditional three a week thing when i get back to it.

Just a quick one before work.

Didn’t get very far with the comic last night, as wussy as it sounds it was more of a ‘mood’ thing than an actual lack of time. I was sort of having an art block on the second panel that I just couldn’t break. I may just save up instead and post over the weekend and push next week’s to T-R. This is also partly because of grand opening week at the store, which I’m sure will bring with it all sorts of wonderfully aggravating encounters. If I’m not too dead tonight, I’ll see how far I can get and hopefully put the next one up this evening still. Chapter’s more than half over, at least. Maybe after this I can get a buffer of more than two strips in during my week off. (I skipped my usual chapter break off before 14 due to the reboot of track 13.)

I tried making one of these out of Sculpey clay yesterday. It’s not going so hot yet, but I’m hopeful!
