I've still been sick, but dammit, I have not let that get in the way of my work! ( Updates under here! )

| updating this for the heck of it |
[07 Oct 2009|01:30am] |
I've been sick as of lately, damn sinus infection so I've had headaches, tooth aches and all kinds of pain. Granted it's not as bad as it was before... when I just felt weak and tired all the time and had no motivation at all. god I hate when that happens.
anyways not a whole lot going on with me, just trying to get back into my working mode, I've finished more character profiles, completely redid Victoria's because I found the first one to be lacking something.
here's the latest two
William Sterling & Victoria
 
Still more to go................I'm also going to rewrite some of the old profile descriptions to get up to
date with the current status of the story. Hey it's almost been two years, why the heck not? lol
Still working on the comic, tempted to do some more scripting revisions before I continue, but only because I've got better ideas in mind.
Chapter 16 is still in progress, I ended up taking a break from it because I'm not always in the right mood to write, and I don't want those moods affecting the story. Like for example, I'll be bored or tired, so I'd end up writing a boring scene with little or no initiative at all. Yeah I have far too much appreciation for the story to let that happen, so I'll wait till I'm in the right mood.
speaking of moods, I've found that I'm more at ease when I'm listening to certain songs, I guess it just relaxes the imagination or something.
and I've come to realize that I've fallen in love with this song
I'm already addicted to this genre of music as it is, but certain songs have more of an appeal to me this one's already stuck in my head. Yes I know the title seems like a misspelling, but that's how it was when I first got it, so I went with it.

Well, I am still dealing with the same drama but it has died down somewhat....I think however, I am trying to reason with some of these people, but we'll see if that pays off in the end on another note I finished chapter 15 a week ago and just now got to posting it on FF. It's a little longer than previous chapters but I guess that's a good thing right? Beware, there's a lot of foreshadowing and Zyrian language lol. I actually give the readers more background to the race, via their culture and the hell they endured in the past. and before I say anything else, because I know someone will probably ask me, but yes Stan uses a holographic projector to create his human guise, the only parts of him that are "real" is his uniform and the belt and shoes. So basically hes just a robot in human's clothes. hope that makes sense now. Also I've come up with a new method to approaching the comic-ing process, I've started writing the scripts for more than one page. Before I'd just do one at a time which is why I'd get slowed down because I wouldn't know how to approach the following page and so on. So as of now I've got the scripts for 8, 9, 10 & 11! And as I go, I'll just keep writing them so it makes it easier to follow. This way I can also read over them obsessively like I normally do, and change what I don't like.

Well this update is going to be long as heck, and why? because I've got a lot to talk about for one. Over the past few weeks myself and some friends have found ourselves in a never ending battle. Pro HG fans VS Anti HG fans, silly I know but sadly this is what the Robotech fandom has come to ever since the release of TSC, a mediocre film that took years to make, and left die hard fans in extreme anticipation. Only once a lot of these fans (including myself) watched the film, we were highly disappointed. But of course, there were also those who liked the movie and now there is going to be a sequel *shudder* I didn't like the first one, so it's apparent I won't give a damn about the second *sigh* Not going to get into the reasons why I didn't like it, too many to state however I will say that the difference of opinion doesn't seem to matter to some fans, and because of this it leads to pointless fighting. And because of the direction RT is going right now, I do not support HG in fact I am against what they've done, and this has caused quite a few individuals to turn on me. My opinion, I am entitled to it, however a certain someone does not see it that way and has taken the liberty of removing any posts I've made on RTX or RT.com where I am criticizing HG and their cheap ass movie (sorry for the language) There's a lot more but I'm not going to touch it, instead I created a new RT community for a bunch of people I've gotten to know and like. So it became our own forum, for our art, and our fiction with the option to freely criticize HG. Well in attempt to gain more members, myself and another friend and member, went ahead and made announcements. It was going smoothly at first, but once someone who disagreed with our criticism pointed it out (while trolling us), one of the moderators sided with the trolls and deleted our posts out of spite. <facepalm> Tired of this malarky, I had taken the liberty to remove myself from RTX, as I do not wish to be associated with a site that does not live up to its meaning, nor allow the diversity of opinions. Now I didn't even bother to post a long ass farewell ( I hate those) I just made a quick post saying I'm gone and left it at that. I'm still getting nasty PMS on that site from a few unstable individuals, but I'm also getting responses from people who are upset that I made that decision. Well to them I'm sorry, but when I make a choice, I stick with it. It is kind of sad because I was one of the top contributors there, but apparently what I did wasn't enough to spare the hatred. Now that I've gotten the drama out of my system (for now) I had been working on my project, trying to finish chapter 15 and trying complete the rest of the profile images. sadly all of this calamitous dribble has put a halt on my production phase and for that I am rather furious, as it should not have that affect. Despite those issues I have managed to update the website but I am a little ticked I can't get it to look a certain way. But right now the website is not my top priority so it will have to suffice for now. In other news I found a new publisher for the my next book project. This one I am doing all by myself, so it should be interesting.

Ever since Comic con ended, I had been getting back to my schedule I had made for myself, while making an effort to get as much of it completed of course. A lot of what I put on that to-do list were projects I had been wanting to do for the longest time, but never quite got around to them. Well I'm glad that has changed! Here's one of the first things I've been working on. New profile images for the website. ( more here! )

Well comic con 09 is officially on for this weekend and so far some of the pictures have been really neat. almost makes me want to be there heh. In other news I finally finished chapter 14 got it posted on the site and FF.net. Took me a while because I was in a slump and found myself busy with others things, but I'm going to be more flexible with my schedules from now on! Page 6 of the comic is still in progress and I hope to have that complete by the end of next week. I've started writing chapter 15 (the story is really starting to take off now) so far I like what I'm doing with it, I feel it's important to explore other elements, one in particular the Zyrian's culture. We know enough about the mannerisms of Atlantis XD Also my site has undergone a lot of changed, some things were deleted, others just updated. Right now the profiles page is down because I am working on that. I'm re-writing some of the bios and of course I've got new pictures planned, so that's another task of mine. Right now I am bothering a buddy of mine for pics of my stuff at comic con hehe, I want to see!!! The excitment is killing me XD

I've been in an art frenzy lately, working on different pictures, but I'd say that's a good thing because there are times when I want to paint something, but just don't have the motivation or desire to. So I've been taking advantage of this precious time and getting the most out of it :D ( See here! )

I got bit by the digital painting bug tonight and decided to do a character portrait :D I chose miss Thompson because I felt bad for not including her in the flyer art so here it is 
Only took about four hours total, kind of a speed painting for me haha. I decided to do it in a different style this time. I used a vintage movie poster and made a palette out of the colors for this one I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, I even used a tutorial on DA for the soft look, which is odd for me since I really don't use those, just references if I need them bad enough. Hopefully it doesnt look too saturated.. I always worry about that when I transfer my art to this laptop, and find out that its might lighter, then I end up tweaking the hell out of the contrast to get the same appearance as on my desktop monitor heh well now that I've gotten this done, back to work on the comic... so close to finishing my two page update

My good friend David from robotech X, and being that he is my biggest fan came up with the idea of Atlantech flyers for San Diego Comc Con 09. Of course I liked the idea and had to come up with something, even though it took longer than I wanted, but patience does pay off especially when you're waiting for the right concept. ( Look here! )

Ack, ideas they are attacking me! .....in other words I've got so many things on my mind, I just can't seem to focus on one thing right now. I'm still working on the web comic adaption, but had to go through several ideas and trash them one by one just until I had the right idea and where I was going to take it. And now? I think I've got it, its more of a let's dive in and see where it goes kind of approach now. *sigh* It's different when it comes down to it, different than writing anyway.. because with writing you just flesh out everything in text as you see it in your mind, but with art you transfer those images to the drawing board and try to get the same feel, which is also lengthy. I just don't have the ambition right now, and I wish I knew why.... perhaps someone needs to give a me a kick or something... I really do want to accomplish this, but i just want to do it right, am I making sense?

Chevelle - Send The Pain Below |

Well spring is here and that means so are my allergies, and they've been pretty bad so far. I feel out of it and worn down, can't say my psorasis makes it any better ugh. Well anyways, I finished chapter 13 a few days ago, and I'm actually happy because for the longest time I wasn't sure which direction to take it in, but a little time spent thinking it over did a lot of good. My initial idea was to focus on something different and I thought the blooming romance between William and Victoria would be a good idea, because I had planned back then, but wasn't sure which chapter it would end up in..... with me you never know. I got all these ideas and I'm trying to fit every single one into a chapter as it progresses. So far it's working and along the way I'm getting new ideas to help me out. Anyways I've recently decided to start doing pictures for each chapter and so this is the illustration for chapter 13. I had actually had the idea in mind before I wrote it, so I did the drawing before I did any writing heh. kind of backwards is it not? ( Read more... )

Well I've still been busy somewhat, although my laptop still makes annoying sounds, it doesnt do it all the time. which is a relief but I still think it needs to be fixed. I've been going through my old fanart from two years ago, and kinda touching up some of it because I realize I never submitted them to DA. I still wonder why I don't sometimes, I guess I'm just too picky when it comes to art, and if something doesnt look right, then I don't want others to see it till its fixed. Ah yes, I am strange like that! well anyway here's a little change of pace. I've drawn miss Betty Boop in a I guess "Atlantech" fashion heh. As if she were a character in Atlantis City, this is what she would look like. 
uh oh! vicky would definitely have competition lol her and Natoya both ^__^
