Great balls of fire!

Check it out. I managed to finish the Namesake prologue (9 pages) and now i'm working my way thru the first chapter. A total of 25 pages must be drawn before the launch, 15 to be already posted and 10 for me to have a good 3 week advance on my pages.  So far, 12 pages are completed, 3 are almost completed. 10 are left to go. And i've still got about a month. Not bad, not bad.  I'm advancing well.

In internet news, have you guys seen Anime Network News this morning? Apparently, is Ed was a real person, he could have won a contest. Because one of his manga quotes was entered for him by a fan in a contest. What type of contest? Click the link and find out!

(WARNING, spoilers for the last Fullmetal alchemist manga. Only click on the link if you have not read it, or if you don't care about the series and just want a cute story that includes anime.)

Wow. I don't have much to say today. All I seem to do lately is draw Namesake and surf the internet *laughs*

I,m slowly turning into the hermit of the third floor again.

MWAHAHAHA!

I kinda wish I had a pet. Maybe a pet crow. Maybe a dozen pet crows. That I could sic on people while "Ride of the Valkyries" is playing

It looks spectacular. I'm very curious about your Namesake comic.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I hope you'll like it. I'm nervous about my friends liking it *laughs*

I'll send you one of the cats. Cats are like crows. Only without wings.

[threeeyesworm.livejournal.com]

Cats are so much better than crows!

Secondlina, do you write namesake yourself or do you work on it with someone else?

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Actually I work with dqbunny. We are co-creators. The only role in Namesake that is clearly define is "artist" and that's pretty only because dqbunny can't draw. Everything else is the result of teamwork or debating.

[dqbunny.livejournal.com]

Yup, she works on it with me. *waves* Hello!

The artwork is all Isa. I can draw stick figures at best. The writing and the storyline is done by both of us. I designed and keep up with our shiny website.

[threeeyesworm.livejournal.com]

Ahhh I seee. Where is this shiny website!? How has it ellude me?

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

It's elluding the whole world right now. Since we are still building it. But as soon as launch day comes around... *is nervous*

[dqbunny.livejournal.com]

It's not public yet. We're making fixes while we have a few pages to work with, and we want to have a good number of pages up and backlogged for posting before the site goes public. When it does, we'll both be screaming it from the rooftops ... and our LJs. ^_~

What if I feed them red bull?

Congrats on your comic! It's looked like it's going to be interesting for a while now!

I always ran out of ideas for comics that weren't comedy/one-shots.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Most of my ideas are one-shots too. This is one of my only epic stories. *laughs*

If you ever do get a pet crow, be sure to do something to indicate THIS IS NOT A WILD CROW. I think it was a great uncle or someone in my family who actually did raise a crow as a pet way back in the day, but someone thought his crow was just a regular wild crow..so they shot and killed it. From what I hear, pre-death, the crow was an awesome pet, if not a trouble maker. (Don't I have the most random family ever?)

You commanding an army of crows to dramatic music would be both awesome and terrifying. :P

That cover looks pretty amazing! I'm loving the way you did the wings~ Can't wait until you two officially launch the comic!

[brendala.livejournal.com]

That drawing is gorgeous. I can't wait for Namesake to premiere! ^_^

That story about the guy winning the contest by stealing an FMA quote is awesome. I wonder if the manga writer will get the cash prize. lol

YAAAAAY :D

EEEEEEEE!!!! New arts!!!

And the dark haired girl totes reminds me of Lisbeth Salander from the Millennium Trilogy. At first that's what I thought it was fanart for. And if you haven't read the books, you really should...

LOL, I loved Ed's proposal! It was so sweet and so very him!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

I heard of the millenium trilogy. I rather like their covers! Never picked it up though. Might pick up the french version some day. what's it about?

It's a pretty great proposal.

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

You really should. I've only read the first book so far, but it's really excellent. They're mysteries, but the main draw (for me at least) are the characters. It's kind of hard to describe exactly. Lisbeth herself is an asocial computer hacker who's pretty punkish. That's why your character reminds me of her since she has that sort of look to her.

LOL! A pack of attack crows eh? :P Fun

Awesome pic! The colors are quite vibrant as well! =D
