 Okay then. 

I managed to finish all the inking/shading/coloring of all the Jabberwocky pages, illustrations and covers. Whew. The biggest part of the job is done. Huzzah. Now we are entering the preparation for printing stages, but that's handled mostly by my editor, so on my side, i'm pretty much done.

And i'm never, ever doing such a large comic on such a tight deadline again. That was insane. The resulting comic is pretty okay. As said before, I could have done a better job if I had a couple of months to work on it. But for something made in the space of a single month during my free time (because I was still going to work at my tech support job, mind you!), it's pretty good. It was an interesting experience. This also proves that I totally have badass cartoonist blood in me. Badass. Aw yeah.

So I guess I can start being social again pretty soon! I might take a few relaxing non-busy days just to chill and recovered from the whole "Going to bed at 2 am every day" deal I was going through. I'm gonna draw some Namesake pages to catch up as soon as i'm done chilling for the day.

Have some more Jabberwocky pages! Sorry if it's not many. I though I could post the whole thing here, but turns out, that's probably a stupid idea, all things considered. Though, if you're interested to see where this creepy tale goes, you can purchase the book when it comes out. I'll be sure to set up a selling post here on LJ as soon as it's printed.

Jabberwocky pages 1-4










That's all for now!

I love the way you draw dresses so much ! :D

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha! I practice a LOT. I wanted to design clothing when I was younger.

[spankingfemme.livejournal.com]

Fantastic! You rock my sweet! =D You finished with 1/3 of the month still left! And such badassary you've made from the above! Can't wait to get a copy and read it all!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks, your so sweet! :D Technically, I sorta started on the last week of February, so this took exactly a month. The last week of March was a security buffer.

[spankingfemme.livejournal.com]

Ha ha well, results in a timely fashion are still apt here. ;) It's also good to think/start ahead with all things that can go wrong along the way

I really like how the doll "morphs" from cute, innocent doll to....dun dun DUN!

Congrats! You just worked within a strict deadline! Just like a "real" artist! ^_-

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Yep. I tried to make the morph really... interesting. You can already soo the buck-teeth of the Jabberwock in the doll...

I am a "real" artist :P *laughing* I SWEAR!

[elirrina.livejournal.com]

That's fantastic! ...and I'm kind of concerned about where it goes from there... ;)

[kayla marie (from livejournal.com)]

Well, it is a story about insanity... You SHOULD be concerned. ;)

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

This comic is pretty much described by the sentence "and then, it got worse..."

Congratulations on beating the deadline and finding your inner badass! I hope you have fun on your upcoming lazy days; you've earned it!

I can't wait for this book to go on sale.
Will it be cool if I send you a check again? Be sure to tell me which superhero you want to see on it. LOL

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Got any Batman?

[brendala.livejournal.com]

Yep!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Batman it will be then!

[yukinoomoni.livejournal.com]

Isa, I love your art style. It sweeps me away. It's original, flowing, and beautiful. I can't wait until you get famous and I hope I'm alive to see it. You are so gifted.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you. This made me blush. I,m glad you love it so much.

I hope i'll be alive to see it too lol. I really don't want to be one of those "famous after you die" types...

[yukinoomoni.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, I'll make sure that doesn't happen to you =3

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

No Van Goht Emo-ness for Isa

[merc16.livejournal.com]

Beautiful! Amazing artistry!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Many thanks!

[sockefeller.livejournal.com]

This looks fantastic! And suitably creepy as hell. Can't wait to see the real thing. :) Congratulations!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Hahahahah! I'll be able to show it to you in person even! Considering the thing is to be sold at the TCAF

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

Congrats for finishing!! You do like the creepy, though...

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

I do. I really do.

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

You know, I was reading the first book in the Percy Jackson and The Olymians series 'The Lighting Thief' and a few of the prophetic dreams in there really made me think of you and your art style. There were quite a few macabre elements, like skeletons and ghostly spirits and dark chasms and the like...

Strange...

Anyway, from what I've read so far, it seems like a pretty good book series.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Just don't watch the movie. It's disapointing.

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

(and I meant to say Olympians. Accursed typos...)

Yeah, I've heard that from others. I think I'll be sticking to the books series with this one.
