The better of me

secondlinaMan, I want to draw a bunch of comics so bad. I'm really loving all these comics other artists are posting online. Short little things, just a couple of pages, but always so gorgeous. Like Emily Carroll's dream journals or Ryan A.'s strange and dark universe. Love. Love. Love. There's just a huge lack of short comics i'm not doing. This journal needs more comics. All I keep posting is illustrations. Comics dammit! COMICS!
At least i'm motivated.
Still no news about the trip to France to attend the Lyon Comic Festival. I'm going to clear that up this weekend with my editor. Which is a good thing because this is currently super-last-minute. Yikes. I'm currently working on drawing all the Namesake pages I need so that the comic updates while i'm gone. Considering there's like.... 12 pages needed, I wasn't sure if I would be able to do it. Thankfully, friends have offered to do some guest art, so whether I manage to or not, at least the comic will update. I don't want to go on hiatus. I really feel like going on a hiatus while the comic is still developing like that is basically putting a death sentence on it. So i'm using other solutions.
In other news, my parents are back from their travels across the USA. My mother actually got me some Alice and Oz themed stuff she found around (they also stayed at an Alice in Wonderland themed Inn. No joke. STEAL THE LAMPS, MOM. STEAL.)
I started sketching again in this simplistic style I really enjoy but don't use often. Here are the "Thor", "Avatar" and "Namesake" themed results.

Date: 2011-06-01 09:03 pm (UTC)Beware the simplistic styles! They really are so much fun, but before long, you find yourself doing everything in that style! And then it extends to other art forms, and before you know it, you have adorable little plushie critters swarming your home! ...oh wait, maybe that's just me... Seriously though, these would be great for t-shirt designs!

Date: 2011-06-01 09:40 pm (UTC)I'm working on a number of short stories right now. I just need to research the heck out of them, since I'll be drawing things that I've never actually tried to draw before. Like airplanes that actually look like airplanes. Hahaha!
It looks like I'll also have to convert the Namesake fanart I was working on into a comic, too.
I just wish it didn't take me so long to work on everything!
COMIIIIICSSSS! 8U

And the guest art should be pretty interesting!!
And, I was informed by Megs, that I was the very first to buy the Emma/Warrick print! *is proud*

Well, no, not really. Basically, if I'm gone, we need some posts and I can't do all. And since part of what makes Namesake is the high quality art, I asked among my friends if there was people interested in guest artsing. Because.... I know wayyyyy too many talented people. I feel dwarfed by their pure awesome.
