Once again...

 

... I fail at posting. This was such a crazy week - I din't even update tumblr or twitter. Crazy! This is my first real day off in a week. I'm going to spend it drawing some comic pages for something very special! I won a local contest here hosted by Hachette. Basically, you had to doodle a short story on the theme of lumberjacks and woods. So I did a comic based on an old Quebecois ghost story about a tree-lady (kinda like a nymph I guess, but not). I can't post the comic, but i'll show you guys the cover when it's done!

I'm proud of myself. I'm in the second stage of professional artist-ness. At least I feel like i'm on stage two. The first is "work like a crazy person and don't get paid". The second is "work even more, but get paid". The third is "work a normal amount because you do this full-time and get paid". I'm on stage two. This is exciting. I'm also getting a bunch more contracts in school, I suspect in part because I appeared on the news talking about manga. Go figure!

Rise of the Guardians comes out this week. You cannot believe how excited I am for this. When I was a kid, I wrote a story kinda like it, using childhood mythology folks as soldiers  protecting the dreams of kids. So, this is like my childhood dream movie. I really can't wait. 

The drawing on top is a commission for a friend of one of the protagonists of her version of Snow White. Not gonna lie, I drew this for the textures. It was really fun. 

It other news, Montreal is humid and it makes it really bloody cold. Urgh.
