Poking the workpile

[secondlina]

This week was pretty much nothing but Namesake - savvyliterate  visited for us to start preparing all things relating to the second Namesake kickstarter. It was nothing but comic talk, awesome geekiness and tea. So, good week. I'm working on preparing the stuff for the kickstarter in advance this time, rather then rushing afterwards to get them done and sent to the folks who nicely toss money at us. January is when the kickstarter stars, so I still have a bit of time! Looking forwards to inking the cover. The image on top is the sketch for the exclusive kickstarter print.



In a few days it's December, time to decorate tiny apartment trees hehehehe!

Yesterday, I went to my friend Boum's booklaunch. It was for an amazing book with a Les Miserable feel called "little revolution". It's amazing. An English version is in the works, i'll be sure to link you guys when it's ready.

In other news, you guys, if you can (and love animation), please see Rise of the Guardians. The movie isn't doing too well box-office wise despite how awesome it is, and it's a shame, because there's so much story to tell with this super-team that not having a sequel would suck the big one. And there's so much fan and canon material to enjoy after. Rufftoon, a dreamworks employee, has magnificent fan comics on her deviant art page. And the original novels are delightful. I've already been thrice to toss money at this (don't worry, I see most animated movies at least twice, this is normal). The artbook is awesome too. Just saying - it's worth your money, if you have any you can spare.

Finally, my brain is giving me some chronological dreams with odd but intriguing storylines. I actually forced myself back to sleep all the way up to 11 am this morning to see where this one was going. It was about this kid going to an Utena-esque school who always wore a big black coat and long sleeves, apparently to hide something. The other students (mainly bullies) were curious, so they challenged him to a contest. If he would win, he'd get a date with the girl of his dreams. If he'd loose though, he has to show what was under the coat. The contest was... weird (ipad throwing contest over a gorge of flames, don't ask). After some character development, the boy ended up losing, and obviously I woke up before seeing what was under the coat WHY BRAIN WHY?

LOL! Don't you hate when dreams do that to you? :P

I love studying your process. Drawing multiple characters on one page always gives me eye twitches ;)

Woot to kickstarter start! I'm thankful you guys wait until tax return time! That helps immensely in the ability to give :)
