I'm back, babeh!


Whew. This was a long break. I decided to do as less drawing or art-related things as possible during my xmas break. I needed a break from drawing. As much as I love it, all my contracts and stuff are killing my free time and turning drawing into a chore. I drew a little of course (deadlines oblige) and I tried out my new graphic tablet, with Link giving me a few pointers on stuff. Turns out we actually own the same model of graphic tablet. For years now, I've been using this tiny wacom my friend Fauve lended me. Having a much bigger, badder tablet feels a little weird, since i'm used to the smaller one, but it's still pretty sweet.

I bought a pile of comics to read, unfortunatly, the pile did not include Slayers Knight of Aqualord since the french comic is not currently available in Canada (there is 3 months in between it's publication and it's importation to Canada. It was published on the 27th of november, meaning i've still got a while to wait! NNNNOOOO!)

Today I finished (WITH MY TABLET!!!!) my drawing the the Slayers X-mas exchange on [livejournal.com profile] theslayers 
I'm posting it here because it's my first official art with my tablet and because whomever will see it on [livejournal.com profile] theslayers will know it's my drawing anyways (the style kinda says it all)



Oh, and 2009 resolutions? Hummm....

- Make a comic dammit.

Ugh, I need to finish my Secret Santa by tomorrow. *falls over* And no hermit for you lest I fly up there and kick your butt.

*curls up next to you and goes back to sleep*

Hey, you're not truly a hermit until you get rid of the voices in your head, am I right?

XD

Exactly. *pats the speaking work creatures inside your head*

You could still finish the Oz comic. Just saying.

The picture looks great! It just depresses me even more that the airline lost my things - tablet included! ;_;

Gah, I WANT to finish oz. Should get on that someday.

NOOOOO CURSE YOU, AIRLINES!

*snuggles* That picture is beautiful. It's very nice.

*then bats your head with a rolled up newspaper* That's for the possibility you think you have a deadline with me. No deadlines at all! Got it? :P

Nahhh, all my deadlines are related to a book i'm illustrating. Personal stuff went on hold XD
