So this was way back when I tried watching sports, and naturally cheered for the home team. Just one of those rare instances where I actually tried watching sports...But really, I never could get into them; and I haven't cared for the Lakers since. XD
Anyway, so this week I planned on posting a newer comic, but here's the strange thing: I was working on it earlier this a couple of days ago, and did the basic sketch of all the panels. The next day, I open the file and I find only one panel completed, instead! And I know I saved every ten minutes when I first sketched it. c_c I checked all of the other files in that folder in case I accidentally saved over another one. Turns out, I didn't...And now I'm left scratching my head as I wonder how the hell those sketches did not get saved, when I know I saved very often. c.c And this isn't the first time that's happened, so I seriously want to know how that happens and why. --; Well, I'll see if I can have a new comic next weekend. ^^;
Aaaaaaand also, I've totally conquered the hell out of SAI. It's almost impossible finding a tutorial that tells you the recommended brush settings - that affects how the color and blending comes out. XD Aaaaaand I wish Copic Markers weren't so expensive...because I seriously want to try them out too... XD; I think I'll be sticking with pencils and watercolors for a good while, not that I'm complaining or anything. I just really want to try new things with my art. XD Well, later all.
AKA: complete misuse of Google Translator. :B And if you already speak French, I guess the joke was killed right on the third panel. XD;
I'm surprised I even have today's comic. I was in such a funk yesterday, and this morning I was feeling pretty down. But a bit of good food, some anime, and listening to some great music picked me right back up. "Ultra Blue" is one of the coolest albums by Hikaru Utada I've heard so far, it's also got one of my favorite songs by her: "Passion" (also featured as the opening theme for Kingdom Hearts II). I've been on a serious J-Pop kick lately. XD;
DISCLAIMER: I do not speak a word of French, I will not be held responsible if the entire population of France decides to hate you for being such a silly platypus, and took my French lessons seriously.
And if you don't know what I'm going on about, I'm referring to this song:
Quite possibly one of the stupidest songs I've ever heard - and yet it's entertaining, and doesn't make me want to claw out my own eardrums like other songs do. *glaaaares at the Pussycat Dolls* XD;
So, yeah, anyway, UGH, I seriously need to learn to keep my comic art more consistent. x.X; I could start off by, you know...drawing these things ahead of time, instead of waiting until Wednesday or Thursday to have it done! c.c; I want to know Greg Dean, author of Real Life Comics manages to have a new strip up every single day, and has done so for ten years. >_>;; Let's see if I can have future comics ready for posting from now on... I can't guarantee I'll be successful, since the Chibi Comics and the Brenfriz comics aren't the only comics I'm working on. I also do manga-style comics; and I've got three of them running - one being a collaboration between myself and my good friend Crimson and a fourth one officially under development. Jeez, you'd think this would be my job or something...which would be great, but a professional comic career is NEVER going to happen for me. XD
Other than that, I'm trying to learn how to use Manga Studio - toning with it, at least. I'm gonna try experimenting with it with...with...*bites lip* ... a shoujo manga... x.X;;; Yes...shoujo...I don't know why I've been having this huge urge to work on a shoujo type of thing...Everyone who is familiar with my writing knows my style is dark and gritty, and I like to write science fiction more...So how the HELL am I wandering into "omg kawaii" territory?? c.c; Ugh, may as well get it out of my system while I experiment with Manga Studio. --; I might post pages of it, but don't expect it to be anything epic. I'm not gonna bother writing a script or anything, I'm just experimenting with manga tones.
Damn, I tend to rant a lot. x.X;; Oh, and don't forget to set your clocks forward tonight! At least I think it's forward. :D;; [/helpful. No. Really.]
Another old comic brought to you by the year 2003. XD That's Dude, my pet Balrog...He really likes belly rubs and playing fetch. :)
Today's comic was going to be a Brenfriz one...and it's taking longer than I though...Why do the Brenfriz comics always take the longest? The only extra things I do are tryin to ink it in SAI (keyword: try (I'm still failing at it ;~; )) and re-color the lines. Stuff which is basically no different from when I do my regular artwork...except I regularly ink in Photoshop and the lines come out much better. XD I wish I could ink better in SAI...from what I've seen from other artists, the lines come out so nice and clean... =w=;; *le sigh*
