New page 3 with the bootifull new 'castle in the sky.' I also sketched page 11, *and* I'm pretty much done composing a Prologue in my head which I just need to get down on paper.
I also have to scan my whole comic all over again.
Because realizing that Paintshop's resizer was not as craptastical as I had believed, I decided to begin scanning my pics at a higher dpi and resizing them, which results in much nicer lines. So now I have to do that for all 9 pages (other than page 3). Oh and I have to draw a new cover, and fix a couple other things :\
It never ends. I thought once I had the site up I could relax and just draw my comic. Nope! That would've been too easy.
Well, I'm tired of sitting in front of the computer, so I'm going to go and do something else for a while. Maybe draw one of those gazillions of things I need to get done :|

W00t! The new site is online. Finally. I hope it looks nice, cause it took forever to set up. It's better than the old one, anyway.
Well, I bet you're sitting there going, "oh, new site, fine and dandy. but when are we going to see some new COMIC PAGES???"
geez, calm down. Maybe today if I can get up the motivation to sketch, trace and color a page all in one day (not likely unless very caffeinated, very high on crazy music, or feeling very guilty about not having updated for so long...all of which are actually quite possible today :b) and otherwise, tomorrow. My plan for the summer is to work on the comic every morning, after Cantonese tapes, before lunch and...I don't know, I haven't done anything anything else for a while. I've been working on the website every free moment for nearly a week now.
So. Anyway. In other news, I just read Vol. 1 of David Mack's Kabuki yesterday. DAMN!! What an awesome comic. He would have me horrified and laughing at the same time. And sometimes I would look at a page and just gasp because it was so...I don't know. Not beautiful, but...it just came together so perfectly. The art wasn't just there to show the action, but it was really art. I know all comics are *supposed* to be art, but most of them (however much I still love them :b) just don't have that level of complexity and symbolism. Wow. As though I didn't feel inadequate enough already :b
That said...I haven't yet listened to my Cantonese tapes today! So, before I slave away even more for this project, I have to go and do that or it'll be tomorrow before I know it!

Extra, extra, read all about it! New Crossovers page!!!!
So, yeah, finally, an update. There should be two revised pages as well within the next few days, and then new pages and new pages and more new pages! I'm hoping to have Chapter 1 (~40 pages) done by Otakon, just in case I'm going to get an artist table there (highly unlikely). I also like I said want to change the site design, cause Teike there is lovely but just slightly inaccurately drawn now, and the titles are just plain ugly. And the Crossovers keenspace site is HORRENDOUS (besides that I decided I want it to match this site now).
Looks like a have a lot to do, so I should stop babbling here and get to work!

So much for being 'temporarily motivated'.
I actually was, really, but since it was during National Novel Writing Month there was no way I had the time to do anything about it. I did finish page...8? during the first week of November, and then realized there was no way I was writing 50,000 words by Nov. 31 *and* keeping up with my comic. So the comic dropped for a while...and wasn't picked up again, mostly I think because of the insane assignment load spring semester. I guess that's what I get for taking all humanities classes :\
But anyway! Now it's summer! I finally have time! I have a page I did over spring break as well as some revisions to older pages drawn out, they just need to be traced and colored and should be up soon...
In the meantime, for your entertainment, I have acquired a tagboard! Right now it's under Teike (the links dude on the left), not an ideal place, but since I'm redesigning the site soon anyway it will be relocated shortly. So if you have stopped by, let me know what you think. Cause right now, I have no idea if anyone even reads my comic at all...
