Yeah so adding to the list of things that get in the way of my drawing the comic..I have a job now. I'm working as a barista at Juan Valdez Cafe..which is a pretty cool place. Very sustainable development and fair trade-y..so I can feel good even as I spur on the American consumer lifestyle. Yes! It's also another of those jobs that leaves your feet sore, your skin smelling like grease and your whole self so tired you just wanna sleep forever on the Metro (or go to capoeira practice? O.o) And coffee..whee. I can just feel my bones dissolving. Osteoporosis my love..I'll sleep in your sweet embrace.
Anyway..back at the ranch..I haven't had a chance to work on page 23 yet, because I toiled through all class today and Monday, shading a gigantic pastel still life. Soo delicious. And by delicious I mean horrendous. I need to buy softer pastels; the black and gray I have simply don't stick to the paper, for some reason. (At least my white was behaving itself.) So, I have to finish that by Monday. *And* do a gigantic portrait of a bell pepper. And do four sketches of bottles of liquid (don't ask me..it was the teacher's idea)
But, I will try to have page 23 by Friday. Cause I have to go to Gtown then anyway to buy my cap and gown. Aiya, my savings! :( Somebody should sue Jostens for their outrageous prices on articles made for 25 cents in China and their silly bourgeouis class rings.
So, I guess I should go draw now (or maybe sleep....)
Oh yeah and I wanted to explain my new and exciting characters page. Why, you might ask, are there random facts on there like the color and consistency of Maria's hair? Well..rather than making some silly summaries of things you could surmise about the characters just by reading the comic,I decided instead to give y'alls some insight into their inner lives by including random lines from my character profiles. I wanted to know more about my characters than just what they looked like, so I asked them to fill out one of those email surveys (actually, I think I got it on Elftown..) So far I only have Maria's and Eugene's. As other characters (some of whom have already appeared anonymously..) become more prominent, I'll have to start pressing them for details about their personal lives to fill out the rest of the profiles..
So yeah. I'll update everyone's excerpts every time I add a character, just to entertain you lot.
Now, I'm going to entertain my poor tired self by going to bed >.<
