[K][??????] C0mmander W0lf: want to draw something |
[D][041011] Last week’s Friday comic was the biggest filler we’ve had to do so far. In fact, I don’t think we’ve had to do a filler before that. Anyways, I’m in this kind of drawing depression, where I’m in the bleak state of realization that my art has some major flaw in it, and I’m not in the mood to fix it, and then I don’t want to draw anything either. Stack that on top of reading Negima 3, and yeah… I’m really glad I have that backlog. If you didn’t understand that past paragraph, it says, “I can’t draw lately, sue me”. Anyways, I think my current lack of dedication is what’s causing the very large drop in traffic we have. It’s been going downhill since Monday, September 25th or something. I don’t think the filler that week helped either. Gotta go do SOME kind of advertising, but I have no idea what. Yep, life sucks, and so does this comic, in the words of J-san. At least the current comic doesn’t suck that badly, even though I’m using frames from #005 or something. Alright, gonna do something productive. |

[J][041004] Well, since no one told me what strip they wanted, I just went ahead and animated “The Call”. Here it is, starring the voice talents of D-san as himself. Alrighty. I will improve my animation technique for when I post another one of these, but expect a normal comic for Friday. Now, I must go work on the art, or I’ll never finish. Good night. |
[D][041004] And so, I left off in 1998 in my last random train of thought, when J-san and I first started doing comics in a crappy, generic shapes attached to each other in generic ways, style. This style is WORSE than the first panel of the October 1st comic. Actually, it’s the same style, just less refined. For four years, I don’t do anything in terms of improving my comic art. That’s right, four years. In those four years I worked on doing machines, and they got better, but the comics still sucked. Yes, that means crappy art and crappy punchlines. If I was less lazy right now, I’d fire up that scanner and show some of my old stuff. And, the second pivotal date is April of 2003. That’s when I picked up a copy of Clamp’s Chobits, and thought, ‘Holy crap, my comics suck’. And then I was bit by the manga bug. So that means I tried to draw manga, after having worked with an awful style in the past four years. I do have an example of my second generation manga works here [100613: New link]. And yes, it would continue to suck for another year and a quarter. Third generation was the beginning of Starcrossed and SC ended with fourth generation stuff. I started assembling the comics in PSP at this time as well. and then there was Reflection, the complete work of which is in the gallery, and that was actually consistent in style and mechanics, though both were bad. Obviously I did not place in RSOM 4. I have a certificate to prove it. Blah, blah, blah. I’m pushing sixth generation manga now with some improved facial anatomy. So you know what, if my art ain’t great (And I know in the eyes of a lot of ppl who know what they are doing, it isn’t) it’s only because I’ve only been doing this for a year and a half. What was the point of the last two rants? To tell more of my life’s story. Joy. These crappy rants must be the reason why we get so few hits. |
