Back from the dead

Sun Nov 8, 2009, 8:19 AM
Yes I am alive. I still wake up, eat, go to work, piss, poo, eat junk food, get cavities. Just like you.

It's just you know I suffer from this thing called "SLOW ART". It sucks so much that I brainstorm almost every waking moment about how to speed up my art and give more to you guys/gals. Wish me luck...

So anyway, today I literally totally utterly finished Gun and the Sword. Yes. Unbelievably finished the sucker. I'll post it tomorrow cuz I'm too damned tired to post it and think of some clever description to go with it.

Man...what's up with art? It takes FOREVER! I guess it's proud for some people to say, "Hey boys and girls, I spent 500,000 hours on this, and I hope you like it!" (They take a look, fart, and go on with eating potato chips and watching reruns of Delta Force VII.)

Well I guess I am glad that I stuck with this project and other uber-time-consuming projects...better than nothing I guess. Maybe I am evolving in one way and that's being more patient.

If you care, each of those Gun and the Sword pieces involved:
1. sketches by hand (quick)
2. digital piecing together of the sketches (resizing, shrinking, cutting) in Photoshop (very quick)
3. lettering in Photoshop (very quick)
4. digital inks in Painter (slowwww)
5. digital flat colors in Photoshop (quick)
6. digital sfx in Photoshop (slowwwwwwwwwwww)

So you see what's slowing me down...

Anyway...

As 2009 comes to a close, I'm happy to say I spent 2009 so far on actual comics, not pinups. And I want to continue this trend in 2010. Though it means less frequency of art on dA, it means I'm getting better at what I really want to be, and that's being a storyteller.

In 2010, look for some of my original stuff to finally see the light of day as well.

But never fear, because before 2009 is out, you're going to see hopefully 2 more quick TF joke stories!
