Spade

Okay, first sketch of the blog. This is a character of mine, Spade. She is currently unplaced but I've recently been thinking of making her and another character the stars of an action adventure comic. The premise is basically that the two characters will be adventurers for hire. I want the feel of it to be in the area of Indiana Jones, Tomb Raider, and Uncharted. However, with Spade and her swords (and wait 'til you see her friend), I expect the action to be even higher than the afore mentioned franchises. Any comments and/or critiques are welcomed. Later.

Late...

Kay, so it's Monday the 27th and I haven't posted anything. I know what it looks like. But see, what had happened was... I stayed out a little too late last night and it wasn't until I got back that I realized the scanner wasn't connected to our computer like it used to be. I did draw something though... really, I did. I just need to get our scanner out of the garage and hook it up. Can't do that right now though, kinda need to be heading to work. But, my point is, I did a drawing and I'll put it up ASAP. I'm just kinda late is all.

Thinking...

So, I need to start thinking of what I'm gonna do for my senior project (which was another reason for starting this blog). I had an idea of gathering an inker and a colorist (and perhaps a letterer but who really wants to letter) and doing a full on mini-book. This wouldn't  be impossible, but the problem is i would have to work ahead of the curve so that the others could have time to finish all of their stuff behind my penciling. This is still an idea, but I I've recently been working at a slower pace than desired and I don't, as of now, trust myself to be studios and punctual enough to handle that task.

First thing first though, I need a story. I can revise something I've already written into a working script or write something new. Also, I need to decide how many pages I can do in a quarter (accounting for the work from other classes). A safe bet would be about ten, maybe twelve, but I want to push myself. I might post some of the story's I'm considering adapting to see what you all think of them.

Too much talking? Okay. I'm gonna start the art on the 26th. Right now I'm on vacation with Bern in New Jersey with her family. We've been in and out of the City a couple of times and I might be getting a feel for it. Living there is a different story though, but we'll see what the future holds. Check out Bern's blog too - http://joyofbutterflygiggles.blogspot.com/. Til next time people, later.
