Coming Back Soon

Hey everyone! (all 5 of you... Okay, 3!) Been a while, hasn't it? Time for a little update.
What did I say last journal? That I had a twelve page comic I was working on? Pfft! Well I lied. I changed it to 8. Aaand then I quit. Like yesterday. Two pages in.
For what reasons? I'll never tell.

...

Alright, ya forced it outta me.
SO. Where to begin? Uhh..
Oh yeah! I met Babs Tarr (babsdraws.tumblr.com/) in PERSON! At a convention called STAPLE! And then we traded art!
Well, actually I traded a copy of my little fanart 
For an epic print of the real thing! Which she signed!!

The fact that there is so much better fanart on the actual Batgirl of Burnside tumblr just makes me feel special. 
Seriously, highlight of my day. There is actual photo evidence of this moment taking place, which, of course, I do not have. You'd have to ask Randy Lander (if you're that interested!).  

I also recieved a portfolio review from Paul Benjamin (he's written some Marvel Adventures books and worked on some Marvel videogames). And after that I realized I was done. With my portfolio for SCAD, I mean. They told me comics are allowed in the portfolio and since I've got that and a few good paintings (which I have yet to post) I'm good to go. It's taken me two years but I'm finally done with it.

Aaand that's why I quit doing that 8 pager you never saw. I just lost steam on it. With the deadline being the end of March, there was no way I could keep it up with quality pages worthy of a college portfolio. Because I lost interest after the convention, the rest of the pages would feel "crapped out" instead of drawn, y'know? Plus, I got way too excited to start working on Guillan Seed and that previous comic was the only thing in my way.
(Actually, I just realized I can now post those two pages since I'm not doing that contest any more....Huh. I'll get on that.)

My computer's still broken, so I'm stuck using my mom's laptop and library computers until I buy a new one. But other than that, with all this free time I now have on my hands I'm devoting most of my energy to re-learning the absolute fundamentals of drawing, and improving my writing so I can bring you Guillan Seed at the best possible quality I can muster, by summer this year. More on the writing of it in the next journal.

L8ters!

(P.S. See how I used the 8 in the word "later" to make the "a" sound? Genius, right. Yea, I invented that, and don't even bother looking it up. Just DON'T!) 

Okei bai.
