Not So Mighty On Hiatus Post.

I’ve been meaning to write this post for a while but life has been too frantic. I’ve had to put the comic on hold as right now I just can’t do it justice. I’m workings longer hours and also have a couple of projects I am working on that need all my attention. Unfortunately the most exciting one is concept art for a game. Which is awesome and I’m really happy with a lot of the stuff I’m doing but as yet can’t post any of it as we don’t want anyone nicking the idea. I do have a couple of other things I’m working on that when done I can post here… the problem is just time. I don’t seem to have any spare. I didn’t want to stop the comic but something had to go and it was the only thing that could. Oh well. I’m getting back on track a bit more now so hopefully I can start up the sketches again… Won’t that be nice.

Sweet Poster.

This is just a poster I did a couple of weeks ago on very short notice. Considering it was the work of only a few hours I’m actually pretty happy with how it turned out.

Had a few less distractions at work yesterday so got this started and then finished it off when I got home. Then today I thought why wait till Monday? So I’ve cleaned it up and made some alterations to the dragons lower jaw (it looked weird in the original sketch). Now here it is. I’m pretty happy with it.

What I’ve Been Up To.

After the Autumn Tree last week I haven’t had a chance to do any more sketches as we had a couple of new people at work that I had to train. So, since once again I have nothing to post on a Monday I thought I’d tell you what I’ve been up to even if I can’t show you yet.

I have just finished (this morning) a poster for a local play some of my friends are involved in, I’m doing some concept art for a game some other friends are making and I’m doing design and concept art for Rebel-Empire.

Written out like that it doesn’t sound like much but it really is… The good news is I’ve managed to swap out the shift at work that was giving me so much trouble and if I can keep my current hours I’m hopeful I can get some sort of regular update schedule going again. So fingers crossed.

Status on the latest page is that it’s been written and planned out and I have a day off tomorrow get a good chunk of it done. In the mean time go look at this. It’s Awesome!

Autumn Tree.

Not the latest page I know but hey, it’s better than nothing. I’ve just picked up a smaller, less conspicuous sketchbook that I can use at work. Not sure why but today I felt like drawing a tree. So there you go.

Any sketches that don’t suck too badly I’ll pop up here as I do them. This is to encourage me not to get into the mindset of only doing one a week. Also it gives you guys something to look at while you wait patiently for the next comic page.

No Excuses.

Gah! No Sketch, no comic page even started let alone done. I’ve taken on another project and still failing to adjust to new stuff at work aswell. With so much going on the poor comic is the thing that’s suffering, all my other projects have other people relying on me so I can’t just put them off (for long). The most annoying thing is that I’m starting to do some really freaking awesome stuff for my latest project but as it’s concept art I can’t really show you untill I know what will and won’t be used.

So yeah… I guess the title of this post is a lie. It should have been “No Time.” The silver lining is I’m learning a lot and I’m hoping that it will help me with the comic. Only time will tell.

Little Old Lady.

I originally intended her to be a little old zombie lady. But I made the mistake of deciding to draw her before the zombification process with the intention of then altering her. However once I’d finished I didn’t want to spoil the sketch… I may digitally zombify her at a later date if I get the time.

Neko Busu!

Here’s a birthday sketch for K! I know you loved Howl’s Moving Castle, please tell me you’ve seen My neighbor Totoro.

I think those two had better stop being so apple obsessed or suffer a fate of Bardalistic proportions…

Naargh!

Boy I’m sucking at this updating thing at the moment! No sketch last week and now it’s late Monday night and I still haven’t finished the page! As it is, work will keep me from finishing it tomorrow so the earliest it’ll be up will be Wednesday… but realistically I’d just come back Friday.

My current excuse is that a new facet to my job has thrown a massive spanner in my timetable for the last couple of weeks and I’m still adjusting to it. Till I do please bear with me, I promise it’ll be worth it.

*cries in order to illicit feelings of sympathy from the reader*

Seriously though, come back Friday. It’s been challenging but I really like the way page 40 is turning out and I promise that you’ll definitely find out where Clunt’s apple is. Can’t say fairer than that eh?
