Replanning Vinca stuff…

replanning-vinca-stuff

So, I’m still pretty Vinca-centered lately.
But before speaking of that, Suppi and I did quite well in our Comic with photos thing… besides the fact we’re incredible slow workers and we’re impossibly out of schedule and almost overdue xD;
We did awful on the marketing test, due overconfidence and not memorizing part of the stuff…. oh well 9_9: It was a 2-people test and even with that we did awful! We suck xD;

Now, back to Vinca, I showed my BB roughs to my Comic Workshop teacher and he really liked them! He wants now to keep an eye on my progress and show that to him every class along with my normal homework xD; That’ll help me working more seriously on it.

Almost there…

almost-there

One page more of Vinca’s comic to rough sketch and I’ll be ready to… sketch it more clearly? xD
I wish I was faster at drawing ^^;

Today was a very boring and unproductive day Dx So…. yeah.

A friend of mine asked me to teach her how to do digital coloring and such, and she’s going to pay me, so I have to make a program and see how many classes i shoud give her and how much i’m going to charge her… I’m excited! I’ve always wanted to tecah people how I do things =3 I’m lay to make a bazillion tutorials, though…. I’m so impatient I want to finish the picture quickly and taking 400 sreenshots and writting everything I’m doing takes so much time Dx; Maybe I should make videos, lol.

Yesterday i made some rough character design sketches for jack…. but I think I’m not allowed to show hem around =/ I’ll ask him, and If he gives me permission, I’ll post them here ^^. bad thing is that I’m so influenced by things i like/watch/myself it leaks through my drawings badly xD;

Now I’ll leave you with a sketch/rough/ugly thing I drew just now. It’s how a fight between Vinca and Anya would be. Not that they’re ever going to fight, though, since they’re friends and roommates xD; Vinca’s pose was redrawn a bazilion times and still looks… not good enough. I really need to practice my dynamic drawing ^^;

Vinca stuff~

vinca-stuff

I have this huge 22 pages long comic for Vinca. It’s not as llong as it sounds, though, since half of the pages have around2-3 pannels instead of my usual 6-8. that should give me room to make deailed stuff… if I manage to do that anyway ^^;

So I’ve been having fun plotting with my friend Duredhel about Vinca’s storyline. It’s long and, hopefully, veyr interesting. And it’s linked to his story since I fail a creating intrincated plots by myself, haha.

Other than that, I still hate my career, I’m skipping classes and procrastinaing when I shouldn’t and I’m being emo about my art. And I’m havig headaches and I’m very sleepy and not hungry.

I’m geting bored about everything, but I’m happy with my latest doodles… just doodles, though, since I don’t have the patience to make full-fledged drawings like my Ishtera ones lately… The places I used to hang out online are getting boring or toxic and I’m feeling suffocated here at home doing nothing but staring at random sites online when I don’t want to draw =_=; Also hating this place and missing my old place doesn’t help at all ^^;

Oh well…
I’ll leave you now with the rough sketches for pages 1-4 of Vinca’s Beyond Battle comic (18 to go, yay! xD), and some doodles I did today at Suppi’s I gave older-ish Vinca a slightly different outfit, and there are a couple of quick chibi-ish doodles of Vinca and Will <3

Roughs of pages 1-4 (out of 22) of Vinca's Beyond Battle

Done! *faints*

Read it at EnterVOID

Finished Vinca vs. Anya last night at 3:35 AM, 25 minutes before the deadline. My plans to have it done by midnight went to hell, haha.

Looking at it now, it has a bazillion mistakes and due the flat colors looks awfully flat… I wish I could have spent my time wisely so I could have had time to throw some celshading over background and characters.
I feel like I’ve improved a lot, thou =3 I’m really happy ^^ Backgrounds, the thing I avoid the most, were managed using 3D studio Max as a reference, since pretty much all the comic happened in two spaced, so I modeled them in 3D, added a target camera and with that found the right angles. Having 3DSM and Photoshop at the same time was a bit tiring for my computer, thou ^^;
I also noticed that my character drawings don’t look as bad and flat as usual, an comparing things to my last battle ne year ago was alike… wow!
Again, I’m sad I couldn’t do a good coloring job, since my coloring is my strong point and I have improved greatly lately.
It was really fun to draw this, even if it wasn’t challenging and I hated it for around a week due my mental blocking xD; Read the rest of this entry »

6 out of 9 pages! + frustration

6-out-of-9-pages-frustration


Well… kinda 6 pages.
I still have to draw that big pannel on page 2 I surrounded with a red circle.
I probably won’t color pages 6-9. I’m way too sleepy nw to work anymore right now, so I’ll have to do them tomorrow entirely.

Did I mention I hate my marketing class? Out repport/dissertation material was so poor, we got embarrassed and presented nothing for a second time. We would have got the second-to-lowest mark anyway, so why bother between that and the lowest on we already got >_o
The worst thing is that I went to bed late last night and got 4 hours of sleep to get the report finished properly, but the lack of material and information online got me depressed. I could have skipped the class today and not even work on the report yesterday and I wouldn’t be sleepy, grumpy and I’d have more things done on Vinca’s battle. Last time i talked to my rival, he was going to skip one of his classes to color this half of the battle…. I’m doomed to lose, but at least I want to get good scores.

Oh dear… I want this year to end already so I can go and find a job without worrying about my boring courses.

Off to sleep. I’ll resume inking tomorrow.

Bad time management

bad-time-management

Flats on page 3 of Vinca vs. Anya.
I worked on this pretty much all day (I don’t have classes on monday). I’m soooo slow Dx;
I inked it pretty rushedly, but still took me forever. Coloring took me around two hours.
It’s harder to do thsi than normal illustrations Dx; I mean, there are so many things to ink and color!
Looking at it, thou, I think it came out better than what I expected. For one day of work (not counting layouting, sketching 4 times and placing the text, all that done beforehand) it came out pretty nice.
