Look What I Drew! 07/01/2014

The first page of Queen's Quartz is up!

Okay, this was actually done a couple of days ago but I was having issues uploading on my phone so it took me a bit to get it on here. I have 3 pages set up and the second one is almost finished (tones are a pain in the ass), but it's all coming together very nicely! I need to get some more thumbnails done and I can definitely do 2 rough pages a day if I keep this pace going.

In other news, I saw Transformers: Age of Extinction. It was...craziness. I knew going into it that the story would be terrible - it is a Michael Bay film, after all - but damned if it didn't keep me entertained. Mark Wahlberg was actually pretty decent in this: funny, held his own in the action scenes but they didn't make him to be this super badass or anything. The only area that took me out of the movie was that he was way too jacked for an inventor, otherwise I was all in.

If you loved the first 3, you'll love this one. If not...it's a movie about giant robots: quit taking it seriously.

I'm going to end this post with a rant: The other day a fellow artist complained that getting comments/feedback such as "Your art looks like (insert another artist here)!" wasn't good because it made them feel that their art wasn't original.

I'm sorry, but here's where I take slight offense: nobody's art is original. Unique, sure, but every artist borrows from another so you'll never be truly original. To think that you are seems arrogant, personally. I understand that an artist has to feel that they're doing something no one's ever seen, and that can happen in how you approach the subject. You can tell the same story from a different perspective, you know?

In any case. it irked me to read this, then have people agree with the notion. I know that I've borrowed from others and made something that makes my style unique, and I feel that should be encouraged more than telling others they're special snowflakes.

Your guys's thoughts? Leave comments!

Look What I Drew! 06/16/2014

Two more shots of Levin and Serafina. I drew Levin pretty damn adorable and I love the way he came out, and I made Fina a little more cartoonish than her original drawing.

Anyway, here's the plot synopsis to Queen's Quartz:

The Queen's Quartz - the rarest gem, said to be worth untold riches, yet none know of its whereabouts. It's said that it wields a terrible curse - it lays a heavy burden upon the one who holds it. To Serafina, it's all myth and old stories, and she sets out to find the Queen's Quartz to claim its unimaginable reward. When she gets a lead on the gem, however, she encounters a creature lost to time: an elven boy named Levin. Elves, however, have been extinct for centuries, since their last war with humankind. 

Why is Levin still alive? Why is the Queen's Quartz so well hidden, and does it truly hold such a mysterious power? Will Serafina find it, and what will she lose on the road to her reward?

Sound good? I guess we'll see!

Jacob, the Knight

The Lone Elf, Levin


The last member's of the Queen's Quartz crew: Jacob, the Knight and the lone elf, Levin.

Jacob is a very honorable man, his sword skills are well recognized...but he's dumb as bricks. He's serious, usually because he doesn't get jokes or sarcasm. Levin is a peculiar character: Elves are extinct in the world of Queen's Quartz, after having battled humans for so long. Levin still being alive is unusual, and will become the center focus of the story.

Speaking of the story: I've been coming up with how it begins and how long the one shot will be, which means I'll be hammering out the first draft shortly. I think you all will enjoy it~

I do love me some One-punch Man.

So I feel like writing a fantasy comic.  I love swords and sorcery, the outfits are always so awesome and I just always wanted to write one, so I think I'm gonna do it. I know I haven't worked on my first comic in a while, but I'll get there.

Anime NEXT is this weekend and I'm gonna go for a day. I miss conventions and this is probably going to be the only one I'll attend this year since Otakon is too expensive and not enough of my friends can go. It sucks because I didn't go last year and I really, really miss it. There isn't anything else like going to a con and seeing people who love what you do having a great time.

Next year, for sure: I'll go.
