While I have breaks at work I'm going to update old drawings. The first is Kitty Pryde from an old art jam. I never liked how she turned out in the original: I went for a pose that didn't work out and made her look very small and disproportionate. Her leg in the updated pic looks small to me but I can always fix it.

It'll be fun to redo these drawings. I usually have enough time on my hands when I'm on break and sometimes I can't think of what I want to draw. Now, I just have to see which drawing is next...

So a while back I drew this OC... Well, just a head, at first. I really liked the look and decided to give her a complete body and style.

This is the result. I have to say, I'm in love with her.

Maybe I'll find a place in a comic to put her, or possibly give her her own story. I dunno, maybe I'll just use her for character studies, but it feels kinda lame to keep her in only one thing.

Well, I'll find something for her. She's too cool to keep in one place.

That new Spider-Woman costume is awesome.

The first pose came out stiff but what do you expect when you draw something quickly during a work break. 

Gotta keep working on figure drawing, though.

Couple of sketches done over at Google+.

Oi, this year has been unbearable. I'm glad it's almost over because I need 2015 to begin on a good mark. I am grateful that I'm working, have a roof over my head, and food on the table, but I really want next year to be the beginning of my professional art career. I know I won't be a millionaire from it but I'd at least like to make some profit.

It has to be a year of putting myself out there. A lot.

It also means I have to stop being so damn lazy. I spend way too much time thinking about how I should be working and not actually doing. So, that's the end of the laziness: I need to work on my comic while I still have outlets available (especially since Inkblazers is done for), and imma promote like a sumbitch. It may get irritating but, hey: I want to be successful, and that may take some pains before the fruit ripens.

Keep your fingers crossed for me, guys.

So I've been reading Boku no Hero Academia and it's very good. With the gap that Naruto left behind after the series ended, it looks like BnHA could be the one to fill it. I highly recommend checking it out!

I've been doing requests for fun. I tried $5 commissions but nobody bit... Apparently 5 bucks is too much for people nowadays.

Either that, or I'm just a shit artist.

My Naruto project!

I wasn't even in the mood to work yesterday; I was dead tired from having to wake up early. Nevertheless, I'm very happy with the results of my exhaustion! Inks for both pieces will be coming shortly, then there's the task of merging the two and coloring it all in. That's gonna be fun.

 I also started working on SOMA again! I checked the last time it was updated: Over a year! I couldn't believe it has been that long...it took me a minute to get into the groove but with a bit of planning I'll be kicking ass in no time.

Now, I really want some coffee.

Anbu Kakashi in greyscale.

So things have been going well lately. I'm learning not to stress so much over things, and I've realized that I don't really care much for Queen's Quartz anymore. I miss Short Order Mobile Action way too much and I'm going back to it. If the mood hits me I'll return to QQ, but it's not terribly important to me at the moment.

I came to this conclusion after posting the preview pages and not really getting much of a response from them. I've also been thinking about my first comic and the liberties it gave me, story and art-wise, so it was an easy decision to go back to SOMA. Of course, this leaves me with a lot of open spaces since SOMA is an ongoing comic and I post about two pages every week so I can work on other pieces.

I also think that being stressed out with other things in my life kinda soured QQ for me. Life's getting better and I've realized that my negativity was really affecting every aspect of it. It was taking away the happiness I felt when I was drawing and I wasn't focusing on that. Instead, I was too busy wondering why my art wasn't more popular, or how others were getting ahead and judging them for it. I can't do that anymore; I won't. It's not fair to me and my art.

Anyway, I've got an awesome idea or a Naruto fanart and I'm gonna get started on it tomorrow. Peace!

Doing some quickie sketch requests on Google+!

Nothing much going on, lately. Still working on Queen's Quartz, and I've been going to actual work. I hate work. I wanna get paid to draw already.

Look What I Drew! 06/25/2014

I know I said I'd have a page or two done next time I posted, but I'm still working.

The first pages of Queen's Quartz are all sketched up! I've already started the first page and it's inked up. I should have these three done by the end of the week...

...I'm pretty excited about this comic, you guys.

In other news, I have no video games to play. I'm thinking of going back to Skyrim, since it's my go-to whenever I need a fix. We'll see what happens, but in the meantime I probably shouldn't let anything get in the way of my comic work :p

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~

The next character sketch for Queen's Quartz: Puck the surly wizard. He's fond of drink and his pipe, and behind his eyepatch is a vortex that absorbs energy around him. It makes him considerably strong, which he considers a hassle and chooses to spend most of his time drunk.

I already love him.

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.

Quick art request for a pal on Google +: Lelouch from Code Geass.

Been listening to a lot of old JROCK albums lately, since I'm working early Saturday mornings each week. I decided to put on Hyde's Faith album and man, I loved the shit out of it. I feel like it's been forever since JROCK was a big part of my life, even though it's only been a few years since all the good bands disbanded. There's only about 5 bands I follow anymore, and just barely. Kinda sad, but that's a sign of the times, I guess.

My tablet pen's battery died so I can't work on anything digital unless I hit the desktop again which frankly is a hassle. It takes AAAA batteries so I'll have to get a rechargeable one... I'm not wasting  my time buying a butt load of batteries for one tiny pen.

Oooh, I wanna see X-Men: Days of Future Past. I know it deviates from the comics but dammit, I wanna check it out.

Sketchin' on my new tablet!

I managed to install Manga Studio and get to work. The pen that's supported by the Dell Venue 8 is alright: the pen pressure leaves much to be desired, as it's not a Wacom and Manga Studio doesn't recognize the pen like it should, but it looks like it's doing a very good job nonetheless.

Can't wait to put more pieces out!
