Crappy, Yet Productive, Week

Been sick most of the week with a cold that is determined to kill me. I swear, I've never gotten a cold like this. Not only can I not breath through my nose, but I'm constantly having coughing attacks that last forever. 


On a brighter note, I've been working on Drake Knightridge for Jennifer Marie Vail, though I've been mostly doing reference work since I've never drawn a 12 year old boy before. It's proving to be a challenge, but one I happily accept. 


I've also been working a bit more on my Sephiroth/Cloud comic, though I'm still not sure if I'm going to draw it all out or if I'm just going to draw the prologue out and then do illustrations for the rest of it while writing it out. So far I'm leaning toward the latter option, but I still haven't decided.


I've also finished planning the storyline for my book series. Originally, I thought it was going to be only three books, but sadly, it's four books. And if I calculated the number of pages correctly, each book is around 450 pages long. Not that thick, but still a lot of work. But now that the plot line is done, I can work more on character development and planning out fighting scenes! The first book doesn't have a lot of battles, but there are a few fights that need to be planned out a little bit before writing. I'm dreading the third book, since a good portion of that is just fighting!!!


Anyway, I'm working hard to recover from this damned cold, and hope to be back to working on projects soon. For now, sleep shall take me and I'll rest more to recover from this very long week.

Drake Knightridge

Recently I started working on character designs for Jennifer Marie Vail's book "Drake Knightridge". I'm not certain that's the title, but that's what I'll call it for now. Anyway, since I did offer to draw illustrations for her book I thought that now would be a good time to practice drawing the characters! I'm really excited for this, especially since it's for a friend, and I hope that she'll include my illustrations!

In other news, I recently failed my AP Government tests! I'm not really sure what happened, but hopefully I'll make up some points in the essay! If not, then thank god for a few more weeks of school to make up some points.

I've also been considering doing a webshow. I know that this is sudden, especially since I hate filming myself, editing, and other things, but I thought it would be a pretty nifty idea to document my writing progress and illustration development for Jennifer Marie Vail. I'd love to hear your views, and ideas about a webshow!

Another Project :3

Well, I decided to work on yet another project! Of course I'm hoping this one won't get pushed to the side, but hey, no one is motivating me so I just kinda go with the mood I'm in. 


Basically I realized that as much as I love Sephiroth/Cloud not a lot of people do. So what am I doing? Making a comic of one of my ideas. I don't know if I'm going to draw out the whole thing, more likely just the prologue and some scenes, but I'm hoping to get some more people to like the pairing. 


Of course I've included a few other pairings, but I don't want to go spoiling any details to those watching!


Well, before I get too detailed, I shall leave and work on passing my AP gov final! *fist pump*

Attack My Cheese Monkey!!

So odd thing happened earlier. I ended up taking an unplanned nap (not that one usually plans out these wonderful occurances) when I had this weird dream that my friend and I were chatting and a random monkey made of CHEESE ran past. This monkey was quickly followed by America from Axis Powers who was yelling at him to attack. Nearly two seconds later England ran past screaming that a monkey made of cheese was out to kill him.


Weird...
