Digging up old threads.

Haven't heard anything about this going on this year but November is when it happens. And I think people here were doing a lot better than over at the "official" site. It's a fun exercise if people are interested. As always, I was saying I wasn't going to do it, but there's a tiny bit of me that might say fuck it & try. Anybody else?

Firstly, the word "gnovel" is the dorkiest thing I think I've seen for a bit. So stop with that.

Secondly, the greatest strides being made aren't by the big two. So when you post something kvetching & that's all it's focusing on it's myopic. "Industry" talk is the WORST talk, but made even worse when people can't see past the two sputtering, monopolizing IP factories. So it's a lame article.

Thirdly, not THREE months go by without a "respected" (old, white guy) creator saying something racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, etc, or like Brian Wood, revealed (publicly) to be a total sleazebag. "But THIS ARTICLE YOU GUYS! Real conversation starter." It comes off as tone deaf, like "the industry" in general, that a lame article like this is your tipping point & not all of that other, far more egregious shit that has kept happening. I feel your call to arms here, of all places, is silly. For a lot of the problems it has had, being progressive has never been an issue with Void. Probably because everyone here's already of the same mind on the issue.

Who's a bud I can wire money to to pick me up a couple Kim Jung Gi sketchbooks?

thanks, that's super helpful & the kind of thing I was looking for. I just finished the flats last night & I think I know a couple of tweaks I could do to get it more askew without having to spend a lot of time redrawing. if it takes me more than 20 minutes, I'll revert back. I think the problem stemmed from needing a reference image for the angle & settling for something close & not tweaking it enough. but it makes perfect sense about the depth.  thanks!

EDIT: Oh & sorry. At the moment, I'm building up a buffer to a certain point in the story Im pretty certain is going to happen around pg 20. I'm hoping it'll start with the new year but I'm not making promises not fully aware of my work schedule ovrr the next three months.

I just leerily watched the movie Detention on the suggestion of a friend. I still don't know if it was good but it was much better than any movie that has Dane Cook playing a high school principal really has the right to be. While it seems like it's going to be a short attention span slasher it takes sudden left turns & starts taking tropes from a lot of other high school-centric movies. Basically it was like a mix of Scream, Scott Pilgrim vs The World, & Charles Burn's Black Hole. With Time travel & UFOs. It'll probably take a rewatch.

recolor since i lost the original hi-res.


and a work in progress


my dayjob's been taking up a good chunk of my time, & i just wrapped up a flatting gig to have my cintiq start giving me power issues. but hoping to do a character book by the end of the year & start this webcomic i've been threatening.

Sorry I've been neglecting on updating this. Click the image to go see that character's spiel.






By the way, you guys are all fucking killing it!!

Still playing catchup on my own thing, I wanted to get this posted & out the way before I start with 30 Characters.



More coming very shortly...

Awesome! Go forth & kick ass!

I was on the fence with doing it this year but since I'm holding to this goal of having 52 new characters by the end of the year & I'm only on #13, I see it as an excuse to catch up.

Don't forget to introduce yourself after you're signed up.
