Hello, internet! Did you miss me as much as I missed you? As much fun as I had being a camp counselor, it feels great to be back in the presence of technology and junk food. I'm getting myself reacquainted with my tablet, and hopefully I'll be able to get the ball rolling on my digital art again.
A while back during DeviantDead's early rounds, I caught wind of this magical kingdom called EnterVoid, where artists from all over the web gathered to kick ass in comic duels to the death. I have finally taken the plunge and begun drawing comic fights- I entered a character in the Void Invitational, a tournament of sorts designed to suck in new blood like myself. I'm really excited about how all of this is turning out so far, and can't wait to improve my art. I posted my first official round last night, but my opponent was a no-show, which is a bit disappointing. I can't post the pages here until after the voting is finished, but in the meantime you can read the comic over at Void here:
[link]I gotta say, it took me a while to get this journal done, partially because I was still moving junk back in, but also because I log onto DeviantArt and I am greeted with over 1300 deviations. 1300 is a very big number, but I tried my best to look through them all- it's the least I can do for the people I watch. So if you saw me post favorites for a bunch of pieces you uploaded two months ago... well, now you know why.
Anyway, that's all I've got for now. How are you?
Imagine watching Pulp Fiction at 9 pm with no bad words censored
In other words, in Spain people don't feel uncomfortable when hearing bad words, except when they are overused.
Sigh... I love this country, but sometimes it makes no sense at all.
Also, if Pep ever emerges from whatever watery grave he's buried himself in this time, poke him. He did a couple of Void battles back in the day.
You're right on about the experimentation- I wanted to see how well I could ink a straight-up black and white comic. I only had about a week to draw the entry, so there was also the time constraints to consider- my average time for completing a single Jukebox page is about a week.
Funny you should mention Jukebox, though- I'm doodling the characters right now to get back into the swing of things. While I was at camp, I plotted out a lot more of the overall story and part of me is super-anxious to get back to work on it. The other part... is trying to remember how I drew these guys in the first place. I hate when that happens.
