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?

We got absolutely no censorhip on movies in Spain's TV. Movies are on TV as seen on theatres, with no cuts or blurries. Humor programs feature some bad words, too, and they are not beeped. Of course, networks try to broadcast stuff according to what time it is (if there's kids watching, stuff will mostly be suitable for them. Mostly). But that applies only to nudity, themes, and violence: there's almost no control over bad words over the whole day. You can hear on TV the Spanish equivalents to "fuck", "shit", etc at any time (even though they are not overused).

Imagine watching Pulp Fiction at 9 pm with no bad words censored :iconimhappyplz:

In other words, in Spain people don't feel uncomfortable when hearing bad words, except when they are overused.

Wow... I wish our country felt the same way. I mean, we use swear words in our programming too, but it has to be like past 9 at least- South Park's one of the few shows I know that doesn't actively censor itself. Unfortunately, there is a lot of crap on TV during the day that no child should watch, like Jerry Springer- granted, no human should be watching that, but ah well. We have tons of shows that have nudity and censorship, particularly reality shows, but they're all filled to the brim with black bars, mosaics, and awkward silences from cutting audio. On MTV, they censored the video for "Teenagers" by My Chemical Romance, and it still baffles me beyond belief- why couldn't they use the word "gun"?

Sigh... I love this country, but sometimes it makes no sense at all.

Pretty good so far- I've been placed on 7 hitlists so far, and I'm a Rank C Artist. That's totally cool with me, though, since I really janked up my word balloons in my round 1 comic. My opponent was unfortunately a no-show, so I didn't really get to fight it out, but I'm still super-excited for the next section of the Invitational Tournament. How do you like the comic?

Pretty good! I really do enjoy your style. The pen works, though I do wish you inked and colored it a la Jukebox Heroes, but Entervoid is all about experimentation and learning! And being awesome too, I guess.

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.

Dude, I didn't know Pep did Void! Awesome~

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.

ahahaha. Good luck with it, dude, both void and keeping up a long term project is very tough.

Thanks, dude. C: I'm working on a piece right now, trying to stay on top of things before school starts. On the other hand, once school starts, I'll be taking my first college fine arts courses along with a 3D animation class. I AM EXCITEBIKE.
