Daily updates my arse!

So don't excuse me for neglecting my blog, AGAIN.
work's been realllly busy, and no outside art has been produced, but does that excuse me from not even dropping a line in the blog? Nope. No excuse.

anyway along w/ pagework, I've also been compiling up work from distant past and those of that quite recent for the Book I'll be putting out (hopefully) in time for Otakon next month.
It'll be 52 pages, 7 x 10 full colour SC of original works (no fan art)

A majority of the book are pieces that can already been seen on my DA site, but there's also something (which takes up like half the book) that isn't uploaded online at all.
So anyway here's the Cover.

Where the heck have I been?

So yeah, I've been absent for about 3weeks or so?
what the heck happened to that whole 'daily post' thing i was supposed to do.
So yeah, to make it short, my Comp died, and now I have a new comp.
pretty much it.

What fails heavier than that is that due to my computer absence, my art-schedule's now been pushed back. So pushed back that all my plans for the upcoming cons have now been put on hold.
(that and I really didn't draw at all during that absence)

here's a list of things I had planned to get done before the Comp-death:
work on #08 (lines and colours)
Colour up pages for the 24page RandomVeus character artbook
Draw/Colour Otakon Prints (DBZ/One Piece/TTGL/Pokemon)

Post-Comp-death things that are done/has to be done
work on #08 (lines and colours)
Draw/Colour Otakon Prints (DBZ/TTGL/Pokemon)
(One Piece being a group shot hadta be cut off the list due to time constraints)

So yeah, looking at the list now you'll notice that the RandomVeus character artbook and the One Piece print hadta be cut off the list. Unfortunate, but something had to be cut, and we know there's no chance that #08 will be (since that's Top Priority) so yeah, it had to be the artbook. shame.

and today. .

was a day primarily spent @ the city visiting anime/comic shops.
good day
aint been to the city in a while.
things i purchased today:
Freakazoid Season 2 dvd
Scott Pilgrim vol.5
Kamichu

I would've gotten the digitally remastered and uncut DBZ vol.6, but JB surprisingly didn't have it.
shame on them.

i also managed to do two small little pen drawings whilst on the train. briefly
will scan tomorrow if i can be bothered.

sorry for the no art today.

Old stuff. . .

So i didn't get a chance to draw today.
well, actually I did draw something, but did not get a chance to scan it yet.
anyway i shall be getting a new comp within the next week or two. My current comp really niggles me to no end. so yeah, new comp shall be nice.

anyway this is a section of a commission I did last year (December 12, 2008) of Yoko and Nia from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (one of my fave anime series).


Sorry for the no new art today, but hopefully this shall suffice.

did I forget to post those few hours ago?

shame on me!!!
i was so knackered that i am a few hours late!
anyway here's the linearts of the scrapped DBZ lines (both).




the 3rd attempt was the most natural feeling, the quickest to draw, and the final product (obviously not shown here)

ohhhyeahhhhhh

SOOOOO the drawing bug bit today (wooot!)

so I started drawing up the pieces for the RandomVeus character character Mini-artbook I'll be creating for this year's cons (Otakon?/ChicagoCon)
it's basically gonna be primarily a single character 2 page spread between a 6x6 dimensioned book.

yup

here's the 1st 6 character in preview form.

Apart from this, I also got some layouts and stuff done for work.

No ART Today

So not only did i fail and not get any personal art done today(i did manage to do a few layouts for #11 cover), but It also seems that my comp has some sort of Virus or something. Annoying little sh!t's causing IE popups.

heck I don't even use IE, so WTF?!

lame..

i tell ya , those darned pop-ups killed the vibe for any drawing i had planned for the day.

sorry for the no arts.
