Happy New Year!

:iconkingofsnake:

New Year, old projects. 2010 was, kinda, a year of new projects for me. A great deal of my time was sunk into drawing Claptrap Films for Zuda, scripting and hiring Wati for SP Earthguard, and writing about 50 one panel Nevermore comics. None of this stuff has hit the web yet, and some of it is still quite a ways from being finished. I'm hoping to use 2011 to produce things that I can remain proud of for some time. I'm looking to grow the ideas I already started into some level of completion.

Trades are closed, it seems. I want to do some more eventually, but additional deadlines really isn't going to help me right now. I'm working hard to turn out a chapter two of Out of This World ([link] that's at least 150% better than chapter one. I was able to reach my goal of getting the pencils done by the end of 2010, but now I have 30ish pages of vector inking to do, which puts me into the "lucky if I can finish it by July" category. Vectoring more than a full page a week while keeping my comic updating, yields cut corners at best. I'd really like to be done with it as soon as possible, because I have so many other projects hanging in the air that need to be solidified.

Commissions are still open though, because the possibility of making some spending money takes priority over my own stuff.

Art Trades

:iconkingofsnake:

Clearly I've been interested in being distracted with art projects lately. That said, anyone interested in doing some art trades? I think I have a couple in me. One of my OC's for one of yours, or some fan art or something.

Lemme know if you're interested! It's not so much first come first served as it is BEST come BEST served ;)

Keeping Busy!

Journal Entry: Thu Nov 12, 2009, 9:23 AM
Been keeping myself busy lately, between updates on Tuesdays and Saturdays, 2 Zuda entries down the pike, Poker on Thursdays,a and a pretty aggressive diet, I haven't had much time to do anything else. My big projects right now are 50's Sci-fi parody Claptrap Films (Which I just submitted to Zuda,) Manga SP Earthguard (Which I'm working with :iconmaester-nebradius: on) and Barflys (updating now at barflys.capcomics.net.)

Sometimes I miss the days spent lackadaisically doing nothing. And sometimes I wonder how I didn't drive myself mad without 15 projects on my plate.

Go say hello to :iconmaester-nebradius: Her art is wonderful. You will love it. And you will love the work she's doing on SP Earthguard. I promise!

Moving on

:iconkingofsnake:

The Rejects did not win the Zuda competition. But we did rather well, considering what we were going up against. Now that the competition is over I can get back to writing and drawing. New projects on the skyline! Hopefully you'll be seeing a lot more of them soon!

Cameo Contest!

:iconkingofsnake:

Hey everyone! Children at Play is turning 250 strips old and to celebrate we're having a contest, where in you could win the chance to have a character drawn based on you that becomes a regular background character in the strip! [link]

I find the characters I base on real people are far better looking than the characters I just make up off the top of my head. People have their own style and I'm looking to capture someone's style forever with a cartoon who never changes their clothes. Check out the comic and shoot me an email and you could be part of the C@P universe too!

Help! Because I Need Somebody!

:iconkingofsnake:

Ok, so my comic strip: Children at Play([link] is going to be resuming updates quite soon. I'm shooting for the end of June.

Until then I really need some help from the other DA's.

I'd like to put some guest art up on my main site until regular updating begins, hopefully enough to bring back some of the old fans who don't check the comic on a regular basis anymore. Make them realize we're coming back. So if you stop by here, and have any free time at all PLEASE run by the site, pick a character or two and just draw 'em however you'd like.

I can't offer much in retribution outside of a link on my main page to wherever you like, my undying gratitude and, of course, some pretty serious props.

Oh, and I can garuntee you some watches and faves, and comments and all that other good stuff DA is all about.

Please help a brother out! I'd appreciate it more than you know!

Electonica Era

:iconkingofsnake:

One of my great musical loves is House, and Trance, and Prog-House. Im going to try to get myself to draw mre Devart by switching gears away from cartoons and towards more original material. I'm going to be drawing Techno related material, probably mostly pictures related to specific songs.

I'm Lazy

:iconkingofsnake:

Well, its not so much JUST lazy, but thats definately part of the reason I havnt been putting art up very often. I've mooved twice in the last month, plus I'm working on two web comics. Children at Play which I've been doing forever so is a priority and Modern Day Witchdoctor which premiers on December 12th. I want to start up a new theme soon. Probably underrated videogames month, or something, but I have at least 2 more cartoon network pictures I wanna do and I just got Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas so odds are good against me dissappearing again for a month ;-)

Cartoons

:iconkingofsnake:

Jazz month is over. I wish I had time to draw more pieces but I'm still figgering out how to balance Children at Play and my gallery. I'm agonna keep up theme months for a little while, I think. That being said this month will be dedicated to the Cartoon Network that I watch, basically constantly while I'm doing all the little things I do. In fact I already have one and a half pieces done. This'll give me a chance to work in a few other styles, but expect most characters to be reimagined in my own lank-tacular style.

Jazz Era

:iconkingofsnake:

So I think I'm gonna make July my very own theme month. All Jazz Era stuff. I've already started it, and I sure am in a jazz mood right now so it seems fitting. I sorta got into the whole swing era back when The Brian Setzer Orchestra came around and there was that whole Retro-swing fad. Everyone else moved on but I was like "what are you- THIS STUFF IS FUCKING COOL!" So I'll keep doodling jazz era things for the rest of the month, let me know if you got any requests, or suggestions on what I should do. Can't promise i'll do it, but I'll definately consider just about anything.

Never fear, I is here

:iconkingofsnake:

Hey hey, I've finally gotten a deviant art account. I'm gonna transfer my fan art off of my comic site over to here for now, but when the mood hits me I'll start drawing some more non-comic related stuff. Children at Play and then go to the art page if you don't feel like waiting to see the fan art I'm gonna post. I don't know what I'm gonna draw yet, but it'll probably mostly be videogame and cartoon network fan art. This is all assuming that I'll have time between doing the comic itself, I sure hope so, because I've really been in the mood to draw something other than my own characters. I'll probably post some of my writing too when I get around too it. I'm more of a novelist than a poet, but I have a few short stories and a poem or two that I'm proud enough of to post.
