January is almost over now, and school has started up again. I’m almost done, this is my graduating year, then it’s off into the workforce…
Since this is my last semester, my focus will be on graduating; SoS updates will slow down. T_T I don’t like this any more than my dedicated readers do…but I have been maintaining the site everyday, even if it is just something small.
The page I’m uploading right now (chapter 3, page 11), is a little different than the other chapter 2 & 3 pages. I usually ink my pages digitally with my tablet, but I didn’t like the scanned page I had, so I drew it over again. I liked the original pencil so much that I inked it by hand and scanned it in to add the tones. The lines may look a lot rougher than my usual lines, but I find that the characters end up looking slighty different when I use Illustrator to ink them. I really liked the way Takeshi looked in this drawing, and I didn’t want to change him.
I really like getting messages from SoS ‘fans’ who tell me specific stuff about the manga. I get a lot of “great comic” and “like your style” stuff (^_^ thanks for the nice compliments btw), but what I really love is when people tell me “I really love Takeshi! He’s so hot” or “Korin is my favourite character, tee hee!”. Maybe I’ll get a poll running to see which male character has the biggest following, once the story gets rollin’ more and more male characters are introduced ^-^.
Btw…the Picture above is one I did of Lela for a manga competition. I sent a few entries all the way to London, England. I doubt that any will win anything, there are a lot of entries and I’m not the best illustrator; My CG drawings don’t look as fancy as most ppl’s ’cause I prefer the ‘cell style’ colouring. But, if by some chance I do win some prize money, it’s going to go towards the Doujinshi fund ^_^
This is one super duper site6
