My pencil case is lost!!!

Firstly, sorry it’s been a while again. But I guess, it’s safe to say that I’m pretty close to drawing up this project. But my pencil case is lost! And this is a comic project I really want to try drawing traditionally. Sucks!

Once again, I’m over a week overdue

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this already, but I’m currently taking on Winter School right now for script writing. This course is pretty important to me, so it’s bound to hinder my progress on this project.

Good news, though: I’m still working on the project in my spare time, especially with story planning n’ whatnot. I’ve especially been focusing on the more internal aspects (as in character arcs, themes n’ stuff - basically, the stuff that’s not the main action) because it’s pretty all over the place right now and needs some refining.

I’ve also got some future plans to help me with settings, too, since I’ve barely touched upon those compared to other elements. These are going to be based off the writing exercises I’ve done in my class today, which all had to do with setting/environment/location. Let’s hope I get started with that, soon.

Surprise! (sorry this log is late again…)

So I feel like I’m gonna get started actually drawing up this project, but it’ll be pretty different to how the prototype comics were drawn. I’m doing it traditionally. Y'know, with paper and ink(ing pens). I feel like, since this is a comic with dumb things just happening, with no real story or anything, I want this to be easy to produce.

The book I'm gonna draw this project in

I’m not 100% confident with my traditional inking skills yet, but I believe that the more I get used to it, the better I’ll be (obviously). And I’m pretty sure, since this is my first comic project that I’m actually drawing up, I’ll want to begin by not having to worry too much about colours n’ whatnot. Pretty excited to get this thing started (again!) Let’s see how far I’ll go.

My current inking skills. It's not the best...

Making some progress...

Firstly, sorry about not updating at all last Sunday. I was really hoping to get the script for one of my projects completed (which hadn't been completed until a couple days ago). Well, at least now that that's done, I can finally get back to this project. I'm starting to plan out the first couple scripts. Hope to get a good chunk of them done by the end of this week!

I finally finished that last chapter!

First off, I'll apologise for not updating last Sunday. I really thought I could complete that last chapter by then, but, course, I wasn't able to. Good news though, I completed my first draft of that chapter a couple days ago, and it's now available to read on my main comics site!

Also, I've been thinking about rewriting some of my older fight + action scenes. I do feel like there needs to be improvements in terms with storytelling, especially. I'm actually also thinking about experimenting with thumbnails in advance, just so I can see how well this project flows on paper. I also want to get back to continuing my concept art stuff again, soon. Other than all that, I've really not much else to say.

No more homework!

Now that my uni stuff’s started to cool down, I can finally start working on this again! Unfortunately, I hadn’t really thought up many ideas for this project in between breaks, but I’ve got some plans for the week.

First, I wanna complete the website I’m building for it. I forgot to mention this last week, but this project’s getting it’s own site, now. You can view it >>here<<. Second off, I should definitely redesign this series’ title since it’s different now. 

In the meantime, I should also organise the scripts I’ve got for them. And maybe, I might redraw some old pages when I get back to drawing this series up!

I am free!

I’ve just recently submitted my last assignment! I’ve got a bit of a holiday now, which means now I’ve got some time to work on my projects.

In between my homework sessions though, I’ve still been thinking about this project. For this one, I’ve mostly been thinking about title-related stuff. I feel like I might *actually* just make the title of this project the idea I had before (it was “Steel House in the Prairie”). I think I’ve grown attached to it. For the last time, let’s just hope it’s here to stay…

Also, bonus! I talked to my friends about the characteres of this project again! Mainly it was the rooftop robots of the main/secondary cast. I’m really happy that they like them.
