During my move

Before I lose internet access for quite possibly a month or so, I wanted to mention that Ms. Hunt and I will (in my case, try) be guests in MacPaladin’s live podcast, Moonhawk Studios Presents at Talkshoe.com. It will be on July 8th, starting at 7PM Pacific, 10PM Eastern. Listeners are encouraged to join in with calls or interact via the IM feature! I guess it’s a pain to figure out, from what I’m told.^^; I hope you can listen in and ask a few questions, I think I’ll be too nervous to talk. (lol) Visit the Goodbye Chains LJ community or watch Resplendent Beard for updates about this.

I can still be contacted quickly via Twitter. (Hooray for cellphone apps!)

今週初めに大方1カ月、インターネットに接続できなくなる。この間は、日本語版「グッドバイ・チェインズ」は更新できありません。本当にすみません。

See you next month!

Burned out…

Since I’ve been pimping elsewhere, if you’ve ever wanted to understand Colin a lot more, head over here. :D

Phew. Spent a couple of days penciling pages and doing a bit of design work. I’ve finally reached Act1page10 to redraw, and it focuses on Colin’s gun. I was getting frustrated trying to drawing the design work in the panel, so I made a design sheet. Good thing too, because the first few designs I showed were turned down. XD We couldn’t find “manly” engravings for that time period, so I went with a loud design. When I ink it, I will try to make it look engraved.

I’ve always put off making design sheets like this because honestly–I’m too lazy. (;v;) I just want to jump into the comic. Every time I’ve made character designs, they look like butt until I get to draw them in the comic. It’s just more comfortable for me, strangely enough. It makes me worried I’m not creative at all if I can’t draw solo pieces or even basic headshots with any interest though. When I have no access to my computer for almost a week (*cry*) I’ll practice in my notepad.

I also worked on our future thank-you-for-donation-gift. I keep wanting to add pages to this damn thing, maybe it should be a minicomic instead, lol. ;-; But nah, I’m pretty excited because we’re planning full color. If you want to peep, click here. Warnings for “suggestive” dude content. Yup, there will be eyes. Yup, that’s exactly what you think Banks is doing. (lol)

While drawing this though, I was amazed by the emotional power of actually seeing eyes. What Colin is feeling really can be ambiguous with those glasses. I’ve tried to make Colin’s expressions and feelings come through with his glasses on, and in this bonus work, I kept thinking I was drawing him wrong. (lol)

Tired ramble

Ugh, I know my art can be pretty inconsistent from page to page, but cripes, the last few have been horrible. Magically appearing coats from last Friday’s page, and I can never make up my mind how Johnny’s cabin is built. I want to fix it all.

But here, have some kiddie Colin and Banquo.

Endou x 2

In the upcoming Kaiji movie, Endou is played by a woman. (Name changed to Endou Rinko) And I have no objections against it! The few photos I’ve seen with her on the set, I think she’ll pull it off nicely.

Friday’s page might be up later tomorrow instead of late tonight, I’m very sorry. I’ll try to finish on time.

It’s been even longer

Since I doodled the best Yakuza there is. 10 minute scribble at Tegaki.

Edit: Had to do Yukio too. I still can’t draw that dude’s hair.
