The last year's been kinda rough of me. Death, struggling with getting my second comic up and running, appearing in one podcast and trying to run another, etc. Sometimes it feels like it's barely possibly to even draw the one page a day. Well, first off, I have updated the Previous Issues page. I have also updated my Fan Art page with an excellent drawing of Ultra, Psi-Kid, and Clarissa by the super talented Aisaku.
Sadness seems to be a big part of my life this year. My mentor died this Sunday morning of a heart attack.
His name was Wayne Howard.
I first knew him in a chatroom as "Eagle-1", but he has taught me many things about how
to carry myself as an artist, and a human being. It was his influence that pushed me to have the update schedule that
I still to this day carry out, and my inking style, influenced by his own. He taught me to use a brush to ink,
but he taught me so much more about myself and where I should go with my art, and how I should grow as a person.
Thank you Wayne.
Life has been going really well lately. I have done a lot of great work comic-wise the past few months, created some very fun illustrations in the past couple of weeks, plus I have been starring on a web pod-cast regarding webcomics.
Also a note guys, I love hearing any comments regarding my comic, please be sure to use my forum. Also, my other comic, Hero Academy, has been going again for about a month. Please check it out!
Well guys, I'm really sorry I couldn't have kept the Sketchbook Sundays up. It was fun the very short time it lasted, but as things happened in my life(my cat passing away for one, some legal issues, etc), it just didn't seem as important.
Also, my second comic, Hero Academy, is going to start again. The artist I was working with, Ivan, has had some personal issues of his own, including a death in his family, so of course a hiatus was only right until things started going right for him.
I've been sort of on autopilot for the past two months, and I hate being that way, only half alive. Well, it's over now, so I guess it's like they always say, 'get busy living, or get busy dying'. I'm ready to live again.
Boudica, Warrior Queen, a soon to be appearing character in the comic. I've always had a soft spot for strong feminine characters that embody something grand and pure and noble.
In sadder news... my cat's dying. The vet gives her only a few months left of life, and recommended I just make her as comfortable as possible.
A new concept I'm introducing. Every week, I'll try to sketch something new and different and post it on Sunday.
But come on guys, don't just stare at the drawings, talk about them, here, on the forums!
That's right, I've decided to get up and redesign the Point Guardian website. No new features planned(as of yet), but I will be looking into building some sort of RSS feed. If the site doesn't look right, just hit the refresh button.
But come on guys, don't just stare at the new site design, talk about it, here, on the forums!
