So I'm going to be putting off the comic for a longer time. I have decided, partly thanks to the advice of the people at the MegaTokyo Forums, to put some (a lot) of time into learning how to draw better. I'll continue to put up some of my sketches as I work along, but don't expect any new pages for a while. In fact, expect for there to be a new attempt at the first couple of pages in some time in the future, but not any time soon. I need more work. I want to be the very best. Like no one ever was. And all that jazz.

Anyways, in other news, I am now 19!!! I had my birthday yesterday, and my good friends and roommates, Nick and Jacob took me out to a Chinese place for it, which was really nice. Later that night, the entire dorm hall came along and gave me some cake and sang happy birthday. They only did it because they had cake laying around that they needed to get rid of, but it was still nice. So I enjoyed my birthday far more than I thought I would. Squee, I guess.

I guess here's a little thing for you guys too look at. It's pretty lame.... just a doodle of characters from the story on some lined paper that got folded. I would have included the picture I drew on a napkin from a Chinese restaurant, but that got shredded in the dryer. So there you go.

So if any of you have read my other highly neglected blog, deepsouthfriedthoughts.blogspot.com, you know that this is a character who is eventually going to show up in the story. Don't worry, though, it will be a long time yet. ^_^ Anyway, you can see that there is some Bleach influence here, especially in mask that she gets in some of the sketches. There is a special reason that she wears that mask sometimes, but no it's not because she has some kind of monster inside her. Well sort of, but it's more idelogical than that.
Anyway, I need more time to get the page done because I have a lot of work and reading and writing,etc to do.

Later,

The Kid

So... Yeah.

I know I've been gone for quite a while (not that too many people care) and you guys have been looking desperately for the next page of my awesome comic... (riiiiiight....) And now you see this awesome drawing and your like, "That's not a comic page, Kid."

Well.... Yeah.

See I drew the next page but by the time I got back to school, I decided that the page was so terrible that it needed to burn for all eternity in Hades. Put shortly, I'll be giving you some pictures for the next few days until I finish the page. Yeah, I know. You all will be forced to check out a bunch of sketches and long explanations about what I was thinking while I drew them. Oh well, too bad for you, oh nonexistent audience of nobody. ^_^
