Pokemon Jaded. What I've been working on.





So this is what I've been working on for a while now.

And I might be working on similar things too as I go along. Me and my room mates (yes that's them in the comic and yes I'm the idiot with the hat) have been thinking about doing something like this for a while now.

We are three trainers who, due to changing poke laws, are struggling to keep afloat the economic situations, and so have joined party, as it were, to keep going. Each is a good trainer in his own right, and each has two pretty good pokemon (except Nick. You'll see what I mean later). I don't know where I'm going to publish this, but as soon as I do, I'll let you guys know.

Hi. Update about the comic

So I was sitting around thinking when I should have been researching for a paper that is now a little late (thank god for kind and understanding teachers who are willing to give a little to help out stupid students like me) and I was looking at the information I have for the story. I realized that I have a full chapter done. One full chapter, 13 pages. Done. Now I can work on chapter two. Except I can't. Cause I'm busy with this paper that I need to do. Note to all of you out there who would like to do a web comic, don't unless you have very little else to concentrate on. Like school. Or friends. Or family. Or anything real life related. Of course if this is the case your webcomic is going to suck. In which case you might as well not write it.

...

Never mind.

Anyways, to talk about something less depressing. I wanted to start a seperate site for the comic once I get around to drawing it out. I want to wait till I have at least 4 or 5 chapters written out, so you'll probably start seeing me advertising the site sometime over the summer. If I can get a job and a place to stay while I'm working on the comic of course.

I have given up a fun MMORPG to work on this comic and to spend more time doing things I must do, like updating this blog and stuff, so you guys had better appreciate it!!

So as for any new drawings, I have none scanned in (sorry) but I do have some information. I have added designs for some interesting weapons that Jack gets to use and their various modes and powers. Lots of fun stuff.

Upd4t3s? L0L Wu7?

So here I am again, typing away while waiting for a class to go by. I'm only really writing this because I feel terrible about a test I royally botched and the fact that my next class I am supposed to turn in a paper that I'm not even half-way done on. So here I am waiting for my fate to eat me up like so many moray eels in the reef of life.

As far as the story goes, I've been working on writing the script for it as well as studying various things to give me an edge in drawing. Hopefully soon I'll be able to procure some .5 mechanical pencils for light sketching, some .9's for filling in big spaces and some .7 blues for initial stuff as well as a light source I can place under my drawing so I can ink them... and some decent pens for said inking. Lot's of work, but somehow, I'm kinda looking forward to it. This summer is going to be nothing but working at whatever restaurant or burger joint will hire me and drawing. I suppose that at some point I'll need to sleep, but I may not have time for that.

I feel over whelmed as usual whenever I start planning large things, and without a doubt, there's going to be lots of things that get in the way of my initial plan, but that's okay, because I'm at least good enough at life to roll with the punches.

Speaking of the future, I wanted to share my dream with those who read this (Susan and maybe Aunt Julie if she still checks this place for kicks and giggles). I imagine myself in 10 years being that guy you see at cheap coffee shops who chats with people while sucking on a cigarette and tapping away on a laptop, countless sketches and such littering the area, obscuring the stains on the table. Thicker goatee and mustache, longer hair, maybe a little less color in it, but eyes as green, blue, gray as ever, and just a mischievous as when I was 17. As you pass by the table, you might think, "That guy looks like an eccentric nut job who barely scrapes by in life... But I'll be darned if he doesn't look like he's enjoying himself at least." And hopefully you'll be right. I don't want to be rich, or famous necessarily. I want enough to get by, enough to live and continue doing what I really enjoy, putting ink and lead to paper.

Same Kangol slouch cap pushing my bangs over my eyes, of course. Can't ever forget the slouch cap.

Thanks to those who follow this barely updated, rather uninteresting blog. I find writing to be a great catharsis and knowing that at least one other person out there might read it and think something about it is nice.

"Heeeeee's Aliiiiiiiive!!"

Yeah. Unfortunately.

I'm still around, but I don't get to get on as much anymore for various reasons. For one thing, I'm a little depressed and I'm working through some college problems (Money being at the top of the list, which it wouldn't be if if I had actually worked to grab scholarships while the year was on, but I let myself get distracted by a stupid MMORPG). So here I am trying desperately to get as many points toward my grades as possible so I can at least pass. Go me.

In other news, I have been thinking about buying a site of my own instead of using blogspot. I would like to continue to work through blogspot as well but the main thing to me is working out the comic and pictures while attempting to pass so I can be one year closer to a bachelor's degree. So, yes this place will remain pretty dead for a while.

No new drawings right now, I've been too busy working on stuff for class, sleeping, and drawing for my "assignments."
