30 days of Comic...?

Ok so I've been giving it a lot of thought (more than I should, lol with another page of FC LATE LATE LATE) and I'm probably totally going to do the 30 pages in 30 days in Nov.  I know what story I'm going to do, and all I need to do for that is to get it all written out...shouldn't take long, just a couple hours of me sitting down and getting it all organized. My only fear is that it will be more than 30 pages >.<
My only fear other than the fear that I'll fail miserably XD

I really need a different style for this though because I'm kind of anal with my finished work...and I will have to be faster than my normal snail pace. So far I'm trying to experiment and all I'm getting is...well...this.

I will most likely be doing it black and blue...I like that color sceme and it gives me something more than just BW or pencil for a finished product. Since it's a fast, sketchy thing, I want it to stand out from and be nothing like FC even though it's in the continuity - and I won't have time for a lot of computer editing...so this is something I can do by hand. And now I have an excuse to hit the art stores in search of blue implements! :D Here's a few things I've been messing with
B&B alex2
not great. The scan makes it worse...it has a little more depth I swear.


You know, I'll never understand why people always think Alex is a girl... O.o B&B Alex 1
JK. I get it.

Tried to get a style out of this and failed. But this is most likely what he'll be wearing in the beginning.
 B&B Alex
Only hopefully better. I wanted something more stylized and simple than this even but it took me forever to develop this style! I can't even begin to try something new in two months...


Alex in the morning evening before coffee.... cofee zomb
 May be my favorite thing ever.


and finally, trying to get a new hairstyle for David...I know what Alex looks like centuries ago, but I always have trouble with David. I should mess with the doll and see what I can come up with...or just keep doodling.

Lamely enough, I want to call it Black & Blue. I figure it's good name for several reasons, one of them being it's Alex's name, and y'know, I try to throw that around whenever I can. I thought (ambitiously) that if I get through this one, the next could be a different color like red. Which would work in the story somehow (I already know how if you haven't guessed, but I am trying really hard not to get too ahead of myself). I dunno, it may change, especially if I crap out halfway through....we'll see!

Web Comics

Just a few links to the ones I read

This could be my favorite

I love this one but she updates like me, never.

New to me and pretty fabulous

ZOMBIEHS!!!

If anyone actually sees this and wants to link me to some new ones, please do! I am always up for new stuff.

Thoughts

I'm thinking about Nanowrimo already, and since I did it last year and won (go me!!) I thought I'd try something different this year. I know there's some thing where people try to do a whole comic in one month but I think it's in the spring...I thought I'd do it for Nano this Nov. I read a little about the other one, and it seems that it's not so much a day every day a month, but since it's "Nano" I thought I'd try for a page a day.

D:

Insanity?? Who knows. It's just in the thought stage right now...which means I already have a "great" idea and really want to try to do it. I LOVED Nano last year, I lived on the forums and I don't want to have to give that up so I'll just go along like it's a novel! lol I'll be a "rebel!!" Or whatever. I just want to stay in the drawing habit and attempting to write 50000 words in a month takes some time away from my art. This might be better, and since it will be super-rough, it might get me out of any boxes I have.

Anyway, that's the thought for this year. We'll see if it happens.

Sketchies!!

Dump dump dump

 Alex looking worse-for-wear...probably in his younger days.

  wing
One-half of the tattoo I hate drawing on his back. This is my favorite sketch of it...I want to finish it more and slap it in illustrator as a vector so I will never have to draw it again!



  CRAZY HAIR sketch
I...have no idea.

Sketch Dump!!

Welcome to the new format! :D

As my third official first post, I figured I'd just do a quick dump of a few things I had on hand. Some are older, but I figure they're still relevant, so they get included too.

Ok, Nuff Said! On to arts!

RYUJI 1
Quick character sketch of Ryuji, done to get his doll in order before it actually got to me. I did it a few years ago, and sadly it remains my favorite drawing of him >.<



smDavid doodles
David and Alex, wardrobe concepts.


 smBOO
Boo, character concept


 Sherpa Hat sketch1
Did this on the front of my self-made planner last year. I finished it eventually, both on the cover and digitally...



corpse light cover concept1
Concept art for the "cover" of my NANOWRIMO novel of last year. The art got finished, the novel didn't. I did "win" however! :D Go me!!


 smbbalex-david sketch
 Alex and David. One of my favorite drawings of them ever! So cutes!

I posted art!! Yay! Now if I could only keep it up.... D:
