Just a little update with a few things that really need to be read:

Weekly Help Desk Update - May 8, 2008

I've been kinda emotionally and mentally pooped lately. A good friend reminded me that I've done what I can in these situations and instead of letting it eat away at me I need to focus on all the artistic goodness I'm a part of right now. He's very right. After all, I am an artist above all else.

The big project I'm on right now is clean up and letters for The Fix (button is at the bottom, if you're curious!). When *viper13 finishes inking a page, I scan it, clean it up, add digital borders and letters. I've never done lettering before so this has been an awesome learning experience. Letterers are definitely unsung greats because this is anything but easy!

When I'm waiting on pages, I'm either doing thumbnails for the 8 page horror comic script I wrote (with the help of *jaster0001 and *skulljammer) or concept art for a graphic novel that's based on comics *jaster0001 wrote a few years back. It's planned for release after The Fix and the guys' next book "The Mechanic" are done. The thumbnails and the concept art have both been SO much fun! I didn't think I'd enjoy comic page thumbnailing because my brain, for the longest time, has refused to think in panels. But I'm getting it.

And, of course, when I'm not doing all that I'm constantly picking away at the years of dirt and dust caked on top of my story. Right now, I'm busy researching civil war history and folklore. It's amazing what I've learned about my own fantasyesque story by reading actual history. It's exciting.

So yar, I do indeedy have lots of good artsy things to focus on.



Alrighty, back to work with me! You guys have a happy Thursday!

Be deviant. Be good!
