AX
I won the AX Pin Merchandise Contest yay! XD; well I knew for a while now but I just couldn't go around saying it cause it's not up on the website o_o; Now it is, Pin Design #1: http://www.anime-expo.org/2005contest_merch.shtml Whee! XD; I just love the idea that I can see my main two characters on a pin >.<; don't they look cute as chibis? hehe >_<; So if you're attending Anime Expo this year and think the pin is cute enough, buy one? ^_^; The sad thing is I wanted to win the baby Tshirt one >.<; *sighs* that person sure won 3/5 positions in that contest o_O My friend says it makes the judging look biased (guess it kinda does?) *shrugs* But I'm happy overall so that's good XD I named the pin "Anime Fan" get it?? *cracks up* >.<; Yes I'm dorky ... When I was drawing my characters for the pin I was imagining them being around the preteen age so there's slight difference in comparison (if you look close enough) to the original character design. I'll put the pin up on my site eventually.
Now about the current webcomic status:
I crashed into the stupid artist block wall >.< page five is just being stubbornly difficult. Sorry I know I'm probably not tryign as hard as I should be in getting it done, but I've reached a point where I just want to go "gosh I suck at drawing, I can't even get this basic head angle correct anymore, was I even drawing it correctly in the first place in the past?" So I'm in a slight drawing rut since when I "try" to draw, it just doesn't come out right cause now I feel that I should start practicing drawing real ppl. And also learn to understand how angles can greatly change how much we can actually see. I can picture what I want to draw but I can't draw it, and that frustrates me a lot since I don't want to take shortcuts anymore since I've takened a few in the other pages that I already drew. Also that I'm unable to design Tamiko's mother who will be appearing in pages coming up and so I can't draw older women without making them look ... weird ... But this DOES NOT affect the update on June 13-15 with page one cause that will just take a retrace and tone and it'll be done so don't worry! It's just page 5 that might be troublesome (I'll be out of the rut soon I'm sure). I'll update on Friday probably (high school will be OVER) XD
EDIT: XD; omg my b/f told me that on the bus ride to the train station, he saw on the back of a MTA bus Tamiko and Kenji (Pin Design) that said "Register now for Anime Expo". WOW XD; *dies happy* I need a picture of it >.
