Journal - "24 Hour Comic Day!"

Oct 02, 2009 21:09

PARTYTIME!!!

I still have... 3ish hours until I can actually start, but I figured I'd put this post up now. Y'know. Pre-gaming and all that.



9:15 PM - About 3 hours to go. My roommate and I got the living room all set up for comic making. She's attempting this alongside me, but not she's not being as hardcore as I am. She plans on sleeping and she's going out to a party tomorrow night. I AM GOING TO TRY AND BLAST THROUGH UNTIL MIDNIGHT TOMORROW. This might fail.

Our awesome set up: here and here!

10:20 PM - I am apparently passing time until midnight by writing a Jason/Tara fic? IDK. I'm ridiculous.

11:58 PM - OMG! 2 Minutes! And OMG there is Tara/Jason fic in the comments!

12:00 AM - IT BEGINS!!!! WISH ME LUCK!

1:00 AM - Okay, that hour went by WAY TOO FAST. WTF.

OUTLINES: here and here!

1:48 AM - Sketched out three pages already. Taking a break and eating some toast. I'm thinking that I might actually sleep for a couple hours tonight. I mean, I can totally pump out 24 sketched pages no prob. It's the inking that's gonna slow me down. BUT I HAVE A PLAN-ish!

2:29 AM - I'm partway through page 5, which is rad. However, I'm going to bed now, because I am tired to the point that the art is suffering. :(

Won't be updating for a few hours! :D

9:29 AM - Back! Once I get to 8 sketched pages, I'll scan them in for you guys to see. :D

9:35 AM - So I left this awesome drawing board back at home and I really wish I hadn't done that. It was so damn handy and drawing on computer paper is difficult without it. I could do this in my sketchbook, but I am picky and the paper in my sketchbook is just a teensy bit too big for my scanner. ;_;

11: 33 AM - Okay, so scanning/formatting takes up time! BOOO. Also, I'm 1/3 done with sketching! EXCITING!!!!

Only about 12.5 hours left to finish this sucker up. OH MAN.

ps the comic is about Ellie from Fireside Tales. It is REALLY DEPRESSING. I should have done a happier comic. :(

12:35 PM - Lunch! My roommate put on Wall-E and so my productivity this past hour went WAY down. ;_;

2:18 PM - Halfway! 12/24 comics sketched! SO COOL. My goal now is to finish the sketches and attempt to finish inking at least 1/3 of them by midnight.

2:20 PM - I feel that I should note that I don't actually have a script for these comics. I am totally going to wing the conversations, apparently.

2:26 PM - I am procrastinating when I should be working. DRAWWWWWWW MOOOOOOORE.

3:47 PM - Scanning stuff in! Also, I am totally crushing on my own character. Hnnnnnnghhh! Duncan, WHY MUST YOU BE SO ADORABLE AND SWEET? You are like Tyce V2!! D:

4:06 PM - I am slowing down. NOT GOOD! I should be speeding up! D:

5:00 PM - 16/24! I am 2/3's of the way done!!! I am also bailing for a bit to shower/go get FESTIVAL FOOOOOOOD!

5:30 PM - So I am thinking that I wouldn't mind not inking these pages today. It'd be kind of neat to actually do them on the computer sometime in the future? Then again it may never get finished if I fuck around with computer inking too much. I am conflicted. :\

6:49 PM - Back! Also, now that I have seen the outside world it breaks my heart to have to come back and make more goddamn comics. ;_;

ps Cheese Fries are still excellent.

6:54 PM - Five hours to make 8 comics. CAN IT BE DONE?

6:56 PM - ANSWER: Probably, but first I have to get off the computer. :\

8:30 PM - 18/24. UGH. I WANT TO STOP. I HATE COMICS. D:<

Watched the iCarly awards. Not really much of an episode. Boring.

8:42 PM - I know I should just push my way through to the end. It will be satisfying and I will be proud of myself, but my brain is slowly turning into mush. ;____________;

10:33 PM - So I, uh... did the dishes! And did this: http://community.livejournal.com/ship_manifesto/246662.html?thread=7446150#t7446150

But I haven't drawn in over two hours. I am a monster. D:

11:24 PM - I think I'm done. I'm just... tired. And the prospect of more drawing sounds HORRIFIC right now.

I only have 6 more pages to go and I do plan to do them at soonish. I'll figure out inking or whatever after that. :3
