Recently my school has offered the entire Adobe Creative Suite for download for FREE, this includes Flash, CS3 and so on. Of course it's a huge file, so I've been having to download the dmgs in increments. Each packet is 512MB, and takes around 22 minutes or so to download. Right now I'm working on the 4th part before I go to bed. After this I ( Read more... )

It's been a while since I've made a proper journal entry here. I ended up coming down with a really bad sinus infection that seriously took me out for a week, and it took me another full week to really recover from. Seriously that first week back to school, I would just get tired walking from the parking garage into class. I missed so many ( Read more... )

Well, the first day back to classes came and went fairly uneventfully. I left early for campus, because as always finding parking during the first couple weeks of class is like trying to find a single white cat hair on a white shag rug. Your only two resources are timing and luck. Timing, you have some control over, luck, absolutely none. As it ( Read more... )

Well, I updated Patches this week after all, but it's only one page, HOWEVER I'm pretty flippin' happy with the page. :D It all just sorta came together and I feel it's pretty solid....You know you draw so many pages for a comic, and not all of them are going to be golden. It's not that those pages are flops, it's just that certain pages get this ( Read more... )

I've been feeling kind of lackluster lately...I don't know if it's because I know classes are starting next week or what, but I don't even have an appetite anymore. I've been having to force myself to eat at the proper hour. The usual things I love don't even sound good right now ( Read more... )

Well, I've still been able to keep to weekly updates, and I made another update to Patches. What's funny is that, now that I've managed updates for five straight weeks in a row, nobody says anything. I used to get more feedback when I updated only once a month. XP Well anyway, as soon as school starts it's all going back to monthly again, plus ( Read more... )

Well, I did it, I got another 3 page update done. It's my third such update, so it looks like for most of July I've been managing an update a week. I'd really like to try and continue this up until classes start, but we'll see. Usually after I make a goal, or rather aim to fit some sort of update schedule, I inevitably break it, so therefore I ( Read more... )

Well, I wasn't in the mood to tone today, so after dinner I decided to write for Patches instead. It seems like the further I get along with Patches, the screwier my scripts get, or maybe I should say the more disorderly they seem to become. I have everything rough scripted, but in the meantime I usually get new ideas which I kind of fill in the ( Read more... )

Inks are done! And now I've decided to take a break from computer work, but I'll probably start toning the new pages after dinner tonight. Right now my dad and uncle are out at the Dog n' Suds looking at old cars, and mom and my aunt are downtown at Nordstrom, or as my brother and I like to call it, Nerdstorm. XD I am probably just going to ( Read more... )

Well, I've been making some good progress on the next Patches update despite my general feelings of crappiness about my drawing skill. I'm halfway through inking the next three pages, and depending on how much running around I do this weekend, I'll probably be able to have another update early next week. My aunt and uncle are in town though for ( Read more... )
