I get home from work, and I’m super tired. Force myself to draw? No! I play some video games.
Also, for all you Earthbound fans, the Mother 3 fan translation is out, now you don’t have to play through the best game ever with all that damned alien moon language!
I’ve finally resigned that I probably won’t finish this 8 page comic before the 31st, which is the due date for the Biography Anthology, but that doesn’t mean I’m not finishing it. I’ve simply decided to expand the idea only a little bit and make it a primed for a mini comic.
I’m aware I’ve been posting alot of comics about work lately, mostly because that’s pretty much all I’ve been doing for the past week, tommorrow is pretty much the first day I’m going to have off in eight days. And while I don’t want to sound like I’m whining about getting the hours I was vying for weeks ago, it has stunted my creative output.
Somedays I just come home and plop on the couch, too exhausted to do much aside from uploading to the site. I’ve been able to layout panels for my Biography comic, but sadly not much else. Hopefully I’ll get tons done on my day off.
Anywho, more about today. Paula Deen was signing some cookbook for kids or something so every soccerman in a 2 state radius was compelled to visit, and line up. To get an idea how popular it was, the signing was to take place at 7pm, and by the time I was getting ready to leave at 6pm, the line had nearly stretched from one end of the store, to the exit. Thank God I left early.
But this women was probably the scariest part of the line, she came up to the registers, asking to for a chair in the line, because she “couldn’t stand”. I noticed pretty much all of Paula Deen’s admirers were pretty hefty, but this was just goddamned frightening. I literally cannot comprehend how somebody could let that happen to themselves, of course, I’m not above joking about it, I’m only human.
Yes, I know I’m not exactly skinny. But I can still take solace that I’m not THAT bad.
I drank ALOT of coffee today behind the Cafe in Barnes & Nobles. And I think I’m developing a taste for it. Crap.
I know, my very first copout day! But I feel that sketches are pretty damned interesting myself, so I hope you enjoy the insight in my Bio comic of Shigeru Miyamoto. I’m going to put my all into this comic, to really bring out rural 1950′s Kyoto, and the feel of a Zelda-esque dungeon, without borrrowing too much art from the series.
My real intention is to capture the feel of the windwaker characters, but keep some detailed backgrounds.
Two things at work that are polar opposites, but both equally interesting.
But in all seriousness who rips up a shirt and leaves it in the handicap stall?
