Slowly moving

Been a while since my last update. Not much going on really, however I have updated my Collection Site with new scans of pokemon cards for Mew/Mewtwo and Shuckle.

And on to more interesting news, it appears that I may be coloring comic pages soon enough. I've been going through some comic books to get ideas for colors. Hope to get the ink work from our penciler/inker soon enough. Maaaybe preview images here? I'll have to find out if that would work or not.

PS: Pixel Art!

Beautiful Beads

So, now along with the site changes, I now have created an Etsy account
http://www.etsy.com/shop/Armaina

Marvel at my bracelet making magic.. or don't. Really that's your choice. I'll be working on using all of my current beading materials and selling them off in the form of bracelets. I may also make necklaces but not sure at this time. Still trying to figure out the look of the site, maybe I can do something amazing this time. Hurray for being a CSS novice.

Also been making a lot of headway on the comic script, smoothed out some things and added a lot more. I still have some dialog that feels a bit forced to me, though I should hope to smooth that out in time. Never underestimate the importance of a script!

Progress!

My word, what is this! A change!

So I had been trying to consider what direction I should take my primary site in. The times have changed and what I present on my site has chnaged a great deal. It's been a mesh of gallery, hobbiee whatevers that has honestly been a bit confusing to me and likely others. Basicly, the site itself is a hobby site, one I use to store sections related to my interests, such as my collections. I have a lot of breakoff sites related to other interests that really do need to be looked at as their own stand  alone sites. So, this place will be my hub.

I shall intend to keep updates related to my personal 'network' here. Such as word on new art, comic progress, and general site content additions. Hopefully in this way, things will come together more.

A realization

The sad thing that I have come to discover, is that I think I have developed Cyris more as a character in the past year or two than I have in the many years I've had him around as a character in the first place. Remember kids, always make characters, not love interests. Because if you make a love interest instead of a character, they could suffer the same fate as someone that has no personality. Cyris has been saved this fate I think.

Yeah I... guess that was kinda spoilerish, but I don't think anyone that's been following me this long doesn't know about that.. already. I think.

Side note, character design going well; I am pleased.  Also, I think I will use this as an RSS feed of sorts for the updating of my home page. Eh, it's not like my main page of my site doesn't do anything more important than just plain re-directing to other sections of the site.

Scripting

Still working a lot on my script for the comic. I'm rather glad I decided to hold on the pages before I had a lot more written out, it's given me time to re-read certain sections and smooth them over. I'm reminded of the importance of giving yourself some time after you've written something before reading it again. You often catch things a week or so from the day when you first wrote it.

Also doing something I should have done months, or say, years ago. Facial studies of the more subtle differences in the human face. I've been told years ago that I should consider looking for pictures of people I think look the most like characters of mine and use their faces as a sort of guide to draw the characters. I think I shall do that, so that I can finally hash out the better details of some of my characters.

Nonsense

I have this blogger that's been sitting around, sometimes I wonder if I should use it or not since my LiveJournal gets used for most everything and has a more pleasent interface. I guess I could use this for comic updates? Maybe? Or something? Ah well, it's here for now.

Oh yeah, profile icon, is Talon, wheeeee.
