Semi back... and lacking...

well, finished both my exams, the only thing remaining now is this stupid exhibition...

That and I have to go in mon/tues next week... blah. I want to be free and dwelve into this webcomic I so badly want to do.

As Rene pointed out yesterday though I have many loop holes and I saw that actually a lot of my characters have too much in common... so Im trying to find some sort of idea that I can adapt them all too, or have the climax to the story in sight and build toward that. Even if it isnt the final plot end its where I can start focusing and restructuring as I go..

Great, so how does one get inspiration? definitely when you're supposed to be working! Which reminds me I should be doing that...

No new webcomics yet.. hopefully something interesting will turn up.

Oh lastly if you want to start your own webcomic I reccomend this website, though I know its a little bit of a blogger website I found the features for webcomics better here at wordpress It's where one day.. star euphoria or star chasers.. Im not sure yet (ooooo look you know possible titles)

College takes over... for the moment



For the moment, I am MIA. I've just had my 21st birthday party this weekend and a exam today - history of photography. I freaked out a little bit for it but it ended up being alright and a lot of repeated questions from the june paper.

I've got my portfolio as well as another exam on friday to worry about so unfortunately a lot of things like looking for new webcomics and drawing has been put on hold. Im still sketching down ideas and practicing to hopefully start my own webcomic! Yes, but its a long way off and a lot of these holidays are going to be spent cramming ideas and characters into a reasonable plot.

Anyways, I had a awesome Medieval/fantasy birthday party. After awhile I contemplated going as a type of Lighting character but that failed after I realised the amount of work needed to even resemble something as awesome as that. I ended up being a elf, with real leaves attached to myself. With my thanks to miss velociraptor again.

Birthday


It was my 21st yesterday.. I had a really good day.

The man at the gym acknowledged my existence by saying happy birthday, I finally figured out where my IPOD goes on the freaking bicycles. Really nifty!

My wonderful bf gave me this fantastic book, I reeeeeeeally reeeeeeeeeeeally love her, shes soooo good! <3 *anime eyes* Francesca Woodman.

That and a lovely book on chocolate recipes, photography, some jewellery and Ipod Donut speaker!! <3 its like this one but white, for my Ipod Nano 3rd gen. ^_^ the sound is seriously good for such a tiny speaker...

New Webcomic Review - Dominic Deegan

(btw the image above is from the fan art section of Dominic Deegan - Im not sure who to credit the picture too)
I've been looking around for new webcomics... and It's been tricky to find something that isnt new and is both A) relatively well drawn or shows promise, and B) Good developing story.

When I first started reading this comic I didnt think much of it to be honest, in fact I gave up after a few comics since I thought this is just going to be stand alone comics with cheesy one liners. But with encouragement again from Miss Velociraptor (the only one who bothers reading this!! XD - I do this for my sanity... or lack thereof)

So heres the comic link to Dominic Deegan and I love it. If you don't believe me, check out the fan art - thats enough to know that it has a great following and story. Not only that but its been going since 2002 so you have years of comics to get through to the current ones! <3 style="font-weight: normal;">Michael Terracciano, creator of Dominic Deegan is obviously not the greatest artist, but thats what I like! he has a style of his own. How he adapts his style to movement and expressions is amazing and thats what I apprechiate - originality. His story telling is fantastic and characters have development! (OH THANK GOD!)

PS: I hope he gets that scarf back I liked it :(

New Webcomic Review - Red String



sooooo I found another webcomic that I got addicted to. I've also just managed to catch up to the current update which is rather infuriating as well as good since perhaps I will stop owning my cap.

Im a sucker for Romance. I never thought I'd ever admit that considering my personality of the typical gamer/anime geek is strong. Whatever! I enjoy silly japanese dramas and this one is no exception.

The story is well written and takes place within a reasonable amount of time, nothing lags on for no reason like pre-predecessor obsession Misfile. XD

So whats its name already? Red String

Gina biggs writes both the story as well as the illustrates the comic. Its been going on for some years now and I can understand why after having to force myself to stop reading it when it started become the early hours of the morning.

This is obviously a girl based comic, and I definitely dont recommend it to guys. I know, men arent really interested or understand romance. haha.

So, our main character is Ogawa, Miharu. A young girl we get to witness grow up through the comic. She is first forced into an arranged marriage with the guy beside her in the picture Fujiwara, Kazuo. As the names suggest its based in japan (Miharu is obviously not a natural blonde). And the characters are all going through school learning how to handle life and love I guess. Its a cute story that passes the time and much to my horror amused me with character development and progression. There were some obvious plot points I picked up but Bigg's story telling gets better the longer you read.

So check it out and keep supporting webcomics.
