Ho-hum Homework

Journal Entry: Tue Apr 8, 2008, 7:41 PM
  • Mood: Lazy
  • Listening to: Spainish Techno
  • Reading: ........my assignments.....
  • Watching: .....Nothing. Unfortunately.
  • Playing: Tales of the Abyss
  • Eating: Popcorn
  • Drinking: Canada Dry
Geh. So much freaking homework! >_<


.....I'm sorry to all those watchers who hate yaoi/shounen-ai/sasunaru, as that seems to be what I've been posting lately. I'm really trying to get it out of my system, but so far it's not workin'. Geh.

I'm really bad at dynamic composition, and I'm starting to really beat myself up for it. 'Can't seem to get that sense of motion and light that all of those other seriously good anime artists here seem to get. My only consolation is that most of them draw Shoujo style, and I draw Shounen..... so my lines and coloring and such tends to be more gritty and 'accurate' as opposed to smooth and artistic.

But the lack of dynamics is really bothering me... =/

I'm working on GreyRune feverently (as well as scripting two additional comics for friends and maintaining a long multi-chaptered fafiction), but this perspective page it literally killing me. I don't normally work on stuff off-and-on (I like to do things in one shot), but this is taking way too long. I'm nearly done, though, 75% completed. So after that's done I'll be able to post the other two pages that I've been sketching in my spare time (spare time? Whazzat?)

.....For those who actually read this, I love you guys! <3

PLEASE READ THE WHOLE THING. ITS SO DANG TRUE*

1. At least 2 people in this world love you so much they would die for you.

2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.

3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.

4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they dont like you.

5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.

6. You mean the world to someone.

7. If not for you, someone may not be living.

8. You are special and unique.

9. Someone that you dont even know exists loves you.

10. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.

11. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world.

12. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably wont get it, but if you believe in yourself, probably, sooner or later, you will get it.

13. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.

14. Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know.

15. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great. Add this as a comment to ten of your friends tonight and at midnight your true love will find you. Something good will happen to you at 2:25 tomorrow. Get ready for the biggest shock of your life. Whoever breaks this chain letter will be cursed with 10 relationship problems for the next ten years tag ur it!!!!! send this to 15 ppl in the next 143 min. and then press F6 and your crushes name will appear in big letters!! it works.... but if you break the chain.. you will be cursed w/ relationship problem

The campus newspaper will pay you $3 a strip for a comic. Might be worth checking out since most of the comics in the paper suck pretty badly in content and design.

Also, if you want to draw comics like you said, you really should save yourself some time and just become an art major. You'll find new media too full of theory with no real practical application, or defined purpose.

P.S. if you check DA at school people will look over your shoulder and see your name and then comment.
