Wednesday, May 13, 2009--12:55 AM Yeah, pages didn't go up on time, cuz of crazy killer storm in Carbondale. We're talking about like, massive, mature, old oaks completely uprooted, and just sheared power line poles. It was hardcore, man. 100 mile an hour winds and shit. Some crazy bullshit. So, that's what happened with that. I just got back to Barrington last night, and when I left C'dale at about noon there was still no power. Fun times, fun times. And people thought the hail from the night before was bad...^_^ yeah, that was pretty epic. Anyway, next project: up next, we've got Setsuna and Ornexos and The Brain, which is fully written, and clocks in at twenty single-panel pages. Which will be a nice change of pace after 3 years of GA, which I pretty much only had a rough idea of where it was going, until Take 3, wherein I just got tired of its bullshit. So, Setsuna and Ornexos and The Brain is an adaptation of something I originally did for my Psychology class in high school, a...I believe it was twenty seven page thing (again, single panel pages), called Setsuna's Brain. It was actually what I developed Setsuna for in the first place. That reminds me, I've got some shit in old sketchbooks where he did things. There's even this one filler page I don't think I ever put into GA...well, eventually I'll get them all into the Sketchbooks. That'll be good. So, yeah. Setsuna's Brain, that was fun. I threw Setsuna together at that time as a rip on Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, thrown into a children's book thing for a Psych project: make a kid's book about the brain. ^_^ So, I did. With a rip on Nny, and a Gir re-color. Out of that project was Setsuna born, to develop his own character...of sorts. Over the years, he's been my guinea pig. Whenever I've had a school project in which I needed a quick, easy-to-draw character, I've pulled him out to do it with--eventually alongside Ornexos, who came from a scrapped, horrible script that never went anywhere. Eventually, the pair got thrown into fillers, and both characters have had time in the limelight of the site banner. I've got two DWS Shop icons starring the two of them, and in my mind, they're the mascots of DWS. Though it really doesn't show. So, I'd been drawing in my sketchbook a lot, trying to put together a new style--quicker, truer to my roots then the Amerime I've been spewing for years and, as always, using Setsuna as my guinea pig for much of it. In the meantime, I'd pulled out Setsuna's Brain, and the idea I'd had to finish it (one page never got fully penciled and inked, two pages never got drawn at all), and the thoughts I'd flirted with previously to re-do it, updated with Ornexos in the place of the Gir re-color...and eventually I cranked out the script. So, after finding a style I could live with (see GA is Done, With Setsuna and Ornexos), I started penciling. Currently, the first five pages are ready to be scanned, and the sixth is mostly finished. I don't know when this series will start updating--I really want to have it finished before I start posting this go-round, for a few reasons: One) I'll be able to actually maintain an update schedule, two) I'll be free to work ahead on the next project, with minimal downtime between S & O and The Brain and it, three) it's just something completely different from how I've worked before, and I want to try it. So, there's all that. Again, don't know when it'll be ready to start posting, though I know I won't even be able to scan this bullshit until I'm back in Carbondale. Which won't be until June 7. BUT! None of that really matters anyway, cuz it's not like I have a fanbase of any sort. I really should make it more obvious that I'm more writing these things for me. Ah, well. I forget, sometimes. ^_^ Hence the delusions joke in the first page of GA is Done, With Setsuna and Ornexos. Fun times, fun times. Anyway, enough of this bullshit. |
