Maija — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 10:40:17 -0700

Oh noes, I FORGOT ABOUT COMIC KONGA! I still remembered on Saturday. ;_; I'll have to work hard to catch up before it is over!

Crystal balls and other things

The tonal line is down to the brush pen. Very useful if a little hard to get used to (haven't used one for a while).

Hmm, crystal ball? It was just a quick way to vignette the piece and stop me from drawing a lot of background, but sure, hey, I planned it all along, you have recognised my genius, good woman; such subtle metaphors are a hallmark of my work!

I'm in!!

U know somehow I can so relate to that comic and I dont know whether thats a good thing or bad thing!!

anyhow I do like how the comic looks, love your tonal line.... and the interesting part is that the window looks like a crystal ball! so is it supposed to be thats what ur future holds to wear all kind of jewels and dazzle away!!

So yes I am too participating n my first comic panel (sticking to panels, no time for strips) is up, so any comments....

Fair to Middling

Not as great as I would like (as usual) but what has been written is okay. Spent much of the last fortnight reading the last Harry Potter book, and The Golden Compass (before the sure-to-be-lobotomised movie version comes out). Enjoyed the former, loved the latter, and didn't really want to write too much while I was blazing through them.

Spent a surprising amount of time writing a blog post about Indian Cable TV as I remember it, and ended up with a gargantuan post that should be a series if I ever finish it.

Finished up the last dregs of calendar work, and am now in a mad dash to clean up the house for impending visitors at the end of the month (yes, it's that dirty). Did a few crappy sketchies that I may post up.

Should get back into writing. I tell you, this Philip Pullman dude's writing style is getting to me (not a bad thing).

Also saw Beowulf. More on that later.

Sooooooooooo hows it going?

comics + school + work = hard!

The Continuing Adventures of Dracunerd

Vishal — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 00:11:02 -0700

I think I had considered an ongoing Dracunerd comic ever since that first sketch last year, and Comic Konga! seemed to be the perfect time to try it (and other) ideas out. Well, the others didn't work out (I'm just not skilled enough at drawing for some of them yet), but I'm glad I did at least one Dracunerd. There will be more in the future.

And now that I know he resembles your boyfriend, the character's jaw and cheekbones are never going to change!

YAY!

Spyder — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 09:50:51 -0700

YAY! DUGONG!

DUGONGDUGONGDUGONGDUGONGDUGONGDUGONGDUGONGDUGONG!!!!

Gollum was cute the way bullfrogs are cute

Aishwarya — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 03:10:25 -0700

Disturbingly enough, the person I am reminded of is my boyfriend. Who is, I hasten to add, neither green nor fanged, and is in fact very attractive. It's just the cheekbones and the jaw.

(Also, I am not that hairy.)

You must draw more dracunerd.

iSlackwritertron sounds

Maija — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 22:16:25 -0700

iSlackwritertron sounds cool, since it has the word tron in it.

I have no idea what story you are talking about. XD This must be for fantasybits, that would explain it.

Hey, now I remembered. Yeah, it was for Fantasybits. And I think it was wolf-like. Would check, but must go to work now.

PeeeHAICHpee!

Having had a miniscule but torturous bit of php wrangling to do on this site's redesign (such as getting the 'journal' graphic to show up only on journal pages, which must be child's play to people who actually know php), I fully sympathise with your plight and do not in the least mind.

All of us are busy working this week, it seems (okay, my work has piled up mostly because of my own fault), and that does take priority.

Since we have no huge rules you're welcome to try your hand at it when you have some free time. Samir's doing his Tuesday to Saturday (he's building a multiligual community website, and I don't envy him in the least). I've been drawing a Dugong, among other things. We've been working throughout today and are a bit brain-fatigued, so we haven't done a Thursday comic. I may post them both tomorrow or go on until Saturday.

I you like you can even prepare some kickass stuff and wait until the next Comic Konga (I think mid-January, after all the 'holiday madness' has subsided will be a good time) to post them.

I haven't started writing on my non-nano nano (I think I should come up with a name and a crappy logo for it. ¡SLACKWRITERTRON! or something). Do you remember that story you once wrote about the kid who turns into a huge bear-like beast (I'm probably remembering this wrong). Something like that would be niiice :)

Dracunerd you sonvagun

Vishal — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 15:45:40 -0700

Adorable -- yes! I hoped the drawing would come off as somewhat endearing (I didn't want him to look hideous like he did in the old sketch). But adorable... wow, now you're entering Gollum territory and scaring me.

By this I mean that I was slightly disturbed that women (in this case, the group sitting in front of me in the cinema) found Gollum in the LOTR movies adorable. "He's so CUUUUUUUTE!" one of them shrieked with sincerity.

Shivers.

...But familiar, you say? Who? Who it is? Tell me I say. Honestly, I don't quite know who he resembles -- I didn't intentionally base him on anybody.
