have a few questions for those of you who draw comics. I feel a little bad because my interests keep on shifting and it's most likely that I'll get bored of doing comics for something else eventually.
anyway, um. I've been puttering around with style and mediums and methods lately. I don't like how it takes so long for me to finish a page due to inefficient processes. It seems like thinking of a composition, penciling, inking, scanning, toning takes a ridiculous amount of time, sometimes taking up to 7 or 8 hours to compelte a page.
I know there are comic making programs out there as well as tutorials, but I've never come across anything that really helped, or had better functionality over photoshop. umm. are there any methods/programs that you use that would streamline the process? I don't think I want to stray from the b/w ink medium, but other people seem to be getting their pages done with less hassle and I want to know HOW. |

hi. there is a slight possibility that I may start drawing for hikago >__>
I blame this entirely on arboretum. And a small portion of blame could be partitioned on cathy for introducing me to the series in the first place.
See, I don't know if I really really like the show that much. Well, I'm sort of conflicted about the level of how much i like it. I've always respected the series as a whole in a distant sort of way, but I've never had a strong urge to read fic or to talk about the characters/dynamics to the extent that I have for other shows like iniD or gseed.
But on the other hand, I've always had this fondness for the series that doesn't seem to fade, and the older I get, the more I look at the characters as if they're my children. Like, I was recently rewatching the animated version and throughout the whole time I was thinking to myself how great it would be to have a GENIUS son with flawless skin who manages to rope in an ETERNAL RIVAL with equally or perhaps even better flawless skin. I would be the creepy mother who constantly nags at her boy to wear sexier, more revealing clothing, and have this unrelenting interest in the details and states of her son's interpersonal relationships.
aaah. vicarious living through children-dom, I await thee with open arms.
OK, de-tangenting, there are a few reasons why I hesitate to draw hikago at this moment. The first reason would be that a lot of the images that have accumulated over time in my head are in the obata style, and it has come to my awareness that I do not have the artistic proficiency to actually pull it off. Right now, I'm practicing from the comic and trying to get the style down, but it is an incredibly difficult feat. Or maybe I suck that much. Who knows!
Second reason is that I'd feel sort of bad for not going into the fandom when a lot of people put in a considerable amount of effort into nagging me in the past. It's really hard to say no to people, and it's even harder to take back the things you say, even though they probably don't care as much as you do.
Which leads me to my last point, which is that I am deathly afraid of having a Mitani pulled on me. My memory is pretty poor, but from what I can remember, a lot of my fandom experiences have been not exactly delightful, be it from having a poor attitude, or just not finding the right people. I was able to relate so well to Mitani being pumped up for the tournament, just to face the disappointment of Hikaru going on to bigger and better things, because that is sort of descriptive of parts of my fandom life. I think hikago is just one of those things I don't want ruined by bad experiences so I'll probably just try to fangirl in my own self contained sort of way.
I guess my inability to stay committed to one single thing is a pretty big problem too. Most likely everything will hinge on the first point that I made, so we'll see if anything materializes from there. The desire is there, and I would love to stretch my artistic abilities in that direction, but, I've become so finicky over the years and it really does get in the way of production. |

tbh, the subject of freedom of speech and the complexity of the ideas that surround it makes me reaaally uncomfortable. I just think my constantly shifting viewpoint tends to detract from discussion more than contribute. But I sort of find myself enjoying listening to speeches of this type of nature because of the way they're composed and delivered. |

heeey
For the past few weeks, I've been stalking my flist in a ruthless effort to absorb lives and souls. I think one of the best things about having a big flist is that there are so many different sorts of people on it and the variety is pretty interesting.
-so many of you like torchwood! also, I've seen a lot of posts about supernatural, battlestar galactica and sga. I have nooo idea if it would be wise for me to have another addiction but I'm sort of curious as to know what people are ranting about
-there are quite a few of you who like anime, and frequently rec fics and stuff
-a lot of you have super cute pets ^______________^
-a lot of you are very charitable and seem to care genuinely for the causes you are involved in
-I see a few people posting fics, but there seem to be more artists than writers
-most of the posts are about things that have happened in someone's day, on occasion, it's about something personally serious.
-I was surprised that nobody here has said anything about naruto except for chrissie. this shocks me in ways that are inconceivable because the people I chat with always seem to mention naruto in some way.
I'm sort of thinking about setting up a rl filter because right now, I have this really strong desire to just talk about things and ideas and I'd like for those who are here just for the art to be spared from it. If anyone wants in just comment? I like having a large flist, but it's sort of nice to have people to reciprocate with as well. it's sort of embarassing to read posts of someone's who's defriended you for a pretty extended period of time :x
I seriously don't know anything of what's going on, but I really want to be a better person. I really really like being cerebral, like um >__> I have a logic system for things that do not involve logic. (it's sort of a like a random function but hopefully more sophisticated!) but I think it's something that isn't necessary for me anymore when it comes to dealing with other people. I have to stop thinking people would prefer to solve their problems the way I would... ... |

it's been a pretty hard past few months, and I think it's finally getting to the point where things are settling down back to normal. There's this thing about living and people and the way systems are established so that it is reliable on the level of ensuring continued existence but it doesn't really regulate itself to do anything beyond that. (I know I don't make many friends sounding like a robot in this way xD)
I just find a lot of things really weird now. Like say for instance talking to people. Depending on the person you speak to, the goals and motivations vary based on how far and what they are willing to give. Even if you find someone who's willing to talk about complex ideas or opinions, even if you totally agree with the opinions but maybe there's something else beyond a certain idea, usually the expression of doubt is perceived as total rejection of the idea. So when you're talking to someone about something, it's not really a discussion about a certain idea for its own merits, but really just a glimpse into the thinking and belief systems of the other person. Now, I don't mind that, but ugh, I could deceive myself with less blah and more efficiency if I wanted. XD; I don't mean to sound cold, I really do think people generally have the same goals and ideas but there's such a discrepancy in communication styles and lack of perceptual depth to adjust and I'm probably the most guilty of doing that.
So yeah, I've been doing a lot of independent thinking, about people and things. I've come to terms on things that I didn't really want to be made obvious to me and things that I should or should not accept. A lot of it reminds me of GB and it's extremely strange that this story that I made up in high school would have so many overlapping elements to my personal life that happened much later on.
ps. has anyone seen johnny wier's outfit for the long program? XDXD I love it.
pps. OMG. jeff buttleeeeee *HOLDS BREATHHHHHHH* |
