In other news, my last day here at SCAD is this Thursday. I should be back home by Saturday where I can sleep until someone calls me about giving me a job. Fingers crossed!

I hope you all enjoy the comic so far and please leave me some feedback so I can keep working to make it the best that I can!

Thank you all,

and Stay Steamy!

Work and Loot

I have been working on homework since noon today (it's about 8pm now) and I am tuckered out to say the least.
First is my loot from Artist Alley today:


My copy of the new Shoujo Phonebook Anthology and a Rosen Maiden keychain.


Here is the Toph print I got from Zimmay

I also spent about 4 hours working on my tight roughs for my Drawing for Sequential project. It's meant to be the Washington Arch in Manhattan. The teacher gave me a photo of it but I had to draw it in a different view. I only looked up other photos for details of the statues and the top of the arch (because the photo was so fuzzy). I really like how it turned out and I'm so happy that it's done for now.


More work on Clockwork Queen tomorrow. Also gotta figure out what to write for my Survey of Sequential Thesis.
*faints*

Production Sketches

A teaser photo of the first batch of character sketches for CWQ have just been posted on DA, right here! I will scan them individually later (after working on Drawing for Sequential homework).

I also went to Shoujo Phonebook club's Artist Alley today. Lilly had her table set up and I bought a print from Zimmay. I also picked up a copy of SPB's anthology and got Lilly to sign her comic in it. I'll post a photo of my loot later. Gotta get to work on Drawing homework, then back to work on CWQ sub packet.

Stay Steamy!

It begins....

Today I have begun writing a rough draft of the first script for Clockwork Queen. It wont' be a full script yet as I don't have time to do that right now (before school ends) so I'll just get as much of it done as I can. I also have to make sure to have the first five pages of it done perfectly so I can finish the first five comic pages for my submissions packets. I think to save time I will do it on my smaller Maxon paper and print it on printer paper for the packets. I do love using that paper...



Here is a WIP shot of the CWQ gang getting a mission brief from Samantha. I plan on using this as part of my submissions packet. I have some mistakes in it to correct however, before I ink it.
So the work is happening! I'll keep updating till the submissions packets are done.
Excitement!

Artist Alley is also this week. I'll be giving a friend of mine a visit as she is selling bookmarks there. Hopefully I can score some cool comics while I'm there :D I love seeing what my fellow students are up to comic-wise.

I'll keep you updated! Until then,
Stay Steamy!

PROGRESS, IT DOES HAPPEN!

Big news for Clockwork Queen!

For my final project for Comic Book Scripting class, we have to prepare a submissions packet to send out to a publisher (or two). I've decided to send out Clockwork Queen and see how she does. This means... PROGRESS IS HAPPENING! I've already started some production art, and writing for it. Let's hope I can get it all done by the 26th of May ;D I'm so excited!

I'll be sure to keep you updated here.

Stay Steamy!

Comic update

Gosh CWQ is so neglected ;_;

School has been really busy (as usual) but it's paying off because I made the Dean's list for the Winter 08 quarter! :D And I'm hoping to do it again this quarter so I've been very busy with work for classes and putting together a portfolio for editor's day next month; which includes a little practice doodle that turned into a comic page for Clockwork Queen as seen here. Sorry for the watermarking but I recently felt it necessary to do so.
Samantha is giving Millie 'The Talk' about Men, while Mick is doing the same for Cole. I plan to finish this out in a few pages following the same two sided, top/bottom format as this page is.

I'm currently working on a one page illustration of the crew looking over some maps on the kitchen table of the Amelia (the airship of Mick and Samantha). I would take a photo but my camera batteries have died and I cant' find the thingy to recharge them :< But I'll post it on DA and link it here when its' done.

Clockwork Queen trudges onward!
Have a good week, and STAY STEAMY!

Madonna and Child Painting- WIP

Hello all!
This update is about a painting that I had in my head and have finally started today. It is the robot of Sara Winters, and a robot baby, posing like the many "Madonna and Child" paintings (I've seen so many in my Survey of Western Art II class that they stuck in my head). This will accompany my Clockwork Queen comic, maybe as back cover. One day.



I haven't gotten to do a lot of work on the comic itself so it's nice to be able to work on this. School has been taking over my weekends. But I did get some new comic book paper (manga paper actually) but I really like working with it so I'm hoping to at least get some layout pages done. It's smaller than the usual 11x17 inches, this stuff is A4 sized. I prefer working on a smaller scale. So hopefully I'll have some pages done by the end of the quarter, but I'm not totally counting on it. Unfortunately school comes first then fun art. I'm trying to get all A's this quarter, and the next (I managed to snag all sequential classes! so happy!) so I can get into the honors program at VCU when I transfer next fall. Ugghh *dies*
