“Hey, guys, I always forget that I can do voice posts, and then remember that I can do voice posts and then sometimes actually do a voice post so here's a voice post! Umm. I am totally doing this because I'm procrastinating finishing up a Dracula update which will go online today, uh, in a couple hours, probably, and uh, 'cause I woke up an hour ago. I need an alarm clock. I need an alarm clock so bad, 'cause it's overcast here a lot and I wake up late because I'm waiting for the sun to like wake me up and it doesn't. And it rains---it's awesome here, the weather is awesome here, but it is making it hard for me to wake up on time. I'm used to waking up pretty early, and that's not happening, and it's weirding me out, so high order of business is acquiring an alarm clock. Uhh. Also drawing pictures, getting myself caught up, it's all good, I just keep drawing. I'm having a little trouble settling in, into my uh, work routine, and that's obvious, and no one cares because you get pictures. Pictures everywhere. Oh my god. Sooo everything's fine. And uh I gotta work on my Dracula page at some point because I don't remember what button to press to make the voice post stop, so I will hit the pound key. #~”

Here’s some of the art I’ve finished up!
Right now, I need to finish up the Draw or Die and Poker Tournament prize badges from the con, and am working on the big post for Icon and Ekwara Day - it will go up in the next few days. I need to finish up one other sketch from Furfright, and finish coloring two commissions. When I get more of my stuff mailed out to me, I can get back to work on the big painting. I’m very close to being at the bottom of my commission list, right now, and am working on some really fun new ideas I’ll tell you guys about soon. If you want something for December, this is a good time to get in on the list!
Tomorrow, I’ll have another art update, and maybe tarot deck info! :)

Page 316, the start of Chapter 9, of Dracula is up - go check out last week's reader funded 8 page update, if you haven't yet - http://www.draculacomic.net
Page 11 of Ekwara is up - http://www.ekwara.com
If you'd like to tip for either of these comics, include a note with your tip letting me know which one you'd like me to count the tip toward, so I can mark it on the tally for Dracula Day or Ekwara Day.
Page 65 of Crimson flag is up - http://www.crimsonflagcomic.net
And there's a new chapter of Arcadia Snips every Monday - http://www.arcadiasnips.com

I've gotten a ton of badges done, and am using the weekend to get as caught up as I can. I will have a ton of stuff to post, Monday night.

Hey guys! I have internet, now! Dracula Day happened for last week's update, and if you haven't checked it out, yet, you can go see 8 new pages and the end of Chapter 8! Hurray!

Please bear with me while I get myself caught up. I'll get it all done but my schedule might be unpredictable for a few more days.

I still don't have internet set up in the apartment, but we should hopefully have that soon. I'm settling in well, otherwise. It's very pretty here, and everyone is very friendly. I have a new scanner/printer that works like a dream. It takes it all of ten seconds to scan something, and -well-. Plus, I can print stuff out. Not just necessary things, but stuff for fun. SO NOVEL! I am wasting a lot of paper ;P I got my mac laptop back from Hats, and it's running a lot better than my pc laptop, so I'm going to gradually switch back to using this one.

I'm getting back to work - I have a couple commissions, badges from Furfright, and Icon/Ekwara day to finish up. Dracula Day is probably going to be this Thursday, so I can have all those pages for Friday's update. Once I'm caught up, I'd like to use [info]haikujaguar's suggestion and do Griffon Day. I'll have space for holiday commissions once I'm caught up, too. PLUS THE TAROT DECK WILL BE TAKING PREORDERS SOON ZOMG! I just need a week or so to get my ducks in a row and my internet up and running. Bear with me!

I'm sitting in an awesome coffee shop called "The Woods" here in Bellingham. I'm not adjusted to the time difference, yet, and daylight savings time is not helping. I keep waking up at 6 am. I will likely adjust better once there are people living with me and I have furniture and am working and stuff.

There are a ton of birds out here. In my early morning wanderings, I've seen red tailed hawks, crows, a raven, a great blue heron, chickadees and sparrows, that I recognized. I need a book of birds in the region so I can identify what I'm seeing. I missed seeing chickadees. They are such dear little birds :3 There are also a ton of little snails. I love them. I also saw all the spider webs covered in dew. So neat! There are perfect little spiderwebs everywhere, in the grass and bushes.

Anyway, I'll be back for real, soon, and in the meantime, go play outside and tell me what birds you see!

I'm heading out the door in four hours. I don't know when I'll have internet hooked up in the new apartment, but I'll be buying a new scanner when I'm out there, and uploading comics from a coffee shop on Friday or Saturday. See you guys in a few days.

My roommate's brother is having a contest on his blog. Dress up your computer for Halloween! No prize, but looks like a fun idea :D http://glenholdampf.dynalias.com/contests/halloween09

I finally got done listing my stuff up on craigslist, and I may have already sold my bike. WOOSH.

All right!  I’m back from a great time at Furfright, and recovering from a cold I picked up while I was there.  I’m on the final stretch of getting ready to move to Washington, and wanted to give you guys an update and a chance to snag some stuff if you’re interested in some art.

First things first, an update on Icon Day! I’m going to be working on these while I get ready for my move, and we’ll see if they go up before or after I get on the airplane. If I take any new commissions, they will be on hold until I am caught up and in Bellingham (in other words, for completion by December. Wow, almost December already?!), but if you are waiting, fear not! You are on my list and I am working on your art!

Dracula reached 100 dollars in donations, so I will be doing a Dracula Day - a full day’s work spent making as many Dracula pages as I can manage. I might be able to do this before Halloween, but if not, it will be shortly after! I’ll let you guys know the exact day once I have it scheduled. Moving is pretty crazy!

Here’s the cover I did for the Furfright convention book!  This sold in the charity auction to benefit a group dedicated to helping and remembering military service dogs.

So, our apartment fell through, but I think I know why, and we might be able to get that straightened out, tomorrow afternoon. We shall see! If not, now we have all of our information ready to go find another place.

I am pretty stressed out about it right now, though, and I can't concentrate on getting Dracula's update finished. Since the comic technically updates Saturdays, I'm going to update it on... Saturday, likely late morning or early afternoon.

I did manage to get a fair amount done, today. I will upload sketches and badges and whatnot tomorrow, when I get the comic up. I need to go take care of myself and not let stress get to me, right now, because really, everything is fine.

I uploaded my 24 hour comic to Ekwara for the update, so you fine folks have seen that already. There's a new chapter up on http://www.arcadiasnips.com this Monday, too. Crimson Flag will be updating later tonight - http://www.crimsonflagcomic.com

Anyway, I'll get stuff online soon. Thanks for being cool, guys :)

I've been pretty quiet, but working pretty hard, so it evens out! Tonight, I'm going to scan a bunch of things for you to see.
I'm going to try to finish penciling all the icons for Icon Day, tomorrow, and from there, I can ink 'em and get 'em done!
I have some sketches for commissions in progress that are going to be awesome. I'm working on getting those colored, now.
I've at least penciled 100 stickers for the con. Some of them are also inked and colored
Art cards for the con are in progress. Bookmarks for the con are in progress.
Most of my furfright badge pre-orders are done. I'm going to get those scanned tonight, too.
Putting the finishing touches on a logo.
aaaaand getting a comic update together, for tonight.
I have the next few days' work cut out for me! Woosh.

I'm attempting at a 24 hour comic, with the clock started at 12 PM, EST. I've attempted this four times in the past, and been successful on my most recent attempt, which was... three years ago (I'd said five last night, but had my timeline tangled), I think. The comic doesn't make much sense - partially intentional, partially due to too much caffeine/not enough sleep - http://ninjahijinx.com/?page_id=7&file=kitty%2F

Anyway, I have several ideas I could choose to follow, for this attempt. I am having a little trouble narrowing my sights down to commit to any particular one, but I'm sure whichever I pick will be a fun ride. ETA - I have picked an idea. This will be an Ekwara story!

I'm going to scan each page as it's completed, and post them behind a cut on this entry for you to see. I'm also going to post links to each page as I finish, on my twitter, if you feel like watching a live account of my progress - http://www.twitter.com/formidonis

24/24 pages )

Quick note RE: Icon Day, I'm going to have a ton of time to move forward with that this coming week, so I'm aiming for another update at some point, maybe Friday or next Saturday! Stay tuned. NOW I DRAW COMIC!

[info]haikujaguar is looking for 100 people to request/show their support for the publication of her novel. I am really looking forward to reading this, and a lot of other people are, too - the post has only been up for a few hours, and she's already halfway there. Check it out! http://haikujaguar.livejournal.com/713688.html
