Plant your hope with good seeds

Steam's having a sale so I bought This War is Mine and Deadlight. Let's see how that goes, lmao. I'm now avoiding all sales as best I can because I've spent too much money (....not on those games hahaha) and I need to stop. ;3;

I bought about six copic markers and have been informed that this is the end for me. I have a boatload of prismacolor markers but I can already tell the copics are superior. Thankfully, they can be used together so that's good (at least that's what I've been told, I haven't had time to test it out)! I look forward to drawing a lot of certain Jedis, hahaha I am obsessed. ;3;

SPEAKING OF WHICH, there's a five part miniseries comic called Obi-wan & Anakin and of course, I have the first two parts. The art is fantastic and it's a nice snippet of life for Obi-wan and Anakin. I personally would have preferred it being based more on their day to day lives as Master and Padawan but instead it's some kind of mission going on. Still, it provides some really great characterization for both men. And did I mention the art is fantastic? The artists really love Obi-wan. He constantly looks so damn majestic and almost leonine. Just wonderful.

I bought paid time for dreamwidth! Woo! Time to get some new icons.

A while back I downloaded the 30 day trial version of Manga Studio. WHOA. It's not particularly intuitive but I played around with it today and I'm beginning to understand it better. It's definitely helpful in terms of creating comics, which makes sense since that's the whole point, hahaha. This program isn't very expensive so I'll probably be buying it soon-ish. :3

So omens linked a bunch of comics on Tapastic and now I kind of want to work on a webcomic? I mean technically I'm working on a graphic novel for school but the webcomic would be for Josh and the hooded man (which most of you probably don't know but I'll be creating an original fiction filter so that you guys get to meet these characters) and that's a pretty dark, unhealthy story. I mean. The comic for school needs to be a coming of age story and I guess technically Josh's story is, in a pretty horrible kind of way. XD

Uhm, hmmm. Lineness digital painting is really difficult; I don't know what the disconnect is between traditional painting (which is lineless, of course) and digital paintings but it's giving me fits. As is speed painting, haha. Oh well. I just need to keep practicing.
