Working hard~

Hi all :D

I haven't uploading much for a while, and when I do it's fairly spartan. (Madness?- *slaps self*) But I want to let you all know that I am currently busy drawing :D Quite a lot, infact! I've only uploaded up to Page 72 of Dirge, although I currently have up to Page 79 drawn in one way or another. 78 and 79 are currently just rough plans (the first time I've planned before drawing a page o_o but that's mainly because I was on a long car journey at the time with nothing but scrap paper and a biro :XD:) but 73 should be ready soon...

I'm still struggling with whether or not to colour these new pages... production will go a lot faster if I don't, but I have no idea just how clear things will be to you, the viewer. Colours play a big part in character identity with this simple style, so i wonder just how well it will survive without. I really need some feedback on this, so please leave your opinion in the comments!

My biggest project right now was given to me as a challenge by my long-distance Onee-sama, ~JennyGodin, to draw a combination of all my characters! Anyone that's seen my gallery will know that's quite a list, so I've decided to make it an A3-sized project based on Dirge. I'll be getting all the well-known (... to me, anyway >_> ) characters in there, as well as some lesser-known ones too... expect some premiere appearances! :D
I estimate I have around 50+ original characters connected to this story (which was kinda dumb on my part... I need to strengthen the core cast, rather than keep on making new ones... It's the Heroes-effect: grand ideas that I just can't keep up with), but I certainly can't fit quite that many on, considering how much space has already been taken up... so expect something more around 20. Still, it's probably the biggest project I've ever undertaken, so it will take me a while, even without procrastination!

Not only that, but I'm still trying to make my cosplay for the London Expo. It's my first ever self-made costume, and the first time I've ever made clothing for that matter, so it's quite a challenge! Under a month left and I haven't even begun on the real thing, just practicing on a mock-up. I certainly won't have all the accessories ready, but I might be able to go in the costume on its own... so wish me luck o_o; I'll need it.

I don't really know what else to put. Still have over 350 deviations to sort through D: Please be patient... and I'd love to hear back from you, so please comment ^.^ Take care!

Ever wondered what the heck Dirge is all about? Wanted to know what inspired me to start or why people can do what they do?

Well, now is your chance to ask me, the creator, absolutely anything you like about Dirge: Chronicles of Midghar!

As there have never been any frequently asked questions before this will be blank until someone asks some, so please, if you want to know anything or just want to annoy me with multitudes of questions, ask away!

Moving On... Meme Time!

So I'm feeling like it's time to do some fan-service. It's been quite a while since I've done fanart (although I am doing some right now for a friend, but it's taking me forever -.-), and I thought that for a change it should be YOU, my viewers, who get to decide what I draw.

So, I'm going to do a Meme. Although I don't know if you would call it a meme, since I'm kinda making it up right now. Never the less, this is how it goes: There are 5 spots (taking it easy to begin with), and for each spot I want one male character from any anime/manga/OVA/movie that you like. The twist? I'll be making them into girls! I'm going to list a few to begin with to give you an idea:

Uzumaki Naruto (Naruto)
^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^ (:Shippuuden)
Note that since Naruto HAS a girl form, this will be an alternate, unrelated style. NOT his 'sexy no jutsu'.
Uchiha Sasuke (Naruto)
^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ (:Shippuuden)
Kurosaki Ichigo (Bleach - Human)
^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^ (Bleach - Shinigami Uniform)
Tachikoma (Ghost in the Shell: Stand-Along Complex)
Yes, I will be doing non-human characters too, like robots or anything that has a human personality, this can include things that are already female but don't look it. (So not just animals or objects)
Kurogane (Tsubasa Chronicles - Normal) *smirk*
^^ ^^ ^ (Tsubasa Chronicles - xxxx World)
Ryuk (DeathNote) *shiver*

I think you get the idea.
So, there are five places open. The first five people to give me ONE name will be accepted (unless the character doesn't fit the criteria), and if I don't get five then I'll reply to people who did and let them choose another (or choose another of their suggestions if they gave more). If no one replies, then I'll choose my own.

Please tell me if you want it to be a normal drawing (see my gallery) or a chibi (I'll try my best...), also if the costume is not the character's usual, please try to link me a picture.

I think that's about it.... I don't want to get personal today. Check out my newly uploaded photographs if you haven't already :)

Return of the Adventurer

Wed Jul 29, 2009, 10:44 AM
  • Mood: Worried
So, I'm back from my holiday to Spain. It didn't go very well. The whole reason I went was to meet ~GoneByTwilight, although that never happened. After being busy for almost the whole first week, she then completely went silent. Even now (an month later) I cannot contact her, and I'm extremely worried for her safety.

Besides that, I now have over 600 deviations waiting to be looked at. Why do I watch so many people? _-_
One good side to the holiday was that I had a lot of time to draw - almost filled a drawer's notepad from scratch, no less. These are only pencil and small, but there is some good stuff in there, which I shall try to get to you pronto. Also, I recently had the urge to ink, so now I have some older "proper" pictures ready to come your way (not coloured, but you should be used to that by now, lol).

In other news, I now have Left 4 Dead on Steam if anyone wants to play. I also have Team Fortress 2 and Counter-Strike, so tell me your username and we'll play some time :D

I got WANTED: Weapons of Fate on Sunday, for the 360. I finished it in 3 hours o_o; Still though, it's a really fun game to play, albeit short.
Bending bullets is epic :iconimhappyplz:

I'm also currently re-subscribed to City of Heroes/Villains, if anyone here plays on the US servers. My global chat is @ShurikenBlade, so send me an email or something :)

I'll try to upload some stuff today, so I'll go and do that now! Thanks for reading :D xxx
