Unfinished Business

As most have probably guessed, Komikon has come and gone with no independent manga released from me.

All I can show in my defense is a messy drawing table with all of my pages properly inked:

It was the tones and script that left the work undone.

I’m pretty disappointed since I was planning this since August. Unfortunately, September was very hard on me and my family… the only thing I’d like to share from that month is that I learned how to properly time IV drips, inject medicine through those drips, and adjust them if there’s a backflow. All of this and yet I’ve never studied medicine.

But as they say, “excuses, excuses!”

I’m still thinking about selling the indie in another convention… or perhaps submit it to local publishers.

For now though? I will be reviewing the pages again and see if I can improve on anything. Maybe stretch it to 24 pages this time…

Faux SS 03: Amanda

...somehow, this won't come out the way I want it to. (￣ ￣|||)

I will need to re-draw this again sometime. (＃＞＜)

Aly's New Look

And here's the star of the show..! :3~

I love how Aly turned out in this project… She’s a lot cuter and she’s grown up a little. The designs of the uniforms came out pretty well too! But I keep forgetting how the bow looks. Sometimes the ends come out completely different, and I don’t know how that even happens! Haha…

I’m so pressed for time right now that I fear I’m not going to make it for Komikon. Worse, life is happening right before me, so my focus is a little off. Let’s hope I can get my concentration back so I can finish strong..!

Reality Bites…

The highlight in the midst of my panic to finish before Komikon on November 13, 2010 lies with this right here:

I almost feel bad about making Tori the unofficial punching bag of A.illusions. If it’s any comfort to Tori, I feel exactly the same way he does… after I found out from a poll that not a lot of people are willing to buy my indie. It’s too late to back out now though? Or, to be more precise, the only way I’m backing out is if I don’t finish in time.
