New Comic Idea Approaches

(This is pretty neat, seems I can have a cool little thumbnail link to my deviantArt images in LJ.)

Anyway, working on a new comic idea. Not a webcomic persay, but more along the lines of a short graphic novel kind of thing. Got a lot of ideas for stuff after reading Scott McCloud's "Understanding Comics." I definitely understand comics a lot better, and now how some ideas how to put that into good use. I'm currently trying to read his other book "Making Comics," but haven't had a chance to get much into due to Grad school work, and by Grad school work I mean playing the game of Life, going to the board game store with the Professor, and reading Tarzan of the Apes, also doing a little flash animation as well.

I'm hoping I can have the comic done by the end of '08. That may be a lofty goal, but its going to be somewhere between 20-50 pages so I don't think it will be. Well maybe if it leans more toward the later one. I'm not going to say much on it, since I'm not sure its possible to explain correctly (at least I've had some trouble the few people I have told about it,) but I will say that it's all based around Karen up there in the image, and I've basically been refering to it as the "Video game store girl comic." So that may give you an idea as to what to expect.

The sky here is different

August 27th, 2008 (08:38 pm)

There is something seriously different about the sky here in Rochester. I don't know what it is, but it's very different from it looks in NJ, and even in Syracuse I don't remember it being like this either. It's especially cool at sunset. Tonight it was really cool so I took some pictures.


I'll try an take some more pictures of other cool sunsets and cool whatnots.

Moving

August 21st, 2008 (07:56 pm)

Moving up to grad school tomorrow. Not looking forward to unloading everything and unpacking. I realize now that I have way too much stuff, but a lot of it is stuff I need (electronics, books, computer/console stuff, etc.) I really hope there is an elevator.

But anyway I'm sitting in my room kind of bored since everything is packed. I have no desktop, or TV, so I'm just sort of stuck here on my laptop typing. I might try drawing some, I probably should, but who knows if I'll end up doing it.

Anyway, sorry for this post. I really have nothing better to do.

Driving all over the place

Seems like I've been driving all over the place lately. 3 hours to Hartford for Connecticon, another 3 to Baltimore for Otakon, and then 6 hours to Rochester. Good thing I got new tires before all this.

I'm still up in Rochester, but I managed to get myself an apartment, which was the whole point of the trip. I have a bedroom in a 2 bedroom. I wasn't really big on the idea of having to share a place (especially considering that there are 2 people living in the other room,) but I get my own bathroom, its really close to campus, and everything is covered in the rent. So if my roommates turn out to be cool, great. If they don't, then oh well. It's a good enough deal that it doesn't matter.

Then I have to drive back up here next Friday to move in. My poor car.

And FYI Bawls Guarana Cherry is weak. Tastes kind of like Cherry Ramune.

Also FYI DogTown is awesome. Grated Parmesan and Bruschetta on a hot dog? Brilliant!

Connecticon 08

August 5th, 2008 (05:26 pm)

I wrote a post over at One Gamer's Opinion about Connecticon this year, but I wanted to post some pictures here anyway since they don't really go in my flickr and don't really fit there.


Aside from all that I finally got to meet [info]casual_kitten who I've been talking to online for about 5 years or so. So it was great to finally meet her, unfortunately she was so busy drawing commissions at her table for me to get one myself. Oh well.

And I should also mention that on Friday I found out that I was accepted into Grad school. So I'll be starting that in less then a month, and between now and then I have to find an apartment and move into it. Should be an interesting month to say the least.

Been a while

Wow, it's been a while since I posted. It's been busy the last (almost) two months. Taking a summer class up in Newark, so taking the train twice a week. Which isn't so bad in the morning, but I usually end up catching the 6pm home, and there are some many people its ridiculous.

In other news my C drive died Saturday morning. I got a replacement for it Tuesday, but my Windows XP CD is apparently beyond repair. It loads it, but then doesn't think its a Windows CD.... it's weird. So I went out to Best Buy that night and bought a copy of Vista, and I have to say I'm really liking it so far. It was probably the easiest Windows install I've ever done.

While it was installing I watched the new Futurama movie, Beast with a Million Backs. It was good. Not as good as the first one, but I think that's because it seemed more like a really long episode then a movie. It's also kind of weird...

I also bought a camera on Newegg since they were having some sort of crazy sale. I'm hoping to take some pictures with it (obviously its a camera.) I've started to notice that day to day sometimes I see some cool stuff that would make a great picture, but then I don't have a camera with me. So my hope is to start getting pictures of that stuff... so far I always seem to forget it on days I see cool stuff.
