Lack of Update and slow progress on Blue Fire

It's been a really long time. I haven't been uploading any sketches or content, because all of my time has been devoted to the first pages of the first chapter of "Blue Fire".

I'm going through some personal conflict of wondering if comic/manhwa/manga making is something I'll stick with, or suited for. I've been so used to making fan-comics, that I wonder if I can really do this for the rest of my life. I'm thinking of trying some other small projects.

Beeswhacks still updating bi-weekly (every other week). Still working on that Pixel Brains short. Now I feel that I need to try and make at least one original sketch or drawing every week. At least something to put on my blog. It's been 2 months of inactivity, yet I post gratuitous fanart and sketches on my tumblr and occasionally my tumblr. In fact, I've been posting work-in-progress images of the "Blue Fire" pages on my instagram.

Also, a little update on why the Pixel Brains short is STILL taking too dang long.

Here's to hopefully more updates for the rest of this year.

Another Road block and Small Doodle dump Nov 3-8 2015

Not much. Sadly.
It's strange, now that "Sugar Dominion" no longer ties me down. That means I can concentrate on other personal projects. But it's looking daunting, especially choosing. I don't know if I'll be able to tackle it. Afraid of failing. Afraid that my work will not get any recognition. Being forever invisible in the sea of other wonderful content. No one has even commented on "Sugar Dominion" much. And that's a bit disheartening.
I can't seem to make up my mind on what I should prioritize on.
Should I continue working towards the story "Blue Fire"?
Or tackle "Eruti" first? Or should I be creating that portfolio I've put off?
I try to see which one I'm more passionate about. And sadly, I can't seem to be as enthusiastic about them as I am when drawing fanart. But that doesn't sit well with me, building myself based on only fanart and fan stuff. It's as if I have no originality at all.

Sorry if this has become a personal vent blog. This first week was quite confusing.
For now, I'm going to aim for finishing the outline and story for Blue Fire, so that way I can actually have a webcomic to look forward to. Or, maybe a comic-prose.
In the meanwhile, not many sketches.

First one is where I decided to start working on "Blue Fire." I have found the perfect soundtrack to listen to; the soundtrack from the historic kdrama "Gunman in Joseon." This was me still trying to get YeoungHy's vigilante look. I had to see what the common portrayal of Hong Gil Dong was. Hong Gil Dong is an old fictional character in Korean legends. You can say he's a Korean Robin Hood.

Today, or should I say yesterday, my family and my church went to Tallulah Gorge Park. The view was great (as well as the food). I got a chance to sketch a bit.

 This is the new header I made for my tumblr. It only shows up when you view it in the app or smartphone. I had to throw in my original characters, though 3 figures are NOT mine. 1 of them, is the reason why I'm not getting any original stuff done (because his existence has sparked a craze of fanart I desperately want to draw). The other 2 are my favorite "let's players", the Pixel Brains ^^

Speaking of Pixel Brains, I'm STILL not giving up on the current "Left 4 Dead 2" animated short. I'm happy to say that I"m done with the rough pencil test. And am ready to do backgrounds, inking, coloring...still a lot of work.

Drawlloween 2015 over, and Sugar Dominion Complete

Title says it all.
First off, I'm happy to say that the manga short "Sugar Dominion" is done. All of it is on Tapastic
A short comic that wasn't able to make it for the 2013 Shonen Jump Manga contest, is finally complete. You can click on this banner to go there.

And now for the remainder of this  year's Drawlloween. I mixed it in with a bit of Inktober, but this really is exhausting. My right hand has been acting up again, though it's not as painful as the first time. This however sucked a lot of time and sleep from me. I almost didn't finish Sugar Dominion because of this. Though it wasn't completely finished for October, I managed. You can obviously see a lot of fanart crossing over with some of my original characters. This was a good opportunity, and kind of fun.


Now that means...I can continue to move on and work on other personal projects...which one to start on...
Well, that means it's time to write Blue Fire. That comic is still in writing stage, and I'm in the process of breaking chapters down for drawing.

Specialty item- final board

It's really better to look at the actual demo than the board, but it can't be helped.
I'm planning on embedding the actual demo here. But for now, see it on Deviantart

This is actually my final board. It's been quite overbearing, but fun in a bit.

Specialty item-progress

Sorry for not updating, I had another project that was due last Friday and integrated flash.
So far, I'm almost done, just a few bits of coding needed.
The website is quite interactive, so I have to make a flash demo. The menu have little icons float over them when the mouse is on top.
