Personal Update: A Lesson Learned From a 2 Year Old.

This weekend my Niece brought her boyfriend, son and her mother over so that her son could see all the trains that I have running in the house. This photo was taken by her mother in our basement. I had been sitting at the computer all morning before they arrived and was a little worn out. It was fun to see everything through the "fresh eyes" of a 2 year old. After they left town I went back down stairs, started up the trains and just stared at the table again and for just a while watched the trains go round and round...a good lesson taught by a 2 year old, thanks Gabriel.

Flanedor Update 4/14/13

I think I have gotten the system down in the last couple of days, I have drawn and ink more in the last 3 days than I think I have in the last 3 weeks. I manage to in all of LAST weeks panels as well as Thursday thru today I have drawn pages 26 through 32. The 2 others that I have shown the roughs to have said that it is better than most of the work to date. I'll put the pencil works below.

 I was also invited to do a little plug for Falendor for Casey's Podcast, "The Department of Offense" at Blindninjastudios.com. Thanks Casey, it was fun. You can find the interview at my site cartoonsbysketch.com. Let me know if it works for you, some have had problems.

For the rest of this week I am going to be doing the inking, the last penciling and some ad work for the comic, wish me luck.

Falendor Update 4/7/13

My weekend has FLOWN by but I did manage to get pages 8, 9, 10, and 11 penciled

 

 

(These first two I redid because I didn't like the way that the fairy turned out so I redid the character setup and in the process we renamed her..."Ella Kalen" in Saxon & Celtic, as far as I can tell from the translations, is it means "little warrior" or "angelic trouble" I thought it was perfect. )

and then I managed to get pages 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 inked! The one thing I can promise is that this work is more detailed than all the work I have done before. Now? Now it's time for me to go spend the rest of my Sunday Night with my wife.

Falendor Update 4/2

This weekend I finnished up penciling one of the stories and then turned around and finished inking them as well. Here are some of the pencils.

 

  

This morning I started penciling yet another story and will be finishing up inking them later this week. I have kicked it into overdrive and am frantically trying to get this all set up and working...in between bus routes!
