Today, I have an email that I must share with you fellow artists, simply can’t keep it to myself, it’s that good.

Hi there, Ive gone to your site, and really love it, i also plan on buying your works, but, i have a question, are you willing to commision? I normally pay $0.25 a page, plus at LEAST 50% of the prophet [sic], if you are able to exicute [sic] the story as needed, it can get up to 70% the story IS provided, you
just illustrate, if you do this, i can be shown on your site, along with mine, and can be purchased through either site, and hopefully, ill be able to sell the books to stores.

THIS IS NEGOTIABLE! im very understanding, as well as lazy, this is why i
dont do it myself.

Think it over, and mail me ASAP, thank you.

-Dan

0.25$ a page.

0.25!!!

I’m not sure whether to laugh or cry, my initial reaction was to reply ‘to be frank, your page rate is downright insulting, I hope you didn’t offer this to anyone else, that would discourage even the most amateur artist to abandon drawing comic and just work in mcdonald instead. you mother fucking bastard’

but I sent sweeter, more polite version instead.

Jesus, the nerves of people =.=

I just read Deathnote today. 4 issues tho there’s already 10 issues available, I knew it came out ages ago, it was published here in Thailand about the same time it was published in Japan, but, well, I haven’t bought any new manga for ages, can’t fault me :D

I didn’t like it at first to be honest, I detest characters that are too perfect, and you can’t deny that two main characters are so perfect it’s almost comical. but after reading a while, I sort of get used to it, it was indeed fun and I can see why it is so popular, but the one point that nag me (besides superperfect characters) is that, there’s too much conversation, not enough action T^T all they did was talking, it’s almost like MMR, all they did was talking, discussing, debating, and they did scary face with thunder background when they think they have reached conclusion, funny stuff.

I like the art very much tho, but I have a feeling that the artist wouldn’t draw any hardcore fighting scene anytime soon, hikaru no go and now this, pity.

ps. to lj user zephranthes: apparently, the manga I mentioned that also drawn by this mangaka is called ‘Karakurizoshi Ayatsuri Sakon’ ( according to wikipedia, I just remembered the puppet is called Sakon XD) maybe you can find it.

Clarence is done.

all 200 pages of it.

There’s still some resizing and text editing to be done, but, that isn’t really an issue, I could do that with eye close, the real work is done.

and it’s so quiet.

I’ve been working on this comic for so long I can’t actually remember when I started. I kinda expect that, once I’m done, the volcano would erupt, meteor strikes, fanfare or maybe bells and whistles.

but it’s pretty darn quiet.

and I like it.

I had never used ebay before, it seems rather scary that you had to just trust that a total stranger will not just take your money and run away or screw you in one way or another. But I gave in a few days ago and ordered two things. (very much on a whim, but let’s not talk about that) and my paranoia is working overtime now.

anyone else feels that ebaying is like playing russian roulette? or is it just me? O_O

I do love pentel color brush pen (the cheap 5$ one), but biggest grief about it is that, it has totally unsteady ink flow, it’s either too much or too little. I spent most of my inking time working off excessive ink, usually it was just mindless scratching, but sometimes it gets a bit more elaborated.

in this one, you can see how the ink started with new pen, the lighter color line (the face area) was a result from ink mixed with oil in the tip of new pen, it takes a while to work that off, ink from first few strokes usually too diluted to use, need to work that off until the stroke looks reasonably black :3what’s better thing to work off excessive ink with than bishie? :D

It’s a sad day in MMO history T^T

I just *alpha* tested **THE** MMO that I have been waiting for YEARS. Due to it being in alpha state, I shall not name the name just yet, but let’s say, it’s based on a very famous fantasy novel, which was made into trilogy movies a while ago, enough hint?

my opinion? : IT SUCKS.

now, before you said it’s just alpha test and we should give it time to adjust, well, it’s too late now, cos it sucks at the principle, the basic level, the very foundation of the game.

The graphic sucks.

First, the design, I’m stereotyping here, pardon me, but geeez, hire off-shore korean/chinese graphic artists if you can’t hire local quality artists! >< the design sucks, the 3d model looks like standard poser model, the texture color tone are all dull and everything is so brown. The Design sucks BIG time. the starting armor and weapon is so dull and fugly which surprised me since they have solid based materials to work on.

They broke #1 human body design rule: don’t make torso longer than thigh, it just looks retard.

AND must *certain race* be fat?? last time I checked, not everybody from that race is fat, in fact, the most well-known one is very CUTE and right proportioned.

again, they broke the #1 rule.

Gimmick character customization.

This kind of ‘customization’ was used in a few western MMO, most noticeably Everquest, and it sucks then, it still sucks now. The kind that let you change countless style of eyes, noses, mouth, eyes color, hair.. but sadly, these option are, more often than not, too subtle and not very much different from one another, and most of the time, you cannot see the different at all in the game, everyone ending up looking the same. Instead of having countless similar options, it’s better to have a few, but more distinctive options. (hate to say this, but WoW almost has it right)

This kind of customization only give users a false sense of options, it’s really nothing but a misuse of polygon count and data.

The misuse of polygon count is not only on characters models, but backgrounds as well, they really need to optimized their models big time ><

Now, if you just called me graphic whore and you don’t care for those points I made (and you can’t tell the different between stick figure and Boris Vallejo’s works) I have some good news for you.

The gameplay sucks too :D

UI is nothing special to talk about, very standard, which could be good or bad. There is no option for point and click, I understand that most western kids don’t like point and click, but there’s people that do, it should be an option. Animation is slow and awkward. everybody walking/running funny. The battle is very cumbersome, It’s just slow.. and, well, awkward. You just don’t feel the impact when your character attack at all. it doesn’t look like you are attacking the target. There’s no necessarily flashy effects, even the damage numbers were popping up in slow motion, go figure.

spawn rate sucks, and this is the noob area which spawn rate shouldn’t be a problem, yet I spent most of the time just looking/waiting for the next target. hard to tell the different between npc and player and mobs, no different between building that you can enter and building that you can not.

did I mention the battle sucks?

It’s too late to change any principle graphic now, the best they can do is overhaul the battle system, tighten it up and make it actually PLAYABLE.

not that I am going to play it, not in a million years. my verdict is that, it’s going to be the new SWG, going straight to the bottom of MMO hell where everquest, earth & beyond and The matrix online reside.
