New Death Note Parodies

I have made four new DeathNote parodies, and I posted three of them on my web comic page. One is for Miley Cyrus, another is Justin Beiber, another is for Tyler Perry, and the last one is for both George W. Bush and Dick Cheney.

These designs will be available soon on numerous products in my CafePress store.

Page 55 is Up But Not Not Complete & Web Comic Site Updates

I have uploaded page 55 of Zheph Skyre, but it is not quite finished. It still requires a lot more detail in the coloring. I was a little busier these past few days than I thought I would be, and with Flora coming up, I will be even more busier. However, I will still update this web comic!

I have also updated the store and my fan art page. I should probably write out more a description on each page.

Flora at WAM & My Cafe Press Store

Flora in Winter is coming back to the Worcester Art Museum this Thursday. It shall be interesting to see all of the floral arrangements. I will take as many pictures as I can.

Unfortunately the Kennedy to Kent State exhibit is closing this Sunday, so unfortunately this upcoming week is the last to see it.

I have finished my Cafe Press store for the moment, and I have attached buttons to the store in my portfolio website. I have yet to create buttons for them in my web comic site, but that will not take long.

College Design Remade Digitally & CafePress

Here are two designs I made in a class I took at the University of Massachusetts in Dartmouth. They were entirely made with cut pieces of paper. The assignment was to take four colors on one square, cut them each into four squares, cut those pieces into four separate pieces each while maintaining the same repeating shapes, and arrange them into a particular pattern. We had to do this with two separate whole squares, but with separate designs and different colors. I decided to go with fiery colors for one while creating cool colors for the other. I was very pleased with the results.

Unfortunately I was not pleased with the quality of these two designs. I decided to scan them into the computer and remake them in Illustrator. I am now wondering if I should have these designs repeating eight more times
in order to create a larger pattern. I think I will try it and see how it comes out. If I am pleased with the results, I will post these two in my portfolio.

Also, I am currently putting together a CafePress Store instead of what I have right now for my web comic site. This would have many more options of what people can buy to have printed, and it would save me a lot of time, money, and shipping in order to keep a store up. This store will be available on my portfolio page and my web comic page. I won't be able to use all of the images I have on my portfolio page, as some of it is considered copyrighted. I am considered using every page of my web comic series as prints though.

Page 51 and 52 of Zheph Skyre Finished

I have completed pages 51 and 52 of Zheph Skyre. I like how these pages look. I have never tried the black in the gutter. Usually that is used in manga for flashbacks. I decided to use that and a minor tint in the frames in order to display that it is clearly a flashback.

I wanted to show that Luther is completely sure of himself now on page 52. Whether or not his plan will work is still yet to be determined. Who might he have hired to track down Zheph? Where does our protagonist hide? Why does Vanessa seem uneasy about all of this?

I forgot to put the prices down in my store. If anyone buys anything through Paypal, it will show them how much each item is, but I definably want to show people the price for each item. I also should probably describe the images I have used to make these printed items.

I should also write up some descriptions about the fan art that I made in my fan art page.

Page 47 In Black and White, Idea, & Store Updates

Here's page 47 of the Zheph Skyre web comic. Again, this has not been colored in due to the hectic holiday season and the fact that I had to finish the previous few pages late. I do not believe that this page should take too long to finish and color in, but hopefully I can get it done as soon as possible.

I was given an idea to make a Youtube video using the pages from my web comic. I can easily voice over for every single character and move the frames of the comic due to the specific action. It probably will take a while before I can get around to that, and I would have to make a video for one chapter at a time. Since there is only one chapter finished, I would only be able to create one video.

My store will have more items available for sale. There will be mugs, magnets, and note cards for sale with my artwork printed on them. I'm hoping to have a wider selection in my store with some cheaper items available. I can understand how most people don't wish to spend too much money at times.

My Etsy Store

Yeah, I ended up just adding the ice blade to one of my dragons right before I redeemed my Groupon to have it on a gallery wrapped canvas and shipped to my address. So far I have set this up in a small shop on Etsy, but this is only one of two items it has so far. I will see if I can sell my chocolates in my store.

I have also been trying to redo my web-comic and work on the next 11 second animation. Both will be impressive when I get them done. The 11 Second animation will be done before the end of this month. The web-comic will be out shortly after that, and up above is the sketch for the title page so far...
