Lots of Stuff..and a New Drawing

Well my art show is finally over and I removed the artwork the other day :] It was a great run and I'm glad it had such a long exposure; Three months almost! I was told that my comics made good sales at the gallery too so that's great news to hear as well. And no sooner does this one end; I was invited to a new show in NOV! The gallery space will be smaller though so I am making a slightly smaller painting just for the show (I think it will be 3ftx4ft which is SMALL to me haha). I still haven't decided on the subject/theme but my books are packed with tons of ideas I want to paint so it's more a matter of which one would look nice/make sense in a small format...

I was also just invited to go teach a class how to use Flash in Santa Clara coming up Oct 10! It's only a 2 day demo thing but still it will be cool! Mostly basics I think since they have not learned much about how to use the program's features and stuff.

Then out of the blue an old collaborator contacted me! She is an author in Chile that writes humorous political satire and years ago like back in 2001 had asked me to draw inked illustrations for her book. Well I did and the book was published in Chile Bet you all didn't know there is a book out there in Chile with my illustrations (and a cameo of Fibble in there) haha . So anyways she contacted me again and wants to do a Vol 2 in her series; that means she is commissioning me to do the new drawings for this one too which is great! Looking at the old drawings now I know I can draw these new ones MUCH better as well.

My comic pages are coming along too and I have a new page penciled out...so just need to ink it. And my flash episode has actually moved a smidge closer to being done. Still a ways to go though since I'm so freaking slow and busy guuuhhh. I have also been investigating a few new things art-wise...PRINTS. Like high quality prints on some of my paintings, but I'll say more of that when I get closer to a good example of it (just testing it out now). Oh AND I did a new digital painting of Idolatry (my character from Issue 2 of In The Dark) Go check him out here Idolatry-The HAPPY KAWAII CAT Yup lots of stuff is coming soon!

I want to suck ur dick.. Seriously.. :/

Comick 2011-09-29 17:21:12

I'm flattered...but in a no-homo way, okay!?

... I can no longer consider an art career because I doubt I'd be that successful.

Comick 2011-09-29 18:40:26

Don't think that way! You can get there if you strive for it....I always think to myself this motto: "A desire or dream without any action will remain just an illusion." And then I feel mentally pumped up and I go get shit done! lol

Deal!
How do you only have 3 comments?

I'm probably never going to be very popular here. That's because my work is very obscure, loaded with dark comedy, and can be scary and morbid at times. The regular average Newgrounds audience doesnt like that stuff...they want parodies, epic battles, dumb humor, and random meme faces. And since I don't do any of those kinds of things in my cartoons I'm not going to get a lot of attention here. But that's okay! At least there are a few people who like my work :] and I appreciate that a lot!

What are your thoughts on the sonic movie?
Are you gonna quit the series for something bigger or complete it on your own time?

Comick 2011-10-14 13:10:26

Sonic MOVIE?? I never said I'm not making a Sonic movie lol. But I am doing a single short which will be half interactive flash comic pictures and half animation called Sonic and the Crystal Egg. It is still in the rough stages...I am doing storyboards, rewriting plot, and test animations for it so I guess it will be very slow before anything shows up for it, but I did hope to have like a small trailer thing for it posted on my DA by next year.

You've come a long way since 2001! In the semi-dysfunctional world of NG, I think you've done remarkably well here.

Comick 2011-11-20 17:31:48

Hi there :) Thanks a lot for looking around at my little spot here! Hopefully I wiil have more things to come ..and they will just get better and better ^^

Love you.

Seriously, i ADORE your work, it inspired me to keep drawing my characters, and even begin inking them, to one degree or another. I would continue, but my Compy broke down, and i haven`t the slightest bit of experience in the matter.

Your comic(k) has not only kept me going thru many a hard time, it has also struck me emotionally, and I`m glad you kept going long enough for me to be exposed to you.

DON`T GIVE IN

Comick 2011-12-15 23:54:43

Thank Blizzard! It really makes my day to read my work inspired someone to get creative and take on their own drawings and art ^_^ Its also very motivating to hear it too and thanks a lot for the patience while I continue to do my own projects. They are slow but I put in a tiny bit every night after long hours merely for the passion and drive to see the things I want to watch come alive. Hopefully I will have more coming out soon! Thanks again for the nice comment!
