Ramblings and webcomics from LeEMS
There was some combination of me browsing tumblr and watching a lot of Nightmare on Elm Street when I started wondering what Sleeping Beauty did all that time she was sleeping. And this is what happened, Princess Aurora, dream warrior.
Also posting on The Drawing Board are a couple of Freddy comics inspired by the same moviethon.
Double the fun because I didn’t inktober yesterday. One on the left is Ishbuku, by the by – at lease that’s the name I know for it. I went internetting to double check and found nothing right off that named Baba Yaga’s hut, so I’ll stick with what I know.
I did it! I did 24 comic pages in 24 hours (less – I’m too old to stay up that late anymore). My comic, Nightmare, is done! Read from the beginning!
My first page for 24 hour comics day is done and my comic, Nightmare, is posting in the Drawing Board.
Check back during the day for the rest of the comic as it comes out of my head.
Ok, I’m ready and I’m having in compu/gadget camera problems. I’ve got idea, paper with boxes and register marks, pencil that I don’t really want to use, markers and breakfast on the way. yee ha!
I just figured out what I’m going to draw! I am so relieved.
And, the best part about drawing in a series is when you start to play because you are getting bored with drawing in a series. At first I didn’t think I liked those stairs, but now they are as nerve inducing as I originally imagined.
24 hour comics day is coming! I need to come up with an idea – though, of course, nothing more than an idea. The challenge is to plan, draw, and finish a 24 page comic in 24 hours. There can be no story written, no layouts sketched, nothing until the big day. How it’s finished is up to the artist. I did my usual last year (pencil sketches inked with a grey pallet). I’m trying to decide if I’m up for that this year. I can still remember how my shoulder felt afterwards. Why must I mouse and draw with the same hand?
Since I’m doing the challenge from home I will be posting updates and comic pages as I go this Saturday. Thank goodness I finally have a correct installation of webcomic (is, by the by, a fabulous comic displaying wordpress plugin, with which my recent trials were probably all my fault).
