Ramblings and webcomics from LeEMS
Allow me to introduce you to Idge, he’s a mascot–has been since I first starting paying money for my domain and opened an Etsy store. Though, he’s never looked quite like this before.
I’ve been playing around with making him a little more mobile and I’m pretty darn happy with the results. This is one. Another is now supervising from the menu column to the right. Little comic strips of his exploits will begin to show up on The Drawing Board.
So, in the spirit of National Novel Writing Month, I have made mock-up covers to replace two of the ‘image coming soon’ notices on my stories page. They just happen to be for the stories that have a finished draft–that was totally accidental. I still have no idea what I’m writing for National Novel Writing Month, and I am still trying to finish another in progress before November 1st rolls around. It’d be nice if this year were the first I could come up with a cover idea for November’s novel before November is over. I’ll keep dreaming.
I didn’t really leave this desk all day. This was taken early when I could still focus my eyes. Anyway, I’m really glad to have done 24 hour comics day. I love this dis-connected connection with the rest of the world through online challenges.
Apparently there is this thing called inktober (http://drawn.ca/archive/inktober/) that I totally missed the boat on. You’d think that after 24 hour comics day people would stop drawing for a few days, but I’m proof that they don’t. I just haven’t been sharing it. I need to get it together!
I did some combing through of the 24 hour comics day participants (that named themselves anyway) and found some treasures. I share.
Do you ever find yourself feeling like a complete dweeb because you didn’t know how awesome someone was until someone else told you? Yeah, well, I don’t feel that way ’cause I’d seen Rion Sabean’s photography long before the article on jezebel. But, I have to admit, the success and renown that Rion’s work is already receiving is really really impressive.
I wanted to do my part to talk him up as one of the coolest people I know. You can see more of his work, and order the Men-Up! calendar on his site: rionsabean.com.
OOOOOOOooooooooOOOOH YEAH! I finally got everything working the way I wanted everything to work; yes I did. The navigation should carry through from site (machine) to blog (bean) and back again. Comics have a new launch page on the Bean and they post separate in that fancy way I wanted the comic pages to post. They also update the Bean’s overall RSS feed, so if you get this, you will see all 24 of the 24 hour comic day comic I did (which you can now read in it’s handy new layout).
I will be moving over No Evil and Flip Side to this type of comic posting very soon, but Levi Levi and the other static ones will stay where they are.
Oh, and by the by, if you want only a certain permutation of RSS feed, check the right hand menu to see if it’s already available.
Cheers, –LeE
All right kittens. The new NaNoWriMo site is finally up! Is it sad that I was waiting for this? I mean, it’s still mid October and I have a couple of stories that I really really really want to finish up before starting something shiny and new on November first, but I’m really excited about National Novel Writing Month this year. The past two years I’ve tried, but because of moving and unforeseen circumstances I was not able to make much of a go of it or a show of it. And then there was the 23,000 word thumbdrive corruption…..
Why is my lease set in November?
Anyway! In an effort to distract myself from writing, I will still be drawing and trying to figure out how to integrate a web-comic posting function into this here blog, or website.
Once the buddy function is up and running make me a friend and we’ll write together come November.
If you are subscribed to the Bean feed then you may have been noticing some weird stuff going on with comic pages showing up, disappearing, repeating. That’s me. I’m trying to figure out how to make the Bean host comics like those cool comic hosting sites while still remaining my blog.
I think I have an idea of how to do it now, and it may mean some more comic reposting in your feeds, so please bear with me.
Also–my idea of how to do it now will change the site a little too, so if you are visiting the web pages you will see some tweaks here and there.
And early too, I might add. Which is good, ’cause I don’t think I can do any more.
’cause remember I have those four pages at the end that I did in the beginning. Two more pages to go folks. Next post will be the final six.
ok so, my eyes are starting to cross. I think this is the point past which I can no longer go break-less. I mean, like a bigger break than going to the rest-room or getting up to stretch.
aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggghh! my arm is killing me. I need to stretch again. But otherwise THIS IS FUN!
