Okay, so here’s what I’m going to do for the next few weeks.

I will be on the road between conventions and unable to work consistently on the comic for about a month. I thought it would be best rather than bring the comic to a standstill for four weeks, if I at least prettied up the drafts a bit and post them so that the story can continue while I’m gone.

They’ll be inked and shaded at a later time, once I’m back at home.

I’ll be visiting:
Animazement (Raleigh NC)
A-Kon (Dallas TX)
Colossalcon (Sandusky, OH)
Animegacon (Las Vegas, NV)

Fortunately I have a road-trip buddy to help keep me sane on the long drives, but she cannot drive the car so I won’t have free drawing hands for most of this time.

Working as fast as I can and also preparing for conventions. My printer is giving me a migraine. It needs a head cleaning about every three sheets it does, which wastes large amount of ink. Next year, I think I’ll save up some money and order out my prints instead.

I already know one of you is going to make a fart joke.

On Bonus Updates, etc.

jamie — Sat, 04 May 2013 17:48:10 +0000

Most of the reasons I’ve been late to update this past week are personal, but for the sake of communication I thought I should post something even if it is a bit vague. To put sum it up neatly, I’m still struggling with getting ill on a semi-monthly basis, and I still can’t afford a doctor’s visit just yet. Although I did check prices about it, and it is an attainable goal within a few months. So no worries, it’s a temporary situation.

I don’t think I have hit a complete 3-update week in the entire month’s time that I have been trying do do so. I know that I can accomplish this when I don’t have other distractions, but being in the thick of con season, it was too ambitious to start off right away. In addition to the other websites I work for, I’ve been formatting 5 different books for print and pulling together everything that I can find for convention supplies.

So What I’m going to end up doing is still strive my hardest to keep up, but really just change the bonus time frame to the months of July, August, and September which would be after I’ve returned from con season.

If I could make Lavender Legend my full-time job then I’d love to do 3x a week updates on a regular basis for the long term, but that doesn’t look possible at this point in time.

It’s not like I like you or anything.

Podcast Show: Jamie and Tessa’s Artsplosion

jamie — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 22:46:02 +0000

My fellow Filthy Figments contributor Tessa and I are going to start a weekly podcast show in which we’ll talk about the process of making webcomics, and demonstrate some techniques for you live on LiveStream. The first episode is going to start Monday at 9 PM Central time at this link; however you won’t find much there right now, since it will be our first broadcast. Please bookmark it and tune in when we go live. Of course, I’ll post a reminder of it when it comes the time. If you can’t make it, we’ll upload the recording for you to check out at your convenience.

The first topic will be the rule of heads, and how to properly apply the concept to your drawings. The reason I chose to talk about this subject is that there is a lot of misteaching and misconception about this “rule” which causes beginners to reject the idea completely.

Of course, it won’t all be serious business since me and Tessa will be joking around the whole time. That’s why the show is rated NC-17, for all the f-bombs and crass humor we’ll probably end up making. We’ll also answer your questions and have an off-topic segment of the show, if enough people show up for it.

Can’t wait!

I am trying to catch up today since I missed Friday again.

The bonus 3x a week update period (which was supposed to be April, May, and June) probably won’t be very consistent until I get back from my convention circuit (in June), so I will probably extend it a month or two (July and August), or until I catch up.

The Rose Slayer book is done, a pre-order banner is above. Please be advised, it is 18+ only and very NSFW.

Still working very hard to get books done before the big con trip (less than a month from now), as well as get Kickstarter people their rewards before then. I had to do some unexpected corrections for the Lavender Legend books, the cover wasn’t formatted right. But that’s the only correction I had to do, [...]

I squeaked Monday’s update in before the end of the day. I spent this weekend finishing up Rose Slayer. I’ll post more information on how to get the Rose Slayer books (two volumes) when they become available.
