I haven't really drawn much lately (other than the flash animation), so I sat down and worked on the new header picture for the Space Ninja Natsuki website:


This took 2 hours to sketch, ink, and color with grays. I might work on a color version if I feel like it.

The more I draw, the more astounded I get with the results. This is publishing quality stuff! I should start doing commissions or something.

I'm getting back into the swing of things, and I'll get cracking at that next FALL comic again. I know some of you really want to see it.

Hey everyone, I want to update you on a few things.

For the ETA on the next FALL comic, it is currently sort of unknown. It is going to be a few weeks till you see it. I have worked a bit on it, but my current priorities are jumbled up as of lately, due to real life stuff.

I am also currently re-learning Flash (The last time I really really worked with it was probably 2004). Every few years I need to update my web skills. I am taking my time also learning Actionscript 3.0, and reading a few books on other subjects related and unrelated to technical stuff.

I am currently working on an animated music video (using Flash) for my friend Steve Foster, famous for his Christmas Chickens. This video is not chicken related, but related to another type of bird. I'm doing it because it's really fun to be working on it, and I'm learning new skills that will help me out (and entertain you more) in the future.

Here is the first 2 seconds of animation:


You will see the final product within a month or two (or several), depending on when I finish it and when Steve wants to release it to the public.

Still working on #30, lots of RL stuff hindering me lately. Hopefully I'll get it done this weekend.

In the meantime, I want to show you this collage of images of Maaya, from 2002 (when the idea of FALL was conceived) to 2008. It's interesting to see how the character design changed,stuck for awhile, and improved over time.

About the bonus comic that was supposed to be up this weekend, I decided not to do it.

Too much was going on this weekend, and I want to concentrate my time on comic #30. Also, I don't think the bonus comic was not as good as it could have been.

Look forward to #30 later this week. BTW, I will usually update towards the end of the week from now on.

Bonus comic upcoming this weekend, and the comic that continues #29 comes sometime next week!
FALL is back!

I also wanted to add, comic #29 will bend any expectation of me, or any idea of what you think my comics are about (at least I hope so).

And if you doubt it's release this weekend, I assure you that all what needs to be done is inking and coloring. Sketching has already been done. There are 8 pages in total, 5 are finished, and there are 3 pages left to ink and color. I am going to spend time finishing it tonight when I get home from work.

#29 is extremely fun to draw, and I really like how it shows that my drawing has improved so much over the course of a year. It also marks a return to and an evolution of what FALL is really about.

Expect it like a tasty brick to the face.

Date: 2008-04-11 00:30 Subject: FALL #29 released soon Security: Public Mood: busy Tags: comic, fall

Part 1 of the BIG COMIC, #29 will be released this weekend.

There will also be a bonus comic this weekend as well, for a friend of mine.

The next part after that should be released during mid-next week.

Look forward to it.

You can now become a fan of FALL on Facebook. Do it!

Date: 2008-03-04 23:04 Subject: FALL #28 - Flowcharts are Fun Security: Public Mood: amused Tags: comic, drawing, fall

Slightly Achewood inspired.

Still working on the "BIG" comic, which might pop up as #29 or #30. Hopefully I'll be updating more often from now on.

In case I don't update by next week, 3/9 marks FALL's one year anniversary! Look forward to more comics!

Date: 2008-03-03 15:49 Subject: Comic surprise Security: Public Mood: busy Tags: comic, fall

There will be a comic surprise for FALL coming soon (within a day or two, or sooner).

In other news, comic #28 will be moved to comic #29 or comic #30.

I know I haven't updated in a while, and I'm willing to make up for it. I'm sure you will like it.
