At around 7pm cst, I opened up a save of this comic page from Fatebreaker. After some lovely comments from the writer that was encouraging to myself as a colorist. I wanted to have another go at it, while chatting in Ventrilo with The Kid from Kids Korner.
I had been talking and coloring for around 7 hours give or take. When my Computer decided to barf a blue screen of death after locking up something horrible. I couldn’t salvage the session. 14 layers of work, gone. Poof, no more. I forgot to save. Yes boys and girls, let this be a lesson to you, save and save often.
In other news, It seems my debut at Way of the Geek With Manga Beat with Return to Labyrinth, has been noticed and linked back to from achan
This has actually brightened my dismal hour of grief. It may only be in the foot notes, but still. It gets my WOTG name out there.
So thank you for linking that review people at achan. You’ve cheered me up quite a bit.
NaNo on the other hand… Has proven, to be most hard to catch up on. I’ve found myself having to jump to a further plot point area, in order to play catch up with. I hope that by doing so I can go back later and fill in the more dreadful details that have thus elluded me. I’m also considering putting in fluff about two men on a date at some point, but that all really depends on how I do with this. I am quite behind the rest of the NaNo pack now.
However I shall persist dang it.
I WILL SUCCEED, even if I have to pull an all nighter.
