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.
Comics, NaNo, and things that are Adult at night with Jungle Music. November 14, 2007

So yesterday was a fun day. I got very little sleep. I worked on the Second Manga Beat at the way of the geek site. I worked on my novel project as well. I’m dreadfully behind, and loud disturbing jungle noises from upstairs and other adultery activites keep me awake. It’s not very easy to write with that kind of thing going on.
So I did the next best thing. I colored a single page out of the young Archive of the Thrice drawn web comic Fatebreaker. -See post below this-
They loved the finished result so much they put it up in place of the old Lineart. I feel very accomplished, and happy with myself.
Yay me!
In other news, I am incredibly tired and exausted. I have to some how break out another 12K, if I’m to catch up with the rest of the NaNo pack.
That’s what hot chocolate is for.
Mmm Hot Chocolate.
Manga Beat to Move to front page of Way of the Geek. October 30, 2007

So it would seem, that I’ve been given the all clear. Manga Beat as we know it, after just two test posts here will be moving to the main site of Way of the Geek. Migo and I decided this would be cool, and that I’d start out with the bottem of the collection I happen to currently have. This way I have these to fall back on, and when I get a new one with the funds, those will go up. Looks like things are starting to run smoothly, and I’ve found a Gimmik.
Go me.
