The good news:
1) All my old commissions have been finished and I have a clean slate except for a trade and of course those contest prizes (I haven't forgotten!)
2) I graduated high school and I turn 18 in ten days. Woot.
3) I'm attending Middlebury College near Burlington, VT. Any watchers out that way?
4) I got Adobe Photoshop CS4 as a graduation present! I'm planning on studying all of its abilities so that I can maximize my art efficiency and make better pictures.
5) I do plan on resuming Knife's Edge.
6) I am going to be hard-core practicing my art in the coming months. I feel like I haven't improved in a long time and I need to become more of a "real" artist. So expect plenty of art of other animals, terrains and whatnot.
The bad news:
1) This means I'm moving in less than 2 weeks. I've been in a very artsy mood lately so don't be surprised if I upload a LOT of stuff in the next couple weeks. But I highly doubt I'll be drawing much in the month after that, as I need to get adjusted to college life.
2) My boyfriend of 5 months is staying here for college while I move away. So I'm likely to not feel like doing art even if I have the time during that aforementioned month of adjustment.
The Big News:
2) I'm changing Knife's Edge from a graphic novel to a novel with many illustrations. It has always been a story about characters to me, and when a page takes 15 hours and can span less than half of one conversation, I find it an inefficient way to characterize the way I'd like. I've already been writing it.
This way I can draw better pictures of the truly exciting scenes rather than every little minute detail that can get somewhat boring to me, the artist, and you, the faithful watcher. And it also means that I will have time to supply you guys with lots of sketches and concept art and maybe even those tutorials I've been itching to do for years.
I really love this story and chars and want to share it with dA, so I would never give it up. But I do feel that I'm not doing it justice in any way, shape or form by posting pages every few weeks, months.. or years.
So what do you guys think? I value your opinions!
