this’ll likely be the last of these for a little while. i’ve got some big projects here at work to concentrate on and at home i need to focus on parable. i’ll pick these back up again though once things die down a little.

i’m hard at work on my comic for parable this month, so i’m not sure how much other work i’ll have to update this blog with for a while. i’m going to try and hammer out these little seed panels when i can though cause well, they’re fun. so i hope you’re enjoying them. if not, well.. i’ll try to sprinkle in some other stuff here and there when i can. :)

speaking of pixies, remember that x-men character, piXie, i made up last year? (see a few of the sketches, here, here, here and here). i just discovered that she’s going to be an actual real x-men character. not my piXie mind you, but the similarities are quite striking. she even has the same black eyes! i guess me and marvel have similar (or in this case, THE EXACT SAME) ideas.

oh wait… i just found out she made her first appearance way back in june of 2005. so uh… my bad. they got it first. ;)

great character! i’ll be buying that issue! ha ha! oy…

been a while…

i’m been having a lot of trouble with spam on the blog as of late so i activated a new plugin that’ll hopefully help solve the problem a bit. but if you notice your comments not showing up, just send me a little email and let me know. thanks!

i don’t always get an assignment at work that involves drawing, so i started a little exercise that should be a fun start to each new work day. every day or so, at least when i get a chance, i’ve decided to draw a panel or two of a brand new seed comic- in color! this is just for fun and there’s not going to be a great deal of thought put into it, but the plan is to one: give me something to continually draw at my day job, two: practice my coloring (something i really need to work on), three: have something pretty to post on this here blog and four: finally give all of you who have been asking a new seed story (finally!). these’ll be rough little things, but at least it’s somthing, right? i’ll place these panels in their own category too for easy viewing.

now a quick explanation. this is not a direct continuation of my previous seed chapters. those ended because i no longer had the time to focus on them and, even more truthfully, when the first pirates of the carribean movie came out it pretty much did a lot of what i wanted to do with pirates. kinda like i can never write a zombie tale after seeing shaun of the dead. i still want to finish those chapters one day because i already wrote most of the story in my head and i think it’s a pretty good one, but there is plenty of pirate stuff out there right now that people are doing much better then i can so i’d rather just read their stuff instead for now.

but- i do know these characters. and i know where they end up. which is why i choose to use seed for this excercise. this stream of conciousness tale pretty much falls somewhere between the first story arc and the next. i don’t have any plan for this story. i’m just going to make it up as i go along and draw whatever i feel like drawing for it each day. it should be fun for all of us to see where and how long this eventually goes. :)

also- i realized how much i love nafae and paxhia. drawing them again was like a reunion with two old friends that i abandoned on a coffee table a long time ago. i know they are drawn a bit differently now then how there were before, but this is how i see them now. and also, some time has passed.

okay, that’s it. time for me to get back to work.
