Description Okay, so if you haven't been reading my journals, know that I'm in Vienna doing school-type things right now. Therefore I am miles and miles and miles away from my beloved wacom because it was way too big to fit in my carry-on luggage and I wasn't risking it in my checked bag. *sadface*

I've been wanting to get started on a re-do of my sad excuse for a comic because it's been bothering me (Is it just me or does it look like my style has changed a bit?), but this tablet that I borrowed from my mom is terrible xD I mean, it works decently for an off-brand tablet, but I just can't get straight lines with it.

But yeah, here's some characters from my comic. I drew more, but some of the others aren't as good and desperately need some Photoshop love that I can't give them right now. xD From top/left to bottom/right it's Alric, Ereli (totally changed her hair 'cause it looked too much like Mai's xD), Rina (who hasn't shown up yet), Isabella (who I want to steal that mask from now that I redesigned it), Severin (who kind of looks like a person and not an adorable puppy or something anymore xD), and Miranda (who for some reason turned out blurry. Also, it's hard to draw ponytails from the front... She has more hair, just fyi)

Also, I don't have a scanner, so I had to take pictures of my sketchbook which is why all the pictures look so janky xD God, am I ever in a state right now...

Anywhoo, I hope you enjoy the fact that I've actually been drawing stuff and working my way out of this seemingly-bottomless pit of artist/writer's block and despair that I've worked myself into.

I'll probably move this to scraps or something when I can get access to a tablet and actually do full-bodies on these guys and the rest of the cast.

If you are feeling creative block and don't know what to draw we can do a collab drawing! What do you think? I've done it before with other artists, and together we where able to make a much better drawing then either of us could do alone.

I feel your tablet pain. My old tablet isn't in prime condition, despite being a name brand Wacom. Sometimes When I'm drawing the line veers to the left, or acts like I double clicked to the left, which is really problematic when drawing. Even more problematic when 3D modeling in zbrush, because double clicking blurs hard boundaries when masking. So then I either have to undo or redraw the boundary if I made to many steps without noticing that my mask got fucked up. I thought at first that the tablet was picking up the pressure from my hand, but a Wacom employee told me that's not possible, because it only uses magnets. I got to play around on a Cintiq tablet for a few hours... it was amazing. I'm pretty sure if I had one of those, then all my tablet drawing woes would be over. Too bad it costs about $2000!!! I still plan on getting one some day... when I have allot more money.

Haha, I know. You said that in your description. And as I said then too: It looks wonderful to me. Keep up the good work, Shae! You have always been creative with whatever is given to you (crappy off-brand tablets or not).

Well I think it looks great, little lady. It will be neat to see your characters updated with photoshop too!

Ugh! I can't wait until I can fix them all up xD I mean, the tablet I have is ridiculous. I can't get straight lines out of it.
