Oh yeah, I never did post the results to the lineless/ hard line post.

The majority vote was to do a lineless character.  The more and more I looked at it though, i wasn’t very happy  with it.  So I went back and in and did some tinkering and came up with something I like even more:

it’s a soft line effect.  I love it :0

well I have been doing some work on my day off… I know, sounds crazy but it has been some fun work. I have been doing some work on my comic project.  I finally narrowed down a character design after many many many prototypes and today I decided to lay some color.  The colors are not set in stone yet, so they might change.  I am more concerned on the coloring style to use.  I did the same images in 2 different styles and now I don’t know which one I like more.  There are many different things I like about each….. so here we are…

 hard lines    vs…  lineless

 

Which color style do you like for Casually kayla 1) hard lines
2) lineless

I have been drawn to the lineless color style for awhile and decided to give it a try today. I like the results….

 

Casually….. April 22, 2008

Well, I have actually been pretty busy. 

I have actually been busy doing some art.  Yes you heard me……

I HAVE BEEN DOING SOME ART!!!!!1111

…. And some more web design.

 

I have been working on this new project for awhile, and I am actually standing behind it full force.   

I have talked about it before in earlier posts.

I wanted to make a comic about my life and all the funny things that happen. More and more people have told me that my everyday life is pretty freaking hilarious. Sometimes, I agree.

So I have decided to make this my new project. 

I even pulled out my light box, so you know I’m serious about it.

 

I have decided to call the project Casually Kayla…. Why?  Because I have been told that the name sounds like a very boring porno and I thought it was pretty funny.   I might change it… who knows… but I seriously doubt it.

 

So far I have a full cast of characters, with character sheets and color sheets.  It actually took me awhile to get those done because I couldn’t come to a clear stand on the character designs.  It took me forever to come up with one.  I wanted something simple yet complex at the same time.  I also wanted to get out of that “anime-ish” thing that everyone is into at this moment.   While it would make for a really cutesy art style, I don’t want my comic to be stuck in that genre.

 

I had a date that I wanted to get this up by, but the issues with the character designs, made me miss my due date.  So then I set another date, and that was pushed back by damn UPS.  I actually got up some money to buy a cintiq, a monitor that you can draw on.  I got the smaller version which still cost me a cool thousand dollars.

  So I was all excited for it to be here on April 14 and low and behold, the package gets to Atlanta and then magically disappears.  So I have had to file and claim and I’m still waiting for a replacement to be shipped out to me.  Makes me sad.    All of that has been put on hold, until someone can get me my thousand dollar package.  L

 

So while I wait, I have been coding the website for it and I have also been working on the episodes and story boards.  Right now I have a total of 50 episodes.  If I update every Saturday, that is enough to keep the readers occupied for a while.

 

I plan on uploading my sketches on this blog sometime soon.  So keep an eye out for all of that
