Yes, I am here and would like to announce that I am doing a role call for those that would like to be in or would like to see their favorite Newground characters for this christmas holiday 2011. I will be included as number 11 and Hank is first in line from the request that I have read from the last time. So I will be putting it out there if there's anyone that would like to request to see a popular Newgrounds character drawn with the rest of the bunch please comment on this entry. There will be 9 slots open and available for me to work on as this group art will be inked and perhaps even in color.

This is what our group art picture looked like in the 2009 edition: http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/the manofsteal13/merry-christmass-newgroun ds

I will be active again after Wednesday and will also be submitting more artwork for your visual enjoyment. I think you'll be pleased as to how epic it'll look after I'm done with it. By the way, the picture below is how I feel about Christmas anyrate.

Well to start, for the past month I've been looking into getting a program to use for my art to start doing digital (other than photoshop). So, in one of my other blogs (not in NG) I have written a list of things that I need to get. Though through looking at other works of art that were made digitally I've seen some have had this sorta traditional look, but much more smoother. So I asked one of the artists from the Art portal to help me out. So thanks to whitedevil0404, which is a master digital artist, I was able to look into the possibility to getting a program that I can work with in a traditional feel. Its something that I've been having in my head for quite a while and to make the transition from traditional to digital may seem like a big step for me yet I see no better way to do color than what you can do on computer.

So, note to self. Check out Painter or SAI for any free demos, Weigh the cost, and add to the list of things to buy. Perhaps January I'll be able to invest money to buy the tools I need to possibly make more money? Well, I got to start somewhere. I really want to use digital media mainly for my comics. For now, I have to be a good little scout and finish my studies, Oh boy my STUDIES!
.........-_-

On a side note, if anyone is interested in good hot steamy art check out whitedevil0404 here on NG. He is truly a damn good artist that you've ever seen. He also accepts requests for commissions so make sure you contact him if you want a nice piece, by him, of your own.

Well, progress coming around slowly but surely. Look me up on December, I may even throw in a few good pieces of art.

Well, looks like I'll be facing one of the challenges in life..school. Since college isn't getting any better I have to drop my art and work on my classes so production is slow now. I have been designing alot of swords lately though in hopes to find the right sword that truly calls out to me.

I'm going to say this now before its too late, I'm going to have a hard time. Anyways here's what I'm talking about. This is the sword I'm sorta working on to make it my own someday. Still needs a bit of work, but the details came out great!

I'm busy with 2 new pictures right now with the combination of ink and watercolors. As I said before in one of my submissions I will be doing a color version of Wonderland.

In addition, I'm also doing a crusader theme with ink and watercolor as well which isn't as bad as I thought it was. If I accomplish upon finishing in getting more views on the watercolor pieces, I'll use the medium to my advantage in incorporating them in the comic Myth. I've heard the comments, most of all, of the fact that the characters are hard to distinguish from the background. Perhaps water coloring the background is the answer.

After the 2 art poster pieces I will get back to work on page 4 for my fantasy comic, Myth. There will be more to come soon.

After being quiet for a good while, not over the loss of ODM which also will be making a come back, I've been getting some new artwork in of all kinds. Surely enough I'll be taking photographs of my work and just maybe, MAYBE put it on NG. I also have other works of art thats also on paper. Most will be sketches though so you won't see them in the art portal so check em here.

I will be presenting stuff I made from metal, like jewelry, parts of armor, and maybe something special.
Well, most of this stuff will be up on Deviant Art, but the really cool stuff will be shown here. I also have holidays to consider for NG since many liked the 2009 newgrounds Christmas special. So, I think I'll also do a Halloween picture for newgrounds also. It'll be a while before then so ya'll get ready.

So, thats all the news I have for ya'll today. I wish I have more to say since its been a good while, but just know that you'll be seeing more artwork from me definitely here and hopefully in the art portal.

At the bottom: Evil Kid from a alternative rock comic I made called Epidemic.

I will be making the last comic for ODM, yes this will be the last one. After that I'll put off from making anymore, but will be making a poster for season 2 complete with a new cast of characters. This one will look different than the first, it'll be inked and painted rather the shaded with graphite and color pencils.

I'll still put up more random art as usual however, Just giving you a heads up on this mini comic. I hope you all enjoyed Omar Du More and I pray that I get lots of hits and feedback on what people would think on producing a live series. So anyone, if you would like to see a live series of ODM please comment your thoughts and ideas.

Also, I would like to give my special thanks to all of my viewers on NG. You are all the reason why I keep coming back. Thank you.
Feel free to browse through my gallery anytime. ^^

Yes, I just now finished the first page for issue 17 and if those of you love anime you all will love this one especially. Page two is up next followed by page one of issue 18. I have to say that time ran out for Myth since December hit me early. I thank everyone who viewed, commented, and rated the first 3 pages. I will continue finishing them after the year if anyone still wish to see more.

I will also group people together this month for voice auditions. If I don't hear from my friends I'll ask the people of VAC. I like to give this to those who shown interest in Myth and the voice acting project.

Ever wondered how crazy an anime convention is? Well come check out our next issue of Omar Du More!!

The last post I had put down a run through explanation on the video I'm making, now here's a brief.

I have lines set up for those who are willing to try out for the preview video, but do note that volunteers are not limited to the lines I provide and can also include their own. More info as to what kind of lines to make, check the previous post. Here are the ones available and the ones aren't:

(taken) Oren: Once upon the grave..

(taken) Jona: W,where is this place..?
(taken) Oren: when it was too late..
( ) Joel: Even I could've told ye that.

(taken) L kin: I wouldn't say to the likes of thee poetic justed, filth, even for your pathetic
piece of silver.
(taken) Maiden: but my lord...

Upon the worry of looking for a voice actress for my video, I suddenly came up with a plan to make a preview for Volume 2 of Myth. So after turning in one of the art pics I done for someone; I don't know why, but I always get some good ideas from quel2many. So here's the idea:

I need people to volunteer to do a line or two for Vol 2 of Myth. You can make up your own line as long as it has some epic or cinematic edge to it. It can be a quote, a question, a confession, or anything that can be incorporated into a fantasy story.
Lines like "Thou shall not pass" or "I chose my words carefully, perhaps you should have done the same" are examples of catch lines from the movies.
The line can't be too long, I plan to put all these lines together for the preview.

Once I'm done, it'll be something similar this:
SA 2 Battle last Ep preview

It won't be the same,but just similar. If anyone have some interest to throw in a good line, PM me and send in the file. I'll add your file and add you up on the credits once its done. It'll be pretty good, nothing too out there, but pretty good.

Lately, I have been currently working on a new project that takes up the old one. Myth Act 2 is in production right now, but is almost finished. All I need is a voice actress who's willing to cast in a role in my story as one of leading characters. I have a short preview on youtube to show what the next act is going to be like. There's no one doing the voice in the preview, its just a prerecording that I found on sounddogs.com.
