Hi guys! It's getting coooold over here, how about by you?
So I've been getting ready to move in with my in-laws for a little while to have my baby. (I live with my husband in Japan right now; it's customary for a woman to move back to her own parents' home for a few months before and after giving birth, but since mine are in the States I have to stay with the in-laws. It'll be fun, I get along with them.) Anyhoo, I'll be heading over to rural Kyoto at the beginning of December and staying there until ... well I am not sure quite when, it depends on when my baby decides to be born, plus how I am feeling, plus my husband's work schedule. I'm pretty flexible, so it's all good! But my guess is, mid-or-end of January. Mom-in-law wants me to stay later, I think she wants to steal my baby, lol.
I WILL have internet, but no scanner and no Photoshop for sure. I might have my Wacom tablet, I might have SAI ... but I am going to use my husband's laptop, and that thing is from 2007 and is sloooow, so probably I'll be watercolor painting just like I should be for that time. Which is too bad cuz I just got SAI and barely can use it.
However, I am working super hard right now, toning pages for my new project, Espenville. I am determined to launch it on January first, and already have about a month's worth of pages ready to update with. Also I am setting up the website and also working it so that I can update with my Galaxy (they have a Wordpress app and all, so I am going to take advantage of that). Now you know why I have not posted too much art - between setting up a website, drawing/scanning/toning enough pages to get me through January, NaNoWriMo, packing, buying baby stuff, and all the eating/napping that being 9 months pregnant seems to require, this November has been pretty busy! But fun, very fun and oddly memorable.
You all may have noticed that I have not updated Four Kingdoms in a while. I've just not had time to work on it. Updates on that will resume next year. Sorry, I just had to kind of give it up temporarily. The beginning of the story is kind of slow, but I like Chapter 2 on ... which sadly I have not gotten to posting, but anyway, regular updates to that is getting thrown into my big lump of New Years Resolutions.
Anyway, I'm only weeks away from having this baby! We are just so excited for her, we've already picked names and everything. YAY!
How about you all, have any good end-of-the-year plans?

Hi
Hi!
I'm back again... it's been forever!
Little Hiatus
I am taking a little hiatus until the new year because I am in the middle of moving. Also, Christmas. (I really want to like Christmas but since I have been in Japan I have just hated it! I'm a grinch) So both comic projects are also on break (although I will be drawing them as much as possible - finally I got some buffer!) I just have absolutely no time to get on the laptop. I am, however, quite able to use my tablet, so I can check my e-mail/twitter all the live long day. But somehow I find viewing DA to be difficult on it... I think I read some news somewhere that there is an app for it, I'll have to look that up.
Moving is busy but
Long time no see
Whoops guys! I have been MIA for a while!
I've been drawing a lot, though - but mostly sequential art. I haven't had time/ideas for watercolors because I have been working so hard on my other projects!
I have also drawn some ink pictures that I will scan and put up. But... my computer crashed and I had to do a registry clean-up on it, meaning all of the programs have been wiped off of it! So I have to reinstall Photoshop, scanner drivers, etc. It is a pain in the butt. Also, my baby attacks the laptop whenever she is awake, so I am restricted to doing all of this when she is sleeping.
I've also been down in the dumps this month. I h
Aquarium and Anpanman Museum
This week I took my baby to the aquarium in Osaka with the husband, and to the Anpanman museum in Kobe as well. It was fun! The Anpanman museum is more like an amusement park, I don't really know why they call it a museum. My baby can't walk yet (she's about to hit 8 months) so I am pretty sure me and my husband had more fun than she did, but she seemed to like it nevertheless.
