RWWS Book 1

Garrrgh!!!!!!!

Why, hello everyone! I've been working my butt off day by day with no end just to get this cover done! and I have gotten through some aweful roadblocks, this took me WAY longer than I thought.

(you guys probably got tired of waiting)

and, I have to thank Mary Dreamshade, Alia Lotuspetal, and Amber Rosepetal for your support on skype.

I appreciate it! :)

Now, for the awesome cover...(hopefully not dissapointing lol)

hmm....not the best quality I had hoped, but oh well..

(click to enlarge!)

Okay, and just to be on the safe side, I already scanned comic 1 for everyone, HOWEVER it looks pretty crappy in the pencilized version. :/

Hope this update helps! :)

Always and always will be...

P.S: sorry you guys for not putting in all the main characters, I didn't really have enough time to plan that all out P:

UPDATE: I just noticed if you click on it it shows the picture in better quality. So no crappy digital screen :)

tools: online coloring: Manga Studio (tm) Debut 4
         Scetch: 9" x 12" drawing pad + mechanical pencil

Leaked Information! Amber Stargem!

Ok! runner up character, Amber stargem, Will be known as something like this...

And No, she won't have pijamas as main clothes! She will definetly have more W101 related clothes, But since she is a person who loves to wear new things (just like in-game Amber Stargem) She will never have a main outfit.

That being said... The next drawing will be of...Dustin Mooncatcher!

but here is a few things about Amber Stargem's character:

Personality: outgoing, adventurous, even a little strange at times...
W101 school: Myth, and life.
Occupation: Grand Wizard school. (along with Samantha!)
Other: Right now, she is awesome friends with Samantha Thunderdust, They walk to school together and have the same ellectives as classes, whereas she is the one to cheer Samantha up whenever she doesn't have enough confidence; Samantha tells her about everything she can.

Amber Stargem will be a big character on friendship, although she doesn't play W101 anymore, she asked if she could be in the comic, so this one character is a giant thank-you for her being one of my first awesome BFF's in W101!

so, thank you Amber!!

(for the record, if it werent for Amber Stargem, then this blog would of never been made! She introduced me to David Titanrider and Dustin Mooncatcher, who inspired me to create a blog, so way to go, Amber!)

Thats the slow...calm...Update!!!

Oh, and for the people who celebrated yesterday, Happy...presidents day, was it??? (hopefully!)

okay, happy day AFTER presidents day!!!

Always and always will be...

After much debate....

After much debate....woah, deja vu!

I finally got in some online practice of Samantha Thunderdust, and after finalizing the results, she will look somewhat like this:

I thought really long and hard on how I wanted her to look, sort of like a teenager-but at the same time really carefree and simple. So hopefully her image can stay this way so I can make the action-sceans more complex.

I know that you have been watiting for the comic for a while, I just want to let you know I am NOT on vacation or whatever you call it that has to do with resting! I have really been working hard on this whole comic and I want it to turn out wonderful--so I have to (although I really don't want to) study buildings and backrounds before anything!!

Well, I haven't talked much on this site in a while, but thats the update!!

Always and Always will be...
-Samantha Thunderdust.

P.S: I'm still looking for characters so if you want to join please contact me and send me a picture of your wizard so I can get to practicing!!!

Work...In...progress...

I'm a fickle pickle

What would be a plant that best suits my personality right now? a fickle pickle. Thanks for all your encouragement everyone, I think I'm just going to need some relaxation, for a little. I think what I thought was bothering me all along was that I would of needed to go on wizard101 more often if I wanted to become 'legendary' or 'complete', while, in fact, I didn't want to become obsessed with the game again (yes, again, I know and I'll admit, I was pretty glued to my computer screen when I first started playing wizard101)

I think I should also let my skills for artwork become more relaxed and trained by the time I start the comic, when I'm fresh with ideas and imagination.

Right now, I'm posting some of my main artwork on another site, (an artwork site) if you feel like exploring on and in an artwork mood, click here .

but other than that, thats all I really need to say.

As always and always will be...

why so depressing?

Recently, Wizard101 has been very disasterous, as far as the players go...The game just isn't as fun as it was...

Thats whats been on most bloggers minds, as I'm sure of...

Recently on skype, my friend Luke Goldhorn said he took a 'break' from Wizard101, and also Cassandra Lifecaster was talking about quitting, too.

It's just so hard, when you see other people to quit Wizard101, and it makes it so tempting to do the same..

Some of you know what I am talking about, right?

I know its sad, but I don't really wanna start the RWWS comic anymore...I mean, if I started it, and ended it right in the middle, it would leave everybody hanging, right?

This isn't a sudden feeling, I've wanted to quit WIzard101 for a long time, ever since celestia came out... It's been so much fun with meeting new friends, and so sad to watch them quit...The reason why I am quitting is pretty simple, I'll explain what I have been going through...

When the hidden Celestia quest for the spiral key came out, I was certain it would come out with the new world, but it turned out to be more of a suspence throught the whole time, and they first said Celestia would come out at the END OF SUMMER. Which was August through September, right? well it ended up coming out from October to November, which sort of made me feel uneasy.

I was starting to get tired of the suspence and get Celestia to come out, and when it finally did, I was excited for a little, when my real life got caught in all of it, so I took a break for a little, like 2-3 weeks at the most, but when I got back, some Wizards were already level 60. It was almost like a slap in the face.

I know, I know, I have nothing against the people who got to level 60, nothing at all, but it was the fact that when I got my first wizard, (fire) it took me so long to get to level 50, and in fact, I hated how long it took, and how long I was spending my time online, it was becoming an obsession.

And now, when I have to get to level 60 to become the best I can be, I just need to wonder..How long would that take??

Uh..sorry for the fact that I am just pouring out all of my thoughts recently, I just have no more will to play Wizard101, I'm sorry for all those who are trying so very hard to stay in the game, but I can't endure much more boredem anymore, it's almost like torture.

And, if I just take a break, I'll still have to pay for wizard101, and if I get rid of my membership, then I'll have to set it up all over again, I don't know, I just can't handle it anymore...

Yeah, I'll still be on skype to chat with my friends from wizard101, and thanks to skype, I'll be able to communicate with them...

so, this may be the last post, but...I'm trying.

As always and always will be...

Color...color...and, Samantha??!!

Um, so, the title is a little strange...?

I've been using color differently recently (ly ly ly!) So this is a whole new style covered for me, its a little messy, but hey, its called a 'scetch' not the actual thing!!! ;D

So, Um, take a look:

yeah, I changed up her hair. But it's an ANIME comic for crying out loud!!!

I rushed the jeans, and I got the size of them a little off...

What the main focus is: her hair. I made my own style of awesome hair, don't worry guys (Dustin and Amber) I won't change the style of Wizard101, OR your characters, This is my character, so I wanted to make her stand out a bit, eh?

well another focus you might want to study (ohmygosh, HOMEWORK) I'm not finished, You might want to study the language on the side, (if you want to know what they are writing/reading, or I'll just put in a deciferer on the bottom of each word..) its a made-up language for wizard city, and yes, I'm going to have to study celestian text If they are going to go to celestia...

well, this is just the drawing board, so if you have any ideas for the comic (landscapes, characters, critiques) then let me know, I'll definetly want to listen!!

As always and always will be...
