Barring any complications: Thanks to my printer being SUPER nice, I’m getting a small portion of my books sent to me before Comicpalooza in Houston, May 24-26. This is pretty last minute, I’m gonna be sitting with EK Weaver of TJ and Amal.
<:3c between this and scheduling dates for surgery I’m feelin’ so good about things turning around in my favor. Wee!
First off, I’m talking to a printer presently and barring any complications, it looks like I can have my books by late June! A little over a month longer than the amended due date but hey, I’m just relieved to be moving forward. When the deal’s finalized and money is exchanged, I’ll post a Kickstarter update — I really want my next update to have solid information and news.
Secondly, regarding commission and donation rewards: They ALL will be mailed off to people as of May 4th. I realized that I will be out of town between April 23 and May 3rd, so I won’t be able to draw Love Me Nice or Slipshine. So I shifted gears and have spent the time before I leave ONLY working on digital projects, like those two. Instead I’m taking all my markers to Portland with me and will spend that 8-10 days working on sketch cards and commissions.
Just wanted to update everyone!
This is a panel from the upcoming Adventure Time OGN “Playing with Fire”- Pencils by Zack Sterling, and Inks by Stephanie Hocutt.
Weeeee, I got permission to post 1 panel from the book that I toned/shaded! This has been without a doubt a really fun project to work on and it’s basically everything I ever wanted to do as a toner/shader/colorist. So much fun.
:3 I’m a proud marshmallow.
Right now, cuz I’m busy, Love Me Nice doesn’t have an update schedule. I’m still slowly working on pages but right now Love Me Nice exists as a hobby since I’ve got paying work (LMN doesn’t really bring in any income) as top priority, but I hope to get a job done and then dedicate the next few months to working up to a once-a-week or once-ever-two-weeks multiple-page update schedule. I’ve even been redesigning the site. http://www.lovemenicecomic.com/new_site/comic/
I badly wanna update it again, I haven’t forgotten about it. I just need time. Just gotta work up to it.
Due to a lot of interest and messages about whether/when I’ll do more commissions, and the money pit that is convention season, I’m temporarily accepting commissions. To keep my workload from getting too complicated, I’ve made things quite simple — right now, I’m only offering 5x7 marker illustrations for $30 (max 2 characters, add $10 for more than 2 characters).
Will be mailed to you — shipping free in the US, please add shipping for international commissions.
Commissions will be drawn by order of payment to paypal: mandiiv@gmail.com. Please send an email to the same address with commissions details.
I will be accepting commissions for this week (last day Sunday March 24th) or until I reach 10, whichever comes first. When finished I may open up for another round, but I may not. Depends on work load.
Feel free to ask questions.
Detail panel from that comic page. I’m pleased cuz I haven’t tried to digitally color a comic in, like, a year, and before that another year. I’m trying to learn to do it faster. I’m rusty and not too experienced at digital color but I try, gosh darn it. I am proud of this so far.
Yep. Enough people have been asking about marker commissions that I’ve decided that next week, when I have a window to do it, I’m gonna accept some commissions as a convention-season-fund buffer. They will be limited, and I gotta finish/scan two commissions on my plate currently.
This is just a heads up, since people send me messages about missing my last commission round or asking when I’ll start taking them again. More info next week.
