I think I slept on my shoulder the wrong way last night, it’s hurting pretty bad. Plus, my micron pens haven’t arrived yet, probably will arrive in an hour or two as of this writing.

Today, I think I’m gonna just do some doodling and goof off. Try to relax and let my shoulder recover. There will be a broadcast tomorrow on uStream.

Today was a little bit more disappointing in terms of productivity because my preferred inking pen, the Pigma Micron 03 (0.35mm), had just run dry. Not long after, the 05 started to run dry. I had ordered another set of pens to be shipped to me and should arrive tomorrow. However, I should start considering ordering pens individually in batches to take into account the amount of work I put into them using certain sizes – specifically the 03 and 02.

Only one page was finished today, and I’m questioning its quality since much of the lineart was done using the 05, to help give two panels the boldness it needs to be able to “jump out” at the reader, in terms of the characters’ actions.

With that said, I’m going to try to relax for the rest of the day and work some on getting a sketch version of the cover for the first book done. I’m collaborating with a very talented painter to have it colored. :3

Page 130, and we know how the Phasmatis arrived on Earth…but the knowledge of who first made them is lost.  You can get on uStream or visit the Drawing Board section of the website to watch me work starting at 9:30 AM Pacific, these broadcasts will be made on update days.

In other news, I ran out of money before the month was over, so I’m having a hard time dealing with the bills from August.
