Comment on Wait For It of Another Crazy Comic by Nicolle
labradorduck, 07 Jun 2013 08:44 pm
This particular comic was inked and shaded 100% digitally!
Steve got me Manga Studio EX4 for my birthday! It has proved very fun to use in inking. It also has a bunch of neat features particularly geared towards creating comics (including tools for tones and speed lines, as evident by this particular page).
The shading was done in Photoshop (as I have stumbled upon ways online to toggle with the paint tools to mimic my 15+ sketching pencils).'
Drawn listening to this on repeat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZrtIjfFlKw Also recommended by Steve. Yay, Steve!

If you sincerely liked "Garden State", I apologize!
I admit that (only in conversation with close friends of family), my opinions on TV shows and movies often veer on the hoity-toity side D-: But admitting and acknowledging ones faults is another step towards legitimized adulthood, right?
Continuing with this theme of adulthood, I turn 21 in less than a week- yeesh! No, I'm not doing anything stereotypically exciting, just celebrating as quietly as I probably will like to celebrate by birthday from now on.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!
Hope it's been filled with sunshine, family, friends, and good eats!

For those not in "the know", here's what my Grandpa was staring at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCI2E_WxJmM
Mine is made of a softer vinyl plastic, and has a pastel pink-flowered hue.

Now time for some R&R...rest and relaxation!
It's so nice to be back home... in my room...wearing my fuzzy robe...~___~!
-------------------------------------------------------
Steve has gotten me into listening to the "not-as-weird" songs of The Flaming Lips (as in, the albums, "Clouds Taste Metallic" and "Soft Bulletin"). He gave me their most recent (and extremely experimental) album, "The Terror" and I couldn't listen to more than two of the songs from that album consecutively. Sorry, Steve!
Also, according to my favorite college radio station, the band, "Low" has released their 10th studio album and has recently celebrated 20 years of being together! Geez...I am really behind because I only listened to some of their full albums today. You should check them out too. Very nice, mellow music to work, lounge, etc. to: http://grooveshark.com/#!/artist/Low/5866

Comment on Guest comic: Steve's Super Supp'ah of Another Crazy Comic by Nicolle

See you guys in two weeks time!
Thanks to Steve (aka Scruff) for the guest comic this week!
In the slightest chance you are interested in hearing about my school life, the year is closing pretty smoothly. Two weeks from now, I should be able to manage weekly comics again- yay! ^__^
-------------------------------------------------------
The band Stornoway is on a US tour currently promoting their latest album. I was lucky enough to see them last week. Their show was probably one of my favorite concert experiences in my entire life. The venue was small and intimate (their maximum occupancy was less than 100 persons), and I was able to talk to them before and after they played.
I gushed to Brian (the lead singer) before the show started about my admiration for their true, genuine talent and ability to come this far without signing themselves off to a label.
Afterwards, when I was sitting in a booth, Brian later went up to me (rather than me going up to them), said, "Hey! :-)", talked to me for a bit, and got the rest of his band to come out to contribute to the signing of my CD. It was absolutely surreal. Perhaps it has been due to my lack of "smaller" shows, but I have never had such an intimate meeting with a band/artist I really really REALLY liked.
If you haven't listened to them yet, you should at least check out their latest single: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ns5OAjKQ4Dc#!

Less Than a Month Away 'Till Summer!
I am very lucky to have had such an awesome (and handsome) dance partner to make up for my mediocre "dance skillz". I had a lot of fun and stayed mostly on the dance floor (to avoid the less-than-par food that kept being placed on the tables).
I also really really enjoyed drawing that last panel.
-------------------------------------------
A poppy ditty for you: Rachel Yamagata's "1963"
Also, Stornoway's newest album is now streaming on Grooveshark! http://grooveshark.com/#!/playlist/Stornoway+Tales+From+Terra+Firma/85602591

I am easily distracted by animals. Just saying.
Today I read a very interesting article via TIME magazine on animals and grieving. I was fascinated especially by some of the mourning rituals (especially those of crows and elephants). You all should definitely check it out. It's in the April 15th, 2013 issue (the latest issue from the time of this blog entry).
-------------------------------------------------------
Apologies (though, I am really not that sorry, heehee) for the latest throwback videogame music trend. But, while studying yesterday, I listened to the Katamari Damacy soundtrack.

Springtime!
I hope all of you fellow Christians have a wonderful Easter tomorrow. Mine will probably involve a lot of eating...and then inevitable studying for an exam on Tuesday >__>
--------------------------------------------------------
I found a nice playlist of Pikmin 2 online: http://grooveshark.com/#!/playlist/Pikmin+2/84630804
Pikmin 3 is slated for this summer... apparently it's for the WiiU? Does that mean I can't play it on the good ol' fashioned Wii that I already have? :-o

Finished this comic early because of a couple of out-of-town plans this weekend. It's been so much fun/less frustrating inking and shading digitally! 8-U

They get really sweaty by the end of the video. That's how hard they're singing (or how bad the humidity is in the studio), I suppose!
