December has been quite busy so far. I'm not going to complain, as it's always better to have work than to not. My plate is quite full, however, and I find I have to keep postponing non-client related things. Like updating the website, unfortunately. I'd like to have SOMETHING new up by the end of the year, but no promises.
Jeff and I did manage to get together a proposal for a comic book series, finally.
Here's the link to a low-res pdf of the pages. It's about 4mb because of the cover, just fyi.
I've got quite a bit of drawing to do, but design and web work keep crowding it. I'd rather be drawing, on the whole, but illustration just doesn't have the margins that web work does. Especially for a traditional pen-and-ink guy like myself. I need to concentrate more on color - a New Year's resolution coming up, methinks. I am quite fond of a narrative page I'm workin on right now for a book called "The A-Z of Horror." It's zombies, luckily enough (one of my favorite monsters) and the first page allows me to get as icky as I want to be with it. I hope to have it done by the end of the week and I'll post it up when it's done.
I'm redesigning a site for a client using CSS in the same way that I'm redesigning mine (although much quicker, you can be assured). It's starting to feel a little easier as I get used to it (I know usually remember that the attributes for the Margin property run clockwise from the top). The amount of control you are given is fantastic and I've started to see that designs I used to approach with trepidation are now emminently do-able with CSS.
I have had some little time to play GUN for the Xbox, so obviously I do have SOME free time at night to engage in non-work distractions. I finished it yesterday and had more fun playing the game than I had any right to. It's ridiculous and violent and so very non-PC, but maybe that's it's charm.
Anybody else watching
The Triangle on Sci Fi this week? Moe and I are enjoying it, flaws and all. Kinda wish it was a regular series, as it would fit quite nicely into the slot recently vacated by
Threshold, which started with promise and quickly became stale.
Alright, enough rambling. Seeya later.
