Long time since I posted anything here or did very much on DA at all. It was partly because I was dead. You see I only feel alive when I'm drawing, creating, making films. The last is now closed to me. And in retaliation I ceased doing the others too. And so I died. But of late, I have been drawing again. I've joined a course. I'm coming back to life. Hopefully I will find time to post some new stuff here. In betwixt and between my daily drudgery of existence.

I don't know what possessed me to choose to make my latest comic in classic Ligne Claire http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligne_claire. Grrrrr It is soooooo hard. For someone who has zero free time, it's the worst possible option. Every detail and background has to be line-accurate. The colours must be pleasing, just this side of pastel and far away from gaudy brights. The characters must be anatomically correct and beuatifully drawn. This is actually harder to do as part-cartoonish than ultra-realistic (for me at least, realism comes easily to my pencil). And the workflow is killing. I draw the roughs in pencil, then draw over them again usi

... this ugly animated gif of Lady Gaga appeared from nowhere :( I'm trying to resolve this - if not - it might be goodbye to Deviantart for ever. EDIT: April FOOL!!.... or rather.... moi! I've been aprilfooled! Bleh. Yuk yuk yuk. Could I not have had some cute bloke instead? Why can't we choose whose icon we get?? SULK.
