too long (that's what she said...huh!?!?)

hey everyone,

it's been awhile, I have been drawing like nuts, working like nuts, and partying like nuts, that's a lot of nuts, right? hahah

well anyways, I want to update saying thank you for the support I have received thus far from fans thus far and that every comment motivates me to draw even more.

If some of you have not heard, I have backed out of the yen press contest so I can get better at drawing and hopefully in one years time, my drawings will be at a whole another level and that SPOON will be in a different place...different place????

I have a lot of hopes and dreams with this edition and I hope people will stick around for it...

YOONICORN

in times like these...

Hello!

So as usual, I am in a tight spot, drawing SPOON and on top of that, I am ALMOST done outlining for the yenpress contest........which is more difficult than you think since I have to fit it all into 32 pages, lol.

In other news, PROMATEURS, episode 14 is up:

http://www.talkshoe.com/talkshoe/web/talkCast.jsp?masterId=99009&cmd=tc

It is called the "LOST EPISODE" because we recorded this previously, but it didn't record, lol.

You can check out her awesome manga here!

uh...I have a lot of stuff to talk about...mainly, promoting SPOON, I have been thinking more and more of trying to advertise it, but using sites such as smackjeeves and drunkduck seem to be getting me nowhere, but it also could be that the concept is very foreign to people and also the drawings still need work, lol.

But I keep telling myself the first chapter is yet to be finished and it's been only a month, so we shall see where things go in life....so my to do list is as included:

-SPOON

-ONESHOT for yenpress

-YOKAI

-setting up a DEVIANTART page

also, there will be a small hiatus for the podcast since my cohost has gone on vacation...so yeah..that is all for now! back to drawing! haha

YOONICORN

PROJECTS!

Yooooooooooooo! nicorn...just kidding...get it? hahah...anyways...

I have been working like feverish beaver(well yoonicorn) and I have decided to start working on other projects ontop of SPOON..yes, I am crazy!

YENPRESS has initiated a grand tournament:

http://www.yenpress.com/nts-11-12/

Yes, I will be entering this grand ordeal which requires 30 pages of epicness and for it, I have prepared a story, NOT SPOON, but one called O.G.

A story about a grandpa and a kung fu dude...no summary because I suck at summarizing..I feel like my summaries give away spoilers haha: heres a sketch below of the rough character sketch...

The epic contest is due March 30th...2 months...30 pages...O__O, my goal is to finish the rough draft for it by the end January so I can start penciling and stuff.

And my SECOND PROJECT is a child manga called YOKAI, a story about a monster boy with horns and just moved into a neighborhood and is a social outcast...haha

The sketch is just the design for the main character named YOKAI...whose name was inspired by a kid I recently met named...Yokai...hahah.

My goal with YOKAI is to submit it to publishers aiming towards a child hood audience hoping for it to be a kids manga teaching them morals and then eventually becoming an epic adventuring manga allowing kids to grow up with the character, but the market is getting shittier...so I don't know, my goal is to have a couple of pages done by....March?

So really everything is piling up, my real job, and drawing.

I still want to update SPOON 5 times a week since it is just growing and I am pretty much on fire about the story at this point..but I am not sure if it will ever go past being a webmanga due to the strangeness of it..but we shall see...

ok, I've said a looooooot! haha also I am excited to have this awesome guest on our podcast...soon! who you may ask???....SECRET!

YOONICORN

Merry Christmas

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Instead of merging everything together, I removed my most recent SPOON site and am starting from scratch...so please join the site and make it grow!!!!! haha.

January 1st.

YOONICORN.

Christmas break hooray!

Christmas break at my job has FINALLY arrived and I will FINALLY be getting a week long break. So I will be drawing (and coloring) frantically over break getting work done for January's serialization.

I have not fully decided how to post up the pages on SMACKJEEVES..whether through my original site or create an entirely new one...blargh. I also plan to start working on another project called YOKAI, a kids manga idea I have. So I will be quite busy (hopefully).

I have been getting more tips and advice from Miss Christine Chong

http://mayshing.com/

I still have lots to work on such as the fundamentals of drawing (shading, anatomy), so I plan to look into taking classes or practicing sometime in the New Year, so for this edition, I really REALLY want it to be the version that takes off and is finished and I want to grow as an artist.

So please look forward to January 1st!
