After I got my ass in gear and got back to working on Kissing Carrion #2, I motivated myself by buying the two books on the right – Making Comics by Scott McCloud (which frankly, makes me feel slightly inadequate, but damnit, it’s my first full length comic AND I’ve been battling various issues while drawing it) and under that is How to Make Webcomics by a gaggle of successful webcomic artists (It has such a can-do positive tone I don’t think I can read more than a few paragraphs at a time without wanting to slit my wrists. Baby steps, yes?).
As for the comic itself, I always am amused when I look back to the first page, to see how much confidence I’ve gained in using lines and just winging it when my reference is less than adequate.
I’ve drawn the two panels on the page on the right today, pencils to inks. I have rough layouts up to page 30 now, so I’m good to just draw without too much thinking until then.

Most for my own reference, I guess, my list of projects:
School:
Musicals paper (for thursday)
Study for makeup exam in China
Figure out if I have enough credits to graduate. (That’s a phone call thing)
Visual communication class assignments: Tree comic strip, Tree concept poster
Figurative drawing: 3-4 oil paintings making up a series
Comics:
Kissing Carrion #2 (I will finish it!)
Journal comic – I have more pages pencilled! Need to ink, scan, upload.
Couple of Hamlet pages, for shits and giggles
Illustration:
Pass the Parcel illos
Rat cards
Fibre stuff:
Knitting: Socks
Crochet: Floral lace belt
Spinning: Bulky Corriedale, Bling-bling wool (finish and ply), spindle whorls (polymer clay yay!)
Note that this list does not include anything that would actually bring me some stuff like… money… in. It also does not include drawing random fanart, or knitting baby stuff for my friends’ babies.
Maybe I should make a sort of program-timeline-thingie to help me plan out stuff, allocating time to the important things, but without forgetting the REALLY important stuff, such as occasional lunch at Street Food with yberry, and Stitch n Bitch night.
Did I take on too much stuff or do I just really suck at managing my productivity?
