The watercooler: a place to chat

@bronte448 thanks!

Had to cut my page coloring short(got 4 of the 5 pages done this weekend) coz I needed to start packing so that I won't be stressed doing it at the last minute(though I DO consider this "the last minute", so- STRESSED). I might be able to color this last page over the next few days between packing stages...once I get this last page of my current batch done, then there is only FOUR PAGES left- in which I can finish after the move. My desk/computer area will be the last thing I disassemble & pack up, so I might be able to get the page done in time.

Though I'm stressed, I'm so happy to be moving- TIRED of being in this cramped ass apartment. We were trying to move in 2020 but the pandemic killed that...once the move is done and I've settled down(which probably won't be until after the book is sent to print) I think I'm gonna go ahead and get Crunchyroll premium; I miss watching anime the past few weeks- Boruto and MHA are on break on Hulu, and I need to watch something.

Destress:

Welp, got MOVED! Put my computer/art desk together, but havent hooked everything up yet...should have things up & running by the end of the weekend; unpacking is gonna take some time.

So relieved that THIS ordeal is OVER...but come next week, I gotta work on & finish those last four pages!

My revised business cards were supposed to have delivered to my day job on Friday; I'll see if they arrived when I go back in on Monday.

[Shanny8]

UPDATE: Computer/art station is up & running..! Formatted/remastering pencil fill-ins on the final 4 Clique #4 pages; will start on inks tomorrow night.

Got my business cards- they look okay...I just feel that Vistaprints' quality has went down over the past few years: the logo on the back didn't bleed to the edge like I wanted it to...but their template jacked that up.

Got a good bit of boxes unpacked and stuffs put away; the day gig is still having network issues- which limits how much work I can get done. I hope they get it fixed soon coz I do not wanna be backed up with a week's worth of email requests.

Help I drew Dream in his crown in this panel when he's supposed to be in head bandages

My older brother tried to convince my mom to let him eat dumpster candy.
My little brother tore up pull-ups and threw them around his room.
Boys are freaking gross sometimes

Colored 2 of the 4 remaining pages; about to start on #3...bought a new clothes basket since I threw out my old one when we moved(all 4 handles had broke); trying to get to a couple of my [6] remaining boxes to put away. Cant put away a few others until I get the cube shelf that I need(want).

[Lazy-Gamer]

Boys are gross, huh? Wait until you hear about my sister when she was a kid.

She used to chew oreo's until they were liquid in her mouth, then spit it in her hand, then slurp it back up and repeat.
That's just one thing though. I'd share more but I already feel like barfing just typing that. lol

[bronte448]

Still not as bad as freaking DUMPSTER CANDY

[Kelheor]

I mean, if the candy was still in the package and that's your kitchen dumpster... xD

@Lazy-Gamer ewww, that's some crazy bird meal xD

[bronte448]

Nope, dumpster in the alley. Wrapper don't matter if it's as absorbent as Smarties

[Kelheor]

It's natural selection, if he lives it's a favourable characteristic

FINISHED coloring ALL the pages for Clique #4; trying to decide if I'm going to start lettering tonight. I am tired of staring at this tablet screen- been rewatching more episodes of Bleach.

[Shanny8]

Formatted 12 pages for lettering...unfortunately, I've gotten a bit rusty since the last time I lettered a comic(2019); having to re-learn some stuffs that I forgot how to do

[Shanny8]

Taking my old laptop to work to do some lettering there- especially since certain parts of our network has been down for a minute. Might as well utilize some of that free time to get this done- lol...

Good thing I still have a copy of Illustrator on it.

[angie_draws_things]

Oh dog, I am hungover. I am never drinking again.*

*...until tonight, but I'll swap out the rum with blueberry makgeolli.

[Shanny8]

FINISHED the lettering on Clique #4- just trying to finish up a promo piece, then I can send the files/pages off to print; I should get the comic back before MomoCon..!

[Shanny8]

Spent Saturday doing errands and tasks- putting up blinds on some exposed windows in the kitchen, the door to the back yard/deck, and the door to the carport...cleaned the bathroom, then went to IKEA and snagged some wooden hangers for my hooded sweatshirts and closet fresheners so that the closet unit in my room wouldn't have my clothes smelling old.

Then came home and cooked some homemade chili(also did laundry yesterday as well). My plans for sprucing up my place and area are on schedule; just gotta have patience coz I need to make sure I'm paying my bills on time and creating that opportunity.

So today I'm not doing anything but trying to finish up this promo piece & mesh all the lettering and art together for the book, so that I can send it off to print. After this I'm going to try to whip out 1 of the 2 prints that I want to have done for MomoCon...if I can get it done by the end of the week gonna send it off to print on a rush order.

I am thinking of changing my story drastically but I am not sure if I should delete what I have already posted. I just wanted to update the ages of the characters, drop the school setting, have povs, and do mature scenes.
What do you all think I should do? Please provide suggestions

[Shanny8]

IT IS DONE- sent Clique #4 to print; hopefully I should get it back before the con next weekend.
