04/28/2019: Finally, I am nearly done with the comic. The next issue on Initiation Trials is to get both my skills and color practice together. I have gotten a lot of my work done. I need to get one page a day done whether sketch or inked and colored, and I would be able to get to complete at least one a month or more. This is what I would like to do so I can complete my work at a steady pace instead of creating more problems for myself with other distractions. So maybe one more week and I will have this next issue out. Things are looking good right now, but it is time to go even further.
I Got Better
04/20/2019: I am much more comfortable drawing now as I’ve created more art work at a faster rate. I have made several colored art pieces this week without having to give up too much time. With that said, I am looking forward to completing more of my work. My next comic issue Initiation Trials should be out by May 1st and I am mad at myself for not having it done earlier. I am on page 5 currently which is almost half way. I should make it soon. Depending on my speed, I should make one page a day and one comic a month. That’s just another goal to work on. Wish me luck.
PS: here is some fan art of RWBY’s Yang Xiao Long I call War Mane Yang

Faster Artwork
04/07/2019: I have gotten faster in my artwork and have a better grasp of drawing my lines. This is perfect for the next few steps in the future. Things are jumping off smoothly as my skills grow. I am currently trying to follow an artist named Xa-xa-xa (on DeviantArt) to improve my body portions on my characters since they have a similar style to mine. I am also following another artist on youtube called the TheJettyJet Show to learn more about art and clip studio paint. I love the work these artists do, and they aren’t the only ones that teach but are great to leads for growth.
Working More
03/30/2019: Well this is embarrassing. I forgot to post something after the video. I finished a video detailing my long over due thoughts on Hollow Knight. Play it. Either way, made some fan art and will be working on some character designs as I knock out these stories. That is the plan so far.
Youtube Art Senseis I Follow
03/23/2019: I may not be Vincent Vangogh or anything, but I like to learn from some of my favorite artists on youtube.
Kuzomari, MikeyMegaMega and Markrilly are some of favorite manga artists to study from. For american comic, I usually look at TheBoxOfficeArtist or VZA for American comic book styles since their art is crazy detailed and focused.
On a personal note of how I am trying to evolve, I follow Xa-xa-xa for their Wakfu art on deviant art, Bleach for simple, but defined, black and white detail and the Teen Titans cartoon style with a bit of Soul Eater.
Two other artists I follow are Baylee Jae and Jazza. Those two are fun and cartoony, with experimental styles I can enjoy. Makes me just wanna break out and test my skills.
I recommend all of these artists for anyone just trying to get better
Back On The BALL!
03/10/2019: SO I’ve been away for far too long and I need to get myself together. I have one review for the movie Captain Marvel and it actually has commentary. Along with that, I also did some art, fixed my computer and was able to get some work with a new digital pad. Going to watch more Kuzomari vids to practice.
Good News Everyone
02/16/2019: I still have some work to do, but I will have the next comic out possibly within a week. Also, Alita Battle Angel is possibly the best American anime adaptation I've seen so far. Not only is it action-packed, but despite the PG 13 edit, it keeps to the story and maintains a majority of its continuity. I do hope that all the old anime fans and new ones will see this and enjoy.
More Art
02/09/2019: Yes. I am feeling on fire right now and getting work done. I have a comic coming sometime next week and getting more art done. A good way to keep track is to try and make one art piece and video every week and the comics 2 weeks to a month. This will give me time to create at least one comic and more art in a steady and non-cluttered pace.
More to Come
02/04/2019: Level up. I have grown in skill and character volume. Aside from a few side projects, the comic will be done soon if I do a page a day and practice some more of the art. It is merely time to let small investments grow over time. More things to consider as well.
Switched It Up
01/26/2019: Kingdom Hearts 3 is just around the corner and I have a lot of playing to do. I am going to switch up the days I work on these posts just for a chance to keep things going on a day where I can get most of my personal work done. After this month, and depending on how soon I complete two more art pieces., this will be the last time I work on RWBY artwork. Yeah, I’m a fan, but there is so much I can pour into my own growth and projects that tributes are some what unneeded. To the future.
