Silver Legacy

I’ve never been good at blogging or keeping journals but looking at cockpits site and other fansites has inspired me to draw my own mini comics!

So there you have it.  I promise to start blogging and posting whatever comes to my imagination from here on out.  (Lets hope I keep this up!)

OK…where to begin.  So I’ve always had an idea to do a twist on season one and I still plan on doing it after I finish silver legacy.  That is if I ever finish.  I know its been done and done again but I think i can bring something new to the table.  Sailor Moons now 20 years old and its still one of my favorite child hood shows.  So in a way its a celebratory comic for the 20th anniversary!

I changed the characters look and feel  to fit my taste so I hope no one is bother by the changes.  It won’t be fun if everything remains the same!  On another note I wrote up another mini comic about prince demande!  I probably won’t start working on it until after I get a couple of pages out for silver legacy and i still have other illustrations in mind, but being one of my favorite villians I had to think of something for him!  I wonder what everyone else would like to see me do?  If something sparks my interest I may actually consider doing it.

The last 2 weeks have been crazy!  I’ve been working non stop.  Went to LA for one day for an interview and I just wanted to stay!!! I need a long vacation but what sucks is that I can’t take one! Y?  Cuz holidays are coming up and in the retail industry that means “black out.”  Anyways I reallly need to get chapter one done!!  I’m starting to tone page 8 and sketched page 9.  In the middle I started coloring my fanart of “serenity’s court.”  I used painter tool sai at first but It was not working out at alll.  I guess I still need practice.  I went back to painter and really liked how it looked.

Here just a preview because I’m still coloring.

6 days till new moon! =)

Worked sucked major ass today and I’ve been working non stop! argh I hate my life! just kidding…sorta but I got some good sketches in.  Its been a long me since I’ve drawn a group pic.  I’m actually excited to color this but I’m not really looking forward to the longggg hours!!! I don’t know why I added a crown…I think I just wanted some props to enrich the paper.. I was also going to add the moon sword from the manga but then..I got lazy and I think it would of been tooooo muchh…

So I’m currently at work right now and I’m procrastinating!!  I just finished sketching page 7 but haven’t gotten to toning and everything and that’s well..because I don’t have a scanner right now which totally sucks!!!

Anyways I’ve gotten some good ideas from a few people on developing the plot and characters.  So I’m pretty excited about that…just drawing everything is taking soo long.  I want the first chapter to be over already!!

Also as previously stated I’m sooo not a writer…more of an artist soo please feel free to give me suggestions or notify me of my grammatical mistakes in my comic.  I’ve never written fan fiction but I’ve read a few…This comic is for my own pleasure but its also for everyone else who reads it ( if any of you guys do…) ..haha so I do want it to flow better.   I’m going to try and revamp the dialogue of the first 6 pages tonight.  I’m estimating about 4 more pages or 5 till the end of Chapter one.  I want to start drawing Endymion already!!!

on another note..does anyone watch hanasakeru Seisounhen? ekkk i haven’t watched anime in a really long time and I have to say me likey!

comics I’m currently reading are: Skip Beat, Vampire Knight, and Arata Kangatari…

plus.. NEW MOON is almost out! ekkkkkkkkk

I must say I’m very happy with the new illustration! I had an idea and logo for the site so I’m pretty pleased.  There are still a few things that needs to be fixed but that should be up and running soon.  I’m pretty much done with page 5 and I’m starting to do all the toning for page 6. I’m also trying to look up flash tutorials cuz I have an idea for an intro! well what I’m imagining and what I come up with may not be the end results…especially since I know nothing about flash.  But I have an idea and I hope it turns out all right.  It’s going to be a flash intro page to the home page and it will be a little introduction about the doujinshi.  I’ll have to draw ALOT of illustrations though…kinda looking forward to it and kinda not.  Its going to take a lot of time.  I also have an idea of what song I’m going to use…but to be good I should reallllly finish chapter one before I move onto anything else.. I’m estimating 4 or 5 more pages after page 6 to finish off the chapter! O.0

Ahh drawing a comic is really alottt of work! but I’m getting a kick out of it and hope everyone else enjoys it too!!!!

Since I’m technically challenged..

I’m testing this out.  Rachel set this up! Thanks Rachel!!

I’ve never been good with diaries but I’ll try and keep this up.

Lets see..I have an idea for a background so I’m currently working on that.  Hope everyone likes it! Its taking super long because of all the details and because I always spend extra attention on the face.  Its the first thing I look at!! Also I’m pretty much done with page 4…just need to add the dialogue but since I’m too excited about my new illustration for the background…its been put in the back burner..

oh yea and I’m writing all this at work haha hope they don’t fire me… (knock on wood).. but seriously thanks Rachel for helping me and for the people who commented on my drawings.  I’ve always been embarrassed and uncertain if I would ever draw a doujinshi…I’ve always wanted to but never got past the first page. And what an improvement! I’m on page 5! Lets just hope I continue.  I have to make sure I take my time with the drawings…and take it slow.  Its especially hard because I’m always anxious to get to the next scene!!!

But yea thanks everyone for watching and I hope this site will grow to be a big one.  And of course all the SM fans who wished Naoko went into detail about the past.
