Artist's Comments

As alot of you *hopefully* know by now, my hand has been in a bracing for the last 6 months and I have *literally* driven myself batty from not drawing and watching DVDs till 2am cause I was so BORED. Yuk... Never thought I'd get sick of anime!! X(

Anyways- I'm on a thumb only cast now, and the strength in my wrist is FINALLY back. I can hold the strerring wheel on my car now (YAY!!!!! XD ) and I can hold a pen.

Hold an pen.

HOLD A PENCIL!!!!!

Yeah, I couldn't help it. It's only A5, so I didn't max it out or anything, but I had to draw something, and BOY am I sooooo much happier!!! [emoticon] I over do the profile of Alex smiling, but hey- I got to warm back into art again to do more comic pages!! Before Vic guts me!! YAY! Joyousness...

Hey, that’s really good news, I’m happy for you. And you can draw with your thumb still in a cast? Seems you can, cause your Alex picture looks really good and I like how you have done the reflection on the sword.

Sort of- I can grip the pencil, and move my wrist- the mobility and strength finish at my bottom knuckle bone. THAT is imobilised. I can draw, but it puts strain on that joint, and I can't apply as much pressure and it took AGES to get that quality. To get a complex and small details pic? Na- I'd do damage then. This has big curves which wasnt' too bad. [emoticon] Thanks for the after thought though ^^

Oh, I see, take it easy then and be careful not to overdo it. I hope your hand is healed completely soon and you can draw as detailed and as much as you want. [emoticon]

Me too ^^; My editor for the comic is seriously poking me about getting art done. I need it ALL done by Christmas... That may be pushing it with my social life.... Specially since my writers haven't finished writing it XD
