Oh the Characters We Can Make

nearmeIf you’ve been hanging around long enough, you should then know that one of my planned projects is Ninja Maid Academy. It’s going to be a comedy, of course, about a secret academy high in the mountains that our protagonist stumbles across one night while going to Grandma’s house.

I’m ages away from production, but this doesn’t mean I’m sitting on my fanny about it. I have to get ready, and the things I have to do to get ready are pretty extensive because I’ll be using 3D much like I do for The Heavenly Bride.

I’ll be using old 3D tech, because the current tech doesn’t meet the look of the thing. I’ve had to learn some things as a result, and it’s a bit harder these days because the tutorials are all but gone.

Currently it’s my hope that when The Heavenly Bride ends the final chapter, I can drum up enough support to go back to making more than one story again. I would like to dedicate a day a week to Akashik, time to Ninja Maid Academy, and I’m not sure on the third. Possibly to Fionnuahla, which would contrast the constant comedy I’d have to crank out and give me something of balance. Of course I would also like to have a day a week to dedicate to The Demonkeeper’s Daughter, but that’s a novel and is something I try to give time to anyway no matter what.

Anyway, here’s a sneak peak of style. Hope you like.

Master of Style

I’m feeling rather excited today. I’ve been planning a side story to put in the next Heavenly Bride chapter book and really wanted to use 3D technology – not because I’m lazy, because I can tell you that using 3D is just as hard if not harder as drawing by hand. I just saw some real possibilities with it, ones that people who use 3D don’t usually take. With new manga shaders coming out for Daz3D, which I use, and other things the windows were wide open. Except I can’t afford to get the shaders, so started to experiment to see if I could do things without the shaders.

The answer is yes, to some extent, I can. If I want their look I could still buy the shaders, but right now I just don’t feel like I have to. I have discovered a look all of my own, one that I’m going to use for this side story. And for Avenia – I’m really excited over that one.

The side story isn’t meant to be very serious, and this is a serious looking style. But I think it won’t hurt matters.

Gosh I need to win the lottery so I can concentrate on comic books alone. LOL

I reopened the Fan Pup forum, attaching it to Heavenly Bride. It’s a members only forum. It will post the next page of Heavenly Bride in advance, have sneak previews, some sexy nekkid stuff, and hopefully will encourage pups to talk to me a bit. Yeah, it’s a membership situation. I haven’t finished arguing with the membership software yet, but if you’re curious it’s at: http://www.theheavenlybride.com/members
