Ayy you're very welcome.

I'm doing pretty good mate! Still working on chapter details, and illustrating characters for a least 
three seasons worth. About done with the characters, and I'm bullet pointing the parts in chapters 1-5.
Two acts in total. Currently on Act.1 of chapter 4, so it won't be much longer till I get to sketching pages again. ^^

I'll make another update pretty soon when I'm done with the fifth chapter. How's it going for you as well?

Oh okay cool!

Sounds like you got a petty good plan there.

Also are the chapters going to be as long as chapter 2 or..?

Is there going to be a lot of characters in the next chapter of your comic?

sorry if I'm asking too many questions.. xD

and okay, also I'm doing fine, just been busy with school and trying to come up with new characters to draw and I'm still working on the script for my comic, bit by bit, I sometimes have trouble coming up with an ending for a chapter, but it's going good so far and I don't like that it sometimes snows where I live, I want it to be summer already.. xD

DogSmilez In reply to MrLeoKnight [2019-02-28 03:10:33 +0000 UTC]

Haha oh no about 20-30 pages minimum, the longest would probably be about
40 or 50 on occasion if I need to extend something a little more, like a pivotal plot chapter or 
the end of a season chapter. Oh no you're good lol I'm glad you're asking questions,
and I can't wait to get started to give you something to read again.  ^^  Well since I'm
starting it completely over starting with the prologue there won't be as much, but they'll
be a few characters that never appeared in the prologue before.

Ah good, good, glads all is well friend. Yeah that's always the tough bit coming up with characters,
yes, yes yeah focusing on that script will save you time, personal experience lol. Ah I feel you, its tricky
even with me and my chapters. They work like a sequence sometimes, most of them don't resolve in one
chapter and continue on for two or maybe three, so I try to work out the ending before I even start it
cause it has to end with something.  Lol I hear ya, yeah its freezing  where I live, a little sun wouldn't hurt now and again. X3

(A little tip with chapter endings: Take writing a chapter like leveling up once in a game, you know how its gonna end, and
starting it is just based on what you do to get that level aka the ending. Lets say the main character in Mushroom Strike
gets lost in a cave in a chapter, well there's only so many ways it can end based on where the story is at.
He can't die if its in the beginning so he has to live,  so he's either: A.) Escaped himself/Escaped with help from  friend or Foe
B.) He's still lost still till next chapter or a twist with C.) He escapes only to get lost in a bigger cave. XD )

Oh okay okay.

Oh right I almost forgot that your re-doing the prologue of your comic.

And Yup can't wait to read it, your characters are really cool!

But also take your time on it, no need to rush, don't break your wrist! OAO

I'm still amazed that you did so many pages for chapter 2 AND with a few side comics in between.

Hey at least I'm not the only one that sometimes has trouble when writing endings and drawing new characters, but thanks very about that tip, it is kind of like a leveling up in a video game, I don't know about doing a twist ending though, but I can see what you mean and also thanks, this was very helpful!

Haha its all good mate.

Aw thanks again man, I'm glad you've took a liking to them, I can't wait to get to the rest of the cast!  
Lol will do, I'll definitely not do that 300 pages thing ever again. XD  

Haha I know right that's what patience, and passion will result in...and a tad bit of insanity.  
It's all conditioned me to just get through comic pages now with no worry. ^^

Hehe yeah bro you're not the only one believe me, no matter what I end up drawing I still have problems with
specific stuff myself, so never feel bad about having weakness. You're very welcome my friend,
I tried to come up with an example that you'd probably resonate with more haha to the best of my ability. But I'm always 
here to help!

Oh thank you so much Vos that means a lot to me!
There was many times I was myself lol X3. But every page I finished
was another step closer to finish it I thought, so I just keep that mentality,
it's helped out for sure. ^^
I'm very glad to hear from you again, and hope every things
going well on your end to.

Pretty good, pretty good, learning all these digital art techniques, and applications
have been very helpful over the months. Starting to get things in gear for 2019 myself,
social media spots that I'll be frequent on, learning about printing sizes, commissioning,
and posting more often again myself yeah. This comic chapter took up a lot of time getting into
it this year, but I gained more information and skill in the meantime so that can't go unappreciated.

Thanksgiving was pretty chill as usual, lost one cousin in the family to a home robbery not
too long ago so that sucked for a while, but life goes on, and we come out stronger from it.
Been real heart warming to see people come together and fight back in these times. How was your's Vos? ^^

2019 is gonna be pretty awesome for us amateur artists, and creators.
The God of War director Corey Barlog gave a speech at the vga's saying
"every creator from games, music,and comics keep creating and pushing yourself to your dreams,
to create that magic we all share", and got me motivated for next year. I can't wait to see your
art again Vos, I think we'll make some interesting steps in the coming year for sure. <3

vosqueen In reply to DogSmilez [2018-12-17 19:52:34 +0000 UTC]

Things are okay and not okay at the same time, like a roller coaster, like an endless loop.

whats to learn about printing sizes? I don't know what that is and whats it for.

Are you going to be doing commission here or elsewhere? it would be very nice to see you getting paid for what you love to do. I was also thinking of doing commissions but I don't believe in myself or my art to be honest, I just don't see it going that far, commission wise or especially career wise.

That's is very sad to hear about your cousin but everything will be okay dogsmilez, it sucks to hear, are you doing better now from that tragedy?. My dad has diabetes and hes really skinny, I don't like to think tragic thoughts on his condition tho because I can end up in a dark place :/. I ask god to heal him but sometimes things don't work out the way you want them to. My thanksgiving was fine, normal, we sat down and ate the big feast and it was good

that's a really nice motivational right there, surely I know you will keep creating fun comics and ill keep creating O.C's. making o.cs is my passion and heart, I have like 221 o.cs now and I know them all by name I memorized their names, so if you hold one of their pics up ill know what its name is XD. I have them in a small backpack and hide it under my bed. by the time im 50 its going to be a very full backpack.
For sure there will be interesting steps for 2019, im glad we can still talk dogsmilez so lets keep drawing because its one of those nice things in the world that feels right :3.

DogSmilez In reply to vosqueen [2018-12-20 21:51:58 +0000 UTC]

Ah I see I feel you ,yeah its sort of like that with myself to
like a seesaw. Hope for nothing but the best will come out of it.  

Oh its just something for me, like if I started commissions or a patreon and people would like
physical items instead of digital. Framing for example, I'd have to crop pictures much smaller
than the frame itself, but it seems the sizes just scale higher than one another the bigger the frame.
 Ex: With a 8 x 10 frame size the image would have to be 5 x 7, or a 11 x 14 frame would need the image
be 8 X 10. But that's just for pictures. Posters, and banners etc. all have these different print sizes to.
I'm just not good with this stuff lol, this would probably be pretty basic for most ppl. XD

Yeah on dA, probably instagram, patreon and twitch. I'd always wanted to do it but wasn't to sure about it myself.
Aw don't say that, I do. Now if you're just not into art anymore, its not for everyone I understand in that case.
But keep pushing yourself if not, and its just confidence. Everyone starts a level and some can jump farther and others,
but they all walk the road of progression. It doesn't have to be super detailed work, it can be simple stuff, but practicing on 
your weaknesses now and again while picking up on other skills can really push your far. <3

Oh its no problem, yeah I've let it pass a while back. Just sucks on both ends y'know, one gone and two kids in jail that'll never
see the light of day again. I have your dad in my prayers as well Vos hope things goes well with him. Fate works differently
in times like that, but don't stake your mind into it yeah, it can poison your soul. I'm glad all was well past thanksgiving, wish you
many more good times.

Haha that's awesome! Wish I could even memorize the few I have, its so hard XD.  It'll be a good time for sure, I'm happy to still hear from ya now
and again myself.Yeah lets keep it going Vos, there's endless amount of things we can improve on and perseverance will help us down the road.

due to a robbery, so I feel for ya. X(

Hope you can get a new one to fill the void, had a kitten die on

Oh, no! I'm so sorry for your loss, Russ. 
I hope you have great memories of them.
I'm here for you if you need to talk at all. 

I'm probably going to wait a few. It took a 
lot out of me losing her like that. I had her for 18 years
so it would feel wrong getting another cat. I did make a
cute ornament of her for our Christmas tree and supposedly
her spirit is still at my parent's house. Everyone claims they
hear her knocking on the door and feels them laying on their
chest. So, knowing that seems to really help us. 

Same to you, as well.

Thank you very much. Yeah it happened so fast, but I'm more upset about
it all than anything, cause three lives were taken in reality, him, and
the two 17-18 yr old shooters that will spend the rest of their
lives in prison, for money they'll never get. smh. 

Ah yeah that wouldn't be right, forgive me. XO.
That's a long good life for her, I'm sure she was glad to have a good 
owner, and one that would still have her spirit be welcomed in you're home.
She's still present and welcoming to everyone else as well it seems, and that's a good feeling
to have for sure.

You're most welcome. I'm sorry to hear that he lost his life and you had to lose a beloved
family member over something as trivial as money. You can never replace those lost 
souls. I hope that those kids in prison have to suffer with guilt for the rest of their lives. 
I know it's definitely not the justice your cousin deserves, but still. *hugs* 

Oh, no worries at all. I've had the suggestion thrown around because it's supposed 
to "fill the void". While there is obviously a void, it's not as bad as I expected because 
I knew it was her time to go. Her memories fill that void and I'm grateful for that.
For now, I am taking care of strays on the street and ensuring other living beings
get the love that she got from me. 
I'm glad she was happy until her last breath.  
It's quite interesting, honestly, to have her there with us in spirit. Gives a new meaning
to the phrase when people say that. 

I appreciate you talking to me about this. I definitely do feel more at peace with her passing.

Ah that's awesome, glad your able to keep the good times alive and its
been helping. Yeah for real, its so true especially when you have someone 
that close to you. <3

I really appreciate it, Rus. You've been an awesome friend. Having
you to talk to has really helped me out. I'm going to make a tribute to 
Charlie by putting her in my game. If you'd like, I'd be more than happy
to have a character named after your cousin as a tribute as well.
