Like an unseen dodgeball in an echoey Gymnasium!
-Or-
Like a sudden wind storm at a children's play park!

Which ever you prefer-
I'm back!
I'd like to say '-with avengance', but I have nothing to be vengeful for...

Did you miss me?
......
...Did you even know I was gone?

Anywho!
So, if you read my last journal, I said that I was going to Cornwall to do lots of art!

...Yes?

...well, unfortunatley, I didn't have as much time as I would have liked, what with all the travelling around I did!

We went everywhere in Cornwall;
-Hayle Beach,
-St. Ives, (So many art shops!)
-Land's End, (Breath taking sea views)
-Sennen Cove, (A nice lil' port town!)
-Lizard Point, (Land's end- only with much higher cliffs)
-Penzance, (The Legendary Pirate Town!)
-Newquay, (...ummm...)
-Falmouth (...errrr...)
-The Eden Project... (It was so inspiring! Be eco green! C'mon!)

That's alot of places for just a week, aye?
Meaning less time to do Art!

All is not lost!

Being me-
The AMAZING Lavoakah and Mr. Skulleh combined,
I managed to do a grand total of;
ONE Copic Marker Piece,
ONE Inked Piece,
ONE Pencilled Piece and
(Here it comes...)
THIRTY THREE Manga Pages! Of increasing quality!

But!
That's my personal count from where I left off the evening before my escapade to Cornwall...

So! Let's see...
Considering that I have only uploaded 44 pages so far...
and I have done up to page 94 in my book...
that's... (easy maths)
50 pages of Manga to upload to you guys!


...but YES,
I KNOW they're only pencil roughs, but it's the hardest part!
Y'know, WRITING the darn thing...
So, please don't ask where the inks are...

I'm having too much fun writing it!

I've nearly finished "Phase: THREE"...
Once that's done, I have one more left to lead up to the end of the first Volume- "Phase: FOUR"!
And since I have Summer Holidays coming up, I'll try extra hard to have the rough of said "Volume ONE" done before they start...
So that I can either;
Ink in the pages as they are,
or
Transfer/redraw them onto a professional scale in the extra time...

...What do you think?

Should I invest my time in Inking in the small scale A5 roughs...
OR
Should I finally go Pro... or at least, attempt to?
(Meaning, A3 sized on specially bordered paper)

I'm reluctant to big them up to Pro as;
-I'm a big sissy when it comes to larger scale manga, (Srsly)
-It'll be harder to get them uploaded onto DA-

That's my main worry.

I like the lil' A5 scale of the pages because I can upload the pages two at a time... and I like how it feels like a real volume of Manga... and I can carry it everywhere...
But, alas, one must go pro at some point...
*MetalHanzo!
I need some advice!

Hrrrgh...
I'm just thinkin' aloud here...

Oh! Speaking of the Legendary *MetalHanzo...
I've comissioned the pro Manga Artist that is he to do an professional Inked piece of art of 'Beelzebub Gula'!
And another pencilled piece- once I decide what I want him to draw...

I'm SO excited about that!
Tomorrow he says it shall be done!

Check out his gallery- it's well worth it!

Anyway, I'm rambling...

Watch out for new pages of 'Rebirth'-
I have some time right now, so I'll go about uploading the next bunch of pages!

It feels good to be back!
