Happy Halloween

The Pirate Metahari!

We had a successful and fantastic weekend. Lots of video games, costumes, friends and fun. The party was Saturday and everyone seemed to get into wearing costumes, taking silly pictures and laughing a whole lot. We ended the night by playing Halo 1 till about 4:30 (before you factor in the time change.) Wow, I love that game.

For more crazy pictures… like this one…

We’ll be going through and adding more titles and descriptions later.

On Sunday, Studio Anti Thesis gave another presentation at Waldenbooks at the East Towne Mall. We spoke on making zines. Our handout was actually a tiny little zine, with our speech points on each page and little illustrations. It was very well received.Holy Cow, were we surprised to see about 40some people there to hear us speak!The manager, Susan, had us judge the costume contest. There were some awesome costumes and it was really hard to choose! We gave the person who dressed up as Die from Dir En Grey grand prize, a ninja girl from Inuyasha was 1st runner up, and a Seraphim from Megatokyo was our 2nd runner up choice. We gave each of the winners one of our buttons, and Waldenbooks gave them gift certificates. Wow! It was hard to choose only 3. We gave all the contestants a free sticker. So, more pictures from waldenbooks starting here http://flickr.com/photos/metahari/57867085/in/set-449213/ in my Waldenbook Talks photoset.

Afterwards, most of us(ray,pete,me,steve,allie) went back to my place, and we played Mario Kart Double Dash for a while, on Ray’s projecter projecting up on the wall of the basement. So much fun!

Look what i did this weekend. :)Serenity has eaten my brain.

I also finally finished Psychonauts for Xbox this weekend. Very well done game. Cute, great art, music and story. Highly recommended. This weekend also had a highly enjoyable D&D game. We don’t play on the weekends very often, so it’s a treat to play till 1.

My comic page 13 was inked on thursday, and I started the toning, but got a bit distracted by Kaylee. Hope to get some more toning done tonight.

We’re celebrating Mom’s birthday tonight, though her birthday is tommorrow.

Page 13, in progress

October5
Finally got back to this. Page 13 is about 60% pencilled. Mostly just need to tighten up the first panel, and then it’ll be ready to ink. I’ll be working more on it tommorrow night, it’d be real nice to finish the pencils tommorrow night. Then I could ink on friday and finish it up over the weekend.

It’s interesting to see how my style is changing. I am happy with Mercedes hands, trying hard to improve there generally.

Plan to finish – page 16 by the end of the year. between that and my 12 illustrations goal, I have more than enough to do. no need to push myself further. At the end of 2005, I’ll have done more illustrations and comic pages than ever before in 12 months time. feels good.

Quickie Weekend Update

October3

Saw Serenity twice - WOO!
We worked on comics friday night after the movie. Meridith got to watch, Kim, Maciek and I, all via isight and ichat. K&M held their cats up to share with her, and she held her cat up. It’s meowing freaked out Ura a little bit, who couldn’t figure out how the new cat was hiding in my computer.

I worked on comics saturday till late, page 13 is 60-70% pencilled, yay.

Also, I found some art I made 15 years ago in 5th or 6th grade and some from junior high, including some furry type art (kitty girls and racing horses) and what appears to be star trek fanart…(riker with beard) surprisingly absent are elves.

Then, finally got to the store for basic groceries, detergent ect. The great toilet paper shortage of 2005 has been averted. Went for a walk late last night, which felt good and made it easier for me to get to sleep.

The movie did indeed rock, we have plans to see it again sometime this week.
You should go too!
