More "just got back from work and I'm too tired to be drawing" drawing, but it helps tie me into a work routine, I suppose. Two panels a day and at least a page per weekend is the provisional schedule I'm aiming at while I'm still at t'job, with a step up once the inevitable hulking shadow of unemployment falls across me in a month or so. Although there may be a tad more Playstation involved in any schedule made after that point. And anime.

Watching: Defying Gravity, Metalocalypse
Listening: Japanese show themes, amateur covers of sad alterna-rock songs
Playing: Jak 3 - AGAIN.

One day I will be both fast and finished the jobs I need to deliver to the people I promised I would. This panel isn't even remotely finished, but the rest of the page is at least talking heads, which should go fast enough, hopefully.

Random scribbles to keep the fingers working, mainly revisiting old gag strips I attempted to draw in various styles but couldn't for various lack of ability-related-reasons, but it all helps in the great learning curve.

Unrelated stuffs: Monk is back on, Watchmen: the Game is bloody terrible (though it might just be the two-player mode), and Gaelic is not real football.

Must learn how to draw bears better - anatomy research and figure drawing FAIL.
Nice quiet weekend so far, and barring someone kicking the door in I'll enjoy an early night.

Watching: RAW, Sealab 2021, Brak, Metalocalypse, GI Joe movie for theatres.
Reading: Gen 13: Meanwhile, The Boys

Work work work. Bahr humbug!
Birthday today, which I kept quiet about, but still accrued cards and the always-welcome gift of money that comes with being an unknown quantity to your family. Well, that and Cookstown's last bookshop closed years ago (and reopened as a card shop selling oversized novelty romance gifts, despite the new shop being located directly across the road from a shop selling exactly the same things and that's all you need to know about Cookstown) so they're stumped from the off.
A quiet stout tonight, then tomorrow the whole drawing shebang begins - one day I shall shall actually be finished with the bits and bobs I promised people and can get started on that GN...

Watching: Philanthropist, 10 Things I Hate About You, Dark Blue, Battle beyond the Stars, Day the Earth Caught Fire, Sealab 2021
Playing: Shaun White Snowboarding, Resistance 2
Listening: Youtube amateurs
Reading: Judge Dredd Megazine, 2000ad, War of Kings, Captain America: Reborn, Marvel Adventures Spider-Man
