Just wanted to kick that silly April's Fools entry off my page ^^; but yeah, some updates as I am.

Last night, took the bus to my parents's town and I'm staying there (here =p)  till next Sunday. My life had been quite moved lately, little by little inserting myself in the laboral field and have something quite interesting between my eyes. But I prefer to not give details before I get it (if I get it, that is), not because of some sort of superstition, but because talking about it creates expectatives ^^-

As for my muses, I've been giving them a bit of a break, as I have tons of ideas but I'm rather lacking inspiration to put them on paper. I've brought a few wips, so I should be completing a couple of pictures while I am here :)
Call me a fool if you want, but been blue the entire weekend since I took out my two favourite RP OCs from the group. Not a matter of "you could have kept them", it just felt like the right moment to do it, and no, I don't regret it. But still saddened me, impossible not to, I grow really attached to my chars.

Been thinking on my stories alot lately... it's funny, but Awka is currently not that far away from its finale. And I still hadn't uploaded a single page to the Internet. My main problem had always been technical. fist it was lack of scanner, then my scanner cropping the pages (scanning one in two parts is impossible. angle always goofs up). The first pages, from 2010, are awkwardly drawn, and I see some pacing issues, but I'm quite happy with that story nonetheless. So chances are I will put it online some day (maybe revamping a few pages, working with pencils alone is so much faster than in full color!), albeit, know that I'll highly likely not use DA for this comic ^^; in fact I'm leaning to share it only with people who is close to me, or especifically interested in the comic (like all the people who had noted me about it). I may be getting "internet old", but I'm not interested on having as many readers as possible ^^ IDK, it may be my "technophobia", but I'm not a fan of the excessive publicness of most things online.
I've even considered the Deep Web for it, not kidding xD (but yeah, that idea had been scrapped a long time ago, lol. too impractical and maybe not too safe either)

And I have to catch up with Guyra... I really have to. I'll make and effort and with some luck the next page may come up soon.

As for new projects, I feel this year I'll be pretty much settling down. While if I'd write That's Freedom Guyra nowadays it would be vastly different to thge script I wrote in 2007, I feel it would be sort of unfair to revamp that story (once I finish it! xD), the truth is that the (previously scrapped) story during his adult days is beggining to re-appear in my mind, and i've been taking note of some things :) for when? I don't know, but I'm already aware that I'm not very fast, and I don't really want to hurry anything.
And also, i'm beggining to play with story ideas, in a completely different setting (I'm thinking Spain or Italy, and in a world with humans present) in a story for these two RP characters, Lemontree and Thistle (names I'll most likely change), as well as other LA char ideas that never made it (such as Nube's "granny" sta.sh/0k3w5xtn6za because yeah.. attachment and I feel that they still have alot of potential. Admittedly, I still don't know how to RP properly and have too many ideas I'd like to put on paper.

I doubt many people will read this entry, it's all over the place xD but kudos to those who did :) I'm still vastly disorganised, but yeah, I think once I have a stable work it will be much easier to manage my times, and pacing with stories ^^

Volví a aparecer (?) (aparezco y desaparezco de acuerdo con la facu jaja)

Si alguna vez lanzás Awka para "lectores" aunque no te conozcamos, yo lo quisiera leer. :)
