CHAPTER 2: DONE
PAGE COUNT: 97
I feel really....really....exhausted! It's very mentally exhausting! But they all look really cool, especially some of the effects I tried out. I love doing visual effects...
Chapter 3 is a pretty short chapter (only two short scenes!) But it's also my birthday next Saturday...so I'll at least finish the pencils this coming week for sure...but I may need a little breather before I attempt another intense weekend like this. But it's very reassuring to know that I can, in fact, finish 30 pages in 3 days.

The Weekend Challenge 1:3 days/30 pages
Chapter 1: COMPLETELY DONE
Chapter 2 Inks: DONE
Okay so late new year's resolution--update this blog at least once a week. Because now I am cruisin!!
So a couple nights ago I finished all the chapter 2 pencils. Whilst basking in my glory, I began to wonder: "What if I had all of chapter 2 completely finished by Monday? Wouldn't be surprised?!" And then, I decided that was indeed, what I would do.
3 days
30 pages
Lots of Red bull. (Which I'm finding leaves you feeling quite out of sorts if you drink 2 in one night...)
I've already finished all the inks--I can't believe I inked 20 pages in one day! And I didn't even skip class! I went and did everything I needed to do! The first 10 I need to get done were inked previously, so I had a little boost, but now...ugh, I have to paint everything. I'm glad I'm suddenly able to get all this done really quickly. See, I need to get this done in the next 6 weeks...AHHH! That seems terrifying to think of! But I already have a whopping 67 PAGES complete. And by complete, I mean everything that needs to be done by hand is done. I'm not even thinking of putting in the text and final editing. That's all computer stuff. Besides, to get to the fancy dinner at the end of term for early thesis finishers, I just need to have a "Substantial draft", and I figure since you can physically read the story off the raw pages, then that is a substantial draft. And I think I can do it.
If I can finish chapter 2 in just two weeks, and chapter 3 is barely 20 pages....I am on my way. Luckily, chapter 1 was the only monster. 50 some pages! I can hardly believe it.
It's come to the point where I don't even really care about my other classes. I've been blowing off all my reading just to work on my graphic novel. And it a way, that's great, because it means I really love what I'm doing and am working intensely on it. But on the other hand, it's bad cause I'm not doing my homework, which is mostly reading for English classes, and as all good English majors know, you can make most shit up and it will serve your purposes quite nicely.
Also, I'm thinking I need a new DeviantArt ID...another project for another day.
