Day 22, lotsa writing and lotsa drawing

ok, stats first for a change:

  • Total words: 39,605 (almost 40k woo)
  • Today’s words: 3,011

new chapters start at 85: Fair_Day22

today includes 2 new fights (starting with the one I ducked out of yesterday so you get to see Zephyr vs. Wiynd 😀 ) and in the other fight a major character dies for the first time in ages.

anyhoo, after a good days typing whats better to do than make a crapload of drawings? I wouldnt know, I never managed both at once, but I did try today, I started making some rough sketches for all the characters today, heres some that arent the worst:

left to right: Mavis, Jasu, Doll, Cadence, Ignus

anyhoo, thats me done for today, its time to continue my gintama marathon ^__^

edit: oh yeah, I can draw because I have hijacked my dad’s wacom 😀


Day 21, playing catchup

so I finally finish reading my novel so far today and am back up to speed, but when I start typing again what do I find? MY WORDCOUNT WAS BROKEN!

somehow on my pc the file had been collecting extra words somewhere and the last draft was closer to 34k than 35k, so I’ve had to catch up to where I thought I was before my wordcount could legitimately go up. but now I’m using the word counter on the NaNoWriMo site itself so from here on all stats are accurate 🙂

  • Total words: 36,594
  • Words today: 2,563

A good amount written today (turns out this morning I was actually behind the target for the first time all month) if I can keep this pace or maybe enter the konami code and have a couple of days like the first one I’ll finish with time to spare.

anyhoo, new chapters start at no. 80: Fair_Day21

also as I dont have any tablet I’m back to making pixel art (which I totally suck at from lack of practice):

Day 19, just illustrations

Since taking a break for miniLD (which is downloadable now gaiz) I was thrown a little off sync with writing Fair, so I’m re-reading it before I get back to writing. (and I’m reading the PDF to keep me from making any edits!)

however I have been doing a couple of sketchy sketches in my rarely used sketch book (been away from pc and this one I’m at doesent have a tablet… its like living in the 90s or something!)

so here is a sketch of Mav (adult mav, in non-psycho mode):

File0001And here’s a sketch of Riopene and her puppet, it was more to get something in my head for the puppet, riopene herself looks horrible here so she will change totally, she looks more like a clown than some warlord.

File0003

I am really out of practice actually drawing stuff by hand, I guess that’s another thing I have to work on.


more miniLD, also a Fair sketch

Well its the end of another day miniLDing with ArabFlak, and because we started 12.30pm yesterday, I can sleep twice during the 48 hours and still have time to finish up the game morewhich is cool as its technically all there, just not very fun… very freaky though:

screeny

also I had time before doctor who (which was awesome btw) to do an illustration for my NaNoWriMo novel, this is Aella just before the end of Act 1:

AellaKillsok guys, I need sleep, bai o/


Day 12, epic fights and Yuri!

Another good days progress on the writing front, heres a quote from #NaNoWriMo on dAmn (deviant art message network, dA chatrooms basically):

<GirlFlash> thats me done for today *faints*
* GirlFlash has time left to do an illustration, but theres so many scenes and characters to choose from, I cant decide!
<GirlFlash> OH! PLAN!
<GirlFlash> pick a number between 1 and 76
<Rathunta> 63
<Senseless-pain> 52
<Senseless-pain> 8D
<Schemilix> 13
<GirlFlash> I think 63 is the best for illustrating
<GirlFlash> thanks Rathunta, you picked the chapter with a girl-girl kiss, I’ll get to use the yuri tag on my blog again tonight!
<GirlFlash> :boogie: I love that tag, I should use it more
<Schemilix> Mine needs moar girl/girl.
<GirlFlash> Schemilix: everyone’s needs more girl/girl
