i've updated bumblemoos with a breakdown of the recent update to the bumblemoo studios website plus a little on our hopes for the coming year ^_^ (one hope: to have more to write about on bumblemoos! ^_~ )

i've now finished the archive gallery which links off my portfolio gallery over on the bumblemoo studios site! (hehe! how many links to the same website can you fit into one sentence? XD )

but urgh my arms and eyes hurt ... i've been resizing images for most of the day -_- but i'm really glad to have finished it! i feel like i can move on to other things now...and that i'll never have to do it again yay!

i think i'll feel even better once i get wikivic-y 1, CLM 1, the fleet prelude and the CLM omake book ready for print...maybe i'll start on that tomorrow...but i already have a CLM strip to do then, i should be going into town to take back the trousers of doom mark II (couldn't be bothered with town last weekend), and i need to go over 3Ds max lighting with lee for at least half a day while he's not at work....

..i'm starting to think i'm not going to have enough time for all this ^^;;

and eep! i just forgot we have house cleaning and a million loads of clothes washing to do tomorrow too! >.<

on a bit of a different note, we're not going to be doing self-designed christmas cards this year ;_; we've both decided our other personal projects are more important - but hopefully we'll be doing some again next year! ^^

i just finished the new logo for the studio, it needed doing as (altho no comics ever got printed with the old one on) lee was a bit iffy about using his low-poly game character style 3D of the bumblemoo for print graphics, plus it needed updating to match our new website design!

if anyone sees any problems with it please let me know! (e.g. if the coloured linework doesn't work, i could revert back to the black inks easily ^^ )

here's the 2 side-by-side for comparison! it makes the old one look so, well, old... o.O;



now i have to go and swap logos on all my comic cover layouts! XD

oh and wren10514 please feel free to nab the userpic i made if you like...i'll get going on those personal ones for the blog ASAP! ^^

well that was a wierd and unproductive afternoon o.O; finishing off something you've been massively focussed on for a few days kind of leaves you dazed and confused for a bit huh? i had the same thing when i finished off draft 1 of the bumblemoo website...probably doesn't help that i was up til crazy hours pixelling last night ¬_¬

anyway yup, the CLM site has been updated with a new omake image (shock horror its my ID one) and i've also updated the projects section on the bumblemoo site so its a bit purtyer, and added rapunzel in as well as wikivic-y book 2...

...but the main deal is stuff by wren10514 is up *woo!* her crossovers100 table is now up, as well as the short prologue to her 2nd novel (the NaNo winner one from last year ^^ )

the events section is slightly updated, it now lists events we're going to and events we've been to...not exactly a long list @ the mo lol! hopefully in future it will gain lots of length! XD

i started a neverwinter nights 2 game today...might play it through, might not (its an epically long game o.O; ) - it seems to be quite fun but as i'm used to the baldur's gate controls for d&d games the different setup for NWN 2 is really annoying! (its much clunkier and less intuitive ¬_¬ )

tomorrow we may have a proper focussed day working on the ex-manga jiman comic, but we seem to have lost our drive for heavy drawing a little... either way i'll be doing constructive things - if its not that it'll be bumblemoo graphics, this week's CLM strip or some stuff for fleet...oh, and the house could do with tidying again o.O; ...and there may be the odd bit of NWN 2 XD

(pretty much cross posted to bumblemoos )

please check out our new website!

www.bumblemoo.com

its just a version 1.1 so expect there to be more funky things added (like lots more bumblemoos! XD ) soon, but there are no 'under construction' sections, so that's good ^_^

i would explain all of the sections but they're pretty self evident when you go there - any questions or broken links please comment here or email me (my address is on the site ^^ )

if you have a relevant website and you'd like to link exchange let me know! our link banner can be found in (dun dun duuuun) the links section of the site XD

last night i finished the bumblemoo studios website v1.1 .... i think i'll upload it at lunchtime today ..... its so wierd to think i can actually upload it! o.O;

oh and theorah!- i commented quite a bit on 'am i still here' altho you might need to go check out your previous pages, as far as i know DD doesn't have a message alert system or anything... i find it so wierd that if someone comments on an older page you don't really know about it unless you go n read back through your own comic >.<

so. many. thumbnails.....

i think that's it for my gallery screen for now (shame i don't have very many nicely rendered 3Ds yet...but i need more training time with it - not enough hours in the day i tell you!)

just got a few more thumbs to make for lee's page.... -_-

i just realised i haven't drawn a standalone image since i did those cards for my friend who was moving house! that was like a month or so back? o.O;

been doing CLM, fleet and the planning pics for the tower model tho so keeping me hand in ^^

its surprising me at the moment how i'm spending my every waking minute doing art-related stuff and yet having nothing much to post image-wise! bloomin 3D projects taking months to complete *grumbles in old man like way* ¬_¬

i really must do some more life drawing ASAP! looking back over my stuff from this year (trawling thro for stuff to make thumbnails from) it brings it home how much i have to learn still! i quite enjoy life drawing tho, when i get the time to do it ^_^
