I think I get attached to characters too easily.... anyway, even though I poured so much time into the game, I think it's really good that I got tired of it now, because that lets me take a step back and look at how much time I have during this break, and how little of it I can waste. This is my chance to get the site up and running! It should be good. =) But it's also the chance for me to start getting into a dedicated routine of drawing those comics. I've felt so lazy and tired.. like I don't want to do it... it's hard to take that first step, and it's easy to just boot up a game.
I've been cooking a little bit recently-- it's kind of fun. I tried cooking some pork belly with Korean BBQ sauce. I really like pork belly, and I really like Korean BBQ... so I decided to mix the two together! ... well- strange thing: It was everything I expected it to be, but the end result didn't taste as good as I thought it would! Stewed pork belly is so good, though... yum. Maybe it's better cooked the traditional Chinese way. I wonder what else I could cook the Korean BBQ marinade with, though?
I also tried to make pudding yesterday, but it wasn't sweet enough, and it was also too hard. I'm going to try again today, using white sugar instead of brown (which was all I had on hand). Hopefully it'll taste good... I need to add more milk, and not cook it for as long. I wonder how good it'd taste if I added salt instead of sugar, also? It'd be a very soft steamed egg.. kind of Japanese-chawanmushi-like.
Anyway, it's depressing to think that the comic died before it started. I wonder how that resolve comes to dedicated artists? I wonder if I can practice enough to the point where it flows out of me, and it becomes a skill that I can rely on, the way music is. I think that might be the key to enjoying it more, since it's frustrating to have an idea, but not be able to put it out.
Okay, so... I'm sleepy. I couldn't get much sleep last night and there's another test on Thursday. I need to go to class, but I don't know how long I can last, and there's also the songwriting course that I need to finish ... just about everything for.
I still haven't put together the actual line-art for strip 2 of Milky's... it's been a month, and my mind's wandering. If this is going to work, I'm gonna have to do it regularly... it's not like it isn't fun, either. Instead, on Friday night, I drew a lineart of Aki wearing more medieval fantasy-type armor. I like it a lot. Jonji saw it and said, "You improved, didn't you?", though I'm not sure about that. I'd love to say yes.
But I can't know if I've improved or not without drawing more.
... but school's in the way for now. At least the semester's almost over. I've just got to cram for another week.
I also need to figure out how to upload stuff here. I think I might just start off by uploading the first comic to MP.
