<title>Scene Zero - 014</title>
<description><![CDATA[4 months and 11 days. I'm trying to find a non-dead comic I can point at, but alas, no such comic exists to my eyes yet. Yeah, I'm pretty much the worst person when in comes to updating (Besides Duke Nukem Forever, but you don't mess with Duke Nukem), but it's finally here. I'm excited on when the next update's gonna be. Probably not until the end of school, since next 4 weeks and weekends will be full of testings and exams. Joyous!

I admit, I honestly don't have any reasonable idea why it took me this long. Last two panels however took me [b]two hours.[/b] I had to entirely repose the monster twice and the gun effect at least 6 times (Too big, too bright, too much focus, still too big, too much effect, too blurry), not to mention arranging them so that they'll flow nicely. I tried, but the left end of the last panel is rather disappointing, considering they were not that far apart (Their positions fit in a single panel).

That brings me to another thing: Custom Photoshop brushes. They look so good on the preview picture, but it never seems to work out the way I want it to when I use them myself. I was hoping to make good use out of several of them until I ultimately decided to do the effects myself. The onomatopoeias on the last panel is my handwriting. Lot faster than putting in text and transforming it, I have to say.

In any case, that's it for the day. I've taken a long break from Team Fortress 2 (6 Days now) and decided to go back into Half-Life 2 Single-Player mods. I'm not enjoying most of them (Instant-kill exploding fastcrabs? Seriously?), but it's certainly better than having some 12-year-old (Aimbot-speedhack optional) swear as he dominates me and others.

Oh yeah, new running pose for the Doctor. Hooray!]]></description>

<title>Holiday Option - Christmas 2008</title>
<description><![CDATA[Christmas picture 2008. 

[i]"Come on, try it. I dare you."[/i]
Astounding, considering how I managed to whip this up in two days, and go as far as inking it. Happy Holidays, and [url=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v686/Z-Ace/Drawings/Christmasdan.jpg][b]here's[/b][/url] my Christmas picture for 2007, showing Danta Claus beheading the naughty, now beheading anyone he sees because there's not a single person who has not committed any naughtiness. But on the lighter note, here's a musical lyric to go with it:
[i]You better watch out
You better watch out
Danta is fuckin comin to town...
[Music distorts]And he's gonna find out who's naughty and nice...[Music stops]
Who's naughty... and nice...[/i] 

Also, I've [url=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v686/Z-Ace/Drawings/Christmas2008a.jpg][b]made yet another concept for the story[/b][/url], this time showing the former fortified wall of Lafilla, with Rangard not too far away on the other side. Built shortly before the Artificial War (2021 - late-2027, 8 years prior to the beginning), all that remains are several segments of walls and forts under decay and their reminder of the two country's yet another part of bloody feud.

"Time...? Is it [i]that[/i] time already? It only appears it has just arrived. You have done a great deal in such a short timespan... that I've got some interesting offers for your services. Instead of giving you the illusion of free choice, I shall choose it for you... In any case, this- is where I get off."]]></description>

<title>Scene Zero - 013</title>
<description><![CDATA[I've finally done it. I cannot describe how good I felt I was last night. It's quite... surprising. But yeah, the good feeling ended like always.

So uh, here's a dynamic entry. If I had known how the page layout was going to be, this would have been done a long time ago.

In any case, this update means I'm 1 page closer towards the fun part. Or at least a chapter more uh, related to the story.]]></description>

<title>Option Five - Proto-Prototype</title>
<description><![CDATA[An update? Right now? Surely!

Yes, I am actually kidding you.

Here's my very, very old concept of the main antagonist in the story. At first, I was mmmkay. Then I had second thoughts, "An evil alter ego? Dan, come up with a better one or left lung will start a coup." I ditched the idea, but here's at least what I had in mind.

I had this wip lying around for half a month now, maybe much longer. Judging by how crappy the sprite looks, I'd say around a year or so (But I do remember still hating the sprite then). It took me 3 more days just to get the effects I wanted on Mahin alone (I had already done the effects on the dark figure), and 30 minutes to spontaneously come up with a fitting 4-liner, because I'm a jack who's obsessed with putting words in pictures.

Anyways, do enjoy this update full of deceit and lie. Cake and grief counseling will be available at the end of time.]]></description>

<title>Scene Zero - 012</title>
<description><![CDATA[[Sigh] When you think about it, two weeks is a very long time if you're expected to update on weekly basis, and at the same moment, very short time when playing video games since you have no idea how the time flies.

Anyways, I don't like dialogue pages and never will. At least I'll never, EVER, put up a wall of text. I am not doing a goddamn literature.

Last panel sucks. Kaggs sucks. Why the hell did I choose Elpizo?!]]></description>
