Upgrading soon...

That Tax break is coming and APPARENTLY I'm supposed to spend it instead of hording it way with all my other piles of money.
MONEY!
MONEY!!
...
Anyway, I figured the best way to spend this stuff is to blow it on upgrading my art equipment. After all, I have absolutely no time for any new video games, and I can't upgrade my TV or speakers without Breaking the 500 dollar mark. Besides if I ever get the motivation to turning a profit on this stuff (not with overwherehoused T-shirts, but products people would actually want,) Then it might be a good investment.

Question is, Where do I upgrade. We have a few Options.

One: New Computer. The Computer I use now is approaching it's 3rd birthday. It's seems like only yesterday I was Downloading "The Bards song" off limewire, realizing how it wasn't a good idea for a cartoon, and worked on Legend of Luik instead.
It is starting to get a bit slower and louder, and I'll probably need a laptop in the Future. However MacBooks are over 1000 bucks, and I've actually gotten used to carrying a amall notebook and pencil around for the portable work.

Two: Upgrading Flash. I've been working off Flash MX (7) for god knows how long, and software upgrading would be in my price-range. Granted though, I'm not sure I really need it, and if I want to upgrade, it may require a faster computer, which brings me back to option one. I'm probably going to wait until I get a new computer. I could probably find one that has flash 8 or whatever, included in the system.

Three: New Tablet. Oh, this is the real tempting one here. My Current Tablet is about 4 by 6 and I've had it for about 2 years. But I have been having a pushing on M8BG's Art lately and a larger sensitive tablet could help me some.
Something Like this, is tempting.
And this one might be worth the extra cash.
But this one would definitely be a step up for me. I'd have to save up some money on my own to get it, but it's definitely a possiblity.

So the current gameplan is probably splurging on the Wacom Moniter Tablet and then, when I do need to replace my computer, getting a mac mini or something else portable that doesn't come with a it's own monitor. Still, to make that work, I'll have to really tighten my current budget and focus My education and My Current Hobbies into something that I can live off of so that getting this tablet will seem like a sound enough investment for me. We'll see how things look when I actually get the tax break though. I just felt like sharing.

Star wars and Star fish

"Star Porn" Porn star! These Starfish are all hands

I'm unusually proud of this one.This is another sketch using full skeletal framing to draw this stick figure of Magic 8 Ball Girl. More and more recently, I've been drawing the Magic 8 Ball Girl comic with a little framing here and there. So I suppose this is what Magic 8 Ball Girl would look if I did the comic full time and with a better tablet.
This picture of Bridgette and Brian I drew in a coffee shop did not turn out that well. But I seem to be doing a little better drawing Bridgette now.
Here's Brian Green Wearing a hat that she's going to have on further on in the story. I should definitely get back to that.

This weeks Sketches

First up, a new sketch for Model White. Added a little of the Stereotypical Long white Haired Fangirl Bishi to this character. Which is a little off fitting because she's a girl, and yet it's appropriate because all of those features are technically considered girly. I could make this a theme to all the Brian Robots. (Except Red, who's already a boy).
I drew this one about a year ago (had it saved on my phone since then)

The Pit and the Pendulum. THis could make a funny story if I fleshed it out.

Making up for lost time

Ok, Magic 8 Ball Girl Comics did not get in the way of this blog, as I promised it wouldn't...

Smash Brothers is another story. I have not been keeping up with this blog at all lately.

So, I'm going to update it on sunday nights from now on. This does not mean there will only be one sketch a week, though.

Anyway, to make up for lost time:
MUDKIP BABIES!
