Metal Fist 12 - 17 + Music Video + Top Pic



Okay, done with the secret "other thing".
It took a week, but it's good. Just gotta wait, now.

Also, do you remember that Greek rock band, "Moral"? I put a CD cover and booklet together for them some time ago. Anyway, they've put together great looking music video, based on the book art!



Music Video: Leave Like a Butterfly

They were signed by Universal Music some time ago. Their album is coming out in English, too! I have (three) copies of the Greek edition, and it's great. I'll give a shout when it's available.

Metal Fist 8 - 11



4 Pages, but not 4 pages. It's maaaaagiiiiic!

Metal Fist: 8 - 11

*cackle* *cackle* *cackle*

Seriously though, that's the last of the black (or white) pages until about halfway though the book.

The next couple pages need to be edited together at once, so no update tomorrow. The day after should have 4 to 6 (real) pages, though.

In other news: Life imitates art!

Metal Fist 0 - 5 + HH ads + Library update


Rolling along nicely, now.
Metal Fist doesn't have much dialog for the first two sections. It might be dull for a while but, well, can't do too much about that.

Metal Fist: 0 - 5
Library: Mokou + Misha
HH Ads: 1, 2, 3, 4

The HH ads appeared in "Play" and "Geek" magazine.

I WISH I COULD HATE YOU FLAT

Okay, I'm out of my cave now.


Metal Fist (and everything else for the next 11 months) is settled.

At last, MF does exactly what it needs to do. It also, finally, rests the right way when set beside the other stories in the collection. Great pains have been taken to shave away the unnessary pieces. Some still-tasty shavings have been collected along the way and saved in "8 Magical Girl Cuts". As for everything else:

Metal Fist: 9 sections *~20 pages on average = ~180 pages
Maria's sea (Wandering witch considers settling down): 2 sections * 40 pages = 80 pages
Message (girl on Island waits for family to return): 30 pages
Memory of the Sea I (Astronaut encounters mermaid on moon): 16 pages
Memory of the Sea II (Mermaid watches a house from her pond): 16 pages
Tubes (A girl wakes up to find she and everyone she knows have become a giant grubs in a meat tube): 40 pages
The Bridge (The same jumper falls of the bridge every night): 24 pages
Holiday (two sisters take a trip to a the 'beach' -- a flooded city): 16 pages

8 short Magical Girl Cuts: 16 pages

Subtotal: ~418 pages
(+ Karen, Parallel Star, Doll & Maker: ~470 pages)
(Est. book price: $17 - $20 USD, or $11 - $13 USD on cheap paper)

at an average of ~1 page a day (BAD): Will not finish within a year! (M.Fist: ~6 months!)
at an average of ~2 pages a day (Minimum): 6 months to finish (M.Fist: ~3 months)
at an average of ~3 pages a day (Gotta try): 5 months (M.Fist: ~2 months)
at an average of ~4 pages a day (HA!): 3.5 months (M.Fist: ~1.5 months)

For the remaining 5 months (Dec '09 to April '10) (assuming 2 pages a day):
3 months (Dec '09- Feb '10): Visual Novel OR Snax / indie games OR long comic
.5 months (Mar '10): Snax & Mr. mopps serial (one storyline)
.5 months (Mar '10): June and the Negative Feelings Bureau
~0.75 month (flex): Reader requests (discuss in comments)
~0.75 month (20 days) (flex): Reading, misc. other tasks, paintings, collab work, travel

Starting tomorrow (June 5th), updates will be done around midnight (EST).

Updates might not be every day (since some groups of pages need to be edited together), but I'm going to track the page average at the end of each week to see how things are holding up.

Metal Fist 19 - 21

Argh, too slow, too slow!

Metal Fist: 19 - 21

Spent too much time trying to get my apartment clean and reading.
SHEETS OF DUST PEELING OFF THE FLOOR. BOOKS PILING UP ON MY COFFEE TABLE.

Going to turn up the heat starting tomorrow.
Need SPEED. Speed, speed, speed! Especially since the first chapter is such a slow and mellow one.

A chapter every week and a half should be the goal. SPEED!

Hate fuels the fire. Fill 'er up in the comments section.
