Yeah yeah, they do have their problems. :) Once this chapter is done, we should be seeing some more action rather than just arguing.

Oh... my... goodness! It took such a long time for me to get page 8 done. Complications with math homework is eating up my schedule. *pokes head out from underneath a gigantic pile of homework* Hopefully more rapid updates are to be expected once I complete my math course this quarter and/or get my schedule under control.

He played at my school quite a few times and I went to school with his sister and she was nice.


gasp! how cool!

"The advice I like to give young artists, or really anybody who’ll listen to me, is not to wait around for inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself. Things occur to you. If you’re sitting around trying to dream up a great art idea, you can sit there a long time before anything happens. But if you just get to work, something will occur to you and something else will occur to you and something else that you reject will push you in another direction. Inspiration is absolutely unnecessary and somehow deceptive. You feel like you need this great idea before you can get down to work, and I find that’s almost never the case." - Chuck Close[/color]

Well, next page is up. There's not much to it, but it has some important plot content. I added some links to the site too. Hum... the jeans didn't turn out like I thought they would. Does anyone have any ideas how to texturize jeans?

Ok, another page is finally up, along with some minor changes to page 9. Maybe I can pump out another page this week if homework permits.

The new page is looking great ^^ It'll take me a while to remember each character by name though. I'm not too sure what the name of the female character who graces the new page. Jen, perhaps?

You got it right, that's Jen. I know it's not helping that I draw them differently every time... plus it's quite a gang of characters introduced from the get-go. Thank you, by the way!

Yay! Another double post! Anyhow, chapter 2 is completed. Now it's time to move on to some funner things.

I have a confession to make. I totally cheated on the last page. I know, I know... I'm a bad artist. It's fairly obvious what I did. XD

Also, I've come to realize that my art has changed pretty drastically from when I did chapter one, so maybe sometime in the near future, I will make a polished-up version of chapter one and the other pages w/o screentones.

Hope you guys enjoy. Thanks so much for reading! I'm open to suggestions or critiques.

ahhahaha. 'House.... Keeping.' very funny.

I've heard people quote that before in a high pitched voice, can't remember what they were quoting from.

Looking forward to seeing your new chapter.

I prefer commenting on whole chapters, so I'll do so now. I think the art improved significantly in this chapter, and I liked the banter better. Also, I found the planning vaguely reminiscent of Hunter x Hunter (I mean that to be a compliment). I'm curious as to how you'll advance the plot.

Yeah, I'm not quite sure where it's from either. I suppose it must be from somewhere though... I almost want to say Tommy boy or Blacksheep?

Thanks, uc. I'll have to check out that Hunter x Hunter that you mentioned. I really need to build my manga library.

The cover and pages 1-3 are up for chapter 3.

"House keeping! I have come to fluff your pillow!" Actually, I don't know exactly what it's from either, but it was always a big joke on the soccer team. ^^;

The art and layout has improved quite a lot, I'm impressed! Can't wait to read more!

Basic info: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=1899

Despite the childish-looking main character, it's a very dark and serious manga (with one of the highest death rates I've seen and a fair amount of brutality). It is made by the same person who did Yu Yu Hakusho and is fairly well-known for the amount of strategy involved in battles. What reminded me of it was how the characters plan what they are going to do beforehand, and the planning actually has some content.

LOL bishonen mechanics woowoo!

For a split second, I thought Luke was writing while driving. Btw, the end of chapter commentary is excellent. Nice job, Sy!

PS: Have I responded to all your PMs or have I neglected some by accident? It feels like I've forgotten to do one or two. (<.<);

Thanks guys. Sorry the updates has been so sporratic. I've been trying to get a consistent schedule together, but for some reason, I get it done it big chunks. I'll keep my eye out for Hunter x Hunter. It looks pretty cool.

Mave: I haven't gotten your PMs yet, but that's okay. :thumb: I trust that you got everything taken care of okay.

Well, pages 4-6 are up for chapter 3. Yeah, these pages have issues.

1. The person on the top left of page four is supposed to be a dude, but everyone says that the person looks like a girl.
2. Don't ask how their boxing machine works... it would never... ever... work in real life. :lol:
3. The tape... yes... it looks like TP... when they cut it, they use insta-fuse to put it back together for the next box... yes... that's what they do... >.> <.<
4. The guy on the right of page 6 screaming to page a mechanic looks like a cyclops.

Hooray!!

Pages 7-9 are up. This update is long in coming due to sickness, schoolwork, troublesome angles and much straightedge work. But enough excuses -- hopefully I'll be able to pick up the pace from here.

oh, and I can tell it's a guy lol. He looks like Sasuke from Naruto.

Thanks. It's refreshing to hear that his gender is somewhat distinguishable. XD Yeah, some of my character designs have a heavy influence from Naruto, especially Byron.

Pages 10-12 are up, even though I'm pretty sure that you guys already have read 10-11. Again, apologies for the sporratic updates and thanks for bearing with me.

Thanks so much for your encouraging words everyone. You guys are great! XD

Oh, yeah, good call about that cap, Mave. My excuse for that one is that he was flipping backward, so his bill wouldn't catch the air. ;) I gotta get thinking about those details.
