Explanation

Ok, so I know you noticed that there was no ATM updates this week and that is due to my lack of preparing in advance. I knew this week would be tough and had offers for guest stuff, but I said “no”, I will work extra hard to do everything i need to get done this week. Well I regretted that, but I think the question you may have if any is…What were you doing that was more important than the comic this week?

I can’t talk about too much of it, but a couple of months ago I was approached with the opportunity to create badges for an upcoming 2011 convention and I said yes immediately. My deadline was this week and while I was working off and on the whole time, I was really hoping to have them done a week ago, but life never works that way for me.  So I was in crunch time this whole week finishing up these bad boys and while I wish I could go back and redo the whole lot, I was pretty happy with how some came out. At this point they are sent and when I get the ok I may post them up and reveal what con you can find them at, but until then it’s all hush hush. The picture above is of Rukia and I rejected this one early on due to the expression and some other reasons, but I figure I would share it with you guys since I failed posting anything else this week.

I know I sound down on myself sometimes and I have really been down on myself about these badges…I figure alot of people will be wearing the and I don’t want those people to have disappointing badges. However, even if they aren’t perfect I am proud that I got a chance to do them and for once I actually felt like a real artist…

I leave you with this..It may be cheesy, but my Otaku side told me to wear this today as it would help remind me to stay positive and reach for the heavens…THEN PIERCE THAT SHIT!!!! 😉 *edit…picture is working again!
