It was awesome! I expected to come out of the theater having enjoyed it, but not nearly as much as I did. It blew away my expectations and delivered a really clever zombie apocalypse plot with a sharp comedic edge, lots of zombie killing, and a warm, believable cast that you really care about.

( Long, spoilery impressions & review! )

Whee, updates!

As of Saturday I'm even more ancient now than before! Thanks everyone for the well wishes and stuff! Now to find a new job! As I have things that need to be done, most of which require money.

Killing wandering monsters for gold drops would be great in the real world. Or horrible, since it'd lead to massive inflation. And also monster related deaths.

I'll post some of the art gifts I got next post.

I've seen friends do this before, so I figure why not. I'm posting my Amazon Wishlist.

My birthday is coming up at the month's end so feel free to buy me things! =D As IF! Buying things for me isn't required. But it does net you Wiggly Points, which can be cashed in for fabulous prizes! (Thank you's and perhaps a grilled cheese sandwich.)

Wiggly Incorporated also accepts heartfelt birthday wishes and artwork.

I should really just ask for a supply of walking canes and ether. Why? Because.

Wiggly AWAYYYY~

It's OVERRR~. 4 days spent in Baltimore hanging with friends and selling our wares takes a lot out of us, but we do have fun. I'm illustrating some of last weekends events in journal comic form, but they aren't ready yet so I'll just make a regular update for the time being.

( Otakon 2009: Featuring the Cursing Coffee Experience LIVE! )

I'll be leaving for Otakon at 3:30pm today. I'm already exhausted in anticipation! I hope it's all worth it and we all have a good time and make money for all of our toiling. It's the last con of the year for me so I want to unload as much merch as I can. And also get a few cool things in the dealer's room. Haha! Wasting profit! Oh, Wiggly. You so wacky!

But I am looking forward to seeing people and enjoying myself. And not having to worry about cons for a long, long time. One day I can retire from all of this...one day...

After this weekend things will calm down and I can catch up with comments I've wanted to reply to and make.

( Otakon merch 2009 )

Like many people out there I grow curious as to what the natural habit of my online pals is like. And it's always quite fascinating when I do get an opportunity to see the domicile of a fellow internet nerdgeekchild. So seeing as my room is currently in an organized state I'll show a small tour of a few corners of mine.

( Last x09 )

Catching up! Anime Boston went well, it's a really chill con with a lot of foot traffic in the AA. I Got to see usual convention buddies, and also got to finally meet yuji_san, and got to see hikaru_tanaka13 again! Ill eventually put up pictures I took.

Otakon's next month, then I have a nice long reprieve from cons for a while. Unless something comes up, which it usually does. I'd like to visit Metrocon if I could afford to, and SDCC.

Also, anyone interested in commissions? I'm open and ready if anyone wants something, I have a few to finish this week so I'll soon be ready for a new batch. Any takers? My rates and such are right here.

And now art.

( Sari and Bee + Fan art. )

( DKD. )

( Capcom Girl-A-Day's. )

See you in hopefully less than a month!

Oh, there will be moe. And redemption

Almost done with Anime Boston prep work. Print pick up was a smooth transaction. And I scouted around for a new travel bag. And bought a dapper Trilby. And I'm on little sleep since I'm attempting to reset my sleep schedule so that I won't be a mess this weekend. What a concept!

( Con art and stuff. )

Now to continue producing stuff. I'll be very happy when the day comes that I retire from conventioning. By retire I mean "Die in a freak accident at a convention".

Just some dropping some linkage on you all.

ROBOT DINOSAURS THAT SHOOT BEAMS WHEN THEY ROAR. THIS IS THE FUCKING BEST FLASH GAME EVER MADE.
Ok, maybe I'm overselling it, but it's still AWESOME.
I just needed to share that.

And have some TWEWY.

Blargh. Fuck you, Twitter! You make it too easy to update about nothing. You're a cheap and easy whore compared to creating a meticulous and classy Live Journal entry. But that aside, I'll start posting here too, AGAIN. And shiru04 & sw_inku say I should update more often.

What's been up? Job hunting. I didn't get the job with an advertising company that was coveting me for a while. In the long run it may have been for the best, the dude in charge had every element of "crazy eccentric boss" syndrome. What I appreciate is that unlike all the other crazy bosses I've had he KNEW that he was crazy and very difficult to deal with. I can respect that kind of self awareness. But aware or not I've had my fill of high profile nutjob boss jerkwads for a lifetime. So I'm sure I would have hated that job. I REALLY don't want to work for crazies any more. It amounts to nothing but frustration and an exemplary update to my resume. But I have enough of those by now so it's not worth what I have to go through anymore. This year is about progress!

( But enough of that, have some art. )

Hey guys! Guess who's on very little sleep!? Seriously, it's been a busy few days what with Katsucon coming up this weekend. Right now I'm keeping myself awake to set my sleep schedule sort of correctly, fun times.

Almost got all my con preparation done, a last run about the city today should do it. I need to pick up my prints and some supplies. But I'm going to see if I have time to clean up my room and post some items on eBay too before I leave Friday morning. I have some new sales tactics I want to try out this year too, so we'll see how that goes. I had an amazingly ridiculous adventure involving getting my prints made today that involved a ridiculous fetch quest that had me covering a bunch of city blocks in a very short time, among other things. But it's far too stupid to retell. Just know that I should have least gotten a heart piece for my trouble.

My life is just ridiculous sometimes, that's why I have so much character! It was frustrating but the Transmetal Rattrap I won in an eBay auction arrived while I was out mucking about. So that helped. And I got a fancier display stand for my mini prints, since they have love, care and effort in them, unlike my older sloppily rushed prints. And I also got a separate case for them for organization's sakes.

( Alas, I should sleep. But lets show some art first. )

2008 sure blew by quickly, didn't it?

Short posts sure are short, aren't they?

Firstly, a big congrats to pembrokewkorgi on his recent engagement!

But yes, I still function. But most of you already know that since I've either seen you or commented on your journal entries. I got into one of those update slumps. The kind where every time you sit down to tell a story you go "MEHHHHH" and go do something else. Then before you know it a month or more has gone by. So sorry, I'll try to stay on top of things so that this doesn't happen again.

( I'll just show some quick stuff. )

And now some linkage for those who are interested and haven't seen these yet.
Night of the Werehog. A short and pretty humorous and awesome little cg movie that promotes Sonic's latest video game outing.
Dragon Ball Z- The return of Goku and friends. pembrokewkorgi Showed this to me and it's really great. It's a simple DragonBall story that takes place 2 years after the defeat of Majin Buu. It's lighthearted, very nostalgic, and really nicely done without taking itself too seriously. Be warned though, if you watch it on the site after downloading the viewer you may have some mild streaming issues, nothing too awful though.

Ok now I've got to get to bed. I'm escaping family dinner today to eat with widdledragon's family in Jersey instead. I'll post art next update, which will be SOON THIS TIME.

=D

Ok got back from MangaNext late Sunday. Tired, brain mushy, report later.

Why am I so tired!?

Taking a break from working on stuff to update. I've been too lazy to post for a while so I'm trying to break out of that current habit.

First off, new hobby! I've expanded my geeky hobbies into doing Let's Plays. If you're not familiar with the term a Let's Play is playing a video game while recording both the video and your own commentary. They have a tendency to be full of repeated failure and rambling commentary, sensible and otherwise. It's one of my favorite things to watch/listen to when I sit near my comp working on art stuff. So I started with a fun but horrible little play through of AstroBoy: Omega Factor for the GBA. So give a watch if you'd like to see me DIE CONSTANTLY, and also hear my voice and the nonsense/Fan ramblings I regularly spew if you've never had the pleasure. It's been fun! And it's been an enjoyable new past time. It helps me turn my game breaks into something sort of productive.

( Hey, there's art too. )

I've been keeping a steady pace and have 13 new updates roughed, 5 more and I'll have all of the current chapter sketched. I plan to pencil the hell out of them this weekend at MangaNext, Among other projects.

But for now back to woik.

Pencils: Stephan Liebe, and Loli. Inks & Text by sw_inku.

Pencils: Ricko, The Checkers Team. Backgrounds,Script and Storyboards by me.

( Commence! )

Success! Making a note here, huge success!

I visited sw_inku at work and she suggested we do a collaboration comic for 24 hour comics day great justice. I wrote and story boarded a script in under an hour, then we spent the next 9 hours working our asses off roughing, and inking 12 pages worth of comics, hell yeah! We officially finished at 12:16 AM this morning. 12 pages of comics in 10 hours, we are quite the awesome at the moment.

We're going to scan soon and Steph will text the lot of it. The we can unleash it to all of you, the lovely people of the internet.

But for now I'm gonna sit here until what's left of my energy expires. Art is coming, but in the meanwhile you can read miggliepants which is being updated consistently.

And have some random art of a shiru04 scarecrow with additional tape recorder. Handy for recieving packages of collectible figures while not at home.
