I'm busy with work atm, I wish I had more free time to doodle. And I wish my room wasn't so damn hot. Sure, I could work on Kamina and enjoy some fresh air, but I work faster on my main computer. So...Hello summer, this is Asuka who's craving for the pool.

I went to the beach sunday. I REALLY had a lot of fun, for various reasons. But I think I killed my health. I can't breathe properly, my throat is all sore and I think I'm developing fever. orz. Anyway, I doodled a couple of things during work-breaks and--well, I don't like them but I have to show you something. This livejournal is THE SADNESS .

The pic is Luthen enjoying the beach, I assume. Luthen is property of tsuki_no_onna and her skin is not that exposed usually.

I really needed to doodle something today, I feel like I'm going to explode.

Commission - B-Day Meredith by =asuchan on deviant ART

My subscription expired some months ago...man, I forgot how different was deviantART without the sub...I'll buy a new one asap. Anyway I noticed I didn't submit (nor check) anything on deviantart since DECEMBER. That's a lot. Bad user is bad. Anyway, I've still got some commissions to show so I'll be active for a little more :D yay!

I'm sorry I couldn't update RT on thurday, but I had to take care of my family and I couldn't ink the page--the good news is we're at a great point in the chapter. We're almost at the end of Chapt1, can't wait!!

Chapter 2 will have a more quick pacing (hopefully) and I'm still working on my speed in doing comics and illustrations =D I should practice more on background but I think right now the ones I'm doing works just fine.
Also, thank you all for the commissions, donations and the email full of support and comments. I really appreciated it :3

Wed, 13 May 2009 13:57:50 GMT

OMGOMG I'm receiving e-mails from the fans. You heard me. FANS. I have fans. RUBY THURSDAY HAS FANS. Awww. Anyway, I'm working on commissions right now. 3 to go =D

Thank you so much to everyone who bought commissions from me, it helped a lot! I will upload the finished pieces on my deviantart when I'll finish them. I've already started with a piece commissioned by kiey , made before my motherboard and power supply died painfully (for me)

Being productive in bed. fufufufu

Fri, 17 Apr 2009 15:27:30 GMT

I'm sketching like a crazy and playing Suikoden Tierkreis in bed. I could attend a fair here in my city this summer, and I'm really tempted to do some prints and go there to expose RT and other stuff of mine. But even no. I can't decide. I'm too afraid I would spend a lot of money (which right now I don't have, lol) for nothing. But it could be nice to be able to sell my stuff at a fair.

Fufufu I wish I could attend to one of those big big conventions with a lot of webcomic artists, but here in Italy we are really a few. And we don't get enough space. In fact, we don't even have a dedicated space nor discount for our stands.

Well, at least it'd be in my city, so I wouldn't have additional costs for once. I'll seriously think about it.

In the meanwhile, you can check <lj user="rt_webcomic"> and join if you want to make me happy <3

just another boring rant

Tue, 14 Apr 2009 21:47:04 GMT

I need a new power supply. Because I'm dumb.

OH I MISS SO MUCH MY MAIN COMPUTER ;________; I want to draw!

Fri, 13 Mar 2009 01:28:56 GMT

Well looks like I just can't keep a livejournal. "I should update more" and blah blah blah. I can't update more and it's not just a matter of time.

I'm a lazyass. More than ever when it comes to lj. One of my dearestestestestest friends is a lj-whore. I still can't get how someone could get so addicted to this blogging platform since I still see it as a work of evil. But still, I haven't deleted my account in years and I'm still posting with all these "I'm not a lj-person/I should update more" which, I think, is making me a REAL lj-person.
While I still think that I need some book like "Livejournal for dummies" and such, I'm currently at home--My nose is like a waterfall (how poetic can I be?) so I avoided all the unnecessary hangouts to focus on RT related stuff. How sad it is that it seems I can only work on my comic when I'm sick? ROFL. Anyway, I started to sketch a bonus wallpaper for this month, hoping someone is going to be merciful enough to spend money on poor little me *fake tears* and sketches+studies for all the characters I've not been nauseated yet to draw (read as: LUCE).
I focused more on Jeremiah because he's the one I'll have more problem with being him...well, not a girl. As you may already have noticed, I'm not good at drawing boys, especially boy-looking-boys; I'm trying to get quicker (and better) at drawing him, and at the same time I'm desperately trying to understand better how the human body works -which, to be honest, is something I should have started to do at least ten years ago- with all the muscles and bones and ugly dirty things like that.
Meh, enough with that blog-entry. Less writing, more Jeremiah:

Merry Christmas, happy new year and all the rest.

Ruby Thursday - Happy Holidays by =asuchan on deviant ART

RT is on hiatus again. Sorry, I have a family who wants to spend holidays with me--but the comic will resume on January!
I must say, I'm really glad people are appreciating Shilis. She's a positive character and she's turning out exactly how I've planned her from the very start.

It's weird, and maybe it's just how bad I work but--Sometimes, when you write something, or draw a comic, you see a character you planned in a certain way develop on its own and act differently from what they're supposed to do. Sometimes this is a good thing. Sometimes it gives body to the narration and helps the characters to feel more human. But somehow you still feel like you're doing something wrong.

Shilis is exactly how I wanted her to be. No more, no less. And it really means a lot to me. Maybe it's because of her being the same I've always pictured in my mind that I like her so much; or maybe it's because I know all the things beneath her smile and... well, authors are always affectionated to their creatures as they know everything about them. I hope to be able to explain everything related to my characters as the story goes on and to be able to write good characters pages when the time will come.

Ah! And we're working on the slightly different layout which will be implemented and be fully active when the comic will resume. The new version will have an extended top (600 px width) and extra sections to easily navigate the site and access the forum. I will add a link to an Italian version of RT due to "popular" demand. If you think RT is worth traslation in your own language, let me know. :3

I'm going to sleep now, tomorrow will be a really busy day and then...holidays, at last.

Nono and Diebuster are (c) Gainax. (Poor) Artwork by me

I should definitely update this lj more often. To be honest, the only reason I'm updating here and not on my very personal blog is because my hosting is a jerk and looks like it can't find the dns. But I wanted to post something somewhere just to keep my mind occupied.

As some of you may already know, I've been on a wedding. It was tiring and not so funny but I can't complain much. Free food. Yay. Unfortunately it was mostly SEA-food and fish (which I don't really like) but who cares. It was free and I could wear a wonderful dress. Aw.

I wonder why almost every girl wants to wear a princess-like dress at least once in her life. I honestly think this is the real reason why people get married--or at least I think this would be the only reason for me to go to a church and listen to a bunch of bullsh**s. But the dress. OH THE DRESS.

Okay, enough with the wedding stuff. let's talk about other random junk--still about me of course.

It's a weird period. I have really a few friends I could say they're my closest and for one reason or another I can't keep in touch with them. Honestly, I suck. I'd like to be more active, call them or just say "hi" but--somewhat I feel like if they didn't get in touch with me first, it's because they don't want to be bothered. THIS IS STUPID. It's the very same thing that happened to a close friend of mine and I told her it was stupid because meh friends do not bother eachothers USUALLY. I'd like to get to talk to them a little more, but I don't want to let them know because meh, they have their lives and if they didn't find the time maybe they're too busy or they're stuck in the same situation as me.

I know there's plenty of people who cares about me, but I can't help feeling lonely.

Artistically speaking, I'm trying to get out of my artblock. Of course I'm not satisfied with what I do but it won't help to just sit and do nothing. Practice should keep me occupied at least. I've done this "question about art" meme on DA and I think it could be useful. I mean, most of the things I read are things I'm already aware of--but when you hear from someone else's voice you realize it's more important than you thought.

So yeah, I will practice more on my weakpoints when I'll have the chance to. Thank you to the ones who replyed to my meme and I hope I can get better through your answers!

Then then mmh..what else...? Huh! I started to accept donations on Ruby Thursday with just 2$ you'll get a wallpaper. Of course donations are not obligatory and that's why I'm really really happy I received 50$ so far. This helps a lot. Thank you!

I was thinking about doing a "how do I do things" RT related, let me know if you think it's pretty useless or if you'd like to see it XD; then then mmmh.. I most likely won't post again in ages so--Happy holydays?

I hate when the pc shuts down and everything you've worked on goes happily to hell.
shjgadgssh bad weather is bad.

and I don't have angry or sad avvies anymore so I'll just use that cool Zelgadis. But it doesn't really express the mood. meh.

update? what's an update?

Sat, 22 Nov 2008 06:43:28 GMT

I'm still ill and I'll be out there in the cold all day today.
I hope not to die.

Andddd so sorry for the lack of updates on Ruby Thursday but I simply couldn't finish the pages ;__; I so need to work on them, but I wanted to be warm under my blankets and sleep. FOR A WEEK, yes.
I need a new immune system.

Thu, 06 Nov 2008 06:07:33 GMT

Feh, nothing to say. Just that THIS is the only thing I was able to draw these days and that it upsets me. Well anyway I think I'm really close to the end of my new work marathon and I'll be able to post sketches again soon.

And obviously I'll be able to update Ruby Thursday <3 yay. Man, I miss so much drawing it...!! This is a good sign, right? I can't wait to get to a certain point. Fufufu~
And I'm planning some nice goodies, too.

Someone please teach me how to use flash properly. Or at least lend me some patience.
Well anyway I'm just trying to lose some time before I start again to work. I HAVE to finish everything today. I must. I won't go to sleep if I don't. *determination*
Aahdghsgf I so want to watch Soul Eater. I'm stuck at ep 24--and Revolution. Aw Revo ;___; I had to do a marathon but some files were corrupted and-and now I still have to watch it.
The good thing is that I'll be able to do REAL anime marathons this time. I checked every Revolution ep, and they all work. Muahahah.
Mh, okay. It's late. Gotta go back to work.

~~But I will be back.~~ Maybe.

mrrrr.

Halloween 2008 by =asuchan on deviant ART

And I will be back!

It all goes BAWWW

Wed, 15 Oct 2008 01:16:43 GMT

Okay guys. If anyone is reading me now it's time to comment because I think I seriously need external advices and opinions.

Let's say there's a guy over the internet, who matches a lot of stereotypes and that I wrote down an entry on my personal blog talking about these stereotypical guys. Let's say I was harsh, but I didn't say names (well, there were a lot really) and only expressed my opinion.

That guy, thinking I was talking about him and only about him, started to moan and spread around voices over me and what I wrote and in no time I got flamed. Not that I cared, I had kind of fun because they were stupid and easily pwnable. But now-the thing is.

This guy ALWAYS says things about great people I respect, and uses really heavy words. He's kind of coward which moderates all comments because he doesn't want people to reply in negative ways to what he writes. And when he hints the person he's talking about can read his blog, he suddenly deletes the blogentry and starts to act weird.

He did this a lot of times. Now, what I made was childish, and I know that well. But he told me he never did something like this and that he doesn't know why I hate him so much and blah blah blah. Despite me saying I never wrote down his name and that I stated I was talking about more than just one person, he kept on saying it was him and threatened me to death. He even wrote a journal entry in which they said my name and threatened me even more, and said words I could not re-write in this place.
I'm not scared, of course, but I'd like to know your opinion on this.
He said he could have written down whatever he wanted in his blog because, well, it was its blog. But I couldn't express my opinion because I was a bi*ch and he was hurt by my words. He even started to spread voices about me months and months ago. Way before I wrote what caused the argument.
I'd like to hear your honest opinion, and please--try not to comment as anonymous. If you don't have an account, write down your name in your comment.

Thank you.

Thu, 09 Oct 2008 00:52:56 GMT

lol, pencils of one of the next pages. I still need to add clothes, the finished page won't contain nudity (ATM *evillaugh*) but I thought it was funny. Otoh's expression matched.
Isn't it fun when you do something and THEN realize that it's *w r o n g* for some reason? XD

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 11:08:54 GMT

Things are going just GREAT right now. I've increased my speed in doing pages for my webcomic and I draw every time I have free time. I feel so productive I'd kiss myself.
Eheh, I've nothing to say, I just wanted to post a quickie and say HELLO WORLD, I'm doing fine!
*_*

Nietzche says to be patient and wait.

Thu, 02 Oct 2008 16:16:44 GMT

I'm trying not to think that I lost AN ENTIRE DAY waiting for the mail-man. I hate waiting for things or news, it's too stressing.
I'm excited and stressed. Excited and stressed, excitASADHGSDGHSDHSADGh

I'll start waiting again tomorrow morning *sighs* I hope they won't take too long, this thing is going to kill me.

Title.

Wed, 01 Oct 2008 21:11:45 GMT

posting because this blog needs to live.

sorta.
Aaaand I'll be happy happy happy in...I CAN'T DO A COUNTDOWN! *groans* just cross fingers for me, okie?~

do the impossible (keep the lj updated)

Sat, 20 Sep 2008 11:45:25 GMT

Phew, I'm working at full force on RT right now. It's hard to draw a lot after a long break but now here I am again and I WANT to draw as many page as possible!
Chapter 0 is almost over and chapter 1 will be a little less boring. I hope.

I want to post more on LJ, so I'll start to spam old pics if I don't have new things to show.
And since I don't have new things to show, here comes a couple of old Tegaki e pics. I'll go back to it one day.

The first one is Tada Harr, one of evhor's characters; the other one is obviously Viral. I fail at fangirling. XD; Tegaki e was really fun btw, It was interesting and the handwritten comments were hilarious. <3

Also, you may want to check this new deviation of mine. You won't reconize her, but it's one of the most recent pic I've made so if you're curious just click, okay? ;D

She's got a sketch, duck!

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 20:16:10 GMT

Hi there. I realized it's been forever since the last time I posted a sketch, so here's a random shilis. It was my first time (well, second to tell the truth but the very first one was on the same sheet of paper) drawing her with her hair completely untied and I really like her. She's more manga-ish in this pic because It's nothing official and I just wanted to doodle something X3
I'm posting some news about RT (hoping someone cares about it): I'm working on the first chapter and incentives; unfortunately I didn't do any new pic to post during the hiatus but it will be over really soon so I guess it's okay if I just leave baby!Jeremiah where he is.

Also, I've joined the 2009/2010 Calendar project for the 910CMX community and I'm trying to work on the third month but I'm not satisfied at all. I've got two months and the cover character ready, though.
I hope you'll support us when the Calendar will be ready <3

And I have a fiew other things I'd like to talk about, but I'm really superstitious and I won't tell a word. Just wish me luck, okay? X3

That's when is needed to shut up.

Sat, 23 Aug 2008 17:10:24 GMT

Can someone please tell me why it's so full of idiots around here?
I just can't help asking myself HOW people who cries over a stupid and UGLY film can possibly exist.
We have this writer here, that's making a lot of money thanks to his books. These books are USELESS. Totally useless. I mean it. I've read one of them and it's--uhm, shit? It's all about how young italian people spend their lives.
Obviously he's totally wrong and since his writing is supposed to be a target for young people, it gives really bad and DISTORTED idea of how love and sexuality should be.
I've read one of the books and plan on reading the other two just to laugh, and I actually saw the films. But I'm AWARE they're totally nonsense and painful as a thumb in my eye.
The sad thing is that out there is full of girls who REALLY and GENIUINELY loves this kind of stuff and even CRY for the films. Man, be serious.
A bad guy steals your money, YOU SEE IT and still don't say a thing. The very day after you meet him, he asks you to go out with you and you ACCEPT?
Please. I won't believe it really exist on this world a girl so stupid to really do so. AND STILL IT'S FULL OF PEOPLE WHO THINK THIS IS ROMANTIC! Who wants to meet a guy just like him and blah blah blah.
Maybe I'm greedy, but if I see a guy stealing from my purse I would go punching him in the face.
OR let's talk about the second film, in which you find out the female lead is stalking the guy she's with from YEARS (and I mean it, she had a book with random shots she did while she was hiding, and comments and letters to him hidden in the book as well) and organized a complex plan just to impress him. If I discovered something like this I would be terrified.
I mean, she's CRAZY. She's totally out of control. If she stalked me for three years and organized a machiavelic plan just to get in my pants I fear what she could do if I disappoint her. But the male lead instead of running away and calling the police was AMAZED by her creepy perseverance (does that term even exist?) and loves her even more than before.
AND GIRLS WILL GO SQUEE FOR THIS.
I can't understand. It's me being a heartless b**ch or it's them who's a group of idiots? I still like to chose the second option.
People CRIES for these stories, fall in love with the characters and the author is like building a castle with all the money he's got from this shit.
I just watched them to have fun. And god if I had fun. I spent hours laughing on the stupidest things only stupid italian people could think of and someone said I was watching them because I LIKED them (well. In a way, lawl :'D) and that I was just like the other stupid teenagers out there.
Oh please. If you honestly thought I was enjoying the great story and acting you seriously need help.

Lol, I'm getting worse with these memes.
