No one's said anything about it yet. I wish it didn't look quite as "cartoony" as it does, but that's the sacrifice I make for keeping it on schedule.
c) For not posting here more often
This place is a lot more structured than the other forums I frequent. While I appreciate that it is primarily art/comic-related, I kinda feel like it lost the art of conversation.

a) Don't set a time (aka: It's done when it's done).
b) Depends on the critique. If it's a technical thing from someone who doesn't know what they are talking about, I usually ignore it. If it's a general critique, or a technical one from someone with background (even a little bit of one), I usually take it into account on my next sketch. Use common sense, I guess.
c) These forums aren't exactly a hotbed of activity compared to some others. I visit regularly, but only post when there is something to contribute. This is, perhaps, the first general post I've left.

a) doesn't happen; I get my shit done, and if I don't, I keep up with my clients.

b) I do fix things.

c) Because I'm too damn busy keeping up with not needing excuses for a) or b). Also, I don't really see the effectiveness of posting in this forum versus, say, more niche forums / WhiteChapel.

I got married. I hope that explains everything. I still draw a comic, but I don't have nearly as much time to spend in the online world with you guys as I used to. :(

Speaking of which, I'm not even sure how many people I recognize here... ._.

Trying to remember the questions... O.o

A) I don't get things done on time because I naturally rebel against settling into routine. Strange, eh?

B) I don't fix my art (although I have in the past) because I'm trying to get through the story. I have this really ambitious story in mind, and if I don't keep chugging along, I'll never make it ><

C) Uh...sometimes I forget CG HAS a forum...

Little cold though, heaters are always on. That's the reason I came here int he first place, slight health problem from the heaters being full blast. I miss Pluto. No garish sun blinding me day in and out. Werewolves are a problem though. All the sexy werewolves left to Quoaor, and they became a gated community. Not sure which side the gates lock.... but I'm pretty sure they are meant to keep the non-wolves out. Too many people were hitting on them. Like I said, they were the sexy ones. Now we're left with just the dogs. And they're mean too!

I tend to push to get things done as I need to, so I usually don't have too much in the way of excuses other than "shit, I forgot I had to do that"

My excuse for not posting her recently would be along the lines of "it angried up the blood" but as far as I can tell something else is doing that and it has nothing to do with the forum. Though I should figure out what exactly it is that's causing it.

a) For not getting your work done at a timely time
I work months in advance. The biggest challenge has been trying to work around the roomies when I need more space and occupy the dining room.
b) For not fixing things that you (and perhaps others) percieve to be wrong with your art
It's kinda hard to fix things unless the set is still availible. I do take notes on things like, lightin, and focus issues so I can take better pics.
c) For not posting here more often
Not much here I'm interested in posting in threads that are repeats of old threads. Not to mention I can't always remember which forum has been posted on.

There's one special comic I want to finish, but can't because two of the panels are animated for effect. Essentially, video clips of monster attacks, and the only way I've figured out how to actually get these clips into the comic is to basically copy-paste the actual frames I want to use, save each individual frame, put them all in Photoshop, animate from there, then figure out how the hell to make those frames hidden somehow. In short, very tedious (considering I already know about the boredom from several projects from my computer graphics class last year), and I don't want to do it. Or maybe I'll do it, but leave out that last step.

Also, lack of any good ideas right now, and way too many distractions in my home to really pay attention long enough to draw them.

I am pretty lazy. But I also have a weird way of procrastinating odd things.
If I actually sit down and start something, by god I am going to finish it or die trying. Unless I get interrupted and then it all goes down the hole.

I had no internet for a couple days recently and magically about four comic pages plus a whole bunch of other crap was done.

So I guess I could be on the forums... or I could do my comic.
Once upon a time I did both D:
But of course back then all my comics looked like this.

I am so ashamed of my archive D:
I want to at least go back and colour all the black&white ones.

a) I was on mission. Or, I interneted.

b) I do not art, therefore I am apparently flawless.

c) I've got a full time job that's currently a 7 days a week job. Also the Internet is crap here and I'd much rather be on Facebook talking to friends I've not seen and will not see again for years. Plus, until OT and GD merged, this place was boring. Now it's all happening and moving and grooving. I like it.
