So.

Just a quick update on how things are going, though I think there are likely more people watching my gallery than my journals. Here we go anyway.

Ideopolis is still on hiatus, and I don't think I'll be posting any more to DA other than previews of the new series. I've decided to do a fairly heavy overhaul on the way things will work in Ideo and I need time to put it all together; I'm switching to text rather than handwriting, I'm doing a short intro and cover page for chapter 1, I need to redraw one or two things on the first two pages, and I think I'd like to try putting something other than flat colours in. I may or may not put up the next page of the old run, since rather than syncing up the archives, I think I'll just do everything from scratch, and do it better. But some work already went into the next one. Maybe it'll turn up, just for kicks.

I'm working on site-related stuff. I've been drafting up logos and got one of them finished, a home button around which comic subsite banners will be built. I took some time to decide between a dedicated original site, or a page on an established comic hosting site, and I think going all-original will be better for me in the end.

Good Times is going to keep running here on DA until the day the site is up and running, so all you guys will have something to read. Maybe you don't enjoy it quite as much as Ideo, maybe you think it's ten times as good. Either way, I have some great plans and I'm working with the other authors to make it something special, so I hope you enjoy what's to come.

But aside from all that, things are still pretty busy, so finding time to work steadily on the big stuff can be tough sometimes. For now, whatever progress is made will go here on DA, everything from sketches and art to comics to site news.

Peace out.

Well, I do (relatively inexpensive!) commissions, there's a link in my sig to a journal page explaining all that. I'm really busy right now though, with a ton of art projects and with work (I've actually had to cancel some stuff I had flat out offered to people in my downtime), so requests are pretty much off the table. Sorry. :/ You can ask, but the odds that I'll get around to drawing it are slim to none unless I'm gettin' fat stacks of cash for it. >w>

Alright, Myke, I've decided. My first sketch request.
I ain't sure if there's something wrong with the Note-sending feature or not, but knowin' how screwy this new DeviantArt Vista can be, I'm gonna take the safe side and type it out right here where I can be sure it'll reach you.

OK, so, my 1st sketch request... How 'bout... Oh yeah. Electronic Arts' B.O.B.
For reference, he looks somethin' like this or this. Good luck.

Oh dude, I used to love that game! If they ever put it up on Virtual Console I'll grab it in a heartbeat. All right, I'll get started on that today then. By the way, when you go to send a note, I think you have to scroll pretty far down the page to find the text boxes and buttons. Hope that helps. O_o

Hahaha, it's certainly a surprise to hear you loved that game too.
For me, it's probably my favourite 2D shooter of all time.

Anyway, according to Wikipedia, "EA Replay" on the PSP has it, in case you're interested.

Also, thanks for the info about the Notes. I'll keep that in mind.
