First off, whatever DeviantArt did when they changed their layout or whatever...'effing killed my computer. Seriously, crashed my internet and made dvart stop working for over a month. So that's my current excuse for not leaving comments...yeah. **whistles innocently**

Secondly, I haven't really been drawing, and what I do draw sucks monkey scrotum. Binge upload (obviously) of the least crappy. None of it is finished, and none of it will ever be. I should be putting it all in scraps, but I'm sick of having art from July up. ]]> ~DullGlitter http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/2853290/ http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/2853290/ Sun, 11 Jul 2004 01:52:09 PDT
1. Yes, I am alive. Although the Deviation-Drought will speak otherwise, I am ALIVE!

2. I have not been commenting on art. I know that people are probably thinking "Wow, how rude! She devwatched me, then ignores me!" I'd like to say that there's a good reason for this, but, alas, there is not. I suppose I have simply been unmotivated...and slightly overwhelmed when my "new deviation" list skyrocketed over 120... But I vow to do better.

3. "Where is that comic-thing?!" you may ask. It, umm, died. A horrible neglectful death I might add. But out of it's forgotten pages a new and glorious comic shall emerge! Well, actually, it's the same freakin' thing, but the characters and the plot are just tweaked...gloriously tweaked!

4. Does anybody even GIVE a shit about the comic? **cricket** YEEEEAH...that's what I thought...reply to this if you really care to see the comic brought back.

5. Hello Sabrousians! Deities and mortals alike! Some of you have recieved character art...and some of you shall be recieving it...shortly...ish...

6. There is no number 6...I just like lists. ]]> ~DullGlitter http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/2586305/ http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/2586305/ Fri, 04 Jun 2004 23:53:04 PDT
Sorry that I haven't been commenting on people's art. It's rather mean of me to devwatch you and then ignore you...but I have my reasons.

The main one is that my school is after my blood...
I have been swamped with work even though I'm do to graduate. The reason for this is another reason why i haven't been drawing/commenting much:

My health. As some of you know, I have nerve problems in my arms. This limits my drawng ability, along with my school-work ability.

On the flip side, I AM going to be graduating. So I'll have a bit of free time come summer (before college is out for my blood). I'll start being more active on DevArt then.

Things to look foward to:
1. Comments/Critiques
2. Start of Dull Glitter v.2.0
3. Fun art "experiments" (I have these new watercolor oil pastels...**drool**)
3. BETTER ART. (ok, not a hard thing to do but meh...)

Until then, adieu mes amies! Bon chance!

P.S. A Note to SABROUS folks: **waves** Thanks for devwatching me! Giftart of your characters shall ensue. Also, a reference sheet for Corby is in the works. See you in North Tek! ]]> ~DullGlitter http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/2426786/ http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/2426786/ Fri, 14 May 2004 09:48:00 PDT would say "hugemongous") project for school coming up and I need to get a good grade on it...because I'm anal rententive.

Also, for some reason DA has been freezing my computer.
This happened a few years back when I first started with DA, and I found that staying away from it for a bit helps...I think all of the graphics overload my system.

If you're looking for something to do, there's a great new MUD called Sabrous. It's my first MUD, and I'm having a blast! Go check it out! ]]> ~DullGlitter http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/2355413/ http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/2355413/ Tue, 04 May 2004 00:09:48 PDT

Once again GIFT ART AT 500!!!

P.S. - I'm going to start my half of the art trade soon! Sorry! ]]> ~DullGlitter http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/2291209/ http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/2291209/ Sat, 24 Apr 2004 19:58:24 PDT
The information presented so far in the comic is all still relivent, but I have whole new ideas as to how to preset it. I need to work out a few bugs, so it might be a while before Dull Glitter 2.0 launches.

Also, I do write prose from time to time. Does/would anybody read it if I post it here?

I'm looking to do art-trades. Send me a note if you're interested! (You draw Artaith, Kegan, and/or Razvan and I draw one of your personal characters.)

P.S. A bit premature, but gift-art for pageview number 500. ]]> ~DullGlitter http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/2146308/ http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/2146308/ Sat, 03 Apr 2004 19:13:16 PST
I just bought a dip pen (Hunt 102 crow quill and 107 hawk quill nibs) and some ink, so I've been playing with that. It's really a great media to work with, especially if you like to use a lot of lineweights.

I can see a bright future for my dip pen and me... ]]> ~DullGlitter http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/1951371/ http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/1951371/ Thu, 04 Mar 2004 14:01:17 PST
I think I have some new directions I want things to go in anyway.

But I will be adding random comic-related art here from time to time. So keep checking back!

I'm (slowly) working on page 11 in hearty celebration. ]]> ~DullGlitter http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/1787255/ http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/1787255/ Tue, 03 Feb 2004 09:51:06 PST
They're still trying to get things fixed.

I'd be more upset if I had new comics to post. But unfortunatly I don't. My arms are not in a good way at the moment...all of my medication is being switched around repeatedly to try and make thing better.

I feel bad for looking like a flake for getting out 10 pages, then stopping. This is a project that I REALLY want to see through, as I have a lot of ideas and much love for these characters.

I promise, the comic WILL have new pages. ]]> ~DullGlitter http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/1745739/ http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/1745739/ Mon, 26 Jan 2004 16:00:26 PST I am now switching the comic over to Keenspace. This means that this site will NO LONGER BE UPDATED. REPEAT: THERE WILL BE NO NEW COMICS UPLOADED TO THIS SITE.

To continue reading the comic, please go to http://denilehigh.keenspace.com

To continue commenting on the comic, please join the forum at http://dullglitter.proboards26.com

This site will only be used as a back-up system should keenspace go down for extended periods of time (and possibly to hold comic-related art).

As always, thank you for reading, and I hope that you'll follow the move over to Keenspace! ]]> ~DullGlitter http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/1739196/ http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/1739196/ Sun, 25 Jan 2004 13:00:44 PST
There will be much butt-kicking in the near future.

More in-depth info about this page and the move to Keenspace posted in the forum.

Thank you always for reading! ]]> ~DullGlitter http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/1733173/ http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/1733173/ Sat, 24 Jan 2004 10:09:28 PST Found Here ([link])

This is so that people who are reading this through deviantart and through my LJ can be on the same wavelength.

Now I won't have to double post things in both journals. Also, not only can you comment on the comic, but discuss it with other people.

I'll post update info, etc. there once I move to Keenspace and stop updating here. So please join.

Thanks! ]]> ~DullGlitter http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/1728616/ http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/1728616/ Fri, 23 Jan 2004 10:00:05 PST
Enter the dialog. And my inability to draw speech bubbles. And more bad attempts at perspective. Yeah.

But hey, you get to meet Lukas!

But on a serious, important note, I finally figured out Keen's FTP process. So the comic will be moving to Keenspace soon. I will continue to update this site until I get the Keenspace site totally functional. Which might be a while since I'm having trouble with editing the index template.

When I DO move to keenspace, I will post a note here with the new address.

Keen will be nice, since I will have both unlimited space AND the ability to customize things (banners, link pages, character bios, etc.)

HOWEVER, I will lose the "comment" ability that DeviantArt provides.

SO, I'd like to set-up a forum or a Live Journal community. Not sure which. If anybody has a preferance, please tell me.

But it would be silly of me to do this if I have, like, one reader. So ANYBODY who is reading this comic, either reply to this or email me (believemylie@hotmail.com) should you not have a deviantart account. I'll also be taking a tally in my LiveJournal if you know me IRL.

Just on more thing that I'd like to mention before it comes up in the comic:

There is a homosexual character and there will be a homosexual relationship. If this offends you, please just stop reading.

I mention this now so that we don't get deep into the plot, only to have this pop up and people go "WTF? Why is she gaying-up this comic?!" and then flame me. I don't like flames or homophobes as both make me very mean and angry.

Thank you fine readers, and have a good day! ]]> ~DullGlitter http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/1722559/ http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/1722559/ Thu, 22 Jan 2004 07:44:31 PST
But that's not excuse...

Two pieces of good news though:

1) This is the end of the prose/narration for a while. The next page starts with DIALOGUE!!! **gasp**

2) The next page is mostly penciled in. So it SHOULD be up soon. (a day or so?)

However, I still need to find the comic a more perment home. Keenspace has been kicking my ass every time I attempt to use it (and I've heard other badness surrounding it...)

SO...I either need to:

1) Find somebody who can explain Keen's FTP process to me (it's rather contrived)

2) Get somebody to host me.

3) Half-ass something together using Tripod or Angelfire or Geocities (or any combination of the three).

4) Figure out a way to PAY for some hosting.

**sigh** ]]> ~DullGlitter http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/1698916/ http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/1698916/ Sun, 18 Jan 2004 03:37:20 PST
Page 7 is essentially the way the "real" comic will look. I might tweak the inking a bit here and there (new style of inking for me) and get more abstract with the panels once I get to actual dialogue. (grr...only one or two more pages...)

If things are
1. too hard to read
2. too visually confusing
3 don't make sense
please tell me. I'm new at this and have no idea what I'm doing...

And because people asked so nicely...

I have a nerve problem in my arms/hands that causes pain and loss of control. So when I draw, it sometimes hurts and when I ink, the pen sometimes wobbles. So my art often lacks the finesse I'd like it to have. Hopefully the comic will force me to develop those qualities. ]]> ~DullGlitter http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/1693759/ http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/1693759/ Sat, 17 Jan 2004 05:29:24 PST
I'm afraid that the first two or three pages will still be prose/narration rather than dialogue. But it's all for the best so that you know what's going on. I'll want to upload these more wordy pages together as soon as they're all done, so it might be a few days until another update.

After that, as the REAL real story progresses, I might get onto a more structured update schedule. (Ex. new pages every Wednesday and Saturday or something to that effect). ]]> ~DullGlitter http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/1682729/ http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/1682729/ Thu, 15 Jan 2004 01:08:06 PST
Mmkay, now onto the REAL story, with the nice, abatract-looking pages and such. And less words. Some of that text was a pain to format...

But I'm kinda happy with how these last two pages came out. Although the first panel on page 5 was a bitch because I had to go and look-up clothing for each founder (which is what took so long with the update. Page 6 was done BEFORE page 5.) And page 6 is a total cop-out. But it LOOKS pretty good.

I still have no clue how to shade. This is going to stay black-and-white for a while I guess. Damn. ]]> ~DullGlitter http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/1674553/ http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/1674553/ Tue, 13 Jan 2004 14:59:16 PST
(But FYI, the blood-spray effect in the last panel is DONE BY HAND. No computers for me...cause I have no idea how to use them...)

Pages 5 and 6 (I lied, this will be a 6 page intro) are about 40% done. I just have to draw one more panel for each, then ink, scan it in, clean it up and add text. (The final few steps of this take all of about 2 seconds.)

Still no idea about what to do about shading. Opinions welcome. ]]> ~DullGlitter http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/1648680/ http://DullGlitter.deviantart.com/journal/1648680/ Thu, 08 Jan 2004 14:41:34 PST
I still have a few things I need help with:

1. Title. I'm PRETTY sure I'm going to use "Life in Death" (am I the ONLY one who loves "Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner" ?!) However, I've also been contemplating "Dissatisfied Utopia", "Far from Par" and of course, "Dull Glitter". (Note: I would have taken "Life in Death" as my username, but some punk-ass kid who never USED their account already took it.)

2. Shading. The stark black and white thing ain't staying. I WOULD do grayscale, but that's done by so many people. I don't want to blend in too much. And color is pretty much out as it takes me too long to do. I would LIKE to do the one-color shaded look a-la "Return to Sender", but then I'd look like a copy-cat. Any Ideas?

3. Hosting. Right now I'm milking the lovely (yeah, right…) DeviantArt for all it's worth. But I don't think that this will be a good idea for a permanent home, you know? I'm afraid to use Geocities and the like due to ads/space restraints. So, any ideas on that would be lovely too… ]]> ~DullGlitter
