I just have another case of the writers block.

I know Kim'inay is probably going to say yes but I want it to take up a whole page and I don't know how to draw that.

It doesn't help that the medicine woman is speaking in BIG LETTERS while Kim'inay has normal letters, forcing me to keep using those letters to avoid any confusion.

I suppose the main thing is what kind of background I want. The next page is the end of the chapter and will probably have some sort of fade to white effect but I'm not sure what.


And when It's done I want to go somewhere else before jumping straight to Kim'inay waking up. Probably into the city. But I'm not shure what I want to happen when I get there.

Perhaps ask my readers?
Do any of you guys even read this?

I did not chose to do this but sometimes in the military you got to do things you don't want. I knew that But I never thought that would include leaving.

Fortunately now that I am a civilian I have more time and resources at my disposal. I intend to wait 6 months and than appeal for my discharge to be upgraded from uncategorised to honourable and attempt to re-enlist as either Army or Air National Guard. In the guard I should be able to keep my military and civilian lives in balance fulfilling my need for a mission with my need for freedom.

In the meantime I will Chill with my dad in Orcas Island, Get a job, and most importantly for you guys; catch up with my art. I did a few sketches while I was in the Air Force and as soon as I get a scanner I will upload them.
Standby for moar art.

Should I get a Dinky little Bamboo, A big fancy Intuos, or save up for a Cintiq?

I know I want to have the Medicine woman re-construct Kim'inay's arm (It had to be amputated and re-grown from scratch, The medicine woman is a VERY good doctor.) and have Kim stay in the Medicine woman's Grotto while she recovers. During the period she observes the Medicine woman working and eventually decides she wants to be the liker her.
She asks to become The Medicine Woman's apprentice, and after initially trying to discourage her, The Medicine Woman sees something in her and accepts her apprenticeship.

I wanted to get that far before shipping out but I have no idea how to translate that into pictures.

If this were a novel I could just narrate it like "I spent the next month in that room."
But that doesn't work well in a visual medium.

What to do?

1. I am indecisive because I fear choosing one option is rejecting all other options.
2. I love any kind of information, not matter how obscure or useless.
3. I dislike passivity and think people should be more straightforward.
4. I Dislike people who think they have it all figured out, But often act that way myself. (Hypocrisy is part of the human condition)
5. My Favorite Food is a bacon Cheeseburger.
6. I am Enlisted in the United States Air Force and ship out for basic training on the 14th.
7. I started ruining every day to get in shape for boot camp.
8. I don't have 8 people to tag back ;_;



The Rules:

1. Post these rules. (Done)
2. Each tagged person must post 8 things about their self on their journal. (Done)
3. At the end, you have to choose and tag 8 people and post their icons on the same journal. (Don't have 8 people to tag)
4. Go to their pages and send a message saying you tagged them. (Can't)
5. No tag-backs. (Ok)

Because I have nobody to tag, I give my 8 Tags to anybody who wants them. First come first serve, send me a link to your journal entry.

Some of you may wounder why I have made no mention of school so far,
Well the reason is because, I am enlisted in the United States Air Force. I begin Basic Training in October. Basic training lasts 6 weeks (unless I suck, in which caste is might last longer) after which I will begin training to be a Air Traffic Controller.

I obviously won't be submitting any art while I am in Basic, and I don't know how much free time I will have once for art while in technical school, But That is still a month away. Until then I will continue to post art as often as I can. If My story ends on a cliffhanger I will leave a note explaining everything.

I started uploading my art because I knew I was going away, While posting I decided to get to drawing, And the next thing you know, I have a webcomic. If I wasn't joining the military I should have gone to art school.

Now, Back to the art'ing.
