Ride on! I just got a Rydia figure, and I noticed she could fit in Lagann. And since The Prince on my shelf always rides in Lagann, it was only right that they both ride together in Laganns. The afternoon light helped make this more dramatic. I feel like I'm on my desk, experiencing Adventure!



What awaits?

One of my favorite things in the world is pixel art. Well, I suck at it, so I make psuedo-pixel art. Above is my first attempt at making a sig banner for Montrose Academy Forums. It's 32 colors and 22 frames, and it comes out at 80KB. Not bad, but not good enough. I wanted something under 30KB. Also, it's a bit big for a signature.


So one debate later, I came out with this one. This one is 32 colors with only 11 frames, and it's only 28KB. NICE. It's a bit jumpy, but I like it. It's kind of cute and mesmerizing. Bunny-Mech is meant to bounce up and down like he's rolling along a bumpy ground. Realism, folks! If it gets annoying for people in the forums, I'll take it away.

Dog's done!

Hey! I got around to taking some screenshots of the Montrose Academy 9th Anniversary 1GB USB Drive Bonus Comic Archive! Let's take a look. Above is the main screen. This is a 1440x900 screen, I'm using here. Look at that bold design. I wish I had put Bunny-Mech on Makoto's shoulder (guy on right). Oh well. Next time.



So what's so great about this drive other than the awesome comics? It updates! Yes, you can get the latest comics if you update the drive using the Internet. When you have a connection, just click the "Update" link.



It's updating! Look at that bar move! Look at the stars spin! Whee!



Here's what menu for the Jar looks like. What's that in the lower left? Who knows! ^_~



And here's what an SGVY comic page looks like. Looks just like the real site. Still, it's not on the Internet, and you own it. It's superior!

That's the Montrose Academy 9th Anniversary 1GB USB Drive Bonus Comic Archive. We made it in a week. The programming was done in two days, which is pretty impressive. Harry Lime rules. I hope you will get one if you haven't already. ^_^



In SGVY news, I'm going to start posting the status of the next issue here in Montrosesketchbook. I get lots of emails about this and quite a few suggestions to have a status bar or something. I think this is a good way to do it. And hey, you get a SECRET view into the making of the comic that all can see. Not very SECRET, but SECRET makes it sound special or something.

This issue's going to be three pages, which is less than usual, but it will have some accompanying 4-panel comics. I don't know how many, but at least three or four.

Anyway, debatin' time's almost here. See y'all!

Let's see this show.

So after a three day migraine and a bout of "stupid hand," I decided I should work on something. The only thing that came to mind was another Link/Sonic piece. I call this one "No More Genesis." Poor Sonic. He sucks at whatever they're playing. ^_^ I think I'm going to fall back on these two when I get "stupid hand." That reminds me; I have to work on that doujinshi... Gah...

Beautiful sun is back. I love Fall. I want to go drink coffee in the sun. Too bad Braeburn's screen hates the sun. Learn to love, Braeburn!

Such a creepy laugh...
