so yeah if you want to read it all in one go, go here:

video tutorialsso as many of you have noticed first one is up...in which i am dealing with a badass case of pollen allergy. for the curious ones, the sound i keep making that sounds like i ate a chiuaua whole is me trying to scratch the back of my throat... and ears..and eyes..and brain at the same time...
aaaanyways, im trying to figure out the themes for the next ones, to kinda give them structure, definitely on my list is reflectivity, details, and techniques and crap like that
then ill definitely have one on some digital inking tricks
prolly gonna do some zbrush ones too, but dont expect to learn that much from me without actually trying shit out on your own too.
and again to remind you all, these are nothing but techniques. if you want to learn how to actually draw... then..draw. if you fail...draw more, if you are the best ever..draw more.... im just here to show you some tips n tricks XD
i mean sure, you might end up pickin up on some stuff from me. but there is no substituti

Small FeatureJust a small feature of some of my most recent favourites I think deserves more exposure.

PillooowwsFirst, sorry if I'm journal spamming this last week. I've written 3 fairly close together, when prior to that I haven't written in a month

.
But I made pillows

I hope they look ok. I think they do.
No, I'm not pressuring or begging for anyone to buy anything ( but who doesn't need a naked Sephiroth pillow?

.. ). I just think pillows are kinda neat for some reason.
..which is surprising, since my mother was always the type to decorate beds with like, 18 pillows~ you'd think I'd have an aversion to them ( know anyone who does that? They have a bed or couch with like, 20 "decorative pillows? An then when you want to get in bed, you have to remove 18 of them to get to the sleeping pillow?

)
Anyways: http://society6.com/KKoji/pillows

Something for no one.It's been a few months.
4 months since I got married. I'm still waiting for the "marriage" factor of it to kick in, but then again, I don't know if it ever will. Maybe the cannon societal perception of marriage doesn't apply to James and I. We get along rediculously well. Never had a fight. Sure we don't always agree, but it has never escalated into an actual fight. We are always able to resolve any dispute with communication and compromise. I also attribute this to a very... very healthy physical relationship. I'll never hold out on him cause it hurts me just as much... Hahaha...
Anyways. We just wrapped up a relaxing and intimate thanksgiving break. We did nothing but enjoy each others company. Saturday, we took a drive to the Chestaee Animal Sanctuary. It was very cool... You get so much closer to the animals than you do at the zoo, and there are no crowds. Pictures are forthcoming... I need to do some photoshop work to get all the fencing edited out.
James got me a new camera for m

happy new year and thanks :)well finally i have ended chapter 1 and im glad to leave it behind in 2012.
This year was good and bad for me in equal amounts, I had 2 deaths in the family and for awhile I was coping with loss in any way I could. I owe alot to my husband and my friends for being there for me when i was really down.
This was also the time i started working on this comic,
mostly thanks to my husband who drew a picture for me, which inspired to the point i made sketches of the characters that were just doing random fun stuff. then those sketches turned it longer and longer strips and the story started forming.
this comic made me convert all the bad energy I had into something good that filed me with tons of positive energy. I would draw from the moment I woke up till the moment I went to sleep. I wanted to see in what kind of funny situations i can put my characters in and then have them face consequences later.
Then came a point when my husband pleaded me to start posting those strips

Journal Entry: Sat Jan 12, 2013, 11:12 AM

you probably noticed that last 2 months have been a clusterf#$k. and so will January.

my work schedule was beyond overloaded, and this January i have to finish my last issue of the artifacts comic, while pushing the issue 1 of aphrodite for top cow parallel with ravine and sunstone.

this January is where my schedule cleans up very nicely and then i can get to spamming stuff oldschool style.

also.. just successfully converted entire first chapter of sunstone to print format ..and ended up 71 pages. since i will be publishing printed versions that contain 2 chapters per issue... the damn book will be the size of ravine...

i guess im a sucker for the graphic novel format.

now, unlike ravine, sunstone will be available here in its entirety. printed version will have revised and improved writing and grammar + polished art. so that those who decide to buy the book ...don't feel ripped off XD

i will probably post another strip fairly soon, but the real fun starts in february

now im off... people to draw , worlds to build XD

Just commenting on that particular typo that kept popping up over and over. I thought it was endearing.
