VOTE on TWC to see your new incentive– a painting I did for class! It's mysterious… find the monster for extra credit! ;)
Hooray, new page done! I did this last night actually, but didn't have my camera with me so I couldn't update :() (lol weird smiley) I did it while watching TCM. There was an awesome Elvis movie on– I think it was Jailhouse Rock? Elvis was SO sexy. In this angsty, badass way– I was so surprised, I guess because nowadays movies odd syntax and not too many contractions. It's cause when I write, especially first-person, I get ‘into character’ so to speak, and the voice just kind of speaks to me, you know? It's almost like being hypnotized– you're aware of what you're doing, and mostly in control, but it's like some imaginary friend is whispering in your ear what to write. wow, I sound weird -_-'
Oh PS, I forgot to mention this in my notes last page, but the tower in the bg is Gediminas' Tower!!!!!!!! OMG I love Gediminas~~! He's like the secret mascot of this comic.
by the way, how does one get featured? it's a goal of mine; if not this comic, then dammit I'll keep making comics until every comic on DD is by me and then they'll HAVE TO feature me ; )
I was always hoping against hope that MisfAs would be featured.. just goes to show I'm my own biggest fan ; )
ooh ooh I'm listening to “Just you, just me”… whadda song!
“oh gee what are you charms for, what are my arms for…” old-timey luvz

Right in the gut! Haha...you have been featured so good for you. :D
Friedenmann at 12:53AM, May 11, 2009
Oh, and I think you've got high chances of being featured. Higher than me, anyway;) You probably just should be over 25 pages long (though there've been shorter comics featured, so I can't think of a rule:().
Friedenmann at 12:51AM, May 11, 2009
I wiki-checked and "militsya" is a valid word. Form "militia" can be used too, but it's easy to confuse it with militia in eg. the US, which is a different thing.

D: He should have hit him harder! So, you use a digital camera to upload your pages? Wow...that sounds faster than my scanner...lol...takes 10 minutes to scan a page in for me. I can't go on enough about how lovely your watercolours are...I really do hope you get a feature...you deserve it.

Very interesting series so far. I am not usually a fan of water colors but you are growing on me.
Kristen Gudsnuk at 6:04PM, May 8, 2009
*jaw drops* heyyy long time no see! thanks, I'm glad you like it! it's just watercolor paints; I've never used watercolor pencils..

patoborracho at 2:47PM, May 7, 2009

Kristen Gudsnuk at 10:51PM, May 6, 2009
me cortó! DX (siguiendo)... que gramática mala!! añadà text boxes para los monólogos interiores!!) la ironÃa es que el español me está matando ahora porque tengo que escribir 15 páginas más esta nocheeee⦠mis ensayos ya están tardes D: machinehead: gracias- er- thanks a lot! I appreciated your comment in the HELWID thread too~~!! Warpedwenger: you're too kind!!! I have room for improvement I know; all I have to do is look at bittertea's art... : O
Kristen Gudsnuk at 10:47PM, May 6, 2009
Patoborracho: tengo que hacer mis estudios D :!! pero despues de que el semestre termine, tendre muchiiiisimo tiempo que translar las paginas nuevas. (y otro DD miembro me dio correciones para las paginas que hice, y las cambie hace unos dias.
Warpedwenger at 10:00PM, May 6, 2009
Well I came here because I wanted to post in the critique thread but I can't see anything that I would change. Well anyway I'll leave a comment while I'm here.
machinehead at 8:26PM, May 6, 2009
Really well done.
patoborracho at 9:55AM, May 6, 2009
malo que no lo has subido al español, pero bueno pues asi mejoraré mi ingles XD
Kristen Gudsnuk at 10:33PM, May 5, 2009
ooh so many comments... :) Thanks max; as usual a man of few words. darkwaterfrey: thanks! Well, first I do the drawings in pencil, and then I do a wash of cadmium yellow over the whole page. (the paper's white). I feel like it helps unify the colors... plus, where would I find cream-colored wc paper? (probable answer: art store) maninblack: hooray! you did it..! :D AGhammer & lemniskate: I'm glad you like the graffiti; idk, I met someone who went to Lithuania and she said that there's a lot of cool graffiti there. The thing is, she didn't go in the early 90s and I imagine that there would be less graffiti back then bc of censorship.. And yeah, it's in english, because I, er, don't speak Lithuanian! I had to look up Lithuanian conjugation for the other graffiti, and I imagine I might have still conjugated the verb wrong.. :O Jonko: Well, fat man vs. young boy-- I think he'll make it. Japanese tv is the best! it's kind of like being on crack though... meganrose: Thanks! heh I really shouldn't complain about not being featured, though; people still manage to find this comic anyway! I'm glad you think I'm a potential candidate though ; D emily_elizabeth: Kazimieras IS cute, huh. subdued little boys are much better than hyperactive ones. ; ) Ryu: thanks!! usedbooks: thanks! I would be pretty freaked out too, if a random guy attacked me!
theprettiestpony at 10:22PM, May 5, 2009
this page ROCKs
darkwaterfrey at 8:32PM, May 5, 2009
Wonderful! Do you tone your entire page first, or is that cream colored watercolor paper?
man in black at 5:03PM, May 5, 2009
i found the monster
Aghammer at 12:12PM, May 5, 2009
Hit him again! err. I dig the "no more" with the soviet hammer icon...nicely done. You should end up featured... as megan says, you have the stuff that they look for :)
Lemniskate at 11:29AM, May 5, 2009
"no more!" So the grafittis are translated too? I found the monster, btw. :)
Jonko at 10:55AM, May 5, 2009
I miss American TV so much... gahhh, Japanese comedy is getting old. Anyway, yes I agree that Kazimieras is adorable. I just hope that he's able to get away though. I can't imagine how they would punish people like him...
megan_rose at 8:37AM, May 5, 2009
Lovely as always. As far as getting featured... I think you have to have a certain number of pages (around 25 or so I think is their rule of thumb), be updating consistently, and have good quality work, all of which you have. Then it's a matter of waiting to be chosen.
Emily Elizabeth at 4:34AM, May 5, 2009
Kazimieras is soooo adorable! And yes, Elvis was really cute back in teh day XD Oh, and you'll be featured in no time!
Ryuthehedgewolf at 3:43AM, May 5, 2009
I love your style! Great page!
usedbooks at 3:40AM, May 5, 2009
Oh, I can feel his panic! Great graffiti!
