Iiii’m back, but not with a huge update this time.
So here’s the finished poster! You might notice that the logo looks different from the one on the banner, which is because it’s a new one I made. The old one just doesn’t seem quite tight enough, y’know? Plus Brad gave some good advice on Webcomics.com in regards to that negative space between the LI and the W. I stuck it on in RGB so you can see it in full eye-searing glory. I’ll be fixing the banner tomorrow.

I’d really like to make some 11×17 borderless versions of this poster, otherwise I’ll be doing 11×17 bordered prints. Either way, I’d like to make them available online. I’ll just have to figure out the proper pricing and shipping method to get them to you guys. But either way, this is KB’s first piece of merchandise! Pretty exciting.

I’ve also been thinking about moving the comic to once a week for a while. I’ll be deciding over the next week or so. Not sure what day is best, but I’d really like more time to get each page right. It might end up being the kind of thing where it’s once a week during school and twice/three times a week during breaks. Ideally, I’ll be once a week for a while and work on building up a buffer so I can return to twice a week with superior pages later.

Also, good to see posts by some of you who will be at exp con! I’m really excited to meet you guys IRL. I’ve met a few readers when at places with Scott, but it feels slightly cooler if you’re there just to see me (and of course all the other stuff at Exp Con xD ). I’ll be at a guest table, so be sure not to look for me at artist alley. Apparently I’m near the entrance kind of, so hopefully you’ll see me right away!
Oh, and if you didn’t know, I got to design the mascots for Exp Con this year. I’ll post those up Tuesday along with some of the prints I’ll be making over the weekend :)

Hearts hearts love you guys. Crash time!

EXP CON and other things

 EDIT: This post has been reformatted into a regular blog post so as not to clog the comic archive :<

Okay first things first:
I will be exhibiting at EXP Con in 2 weeks at St. Augustine California. I’ll be selling various anime prints, some pokemon minis, and an all-new KB poster! Which is what you see there.
I wanted to finish it tonight but there’s a test I should really be studying for.

WHICH BRINGS UP MY OTHER VERY IMPORTANT POINT:

For the 2 weeks before EC, KB will be on semi-hiatus. I’ll be updating with some of the work I’m doing for class and the con, but no pages. This is partly because I really need some time to make prints; as much as KB means to me, sometimes one has to make a bit of money as it were. I also have some commissions I’ve been putting off like an arse that I need to get to.
I’ve also been feeling pretty bad lately about the quality of the pages, especially the shitted out BGs. I think I’m pushing myself too hard for almost nothing, especially since, to be perfectly honest, I’ve been very slowly losing readers sine around April. It hasn’t been that long, but it’s a reminder that as important as I make the whole must-update-twice-a-week thing in my own mind, I’m the only one who’s going nuts about it. Hopefully a couple weeks will give me some time to work ahead and get my mindset back on track, and over all improve the quality of the comic. And finish some of this GD homework >:|

So that said, check out how weird KB’s colors translate to CMYK. The greens are especially challenging. Someday this will be a hassle to deal with when I make books :< Pfff forget books in fact. WHATS WITH THAT ARCHAIC MEDIUM AMIRITE? Webcomics.

And if you happen to live near St. Augustine, please come out and say hi! Especially since they randomly gave me a panel (Which I’m getting switched to a kind of photoshop demonstration) that I’d like to have more than 2 people at, though I’m not holding out for any kind of crowd XD Someone’s coming to the con dressed at The Raccoon, so you can gush at them with me!
