Avatars and Redesigns Et Cetera

So I’ve been working off and on to get the site back to a reasonable level of presentation. I’m done with most of the basic fixes now, but I’m interested to hear your guys thoughts on the site. Does the layout look reasonably professional? Does the lightened box around things look stupid? These questions are pressing! (Don’t forget that it’s probably best to check on an archive page, considering the layout fail the Mango pages cause) Any opinion or advice is appreciated. I’m no professional at this site design thing, that’s for sure.

As you comment (if you so choose), you may notice that all the blank avatars have been suddenly replaced with random KB characters. I uploaded some basic options that you can choose from if you don’t want to upload your own avatar.
Tell me if you have any trouble with it or if any display incorrectly. I should probably make a non-administrative account to test it, but I… I don’t wanna?
If you have a particular panel you’d like to be your avatar, just tell me and I’ll upload it to the set (assuming it isn’t a drawing I regret). I’ll probably go back and add some Mango ones now that I think about it.
In other general goings-on, I’m currently fixing up some of the earlier Mango pages to send in to Scholastic. I’ll tell ya how that turns out. This weekend I’m leaving for a week trip to visit my sister and my mom, where I’ll be meeting my sister’s new dog.
That’s Her—->
So. Goddamn. Cute. You know I will be spamming you with pictures at some point because PAPPY.

In tertiary news, I’ve recently gotten a bug up my butt to start a Rainbow Brite redraw project of sorts. If you remember RB for ultimate nostalgia action, just hit up my dA gallery for the first 2. Of course, there is much to be done, so I’ll be trying not to spend ALL my time on such extravagances. *doodle Stormy doodle*

Coming this Summer!

As some of you may know, one of my plans for the summer is to create a 30-page sample comic to pitch to Scholastic. I met the man in charge of Scholastic’s Graphix line (a relatively new line of comics that includes things like Bone and Amulet) at SCAD’s Editor’s day, and I was really encouraged to give it a shot.

So what does a girl like me make for a kid-friendly comic? Well a ridiculously cutesy fantasy adventure, of course! The tentative title is “Mango”, which is the name of the main character. Some of you from dA know her history but try not to make any assumptions based on it. ;) Namely, she doesn’t eat anything to change powers.

So what does this mean for you guys?

Well, I plan to post the pages up once per week as I start making then, in batches of what will hopefully be three to five each time. I don’t plan to let this interfere with KB’s update schedule, but if things get down to the wire I may have to miss a couple days. But I’m trying not to let that happen again, especially since I am missing my first update ever RIGHT NOW. *sigh*

I’m not sure what day of the week I’ll post ‘em on, but I’ll be sure to announce when it begins. I’ve gotta plan them all out first! (Which is a first for me, haha.)

So keep an eye on the horizon, ’cause something’s coming down the pipe! It’s exciting, right? Much more exciting than a page of Steffi coming home and sitting on the couch. (OMG SPOILERS)

Meanwhile, here’s a couple more unexplained images! The guy on the flying board won’t show up in the pitch, but if the comics gets accepted he’ll become the costar!

    Couldn’t just leave it at three warmup megukas, so here’s a Kyoko.

    I always wondered whether they purposefully made her stick out from the other girls visually, or whether she was added later on and didn’t get designed by Ume Aoki like the rest.
