Busy busy! This year we've been going to every convention we could, even if it was a long shot. Why? Research. We want to get an idea of where our work sells best, and where it doesn't sell any all. You can't assume anything in a world like this. <br />
So far its been an extremely worthwhile experiment! We've had enough surprises that we've thrown out all our assumptions.<br />
By the end of the year we will have been to more come than I can even recall, but we are going to compile our data and see where our time and money is best spent on next years convention schedule!<br />
I've also made some pretty awesome connections in the convention circuit as well. A pleasant surprise :)<br />

I thought I'd post the instagrams all in one place just to show the progress.<br />

Ill try to do better. Been doing so much comic work, and I generally post those on our facebook page. Anyway, I've got some art plans and a phone with a good camera and a blogger app so I'm GOLD!<br>
Here's a little sketch I might turn into a big art later.  </p>
<p>The head in the bottom is not part of it, random doodle. Thumbnail page lol.<br>
Any suggestions in thia early stage?</p>

It's not cheap to go to Conventions, but we really do need to exposure of being out there to push our comics! ACK, so we need a fair amount of money to stock up on our comics to make us able to even break even at the conventions, particularly Calgary Expo.<br />
<br />
So for a limited time, full art commissions. Here is what I am offering.<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">I will only take 5 orders at a time. It's first PAID first served.</span><br />
I'll start with Sketched portrait drawings, and anything else will be an add on from there.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><b>Pricing:</b></span><br />
Sketch Card: 10$ (no add on's. this is a stand alone commission)<br />
<br />
Sketched Portrait: $25<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>ADD inked - +$15</li>
<li>ADD colour - +$30</li>
<li>ADD Full body - +$20</li>
<li>ADD abstract Background - +$10</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, this means if you want an inked portrait in colour, it costs $70</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000;">Please note, It HAS to be inked, to be coloured! Please take that into account</span></div>
To order, just fill out the form below. if It doesn't display or you have problems, <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_US&formkey=dEdlQTM1NEFyeHVvdXZMOV9oOEFRVFE6MQ#gid=0">go here</a>.<br />
<br />
Thank you! <3<br />

There is some awesome imagery in those 2 stories, if I do say so myself.<br />
I started sketching some of the scenes and for once, liked something enough to take it beyond a doodle, or a gesture.<br />

I can't decide whether I want to go full colour with this, or play with warm and cool greys. Anyway, just thought I'd share it before I butcher it with colours and ink, LMAO.<br />

Today was the first I heard of it too.<br />
It's something someone started on livejournal (unfortunately) as a Comic artists alternative to <a href="http://www.nanowrimo.org/">NanoWriMo</a>.<br />
I've decided that while this is an extremely ambitious goal to have, I'm going to try to make the prequel to Conflagration,<a href="http://gurukitty.com/wordpress/2011/07/28/conflagration-2/"> Embers</a>, In this time frame. The goal is a page a day of pencilled comics, and with a full time job besides.. I don't know if I can do it, but I'm sure going to try. I'm working on scripting it out right now, and have layout complete before November 1 so that It's a more obtainable goal.<br />
Embers should be at least another comic to have going to sell at conventions and to generate some interest in my biggest awesomest story I have going right now. Unfortunately because I've been working with these characters so long, everyone knows OF it but really nothing about it. So hopefully this will be an asset to my comic pile.<br />I'm still planning on having Hello, Albertosaurus done by the summer of 2012, then a couple Mini Projects in there as well (2 of them I'm very keen on) then Full production on Conflagration. How cool!<br />

Hello,<br />
I have been doing a few black and white comics lately, and something I've come to value in this adventure is my Copic Multiliner SP's! Oh yes! The Multiliners are a godsend. I've sort of tallied up what it would have cost me to buy disposable pens VS Copic multiliner SP's (refillable) and I've saved over 100$ on these 2 wee comics alone!<br />
<br />
Something else! I have a couple Copic Original in black that I got in my Comic Inking Pro set a while back, and recently I swapped out my Fine nib on it for the Super fine and it's AMAZING!<br />
This is what it looks like:<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ki-68HsGgWg/Tn0q65W31mI/AAAAAAAAEUs/weBL2_GUyTo/s1600/P9230094.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ki-68HsGgWg/Tn0q65W31mI/AAAAAAAAEUs/weBL2_GUyTo/s320/P9230094.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">"One Day to Live" Comic, in progress! Will be available at Vcon sept 30!<br /></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Isn't that a keen nib? I've been adding some line weight and stuff to my inked pages with it! It's awesome because it doesn't get fuzzy like the Fine nibs do, and it is regular copic marker ink. It's like one step up from the .07 size Multiliner which I often crave.<br />
<br />
Anyway, Just thought I'd share that with you :D<br />

We've been trying to come up with more merchandise for conventions and the shop as well. <br>
I've started an intermitted <a href="http://gurukittystudios.blogspot.com">blog only</a> web comic called bad kitties. No set schedule on that one, its just cute blog content. I've also started a dinosaur calendar that should hopefully be available in september at vcon, but that would be pretty miraculous. If nothing else it will be in the shop.<br>
We've got 3 conventions sceduled and paid for one in august, one in september and one in november. So we're keeping very busy!<br>
Only a few days left to submit to ghost tales and we're still accepting calgary donations!</p>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">We are taking a big leap in our Comic Convention adventures. This time we're diving into Calgary Expo. We've heard great things from other people who've attended the Expo, and we're really excited to take our comics there! By the time the expo is here we should have ghost tales and maybe even Hello Albertosaurus at least available for Pre-order!

It costs a lot to travel these days. especially by plane and with lots of Luggage. To sell for 3 days, thats a Lot of merchandise. We need 2 plane tickets, hotels, and other costs. We live rather simple lives so we don't need much. Please take a look at our campaign below:</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

It would be really amazing if you could help us by donating some money, or even just promoting it for us! If you have Twitter, facebook, google+, Tumblr, blogs, or websites or anything (your dA journal for example)! if you could just promote our cause, and get the word out we'd be forever in your debt!<br />
<br />
We have a campaign goal we're trying to meet.<br />

I wanted to win for the validation of winning and someone saying my stuff was good. I'm the only person who pats me on the back. I never had an interest in a mainstream company picking up my work, and in retrospect I believe that's what they were canvassing for.<br />
Working for one of those places (DC, Marvel) is actually one of the few art related jobs that makes me cringe.<br />
<br />
Having said that, I had a lot of nice stuff happen this week that helped boost my spirits and this time, from a Company that I really like and respect.<br />
Copic marker featured me on their new Copic Social Network - <a href="http://copiccolor.com/">Copic Color</a> In fact, it's been 2 days I've been up there and I'm still the "featured Created".<br />
On top of that, they've been tweeting the heck out of me as well, and as a result I've gotten a few new followers.<br />
I also was featured <a href="http://copicmarker.tumblr.com/post/7542760983/copic-markers-copic-illustration-paper-white">my submission</a> on their Tumblr account! I was pretty please about that.<br />
I love Copic as a company their PR is great, products are amazing and ...ya. I want to work for them! LOL<br />
<br />
So we've also got a lot of convention lined up! check out <a href="http://gurukittystudios.blogspot.com/">Gurukitty Studios blog</a> and see where we will be and when!Jayleen Weaverhttps://plus.google.com/107880142583063369283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446059965793358860.post-31586274897323144802011-06-11T06:07:00.001-07:002011-06-11T06:07:54.298-07:002011-06-11T06:07:54.298-07:00Daily DeviationHEY! I got A DD today!<br />
SChweet!<br />
<a href="http://guruubii.deviantart.com/art/Hello-Albertosaurus-page-9-206382557">Albertosaurus Page 9</a><br />
<br />
Thanks to Damaged927 and kangel for that!<br />
Heres some info on the comic:<br />
Hello, Albertosaurus is a Comic memoir of a trip myself, Kitty, and our dad took to Alberta to visit Dinosaur National Park and the Famous Drumheller Royal Tyrell Museum. The comic will be a full colour from cover-to-cover graphic novel. It will be coloured traditionally with Markers and will be a 6"x6" square comic. It will be available to purchase in the shop and at conventions when it's complete.<br />
<br />
The first chapter is available to read online here at dA as well as other places (see links in description of the DD - too lazy to dig) and the rest will be print only :)<br />
<br />
Thanks so much!<br />
