Meditation of the Artist
Filed under: Rambling
Posted on: April 5, 2008 by Kam
Well after the whole London ordeal, several things changed which kinda put my real life upside down. From emotional problems (definitely not a la Shinji/Evangelion), laziness (the usual), end-of-school-period nearing and general bad situations.
HOWEVER!
After traveling through my head in a “search for myself” through deep meditation, a lot of catch-up sleeping and reading manga, I think I’m almost back to 100%.
During these travels I realized I’m in a state of boredom and have this feeling that I have nothing to do, or plainly refuse to do anything because it’s boring. And I have to kick that out of my head before I start thinking eating falls into that category (though I admit that I haven’t eaten a lot this week).
My conclusion fell upon that my Hikikomori-field was degrading and that I was craving for the outside world, how shitty it may be in this neighborhood. But that’ll be a story for another day.

To London!

Yesterday morning we returned from London. Then till dinner, I took a nap.
That was one of the best naps I ever had.
Still have a slight headache, but I’ll figure something out about the comic.
London, great place when you aren’t forced to do school assignments.
The hostel itself was kinda meh. The relax room was awesome, having a pool table and comfy chairs. The disco was too loud and our room was right above it.
And the free breakfast sucked in general. Now the bathrooms, things were growing in there.
We visited the Science Museum and another one with some earthquake-like crack in it. Forgot the name. Also did a theater-practice imagining a piece of paper was a bird and “A what? A what? A what? It’s a Tic! A What? A Tac! Ah, it’s a tac. A what?” That was some brain-cell killing practice right there with ~25 people. We managed though. The Banksy hunt was a hellhole as well. Since a big chunk of his graffiti was removed that we had to look. So hours of aimlessly walking around, we get called by another group who finds one in the sewers. Lovely. It also has a rat problem.

Yup, that’s the latest wallpaper added to the Requiem for Sanity download page in 3 different sizes!
Since it was such a cool picture in #092, I though it deserved some glory.
#093 should auto-update tomorrow morning, since I’ll be off to London for a few days, which might be bliss or torture. We’ll see.
One thing is for sure; it’ll be McDonalds every day (Only breakfast was free ;_;)
See you all on Friday again!
March Planning, Onwards!

So with a weekend + a free day + a half free day all after each other, I have concluded that I can draw a comic somewhere in that time span when I’m motivated enough.
So! As a final decision, Requiem will now we updated on Tuesdays and Saturdays! (Odd days, I know. it just works out better for me).
Let the festivities begin!

An Avenger’s Alice Battle Around the Campfire

And that title is what you get when mixing three different things..
First things first, two new Requiem comics are up. 86 and 87. More after the weekend I’d guess. Will Tsuki’s premonition come true!?
SOUL BROTHERS!
*ahum*
So I watched Avenger this week, all eps of it, and I don’t know.. I got mixed feelings after watching it. I had to google around to understand what actually just happened (Figure, not a single site explained it). Though all did say “mixed feelings” as well.
It’s one of those anime’s that tear up your mind so you’re left off wondering: Now what?
It’s kinda Claymore-ish (Or the other way around. This is from 2003, kids) with a doll/kid and a woman travelling the wastelands of friggin’ MARS. Oh, also a comic relief dollmaker stalking them. Either way, the main character, Layla, can be more emotionless than Rei Ayanami. Heck, she only says like 4 words every episode! It’s rare for more to come out. Either way, she only wants to kill the current ruler of Mars.
The last episode just leaves you with a blank stare. Just watch the series and you’ll understand. If someone here has seen the series and actually GETS it please tell me. It’s weird, since I understand Evangelion and Elfen Lied perfectly :S

Akira’s Done For

Okay, I’m not very keen on Live-Action adaptions of Anime. Though I am looking forward to Evangelion, because.. An EVA-fan is actually directing it. I have faith he won’t butcher it up. And WETA-Workshop is doing the effects. Should be promising.
Death Note was okay but.. Why wasn’t Misa blond? Don’t get me started on Negima where they have all the colors of the rainbow in the anime but black/brown in the LA-movie.

Into the Time machine!

Ah.. Even though we ain’t even at 100 comics yet, I kinda have this story stuck in my head so I’ll post it now anyways (I also renamed this thing to “Articles”. Makes more sense with my random blabbering about things).
*cough* *ahum*
Now, people might remember this.. From WAAAYYYY Back:

No, your eyes are not deceiving you, not-so-oldschool readers!
Requiem for Sanity was originally with a cast of 4 Main Characters! And two of them weren’t even created in-game yet. Funny, that I made Raldy & Dansk months overdue :P
Now, Requiem for Sanity’s planning started shortly after the Guild Wars Factions Beta. I was kinda obsessed with my beta-Assassin at the time (Who is now the well-known Tsukimiya Sora). On January 23 2006, the first official preview of Requiem was showed in Webcomic “Anivoy” Issue #089. Later on two comics, kinda rantish.. But let’s forget those.
The first official comic of the Requiem comic started on February 1st 2006. Then real-life kicked in for a few months. Stupid.
As for the official release, drastic changed were made. The introduction of Child-Gwen, Karuro, Mai, Tabris.. All characters who originally weren’t in the first concept sketches.

The pet-wolf Excel being kinda forgotten in the background.
Enjoy :)
Burning soul! Kick all your reason to the curb! This is AE v9.1!

And I’m pretty darn satisfied with it! Small changes here and there. Least the main part still has the same links.
Now. I’m going to revamp the summaries sometime later, so there’ll be another post about it when it’s done. But now for the funky part, I managed to install a sweet comic-script which takes off a load of work for me!

Requiem 2 years? No wai!
Filed under: Webcomics
Posted on: February 2, 2008 by Kam
So it’s already been 2 years huh.. Damn. Actually, yesterday it was 2 years but it was a long day. Trust me on that one.
Now to celebrate, 3 comics! yes, THREE!
Another three coming up later this week (maybe), but I’m trying my best to actually get a reasonable number of comics in to make up for the.. Months of no comics. So, yes.
Anivoy looks kinda forsaken here though. Don’t worry, we’ll CPR it someday!
It does mean Julie was right about there being “no next year” for more celebrations. Maybe it’s the lack of female influence in this comic. Who knows.
Now back to squishing some Jade Brotherhood. They’re annoying.
