Oh noes Myan.
Birthday coming up this October 25th, so excuse me if I didn’t update next week. I’ll be 21, holy crap!
Notes (10/23/2014)
Writing this when I’ll be turning 23 in two days. Hurray me, hurray cake! Okay, to be honest I don’t really get that excited about birthdays anymore… Oh, some people were confused about where they are, this might help. We had some weird angular walls there too since it’s supposed to be “artsy” and stuff.

[[Myan being loud on top of Keith's head]]
Myan: Meowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeow
[[Myan explores someone's bag]]
[[Myan stealing the professor's whiteboard marker]]
[[Keith and Myan outside the classroom, with both Keith and the professor looking annoyed. Myan looks happy.]]
Had a lot of fun on my birthday, and again, thanks for the greets! Also Happy Halloween! Let’s see if I can make a drawing about that later. If you want, give me some ideas who they’re going to dress up as.
Transcript
Keith: I'm guessing you flew here, or climbed, I don't know.
You have to go home Myan, you know the way back right?
Myan: W-wait! Uh I mean... meow wait!
Keith: What.
Myan: I just wanted to hang out with you, that's all...
Keith: *sigh* I'm gonna regret this later.
Ok, here's what we're gonna do...
The first panel’s another challenging one. I don’t think 1-point perspective is that great when there’s a wide view, but it is easier to do. I’m also distracted by playing Wakfu and The Walking Dead, durrrrr. I’ll try to update faster next time, like maybe on December 21 or something. Hope nothing happens by then.
Notes (10/23/2014)
Bleargh, I really hate the last panel here, particularly Keith and the red background.
Transcript
[[The group walks down a hallway, Cruz bugs Keith about Myan, Tammy is looking at her camera, and Myan just looking cheerful]]
Narrator: Lunch time!
Cruz: Hey hey, since Myan's here, can we-
Keith: Still no Mr. Sleepypants
[[Cruz gets defensive]]
Cruz: What, come on, is it against the law to be stylish while studying?
[[Keith mocks Cruz, and he gets annoyed]]
Keith: SNOOORE
Cruz: OKAY I GET IT!
Sorry I’ve been gone a while, was busy with stuff in life. Anyhoo, a belated Happy New Year everyone! And we lived through the end of the world! Hurray for that I suppose.
Man, from now on I’m gonna draw it on paper first, scan, then “ink” it in Flash, like I used to do in the first few pages. It’s so much faster and better than drawing it directly in Flash. See, on some days, I just totally suck in drawing with it so my quality and speed really suffers a lot. I’m still gonna draw some stuff directly in of course, like the last panel here. This way, I might actually be able to stick to a schedule, and doing more pages per week. Still no promises about that though!
Hey, if anyone’s playing Wakfu right now, I’m playing as Sexy Behind. Yeahhhh, I regret the name now. Oh, and if you didn’t know that Wakfu has an animated series, I highly suggest watching it. Now THAT’S how you draw in Flash.

[[Keith and Myan at the cafeteria, looking at the menu]]
Keith: Pick anything you like Myan
Myan: Okay!
[[Myan thinking really hard]]
Myan ...
[[Myan whispers something to Keith]]
<<whisper whisper whisper>>
[[Keith pondering, with Myan being very happy]]
Keith: Didn't occur to me you can't read
Myan: You forgot I'm a cat?
Sorry if it’s not obvious, Myan’s drinking milk. Trying to at least. I dunno, whenever Hibi-Hibi’s appears, the comic’s prone to flashbacks. Maybe she came from Lost or something.
Drawing people is hard enough. Drawing multiple people in the same panel is harder. Drawing them on a table on a specific angle complete with background and props…. damn. Welp I’m still glad I did it and I’m somewhat satisfied with this, compared to my earlier attempts. Also trying out that leafy shadow effect, but I need more practice with it. And yes OWL MYAN. MYOWL. HOO HOO. I don’t really know how to draw owls but it was fun looking at pictures of them.
On other news, I have a job now. Don’t know how it will affect the updates, but it’s gonna be tougher to work on them during the weekdays. My current job involves sitting in front of the computer most of the day too… at least I get moneys, yey. If you want to be updated exactly when the comic updates, try subscribing to the RSS, or maybe following me on Twitter or Facebook, if that’s your thing.

[[Myan "drinking" milk by licking the straw]]
[[Myan noticing something]]
Keith: Uh, so-
-how did you get here?
Tammy:This better be worth the trouble earlier.
Cruz: Mmf!
Myan: Well...
Hibi-Hibi: I don't like this, but...
Hibi-Hibi: ...this is the fastest way to get anywhere!
What’s that? More details? Ok! Had some trouble drawing owl Myan but I’m still glad it turned out ok, I guess. I’m still not sure how to draw the patterns on the feathers.
It’s awesome that I learned a lot about drawing birds, but I’m getting tired of drawing feathers. Still, it’s the only way to get better at drawing them…
Heh Myan. Seriously though, can you blame her?
Other birds she possibly transformed into:
platypus (Myan: It’s got a beak right?)
penguin
ostrich
dodo
Oh yeah, Cat Nine also got featured in Drunk Duck, yipee!
Transcript
Myan: That's weird. When I'm a human, it's like, natural.
Hibi-Hibi: Sorry about that! I only put the knowledge of how to be a human in your collar.
Myan: And then something about different animals and instincts. Anyway, we decided to practice.
Hibi-Hibi: That's not gonna work Myan...
Myan: wheeee
Hibi-Hibi: That's great Myan! (finally..!)
