I've been meaning to post these for a while now, but circumstances of late have kept me busy and unable to keep pace. I promise that I have a comic in the works, but in the mean time, here's something boring and irrelevant to hold you over. =P
Since I did my Chun-Li sculpture, I'd been messing around with polymer clay more and decided to make these earrings. I've never made jewelry before, ever, unless you count wreaths of grass and weeds I used to make when I was a little girl. This is really my first attempt at making them, and it's probably not an original idea by any means. I just thought it would be nice, easy little project to try this whole thing out on. Again, I haven't consulted any jewelry-making guides or tutorials, so I couldn't tell you the best way to do this, or if what I'm doing is standard or correct. I just sort of went to the art supply store and did what I thought would make sense. *Shrugs.* The results are satisfactory.
So yeah, Airheads are delicious. The earrings are good for wearing with casual clothes, and I've worn them to work on several occassions; although, I have to get in the habit of not sleeping in them, since as they're hand-made, I worry that I don't have the skills to have made them sturdy enough. Oh well. It's fun, though I need to stop doing all this girly stuff on my spare time and get back to drawing comics! >.<

I apologize for the lack of a timely update, but I won't lie to you. Instead of working on a comic, I played Soul Calibur and Bioshock half this past weekend. The other half I spent on this stupid Chun-Li sculpture I made, just because I started messing with some Sculpey and couldn't stop. Don't give me clay of any kind, ever. I've experienced this even with my niece and nephew's Play-Doh. Anyway, you can read all about it in my personal blog. At least, on the bright side, I crossed something off my 101/1001 list, I feel a little bit productive. I thought I would share this with you guys anyway, as it's somewhat video-game related. Here are pictures of the final product.

It's nothing fantastic, but I think it's okay, considering it's my first real polymer clay sculpture, and the fact that it's only 3 inches high. I definitely want to refine my sculpting techniques, make my own Hero-Clix and shit. Hmmmm....
In other news, I've been finding more ways to utilize my mobile phone, so this past week, I got NewsGator on here, have been trying to get an easier way to post blogs directly to Level 99, and I got one of those neat little Twitter thingies. So if you gots one, and aren't afraid to use your unlimited text plan, come follow me! I'm going to try and use it to text Level 99 updates, if you're into that.

23/07: Batman Birthday
|
I apologize for the delay of the updates but with the premiere of The Dark Knight and my birthday this past weekend, today's comic had a long incubation period. You can read about all the shenanigans on my personal blog.
What can I say about The Dark Knight? It was a fantastic movie, but I still think Batman Begins was better, and maybe even surpassed by Iron Man. Don't get me wrong, though, all are very excellent movies, and I'd watch all of them multiple times and be happy. The late Heath Ledger's performance was not nearly as bad as some have anticipated, if not in fact quite good. It's a different take on the Joker, but it befits the tone and style that Christopher Nolan is trying to project. The only complaint I have about it, where I found myself not taking the movie seriously, was every time costumed Batman talked, in his raspy, magnified batvoice. I know, he's a man dressed like a bat who can't turn his head, of course you can't take it seriously, yeah, I get that argument...but Batman is supposed to be COOL, not silly. How did they manage to not make it so silly in the previous movie? Did he have less lines? Was his voice less magnified? I don't know. What I do know is that the replacement of Katie Holmes and not having to see her pompous mug anywhere in the entire movie is definitely a plus. I also thought it was funny that the main Asian character's role centered around being really good at math. All in all, it was a great movie and I loved it.
Well, so did my dad, apparently.
This is my dad, you guys...and he totally picked that shirt out himself. It's funny, because all my life I've always thought that I didn't have anything in common with my father, and here I am, coveting his t-shirt that he proudly proclaims he purchased from Anchor Blue. Who'da thunk it?

12/07: It's a nice day.

So I'm writing this post on my phone, while I'm chillin' at my apartment complex's pool. Even with the traffic, the heat, and the annoying Orange County people, at times like these I really like living in Southern California.

As co-headhoncho here at Level 99, I get caught up in my work. Also as someone who doesn't read webcomics in general, doesn't really care about what other people think is funny, or doesn't even have a television subscription, I can probably get a bit out of touch. So, fair readers, I had a tender moment and thought about what you might want for a change, at least in terms of the actual comic. Sooo......
Was there something you wanted, but was not included in this poll? You can take it up in the forums. I would really like to know what you guys think.
EDIT: Okay, I screwed up. I tried to declare this forum closed, and for some reason it fudged the numbers. Boobs did, in fact, win this poll with a total of 56 votes.
