Winter break

Well Happy Belated Christmas and a Merry Early New year!

Right now my semester of college is already over, ever since our finals on the 24th. Hopeful my grades for math would be a bit higher then last semester, then I could take my last math course on the next one. As for english, if I pass It'd be my last one. My grades don't come until tomorrow. Next semester begins Jan 19th.

As for work, they've been cutting my hours since this is now our quiet period since we hardly have any customers and it gets dead quiet. It'll be good since by next week I'll possibly have COIN2 completed. After that I'm taking a short break, before I start with the COIN Series. I'm so excited.

After that then the whole printout of the comic will begin, and that'll take over $100 to do, since I have to buy 2 ink cartiges (like the last comic COIN) and have over 160 pages of paper. After that instead of getting it spiral binded in Kinko's like the last one, I was thinking of geting it velro binded, but it wold depnds how strong it is. XP

Otherwise, those are my brief updates.

Comic Progress

Well over two months without any updates, so I may as well make one now.

Currently with progress of COIN2, I'm going to predict that my completion date for it will possibly be sometime in Mid-January-Early February 2010. I'm highly anticipating the completion of that comic, since I've been working on it since early February of this year.

So far there are currently 45 pages left to color, so when the times comes, I'll have more pages colored. :3

COIN2 Commentary and Other Stuff

Well, I have chapter 9 completed, and I was thinking about doing a commentary about that chapter, since it was the chapter that got rewritten since the original idea for that chapter didn't seem to fit with the plot.

As for other stuff, I'm still working on the summaries of the COIN Series. It is taking a long while. As for the Episode titled "Super Dos" I do plan to have fan OC's of COIN in it and already sent notes to the people who'd get their probes shown.

For the reord... the episodes will be in comics, not animated ^^; It just doesn't sound right to call it a volume or anything.

Thursday, September 24, 2009

Well, long time no posting or anything. Right now I'm still coloring COIN2, and still have four more pages left pf chapter 6 to color. Along with that, whenever I get back from work, I've also been typing up some COIN Series episodes.

Currently I have 20 being typed up and have only completed 2 of them for the script, but I'm prediciting at 2010 is when I actually start to draw them into comic form. ^^; That's gonna take a long while.

In the meantime I'll update for anything new for COIN.

Sneak Peek: COIN Series

I'm still currently working on COIN2, and almost close to wrapping up the last of the script/pages left. Coloring will take a bit longer, but as they say, Rome wasn't built in a day. This has also been in my head for sometime. I've been having questions asked about a COIN3, and no there will not be another sequel. The first one took almost 8 months out of me with a constantly delayed sequel which hasn't hit chapter 5 yet. I do plan the adventures with the probes in their own "episode" series. This teaser poster shows a good example of that:

I cannot predict when the sequel is completed, but it will be a long while.
Here are some ideas of the "episodes" that I have in mind after COIN2 is completed:

Miniature Golf:
Centers Around: Dos and Pinkie only.
Dos and Pinkie get a day off from work, but after a decision from Pinkie to play at a golf course, Dos proves to be the worlds worst player. How will he handle this when Pinkie shows to be the better player?

Quoise and the Mechanical Beast:
Centers Around: Quoise and MASS-F
After a bad night at the This N That store from Winterfresh, Quoise sneaks out to see the robot fights. After meeting MASS-F, her constant care and visiting causes Quoise to fall in love with her.

First Date:
Centers Around: Dos and Pinkie
Berry and Xeuk are both curious to ask about how their parents got together and how was their first date. When Dos tells his side, Pinkie says that it was more further then how he described it.

Security Guard:
Centers Around: L-Z, Naranja, and RAIL.
After getting promoted to Security guard, L-Z gets an ego boost which grabs the attention of Naranja. After a night alone, they are recorded and blackmailed by RAIL. What would L-Z do to keep his night secret?

Edan at the Doorstep:
Centers Around: Quoise, MASS-F, and Edan
Months pass and after noticing that Edan isn’t having behaviors from Goldenrod, he soon finds out that Edan is not his son, and that he’s Quoise’s. After neglecting the probe he drops him off at Quoise’s doorstep and leaves a warning. Quoise starts to improve himself to care for Edan and also with the help from MASS-F.

Honeymoon:
Centers Around: Dos, Pinkie, their five COIN2 probes, Coin, and M-O.
After getting married, Dos and Pinkie spend a week over at a resort for their honeymoon. Coin is left to take care of their five kids, and disaster ensues. While Dos and Pinkie end up having a few good days, they see that RAIL tries to ruin their fun.

Hybrids:
Centers Around: Coin and M-O
After three weeks of processing, Coin and M-O are proud parents of three hybrid triplets. Embarrassed by how different they look, they attempt to hide them. After Dos discovers them and places him with his kids, Coin worries about how the other robots would react.

Probe Napped:
Centers Around: Pinkie, Dos, and Xeuk.
After a couple of months of visits from shoplifters, Dos and Pinkie are caught unaware as their probeling, Xeuk is probe-napped by the same shoplifters. What would Xeuk do as he is separated from his parents and how would he get back home?

Bamboo Waccom Tablet Problems

Well it didn't start too long ago, when I bought one from the local Apple store for $104.95 (Cost was $99.95, but I'm adding 5% plus tax) I was excited to use it, but there was only one annoying problem. I'm not getting any lines on any of my artwork.

Instead I keep getting this, this line using my tablet's pen, while having the "brush tool" selected.



And after I lift the pen, the line disappears with that yellow background, and then it switches to "Path Selection tool" automatically.



I can't seem to get a line to practice my lineart. I've tried checking online to see who else has had this problem, but I can't find any wanswers. Does anybody have an answer to this problem? Please?

COIN Comic For June 21-27 "Don't Touch"

Well this week, it's fathers day so I bumped the oneshot "Question" to next week, and made a two page special called "Don't Touch".

Since Dos has a son (before the other 5 kids) this features Xeuk, who just gives him a lot of trouble. It's funny how blunt/unsurprised Dos is when his son disappears, even if Xeuk favors his mother more then his father.

COIN Comic For June 14-20 "On Your Own"

This one was done 3 days late, I haven't been feeling to well for the weekend. I don't find this too funny, but hey we call all relate to clogged toilets in public bathrooms.

Poo really does happen.

Next Week: "Question"

COIN Comic For June 7-13 "Turn"

Ah, the power of the circle. At work we spin our writs around to tell a cashier to turn their sign to close to go to break/do put backs/ projects ect.

W can't say "shut down" or else a customer may think we're talking to them to tell them to shut up. How they can mix Down with Up, is something I'll never know.

Well I took it a bit too far when a supervisor told me to turn my sign with that signal, in response I just spun around in a circle for no reason... yeah she thought I was crazy afterwards, but this oneshot has gotten more laughs then the last one XD

COIN Comic For June 1-6 "Recovery"

Well after getting my comic approved from my boss she allowed me to post it on the newsboard in where we post updates and stuff. It's already gotten a few laughs from people in the workplace.

It's called "Recovery" and usually we clean up the store after customers leave behind a large mess. Sometimes when we see our bosses (and sometimes visitors from another store) look around the store to check the places where we would need to work on, and especially since the new store Harmond is coming in, the recovery with the store is now becoming more productive then last week.

We see here Winterfresh (Minty eyes, who's from another This N That store) and Naranja (orange eyes) looking around the toys and wrap section of the store, but when they get to bedding it's a mess. Naranja tries to ignore this and moves on.

Next Weeks Oneshot: "Turn"

Why Cashiers Ask For Zip Codes

Cashier: “Hello, may I have your Zip code please?”

Customer:” NO!”

It’s an all too common answer for several cashiers around the world, who simply have to ask this question. They usually get the “no” answer from a disgruntled customer who just wants to pay for their things and leave.

I’m one of those cashiers who works at a store, and have to ask this question.

The reason we ask for zip codes is because of one or all of these reasons.
1.) We want to know where our customers are coming from.
2.) If a high population of people come from a certain area, we may want to have a store built there.
3.) We’d know where to advertise, and it has nothing with filling your mailboxes with ads and spam mail.

Even in this low economy, a new store would jump start unemployment who want to work for their families, even if that includes retail.

Especially with a retail chain located only up north, which is an example like a retail chain like Christmas Tree Shops. They get hundreds of customers everyday from different areas around the world, and recently a high population from Canada and even states from Florida and Ohio. They often ask why we don’t have a shop up/down there and they happily will give you their zip codes, in hope that one day they’ll have a CTS over their area that they can shop in, and not have to travel past states to come.

As for the ones that don’t hand out their zip codes, it’s really okay if you don’t want to give your zip codes to cashiers, but really it is better if attitudes were dropped about being asked for them.

You don’t need to yell “no” or say “I don’t have one” or other ridiculous excuses. Just say “I’d prefer not to give out my zip code” or “no thank you” in a nice and calm way. We’ll just enter in five 0’s and continue on (*varies in other stores), but it’s that attitude with the yelling “no” that will cause someone to have a bad day.

I think I’m standing up for all cashiers that have to ask this questions, and have been treated rudely for an innocent question. Seriously, it’s okay if you don’t want to share your zip code, just drop the attitude. Please.

How sweet this is

Well my first blog, been waiting to join here for quite sometime. Cameron627 motivated me to join here. You go dude!


Well, I'll be using this for updates and sneak peek of my popular webcomic COIN. For those who don't know what COIN or it' sequel COIN2 is about... It's about 7 cashier robots who never did get along with each other, until a disaster happens to make them realize that they could lose each other at anytime, so they start treating each other with respect and crap... the comic is a lot better then this summary so yeah.

This blog will be used for that, other then bothering peole about it on my DeviantART journals XD
