Cat Nine: Take Two! Site's UP!

2011-10-12T05:15:00.001+08:00

Yep. Up. Over here! http://catnine.comicgenesis.com/

Was gonna make a picture, but I'm too, I dunno, high from finishing this since I have been working on this since last week. Can't even concentrate argh! And goddamn it is nice! Though yeah, I kinda need it tested just in case I missed something so just message me!

Seriously guys what are you still doing here?!

Miss me?

2011-02-03T23:38:00.000+08:00

I may or may not have improved a lot, but at least now I find it a little less awkward and difficult when drawing bodies. Not perfect, but you have to live with that you got, and improve on it.

Be back at Feb. 13 at most! Trying to set up a bit of buffer, I'm a little slow cause I haven't used my tablet for a while now.

Ending the hiatus!

2011-01-27T22:11:00.000+08:00

Well, productive or not, I've decided to come back from hiatus after these few months but I want to do some things first before I come back.

1. Animation

Anything that's at least 30 seconds. I want to practice cause we have to make at least 120 drawings(AAAHHHHHHHHH) for my 2DAnim2 class. If I can I'll make an AMV or an opening intro for Cat Nine, else I'll make a simple story or something. Have to find a song that fits. Feel free to suggests songs!

2. Redesign site

I'll update it with actual buttons(!!) when going to other pages of the site. I'll have to find out what links you click on so I can decide if it's going to stay, or maybe add some more. Just tell me if I should add anything.

3. Write the story

This is one of the reasons why I wanted to take the hiatus cause, I have NO idea where the story is going, and what's the ending. I don't want to work on Cat Nine forever you know. Good news is that I've already though of at least six episodes now. And about the ending... say, 40 pages average per episode. I guess I'll make 13-24 episode max. That's about 500 - 900 pages. Whew. I've also decided to start on Midonyn Epic when Cat Nine reaches 200 pages or so...

4.Character Design and Layout

I'll do it properly this time so my style for Cat Nine will be consistent, and I actually "know" the place where they are. If anyone wants to start a comic, I suggest writing the story and this one first... arghh.

I think (cough) I'll probably be back February or March. Or be back at February then make the animation on March, hmm.

Just sharing some local music...

2010-12-22T02:17:00.000+08:00

w00t I am digging this band right now. I mean, just watch their music videos. Well, they're in Filipino, but whatever.

I can't imagine how long they took making this...

Woah, a video game themed one.

They're awesome amirite? :D

Hiatus!

2010-11-24T01:56:00.000+08:00

Decided to take that hiatus I mentioned in the chat.
I've always considered myself not much of an artist, see the only reason I'm in Multimedia Arts is cause I don't really know where to go really.
So yeah, this hiatus, I'll take this time to become a real artist. Oh, and to improve my writing skills too! I really have no idea where Cat Nine is going now, and I also want to write a bit for Midonyn Epic.
Oh well, good luck to me!
Don't know when I'll be back though, but you'll know.

LAAAAGG- uh I mean, DELAYYYYYYYS

2010-10-22T23:07:00.000+08:00

Sorry I've been updating so slow nowadays. Since I've gotten a bit better, it takes more time to get it to look right. It's gonna be a while before I draw little faster though. At least it looks better!

Good news is that I'm practicing everyday now, especially drawing bodies, well, practicing everything actually. Before, I spend most of the day just doing other stuff, mostly playing video games and didn't practice much. And I thank Cracked for this, I guess I needed the Effort Shock. Instead of being down about this though, I'm actually inspired to work more! 10000 hours of practice here we go~! At least I now have a solid goal heh.

Learning a little 3d and some Actionscript by the way, they're at my dA if you haven't checked them yet. Nothing complex yet but it's a start. Oh yeah and here's to another 10000 hours of practice!

About Midonyn Epic, I think I'll start when I'm better at writing stories and maybe making sprites. I do kinda want to make a hybrid comic.

Cool stuff

2010-09-01T02:04:00.000+08:00

Next term's gonna be interesting, I have 2d and 3d animation, as well as Technical drawing, which means I'll be able to draw buildings, furniture, etc. in proper perspective. I have Photography and Desktop publishing too. Not looking forward to the 9 hour a day classes though. Then again, I only have classes 3 times a week...

I'll probably be hella busy though, so sorry if I get delays again. At least I'll make up with animations I'll do. Also, 3D MYAN. :3

Ooh yeah, I just got the book I ordered on Amazon(thanks dad!), it's about making games in Flash. Hope I get better!

Setting up shop

2010-08-06T13:32:00.000+08:00

Created a store over at Zazzle. Well, there aren't any products yet but I'm getting there...
Plus I get to practice Illustrator, sweet.

Hey, what do you guys want? Shirts? Mugs? I dunno, I'm kinda new at this. Just say so in the chat, email or blog.

I'm gonna use the money for more advertising, and maybe on a new Wacom tablet. Yipee.

Back again!

2010-05-23T00:35:00.000+08:00

Just got back from Abu Dhabi and home to the Philippines again. Whew, can't wait to start classes and draw comics again. Oh yeah, I can't get away with delays or missed updates anymore because I don't have any classes from Sun to Tuesday for this term, so I made some coupons1 2 3

... er, don't use them till next week, please?

Need guest comics

2010-04-20T01:44:00.000+08:00

Anyone wanna do some guest comics? Vacation time for me this May, and I really don't want to work on anything. It's short though, only 20 days, *sigh*.

If anyone's interested, just email it to me. I'll post them on the main site, and feel free to include your site's link.

Help me choose THE song guys!!

2010-03-18T21:50:00.000+08:00

I've chosen two songs that I feel are perfect for Midonyn Epic's opening, but I only need one but they're both so, uh, epic that I can't decide which one I should make or at least make a rough draft.

Personally , I think Tuloy Pa Rin sounds way more epic but Bitiw fits as the first opening or something. Hmm...

Here's the links in my deviantArt just in case:
Bitiw
Tuloy Pa Rin

Who wants to be a radio supervillian?

2010-03-15T18:45:00.000+08:00

Have you ever wanted to be a radio supervillain? Or rather, did you have an idea for a villain you'd love to actually hear on a radiostyle podcast? Submit your idea for a radio supervillain and read about where you can get hundreds of hours of free audio drama done by the impression cast of Decoder Ring Theatre, over at topwebcomics.com.

Looking back

2010-02-05T02:39:00.002+08:00

Ugh, read through the archives again. I am suddenly very glad that I got better, even if it's only a little bit. I kinda forgot why I started Cat Nine in the first place, aside from telling a story, I wanted to get better. I knew patience and perseverance(cough) will pay off in the end, even if there's still a lot of things I need to learn.

My head hurts now though.

(too long didn't read part ahead, go ahead or don't.)

9 things to mention:

1. This will always be my worst drawing of Keith, EVER. Everytime I look at this gives me a...*shudder* o_O and reminds me of Weegee somehow... heh, Weekeith. Srsly, do not look into his eyes.

2. Had fun playing around with this again, too bad the file got lost when the hard drive suddenly went kaput. And even if it didn't get lost, I don't think I still could have finished it cause I go like moaaan because of working on it. Things don't tend to last long when I do it when I felt like doing it. Sad. I *might* make a new one though when the story moves at last and they're finally in the mall. I'm still gonna put that as a maybe until then.

3. Made a lot of mistakes with writing, aside from the crappy art that is. I really don't know why Keith suddenly has the idea to use a mirror, or Tammy suddenly standing up. This one of the reasons why I have a headache now and keep shouting "WHY THE HELL DID I DO THAT" and "THIS IS CRAP". Which is why it leads to...

4. Cat Nine fans. Seriously folks, I am still confused as to why I have fans. I mean, "THEY READ THIS, THEY LIKE THIS, WTF?"
Oh yeah sure, the first time somebody said they liked it I was like "WOW someone likes it!". Now that it has worn of... :| Maybe I'm just selling myself short like someone said, I dunno. At least fame wouldn't get into my head. :D
But yeah, I am glad people like it, somehow, even how mind boggling it is.
Thanks everyone. ^^

5. Yes, Myan is cute.

6. I hate drawing people crossing their arms now. Yes I did get a bit better drawing them, but still... Heh, you could say that's the only reason Keith put Myan down.

7. Apparently, sleighs have runners(?), those things underneath that makes it move. Sorry, I have no experience of snow here in tropical Philippines, and so far I've only gone to other countries who lack snow. Is snow that great anyway?

8. I really need to update more to catch up. I should do at least 48 comics a year, 4 comics a month, and we're only around 55 right now. And it's almost the 2nd anniversary of Cat Nine. That means I should already have done around 96 comics now, yikes! Yeah, some of the comics are animated, but I don't know how much they're worth. -_- I think some of them are worth 2 so I should be around 60-ish. *sigh* why am I so lazy? :(

9. I might get a pet cat after this semester, and I think it's cheesy to name it Myan. Any suggestions? :meow: No "Prickly Paws", or something like that. Myan would hate that.

OH RIGHT.

10(TEN hah). Myan. Why did I name her Myan? I HAVE NO IDEA. :D :D :D
I don't think anyone uses Myan as a name for anybody or anything, even around here. See, "Myan" came from a sketch of a catgirl from long ago, and I was having trouble on what to name her. Probably thought Myan came close to "meow". I was young then @_@. But yeah, it does kinda fit when she IS a catgirl first, but the problem is she IS a cat first, and someone named her, so yeah... and it's pronounced Miyan. Not Mayan, Meyan, Moyan, Muyan or Megan(someone emailed saying how cute "Megan" is o_O).

Alright, I'm done now.
Did you read all of this? OMG you must be reeeaaaalllly bored, a diehard *fan* or just trying not to be rude. lol

Need some help with the intro

2010-01-20T22:42:00.002+08:00

I'm trying to make an intro for Cat Nine as a side project of mine... if anybody's interested, feel free to suggest, just comment and/or annotate something.

Heya, I'm back!!

2010-01-17T23:31:00.000+08:00

Whew, had a nice vacation, are the so called Cat Nine fans still there?
Going to start updating this week, or at least try to *sigh*. College starts this week too, so update schedule might be erratic again(though it already is).

Hiatus, break, whatever

2009-12-17T02:13:00.000+08:00

Gone for December to enjoy the holidays. Gonna be back around January, after, ugh, finals.

Yeah, I really think I need this break cause I'm slowing down, as evidenced by the *updates*.

I'll make a Christmas and New Year comic just to make up.

OH yeah, have an early Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year(and vice versa).

Me likey

2009-11-26T17:09:00.000+08:00

I liked Dresden Files, now I found this. :D

"The president of the United States is dead. He was murdered in the morning sunlight by a four-year-old boy…"

Welcome to J.C. Hutchins' SF thriller 7th Son: Descent, a novel set in present day featuring human cloning, dangerous technologies, and "beyond Top Secret" government conspiracies. I'm letting everyone know about an exciting publication that started as an online podcast, and now is being sold in stores everywhere. And whats more amazing than a fellow internet creator bringing his works from the free digital format to the printed page, is that he's still publishing everything for free online. If you want to check this out, listen to the book for free, read it for free, or even buy the book, check out his site over here: JCHutchins.net You could even join the ranks of his online army by participating in Warvember just like I am.

More practice

2009-11-17T16:41:00.001+08:00

Just borrowed How to Draw Manga: Flash Techniques. I'm practicing stuff so I can draw better. Don't worry, there's gonna be a comic this week.

So far I've come up with one.

Cat Nine: The Movie

2009-10-07T01:32:00.001+08:00

Just got "The Movies". Sweet.
Now I made a movie.

Need a c-c-c-c-combo breaker here...

2009-10-01T21:00:00.000+08:00

After the rather devastating flooding brought by Typhoon Ondoy, another one is heading over here in the Philippines. My god, 195 kph of sustained winds and 230 kph of gusts... AND there's a possibility of another one. I have no idea how we'll survive after that... damn.

My Saturday...

2009-09-27T10:51:00.000+08:00

Man, last Saturday sucked.
I woke up that morning and it was raining heavily and I thought "Commuting is gonna be a drag..." because I still had classes in the afternoon, but the rain just kept getting stronger and since the area around my college can easily be flooded, I decided to stay home instead.
Watched some news thinking classes would hopefully be suspended. Saw some areas are really, really flooded, like waist high flooded, some cars stopped working too. Heck, some of them are stranded on their roofs because of floods.
Then I received more bad news, our maid told me that the road going to our house has been flooded, so I can't go home.
See, we have two houses, one is our main house where all my stuff are and where I go home everyday but it's far from my college. Takes around an hour to get there, and around one to two hours going back, and if the seats are full, I have to endure standing the whole way.
And the other house is closer to, but crappy. Aside from lack of access to my stuff and the Internet, there's the comfort room(C.R. , restroom, bathroom, water closet, etc...) where there's no shower and I have to use a tabo(dipper) and a pail of water to take a bath. And a toilet that doesn't have a flush, except by "manual flush" which means I have to pour a pail of water into it to flush it, yeah... actually, I've gotten used to that ever since I was a kid, but I still really don't like manual flushing. o_O
Well anyway, decided to take a little nap after lunch but then I woke up again cause I'm feeling a little hot and saw that there's a brownout(actually it's a blackout, but around here we still call it brownout). Good thing I brought some books(Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban and Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus :D).
Still, I got bored of them and really wished I brought my harmonica. When night came, we had to use candles.
Heh, had to take a bath, with a candle especially because it doesn't have a window, and cockroaches on the ceiling watching me taking a bath. Good times *sigh*.
Had trouble sleeping cause it's hot and the mosquitoes are kept biting. Still, I feel thankful that we didn't get flooded.
Then woke up the next morning, and still no power but at least the roads are less flooded now and now I'm home again and writing this blog. Hope I don't get stranded again tomorrow. :(

Back to work!

2009-09-22T04:00:00.000+08:00

Resuming the comic. I'll get started right away!! Hope you enjoyed the extra stuff I've submitted while on "training".

Practice time!

2009-09-12T23:40:00.000+08:00

I don't know what happened, but I think I suddenly got better for some reason >_<

Maybe the experience just caught up with me, maybe I leveled up, maybe my artists' eye opened up, I don't know. In any case I'll practice for a while, so that means no comics for a while. Anyway I'll post the stuff that I have drawn on deviantArt so you can see my progress :D

Takin a breather

2009-09-08T03:25:00.002+08:00

Yep. I'll be working on the next page for Midonyn Epic then I'll come right back to Cat Nine. I wanted to finish this one cause next semester, I wouldn't have time to do 2 comics at once. Sorry guys! If I didn't finish this one, it probably will never be so I really want to do it.

Cat Nine 1st, then Midonyn

2009-08-31T01:19:00.003+08:00

I'll finish the next one for Cat Nine then I'm gonna start working on Midonyn Epic, which means I'll delay Cat Nine for a bit. I'm trying to animate it as best as I can so it might take a while. A while means it might be a month so sorry in advance : |

WOW EARLY FREAKIN UPDATE

2009-08-27T03:39:00.003+08:00

Yeah, page 44 for Cat Nine is up. Go here for the flash version(with music!)

Wow talk about being lazy, I made this early cause I was staving off work...AGAIN. God help me. :(

Updating site design...

2009-08-20T03:30:00.001+08:00

Hope Cat Nine's new makeover will be great. :D

Which one's more EPIC?
