So I've decided to work on getting together my Winter Bash entries from this past winter.

Side Note: Winter is the Only season on our area that happens Twice a year. I always wondered why Summer felt so Short So while it Started in 08-09 the next winter is 09-10 belh! Anyways, I'm going back and Improving the art that I had for the last winter bash by reworking the colors. Making sure the Edits are correct and then pairing it up with Shado vs Axen, SDL Couples, and some of the Character Sheets for Winter/Summer Shado.

All this is going to come together into a comic. I will not be adding in the Shado vs Madoka comic since it isn't part of the Cannon or SDL. Also the Story was WAY weaker then Shado vs Seth. I'm looking to throw this together as a 40 Full Color comic. Dunno how well it'll do but I'm hoping it will at least look pretty

Also as most of you know I am working on the second half of my Shado vs Rellik comic and come to a conclusion on what and where i need to go with it. I'm doing a but of a re-write for the 3-4 page layout to make it a bit more epic. This will change some of the way i had the story planned but it seems to me it will be in a good way. I just had a really hard time making the bridge between a major plot point and the start of the story. I think I have it nailed.

So today some of the members of the New Balance Lifestyle Team, did some community service. We worked a a place packing boxes of food for Thanksgiving. They are for needy Families. I used to be in a needy family growing up. People would donate food to us Often. So getting to do that as part of my job is pretty cool. They ended up getting in lots of very fresh Fruits and Veggies. Some of the best I've seen in a long time. We set everything up and got down and did some surz bizniz!

We got everything done in three hours between the 12 of us on a team packing bags of food for 200 plus families. Some of the bags were from 50lbs and up! I know when I was a kid I was always happy to have a good Thanksgiving dinner because of the food banks, churches, or people in the community donating time, money, and food.

It was some of the stuff that helped me become who I am. Who knows where I'd be if it wasn't for people helping like that. So if you think that stuff like this isn't important, you'd be wrong. So if you can guys, help with money or even a few min when you can. Even if it is only once a year, it still helps a lot.

Stuff like this makes some people see that there are people that care, and even if it's just one person that does something amazing with their life, it's worth it

So say you were born in a country that was Oppressive, Poor, War Torn, Drought Ridden, full of Natural Disasters, other...

Would you try to Escape it like L.A./N.Y (Snake Plishkin Style)

Then set up a new life trying to escape the past and do the best you can knowing that the odds are still against you? While things might be hard, you made the choice to Live on your own doing what you can to survive. With nothing in hand, Would you do it? (drive it like you stole it)

.....end up doing it over 8 times?

yeah That's where I am with the third-4th page of the Shado vs Rellik comic. I'm working on this sweet splash page, that I ended up having to do over many times now. Including doing everything over from scratch a few more times. It is a bit crazy to do that. You plan it out and like it, then the next day, you just want to start over again.

This happens a lot to me when I do comics. When I did the Shado vs Axen duel not to long ago. I re drew the final page twice.

I re-drew the 3rd page 4 times.

How about you guys? Do you ever do stuff like that? In most cases the final page is better then what you started with. I love it but hate it.

Okay this made me laugh. The designer who did the materials and colors for the New Balance 442 Candy Collection as seen here:



Sketchers Decided that after the collection has been out for about few months that they'd rip off not just the colors which aren't a big deal but all a majority of the upper pattern.



These people laugh cause it's not the first time they've done this to NB or heck any other company. The funniest part is that these sold for as much as the NB style..... so it's not like they were anything better.

EPIC FAIL and THEY PLAYED THEIR FACE!
