Arthur, King of Time and Space

4/5/12

If you read Creative Pocess, then you know the computer drawing tablet I've been using to draw that and AKOTAS was rendered useless in an accident a week and a half ago.

Ordinarily when I think about doing AKOTAS in Arthur's triangles, usually my aesthetics revolt. I like my triangle style very much which is why I use it for my fanfiction cartoons, even though many people don't like it which is why I decided to use line drawing for my more general interest project. Having initiated the project with line drawing, I feel there's been a reasonable expectation created that I won't permanently switch to a style I know some readers dislike. If I had started AKOTAS as a triangle project that would be one thing, and often I wish I had; but I didn't.

This week when I began to think about doing AKOTAS in triangles on a temporary basis (as I did during November and December 2007), it produced a great relief, a rush nearly as great as the one completing and uploading a cartoon produces. I took this to mean that line drawing with a mouse is a soulsucking, evil procedure great burden relative to drawing with a stylus, more of a burden than I've consciously realized; and that I need to stop, lest doing AKOTAS itself should come to be perceived a burden.

Line drawing will resume when I get my tablet USB cord replaced, whenever that is. Thanks for your patience.
