Sunrise

Yes I am still here. 20 pages down, 4 to go, slightly more than 5 hours in which to finish. So I'm feeling good about making it. I'm also feeling like I wish I was a more capable artist. Lots of times I wanted to draw something, but just had no idea how.

Looks like Ryan and I are the only ones still in the running to actually meet the challenge. DJ was keeping up, but he just gave up and went home. Daniel is still here, but he was never on pace to get 24 pages done. There are people who are putting out high quality (like Daniel), and people putting out high quantity (like me). Ryan is the only one doing both. But Ryan makes his living as a comic book artist, so.... whaddaya expect.

Anyway, I just ran out to Starbucks to caffeine up for the final 5 hours. Gotta go drink my quad-venti now.

Everyone Else

I was going to try to do a blog post on all the other folks doing this with me. But, Sean who runs Spazdog has already done that on his blog, so I will just point you there.

Four AM

Four a.m.

I made a couple really simple pages, so I have 18 down, 6 to go. I need to take a break.

I am 10 to 20 years older than everyone else here. I'm too old for this. Whine whine whine.

Actually, I'm still having fun. I may not be coherent though.

Am I making sense? Or snese? or nsene olfjc nsdl sdfljeia ??

This Is Where It Gets Crazy

2:30 a.m. Fifteen pages done. My thumb is killing me. My back isn't real happy either. But I'm not tired and I'm not about to give up.

Aha Break

One in the morning. Fourteen pages done (and the latest is my best yet, I think). Things are getting a bit silly now, while a pile of geeks high on energy drinks. We just took a break to watch this video, and to roll on the floor laughing.

By the way, my wrist is doing fine. It's my thumb that is killing me.

Half Way Point

Just finished my twelfth page. There is a TV tuned to SNL that is trying to distract me now. But I'm going to try to press on.

Going to take a quick walk.... stretch my legs...

Pizza Break!

Page 9 not quite finished when the pizza arrived. We've lost a couple guys already. A couple others are being waaaay too detailed and won't possibly finish 24 pages (some are still on page 1 or 2). But I think four or five of us still have a shot.
