- tweaked the home page to include a link to wren's writing page

- added the 2 progress images for the 5-page 'lunchtime' comic to the portfolio archive

- added images from the 'dreams' art book to the published work section, and switched it around a bit so the more professional ones come up first ^_~

today i updated my portfolio to include a link to our comic 'lunchtime', i also removed a load of images form the main page and put them into the archive. i might archive more soon and just have a smaller portfolio all together...

as well as those few images, the archive has also been updated to include my compiled progress images that i'd never uploaded there before - the ones for snow white, little bo peep, the rapunzel painting, and the 3D bathroom project i did last year are there, with all the notes i added to them at the time (altho a lot of what was in the bathroom one seems pretty irrelevant to me now lol! XD )

hopefully soon i'll get the time to upload the progress images for 'lunchtime' too, plus i've got 2 more 3D projects that are nearly complete so watch this space!

wren10514 is also working on a serialised story that we hope to be able to bring you the first chapter of soon too :D

i've added 6 more images to my portfolio archive (no prizes if you can guess which ones! XD )

plus 'wikivic-y' book 1 is now only available to read via the bumblemoo website! originally i had posted all the pages up in a print-friendly black and white, but now all of the pages that were originally in colour are back to being in colour again ^_^

there will be a few more archive updates soon as i'm transferring a load of old work off my deviantArt account and putting it away for safe keeping. 

i will also be starting a section on the webcomics page for 'wikivic-y' book 2!  however, until i have amassed enough random comic pages to make another book, it will just be a running collection of comic pages without any particular author's notes ^_^

EDIT: oh! and the link to my last webcomic mole column (digging for apples and second skin) is now up on the webcomic mole page!

*phew* its only once in a blue moon i get to update this thing! anyway we've all been pretty busy lately as usual - first off here are some changes to the website

- the homepage is slightly different, our contact info is now on there instead of on the 'about us' page

- the reviews page has been removed as i'm now stopping myself from reviewing comics (apart from those in the next point) as they're taking up too much of my 3D / drawing time

- there is a new page for my 'webcomic mole investigates' column, which has been running for a few months now over on indieReview.co.uk.  there's an explanation of what it is on the new page, plus links to each individual column in case anyone wants to read ^_^

in other non-website related news

- banemoo and i have been working on an entry to the neo manga competition during the last month.  i drew and coloured all of the final comic, but we came up with several ideas and layouts together in sketch form and he helped by critting my figure drawings of the main characters - i've got some development work and the 5 comic pages sitting around on my computer waiting to be uploaded somewhere, but that will have to wait until the competition is over!

- i've got a new image in my portfolio, its the logo / mascot for a classic metal band, No Strings Attached.  they told several artists what they wanted and i just couldn't help drawing it when i heard the idea!  here's a postcard-sized version

and so the bumblemoo trundles on... ^_^

i've got a new column up, this time its an interview with comics artist Paul Duffield! --> http://www.indiereview.co.uk/index.php/webcomics/webcomics-columns/webcomic-mole-investigates-paul-duffield.html

i've also made some small chages to the website - updated the events page, updated the links page (its amazing how loads of personal art sites are only up for a little while before the artist decided to get a new domain name or do something else...so many dead links! o.O; )

erm...also briefly updated the 'about us' page and my portfolio (well, the update consisted of moving a few things out into the archive rather than putting anything new in...i think i'm going to take the advice of several mag articles and pare down my portfolio to only a few things i think are the best, rather than loads and loads of images ^_^ )

yups another one already! nothing major, just added the webcomic mole banner to the 'various 2D and 3D art' section and consigned a little bit of old 3D stuff to the 2007 archive... [portfolio gallery]

i'm liking the way my work has been coming along in 2008 so far (altho 2 of the art book pics aren't uploaded to my portfolio yet). i've been able to muck about with a few different things this year: my first ever character expressions sheets, lots of sketching, planning a 20-page comic in detail, doing a pic with 3D, cell shade and soft-shade in it, trying out a digital oil painting, doing a load of vector work for the momiji comp...not to mention all the things i've learned on my paid website project, my 'trick or treat' 3D project (first ever alpha maps yay!), and trying to learn to write decently for the webcomic column on indieReview...

...geez no wonder i was feeling a bit nackered last night o.O;

*gets back to work*

...i should really kick the others to write on here sometimes *glances around* ¬_¬ ...

anyway lots going on as usual!

my review of mrs toothycat's series, Artifaxis, is now uploaded to the bumblemoo site - i'll be working on getting the review of pinkapplejam's biomecha book 1 done (its already started), as well as picking up on some notes i took for a review of mathewjpallett's 'a taste of everything'

i really would like to finish my old review of the mammoth book of BNM vol 1 as well as getting stuck in with thinking about vol 2 but they're such epic sized volumes they're going to take quite some time to get though o.O;

some of my reviews now appear on indiereview.co.uk

looking for the sun

cold sweat and tears

in other news i have now completely finished the .pdf for wikivic-y book 1 so as soon as i find an income it'll be printed XD

also, CLM sees its 50th strip today yay! its been nearly a year and a half...i can hardly believe there was a time when i never used to draw it! o.O;
