Squires Mini Blog

Posted in Random/General Stuff on May 5, 2008 by Anne Tai

Check it out! Right below the category drop-down menu there on the right is a feed I’ve added from another blog I’ve been playing with. I really liked the idea of a Twitterish type of blog, but I had no idea what to do with it. Then I figured, ya know, rather than updating this blog with stupid filler bits like, “Uh, I’m sorta working on something. And I’m sorta cooking ramen. I even added an egg so it’s kind of a recipe”, I could use the other one to post Tweet-like updates concerning the SoD and maybe other artsy stuff. So keep it here and, if anything’s going on, take a look at the feed.

And if you’re really bored enough, you can even head over there to read the full posts that, I hope, aren’t huge paragraphs. Hell, you can even leave comments for those little blurbs.

Mmhm...
Alright, I know. This is another pathetic attempt at producing filler material. I even tried to make it INTERACTIVE. Actually, it’s STILL interactive. Go on. Head on over to, where else, North Side and give it a go (please?)!

I guess it was the least I could do until I actually finish something, hehe. But anyway, dangit, have fun with it! I went through the whole trouble of scanning for gaud’s sake!

I mean, haven’t you always wanted to see Squire North say something you thought he should have been saying? If that even made sense…*scratches head*

Well. I guess it’s been kind of a month or so since I last updated. And I think it’s been over a month since the last time I even posted a comic. Whoops!

But the three (or 8 if I’m wishfully thinking) of you can exhale for the moment because I can promise there IS a comic in progress! Actually, there are a few in progress! It’s all a matter of me keeping the pencil in my hand instead of tossing it aside in place of my cursed DS.

In the meantime, though, check out the Squires of Dimness’s Twitter pages and see what kind of shenanigans they’re up to:

Squire Thorn
Squire Whyte
Squire C
Squire D

Squires in Time

Check out this clock made by Dusty from her shop class! Some time ago, she asked me permission to use the Inked Squires image for her clock assignment. A while later after granting her permission she got back to me with the finished product. Pretty nifty, huh? Go check it out and leave a kind word, would ya?

In other random doodles, if you haven’t checked my not-very-frequent Flickr feed on the lower-right (or better yet, the Sketchbook Doodles page), check out the new addition. I’ve gone down another fangirl path and drew Helen Marnie of Ladytron as she appears in their Blue Jeans video. I think there’s something about that hair of hers that drove me to draw her. But anyway, it started out as a random doodle as you could probably guess since I started out at the corner. And I just couldn’t leave it as a plain ol’ pencil sketch, so out came the pens!

And…I dunno, but I’m sure two of you out there are wondering why there isn’t a comic to accompany the birthday wishes going on at the North Side. One word - laziness. But that doesn’t mean there won’t be any comics in the near future. Just keep an eye out!

If the few of you haven’t noticed, there’s a new page here on the blog! Woo hoo! I guess I don’t have to mention that my scanner’s finally up and running again too. But anyway…

These scans are from my Moleskine sketchbooks. The SoD scans are pretty much silly, random doodles while some just might become future comics. Check the page often as I hope to frequently add more. As for new comics…uh, I’m working on em’.
