It was due to moving back to school... but here we are 3 weeks into the semester and I still havent continued the story. <br /><br />I feel like I've lost a lot of momentum (all of it). But I still have tons of legos and a million ideas... honestly, at this point, I might just start an entirely new storyline set in the same universe.majestic7http://www.blogger.com/profile/07070302257054825975noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474498865575511418.post-40206326193498185062010-06-21T15:01:00.000-07:002010-06-21T15:03:18.477-07:00WikiGood news, I'm back on track for the main comic. I've published up to July 2nd and hopefully I'll have the rest of episode 15 done by the end of the week.<br /><br />In other news, due to a slow day at work, I've been fleshing out articles on the wiki... I don't know if I have a link for it in the blog... hmmmajestic7http://www.blogger.com/profile/07070302257054825975noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474498865575511418.post-86854257780204395802010-05-20T17:58:00.001-07:002010-05-20T18:04:37.179-07:00Huh...So it looks like the comic didn't update last night... or is it this morning... or yesterday?

Classes end on April 30, meaning that I'll be moving my stuff out during the following two weeks. then on the 18th I'll be leaving for Hong Kong and I won't be back until June 8th.<br /><br />This basically means that for the better part of four weeks, I wont be able to work on the comic.<br /><br />I'm really going to try to have enough comics published before then. If this doesnt happen, I would rather not skip a week so i may just do comics every other day?<br /><br /><br />Recently I discovered celtix, a free script writing thing. I'm aiming to get a solid script for episode 13 this weekend and then maybe start on episode 14. That should be a pretty good start for may and june.<br /><br /><br />Also, send me emails. Nobody ever sends me emails.majestic7http://www.blogger.com/profile/07070302257054825975noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474498865575511418.post-27816068158601917922010-03-21T18:54:00.000-07:002010-03-21T18:58:01.339-07:00WikiHello!<br /><br />Been a busy weekend for me. As of last friday, Majestic7 has a wiki: http://majestic7.wikia.com/wiki/Majestic7_Wiki<br /><br />It is new and it is sparse, but I hope to get a reasonable amount of information available on there in the coming months. I certainly wouldn't mind if people helped me update it. Thanks.<br /><br />Also people should send me emails majestic7comic@gmail.commajestic7http://www.blogger.com/profile/07070302257054825975noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474498865575511418.post-75324949598658935612010-02-19T09:12:00.000-08:002010-02-19T09:13:27.566-08:00Happy Birthday!March 1 is rapidly approaching, which means that my comic is almost a year old. Its been an interesting journey so far, there have been ups and downs. Thankfully, the last several weeks have been a significant up. A couple weeks ago, my friend decided to do a mini documentary about me and my comic, that put me into this huge manic comic making phase, and I did 3 weeks worth in a night.<br /><br />I have received comments that, the comic is hard to follow, or that people have no idea whats going on. Year 1 was largely experimental, trying to get a feel for construction and photography as well as plot and characters.<br /><br />Well, I'm very excited for year 2, I think I will finally get around to doing a huge story arc that I've had in my head for a long time. Before that though, I am going to spend a couple months just on characterization. I feel like I've been favoring some characters over others, mostly because I have a solid idea of who they are in my head. Some of the other characters.... not so much. I'm gunna work on backstory and maybe some extended flashbacks, then I can figure out who these people are, what are their motivations? their hopes and desires?<br /><br />Its been a great year, but this one should be even bettermajestic7http://www.blogger.com/profile/07070302257054825975noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474498865575511418.post-71249140702457568622010-01-25T21:35:00.001-08:002010-01-25T21:41:18.871-08:00For my friend(click on the comic to enlarge)<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sKnLFcOVfW8/S15_m82XVGI/AAAAAAAAAAc/P31QFAsascE/s1600-h/tickets.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 170px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sKnLFcOVfW8/S15_m82XVGI/AAAAAAAAAAc/P31QFAsascE/s400/tickets.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430918507801302114" border="0" /></a><br /><br />go to <a href="http://la.metblogs.com/2010/01/25/guess-what-weve-got-tickets-to/#comment-68695">http://la.metblogs.com/2010/01/25/guess-what-weve-got-tickets-to/#comment-68695</a> and leave a comment saying the Heather Johnson should win the ticketsmajestic7http://www.blogger.com/profile/07070302257054825975noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474498865575511418.post-48417445452163997152009-08-31T22:31:00.000-07:002009-08-31T22:33:09.216-07:006 MonthsI was just browsing my archives when I realized that I started the comic officially on March 1.

Depending on how much I can get done on the trip, it will start on either the 17th or thge 24th. It will consist of a couple strips that I made while waiting for comicgenesis to create my account. Unfortunately, some of the original files no longer exist and the resolution of the image files is bigger than my normal comics. The quality may not be that great since I will have to resize them and redo the captions at the top.<br /><br />The good news is that there will be stuff to read while I'm gone.<br /><br />Also: regarding the week of the 3rd<br />My friend said she would buy me legos if I would put it(them) in my comic. Of course I agreed to this, not entirely knowing what I was getting myself into. I feel that I did a good job with what I got though.majestic7http://www.blogger.com/profile/07070302257054825975noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474498865575511418.post-20640989725893436712009-07-14T09:23:00.000-07:002009-07-14T10:17:44.809-07:00Slow Going<div><div>Multiple events have prevented me from actively working on the strip. I've somehow barely managed to scrape out another week of comics... thank goodness for the fact that I wrote this entire episode about a month ago. Speaking of which I should revisit/complete the script for the next episode...</div><div> </div><div>I recently bought the <a href="http://shop.lego.com/ByTheme/Product.aspx?p=7097&cn=473&d=70">Trolls' Mountain Fortress</a>. Its actually a very nice set... although just a little expensive (were legos always this expensive??). Its a pretty good value for the money. In all honesty, I bought it for the minifigures. I feel like that happens a lot... the best minifigures are always exclusive to the most expensive sets. 2 large trolls (tan and green), 1 brownshirt troll, 1 greyshirt troll, troll king, troll sorceress, human king and like 3 knights. The set itself, however should be very useful in the next episode... I just need to modify it a little bit and it is perfect. Also, when did lego sets become so modular?</div><div> </div><div>Combined with the troll battleship and a couple other sets, my troll population is up to about 12 or 13... about twice as much as my knights whom I have named: Angryface, Scared Guy, Unibrow, Tony Stark, John and Red. Also, how did the trolls capture the king? Reminds me of starwars...</div><div><br /></div><div>"War! In a stunning move that clearly underscores the ineptitude of both the Clone Armies and the Jedi Council, Genral Grievous, leader of the Seperatist forces, managed to single handedly kidnap the most important/powerful man in the entire Republic"</div><div></div><div></div><div></div></div><div><div><br /></div><div>I am also greatly excited for the Troll Battle Pack and the Dwarf Battle Pack</div><div><br /></div><div>Because the only thing cooler than Trolls are Dwarves</div><div></div><div><br /></div><div>And the only thing cooler than Dwarves... are Squidmen</div><div><br /><a href="http://cache.lego.com/images/shop/prod/5969-0000-xx-12-1.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 213px; HEIGHT: 151px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://cache.lego.com/images/shop/prod/5969-0000-xx-12-1.jpg" /></a><br /></div><div></div></div>majestic7http://www.blogger.com/profile/07070302257054825975noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474498865575511418.post-50024373147442860772009-07-06T13:06:00.000-07:002009-07-06T13:09:06.985-07:00Dawn of BlogMajestic7 is now on a blog... necessary to preserve my true identity<br />I need something better to convey my feelings about things relating to the comic<br /><br />Also I need an outlet that I can access anywhere without updating html<br /><br />The "News" section of the comic is not entirely adequate for these purposesmajestic7http://www.blogger.com/profile/07070302257054825975noreply@blogger.com0
