New Characters = More work!

Hi everyone!

Well, I have been doing research and found this comic called Twilight Spirits. It HAD the potential  to be good, but the author quit. That just made me want to keep going. Trust me, I have!
I sketched the new Page 1 of the comic, but guess what? PRINTER IS FAILING ME!!! Stupid technology! (LOL)
So anyway, when my printer (and scanner) get back up, I will get to work on editing and all that. My trial ran out for Photoshop and I hate using other stuff!! I want Photoshop so badly, it's the only thing I want this Christmas!
Again, off track. I created a new character, well SEVERAL new characters: Rider, Dash, and Mika. Check out the pack page to view them.
I have been quite busy drawing those character AND trying to get a trial for Photoshop Elements so I can do a speedpaint on YouTube. I am also doing a Logo and when I get that down, I am opening a shop in Cafepress where you can get all kinds of BHW stuff.
I really hope that my printer gets back up!

Luv the Black Hearts!

Scyther, Glacier and Blade Modules

Hi everyone!!

I went and found this BBA Character Creator and I thought, COOL! I can do some of my wolves here. So here are three of them, more will be posted throughout the week.

That one is Scyther. He is the Elite Fighter Captain and later Arrow's mate.

That one is Alpha Female Glacier.

And finally, Alpha Blade.
So I think that is pretty cool. I am going to do more and maybe even create a character creator of my own!

Luv the Black Hearts!

Theme Song

Hey guys!

I am making a theme song for BHW. It will be sooooo cool! Also I wanted to note that the book Lila and Ecco's Do-It-Yourself Comics is REALLY great for starting out! Try it.

Luv BHW!

Model Wolves

Hi everyone!

I have a few model wolves that I am using to aid me in the creation of the BHW Trailer.

That is the wolf I am using for Blade. He is done by Kay Fedewa, author of the BBA comics. He is also the model for Raptor, hence the name above him.

Arrow is also appearing so this is her model :).

Glacier has her model. And that is Whitewind, or Lady Whitewind. Also done by Kay Fedewa. She is Glacier's permanent model, and again, that is the reason for the name.

There are plenty more but those are the main ones appearing.

Luv the Black Hearts!
~Megan

Upcoming!

Hi everyone!

I ma working on a trailer for BHW. I want to make it the BEST it can be! I have the songs already, "The Stone Table", and "The Kraken". I can't wait!
The first page of the comic is being revised so expect it soon. Thanks for the views btw!
I went over to me grandma's and got pics of my dog. I am really hoping to share them.
Thanks!

Luv the Black Hearts!

Arrow Drawing

Hi everyone!

Pretty cool right? Not perfect but pretty cool!

Calling All Wolf Lovers!

Hi everyone!

Today I am writing with much anger and sorrow. I love wolves and hate hunting them. This article in the Outdoor Life February 2011 addition is very sorrowful for me. Here I have posted the article.

Crying Wolf
Article by Brian McCombie

"There was a significant interest here in Idaho in the hunt continuing," says Ed Mitchell, spokesperson for Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG), "and we were expecting pretty strong tags sales for a 2010 hunt."
More wolf hunts, though, went into limbo in August 2010, when a US Federal District Court formally reinstated federal ESA protections for wolves in the Northern Rockies, due to lawsuits brought brought by animal-rights and anti-hunting groups.
While that still left much day-to-day management to the states, reinstating ESA protections stopped any public hunting or trapping.

Local Economics Suffer (excerpt)
The blockage to public wolf hunting is a shame. IDFG sold more than 30,000 wolf hunting licenses for it's very first hunt, generating nearly a half-million dollars in revenue. That hunt opened on September 1, 2009 and ended on March 30,2010. In all, 188 wolves were taken.

Fingers Crossed
More wolf hunts? Not impossible. Montana is petitioning the feds for greater wolf management authority, while Western legislators have promised to find a way to give wolf control to the states.

Well, now that you read most of the article, can you see what I mean? Why do people hate wolves so much? What have they done to us?
We can stop wolf hunts. Work with me and we can find a way to stop all hunting FOREVER.

Luv the Black Hearts!

First Hunt

Hi everyone!

Good news! My brother went on his first hunt yesterday and caught a doe! Yay! He tells me that the moment he pulled the trigger, the deer fell dead. A direct hit!
Anyway, this was also Arrow's first hunt. I will post that up in the writer's page soon. She did really great, because she is already an elite!
That Arrow pic I was working on will be up SOON. I have been so busy with school and stuff and I just started lagging. It will be up either TODAY or TOMORROW. I promise!

Luv the Black Hearts!
~Megan

Updates

Hi everyone!

Well, the new Arrow is coming soon. She WILL be here tomorrow. I promise.
I am working on the new idea for the first comic page so expect that here or there.

Luv the Black Hearts!

New Arrow

Hi everyone! (yes i'm still alive!)

I am doing Arrow up in Adobe Photoshop. She looks really great! She might be here tomorrow so keep your eyes out for her.
By the way, thanks so much for all the visitors! And keep drawing!

Luv the Black Hearts!

Busy Busy!

Hi everyone!

Yes, I am still alive! Sorry I was not on for like...4 days! I was busy with school and my website.
Anyway, I was just wanting to say that the book The Complete Idiot's Guide To: Graphic Novels is a great book to start you off. Thinking of making a graphic novel? Get that book!

Luv the Black Hearts!

What's A Graphic Novel About?

Hi everyone!

Today is Saturday and I'm HAPPY about it! No school until Monday!
Anyway today I wanted to fill you in on some updates. Arrow needs another fix up today and she will be posted. I am also going to do Lightrun.
I wanted to talk about what a graphic novel is about. A graphic novel is a novel...in graphic form! The novel has to tell a story as a novel would but you must graphics. It does make it a bit more complicated.
What's the point of a graphic novel? I think the point of a graphic novel is to engage the readers more. When there are snappy pictures and cool looking words, yeah! That will make more people want to read it.
So in creating a graphic novel, think about why you want people to read it. Good Luck!

Luv the Black Hearts!

Dedication, Dedication, Dedication!

Hi everyone!

I have been busy with school and stuff but I managed to fit in some time to blog here.
I was thinking last night about how important it is to be dedicated in your work. Without dedication, you will easily lose hope and quit. The thing about a graphic novel is it needs time and dedication. Dedication is a huge thing, as I learned. It takes a lot of time to do a great job on a graphic novel. It could take years. But never lose hope and always remember to be dedicated.
Here are some things that help me to be dedicated to my graphic novel in process:
1. I try to draw a wolf everyday and practice that wolf.
2. I write down a bit of the story everyday
3. I look at other anime wolf drawings everyday

By drawing my wolves each and everyday it keeps me busy and focused on what I am doing. Writing down the story helps me to keep it straight in my head. Looking at the other anime wolves lets me see what my drawings could be if I stay dedicated.
So dedication is a huge factor!

Anyway, I have been on my Twitter a little bit so go check it out by clicking the link! Check out my website too!

Luv the Black Hearts!

Pack has been updated!!

Please Forgive Me!

Hi everyone!

I am so very sorry that I have not posted in forever! I wish I could be on more but I have school and homework and all that. So please forgive me for not posting at all!
I have been modifying Arrow a lot and she looks pretty cool, but I am still fixing her up. I also decided that some of my wolves, like Lightrun, won't have that hair on their heads. I drew Lightrun. I have to upload her soon.
Again I am so very sorry that I haven't been posting. I will post tomorrow for sure!

Luv the Black Hearts!

Epic Arrow Drawing

Hi everyone!

I did an EPIC Arrow drawing yesterday. She was awesome! Totally awesome. I will scan her to here soon. Sorry that yesterday I was not here. I was at my grandma's. I had a lot of fun with my cousin. I also created a new character Lypsy (Lip-sea). He looks cool.

This is a pretty anime wolf that I found online. I like her.

Luv the Black Hearts!

Creating a Graphic Novel

Hi everyone!

Sorry for the late post. I was busy doing things with my family. I just quickly needed to post.
Today I wanted to talk about what I have learned in my experience of creating a graphic novel. 1). Creating a graphic novel takes more time than you think! There are so many steps you have to take to be successful. 2). Getting a story in your head takes a good chunk of time. You have to revise the story. I learned that it is best to write down your story in novel form first. 3). Digital editing takes work. Don't expect to have a professonal looking picture of your character done in an hour. It takes a while to have a nicely done anime or any character.

So I hope that gives you some ideas on how to start if you want to. Just remember, never give up!

Luv the Black Heart!

Updating...Updating and School

Hi everyone!

School is coming up again real soon. I won't be able to post as much because of homework and blah...grrr. I am not looking forward to losing summer.
I am updating my characters, especially Arrow. She has a brand new look that is pretty cool. I can't wait to post her!
I am also looking at BBA YouTube movies and I am making a Black Heart Wolves YouTube that has all the characters drawn by me. And the Requiem for a Dream theme song. It will be cool.
As you can see, the blog look is updated to a more colorful look. I like this one much better. Give me feedback though!
Yesterday (as we hit the lucky 300 with this blog!) I was at a party to meet the new Youth Pastor of out church. It was soooo much fun. We went swimming in the lake and me and my friend Kara didn't bring our suits so we just went in with our clothes! It was great!

Anyway here's a pic of a BBA a wolf that I found. I like it.

New Ideas

Hi everyone!

I have been thinking about changing the first page of my blog. It needs to be an intro. But anyway, I have a new Arrow design and she is AWESOME! I totally have to post her here when I put her through my newest program: Photoshop. I was soooooooo excited when I got it yesterday. I love it too!
I hope you liked my video I put on. I love it.
Come in people! I need to have a partner in this! Someone who does landscaping. If you think you can, then click this link.

A Cool YouTube Video

This Youtube video is from the user jasonpeirce. It is Called of Shadows and Ash

Sorry I wasn't on!

Hi everyone!

This is Scyther. He is a wolf that I drew yesterday and I thought he was pretty good. So I did him in lineart.

This is his lineart. Pretty cool, huh? No spots of anything just clean lineart! He looks good!

This is a picture of Arrow that I drew. She needs some revisions. I will do her in lineart too.
Anyway I was thinking about putting up a link party. I might do that later on.

Luv the Black Hearts!

Many new Decisions

Hi everyone!

I have made a few decisions today while I was talking a walk with my mom. The first one was to write out the Black Heart Story in Novel form just to get an idea on how I want the story to go. I will post it as soon as it is done
The other decision is a hard one that I decided to make. I kinda like to do things on my own, but I was too lazy to learn how to do this! But anyway, I have decided to have a partner in my Black Heart comics. I am looking for someone who is good at doing landscaping and other animals. This is a huge job that means a lot to me. So someone who knows how to do that will be greatly accepted and will be given permission to post here on the blog!
The position is opened right now. I need someone who is AMAZING at landscaping. Just remember this is a big decision for me and a hard one.
Click this link to try out for the position. Make sure to have a picture ready to send. It can be a picture with your great landscaping in it or of just your landscape. Thanks so much!


Luv the Black Hearts!

More Updates!

Hi everyone!

Sorry I haven't been on in a few days. I wasn't at home so I couldn't post!
I am working on digital editing on some of my photos. A photo of Arrow could arrive soon...maybe. Digital editing takes some time!
Anyway, I have been thinking up new ideas for the next comic page. It will be drawn soon.
I always liked this pic, by the way:

Updates!

Hi everyone!

About two days ago this blog was a great hit thanks to my website Esa. We had a nice 21 views that day and I am very happy! Yesterday though...we only had 1 person!
Anyway, I am going over to my friend's house today for a sleepover. Last time that happened, everyone else got the good spots and I was crammed between a wall and a chair with no room at all. I had a sleeping bag that didn't go past my knees! It was a fun night...NOT! I hope it will be better today!
I am starting a dog walking buisness and I can't wait! I am saving up money to 1) Redo my room and 2) Get my own dog. Yes I have Eddie, but that doesn't count! He lives with my grandma. I want a dog in MY house.
I have been practicing Arrow lately as I am planning to have her appear in the next page of the comic. I haven't totally gotten her down yet, but I am working on it! I also did a sketch on Lightrun and Stride. I am looking at more BBA wolves and finding new ways to draw. I also discovered something! I am also learning where it's best to put all the random fur on the wolf. Because of my new ideas, Arrow isn't bad at all! In fact, I am very pleased with her.
My Arrow  Line art may be coming today...or not. It is kinda hard to fix it up AND color it. But it will be here!
Anyway, I will be posting stuff on my Photoshop too. Be sure to check it out.

Luv the Black Hearts!
