Blade Character Sheet

Hi!

I am finally starting to do the character sheets for Black Heart Wolves. I did Blade now I have....a lot to go! *sigh* I guess that's the price I pay!

He looks pretty cool. I have been getting better. Lets demonstrate:

Then and now...HUGE difference! *sniff* That was the very first time I ever drew Arrow! *screams* SHE IS TERRIBLE!

Yeah...do you see now? The one of Blade is better than this Arrow but hey! I get better with each drawing!

Updates on Anime

Hi!

It's about time! My scanner finally is up! Now I can scan some of the things that I drew.
Lately, I have been sketching out a few pages EVERYDAY of the comic. (Mostly in school). So I can't wait to post them up here.
I have been doodling on my computer and drew a few cool things. I also made character sheets.

That's Glacier...isn't she pretty when she is mad? :)
So anyway...CAN'T WAIT FOR THANKSGIVING! I am drawing a cute Arrow Thanksgiving pic. I will post it here when it's done.

Go Team Black Heart!

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!
~Megan

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!
~Megan

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!

The Guardian

Hi Everyone!

This is a wonderful drawing of a wonderful wolf. So pretty! This was done by Nikki M. NOT ME.

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!
~Megan

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!
