News


I don't think Chibi Ahi does him justice... lol.

Well, I think I fixed the website issue. I took off the height restrictions so I think it'll grow now on its own instead of having images overlap. Please comment here if anyone finds any problems with the site, I'd like it to work for everyone. Finishing the chibis were really fun!

It wasn't in the original plan, but the prologue of AV is finished and up, and in color! I was going to tone it but I still quite don't understand how to use Manga Studio, so coloring was easiest in Photoshop. And a friend mentioned seeing it in color. I don't think she realized that her mistake turned into a challenge for me. But it was a lot of fun, I hope you all like it. I don't think I'll do many color pages in the future, I'm not that great at it XD Oh well.

In other news, I've decided to move the deadline for the cover contest another week back. It's kindof a strange story. The details are here:

Basically because I thought the 1st was a Monday, and I'm still waiting on an entry.

That's it, I hope to finish the first scene of chapter 1 for the March update! There are some changes to the storyline even. I think Shiro's even spazzier, lol. Take care, thanks everyone for the support!

Finally (almost) done with the website!



It's kindof lame how long this has taken me. But I'm almost done with the website, there are just a couple small things left to do. Chibis of Kevario and Ahi for the bottom of their pages and it's done. But that has to wait for another day, lol. I hope you all enjoy it anyway, it was a learning process for me. I'm excited for the manga update in February, it'll be a surprise!

Website changes

Haha, well, I was so excited to announce the new site, but parts are still under construction. I'll do my best to get all pages up by next Monday. What does work are the manga viewer and the blog. We'll see what happens next week.

The new Advocate Voice has begun!



This is the first post for the new AV update blog! I'm very happy to be able to write the updates here instead of on the main website. It was hard to fit everything that I wanted to say onto the last layout. And here I can be just a bit more personal, too.

This time with the new AV, new pages will be done just a bit slower. I've got a lot to learn and get used to. The pages are a lot larger, 300 dpi now, and I'm just beginning to learn to use Manga Studio. But I hope the quality will be much better! These last couple of months I've been doing a lot of research, practice, and reworking. The biggest change is Jazz's character, who is now a Rebel archer named Hoku. Along with that are some new scenes and reworked scenes and a whole lot of ideas for the future! So I'm very happy to announce the new version of Advocate Voice and work hard on it once again. I'll do my best to update the first Monday of the month as I have been, and when there's not very many new pages I'll add funny sketches or different things to make it interesting. I may update this blog more often than once a month.

The updates for January: The new layout, and a preview of the sketched prologue. I'm sure it'll go through some changes before it's inked and toned, but I thought it only fair to show you all some of what I've been doing these past few months. There are also some new fan arts in the "fun" section, and various changes all throughout the site. Please check out the contest section as well! And feel free to post comments here anytime. That's all for today, enjoy the spoiler art of AV's two blue gals, and see ya in the next update!
