Life After Astro

The last issue of Astroboy Movie Adaptation is done, sent off for approval on 15th of June. I probably should've make this Journal entry last week, but I didn't, I felt like I needed a little bit of relaxing. Speaking of journal, this is actually my first ever journal entry on DA. Strangely, I've unintentionally abandoned my "real homepage" at protodepot.com. I wanted to do more with my website, but sadly I have little time to do anything.

For the past few months, I have been going to bed at 11:00pm (probably consistently earliest I have ever gone to bed) and getting up at 2:00am. My parents told me that during these hours, livers does its work on neutralizing the toxin built up by our bodies during the day, sleeping allows livers to function the way it meant to be, otherwise the toxin continues to build up inside the liver. I aint going to argue with that, besides, this schedule works out quite well. I get to concentrate on my work between 2am to 9am or whenever my little girl wakes up. After changing her and feeding her, we played a little bit, sometimes I would get a friend or my wife's sister to come over to watch her, whenever that happens, I would get to spend couple more hours on drawing. In the afternoon, after little Myra had her lunch, I would put her to bed for nap, sometimes if I feel a little tired, I would get get 30mins to an hour of nap with her, then I work some more until my wife comes home. It's the family time during evening, sometimes Myra would play with mom sometimes by herself, other times she would fight me for my Cintiq when she sees me on it. I give Myra bath around 8:30pm and put her to bed around 9:00pm. Then I would work a little more until my bed time at 11:00pm.

Amazingly, I was able to finish the entire issue of Astroboy Movie Adaptation #4 in less than 14 days. I still could not believe that I was somewhat associated with the legacy of Tezuka Sensei. This series of comic will be my last set of comic book work for awhile. I have to prepare the house for our expected twins in September. The new baby will need a lot of care and little Myra will feel left out so she needs  attention. There will be very little time for such demanding work of comic book.
