No Rest for the Wicked is an online fantasy manga about a princess named November who, ever since the moon disappeared, has been unable to sleep. She is prompted to go on a journey to find the missing moon to finally rest peacefully, and on the way meets a plethora of characters from the fairy tales of old, including Perrault familiar as the "Puss in Boots", and a dark, mysterious young woman known only as Red faintly recognizable as the traumatized girl from "Little Red Riding Hood". The story and art has a old-fashioned baroque feel, and yet has a uniquely modern tone as well as its own light, humorous moments.

Been working on this thingamabob since February 2010, and I'm hoping all the effort I'm pouring into the details is gonna pay off, despite it being my first personal big project! ^^;;

    Rough draft for Ch1 is now rendering!! 8DDDDDD Now we're at the point where I can go up to our composer and see if he's up to composing for the project for reals! ^o^ (I haven't heard from him in a while so I'm not entirely sure, haha ^^;; )
  2. Tomoyo Ichijouji's Avatar
    Done rendering! I will see about getting it out to staff soon.

    So I have just been informed that the composer who had volunteered for the project a long time ago is no longer available. Thus, am now in process of looking for either another composer or another source of music (if it comes to it, I'll use soundtracks from various sources instead). If you're a composer and are interested in the project, please PM me! I'm going to see about asking around of those I know, and barring that, I'll post in the Help section.

    Hmm, been a while since I updated this, oops. So besides having ch2 now finished in terms of lines (barring any unforeseen redoes when I actually mix the whole thing), we now have a new composer! Please welcome ProjectTrinity onto the team for making the soundtrack for the comicdub! =D

    As for further progress, I just need two lines to be redone for ch1 before all it needs is music! And technically I have all the lines needed to start mixing ch2 in earnest, but...I've been juggling a number of other things including my own health and so things aren't going as efficiently as I'd like them to...but well, nothing is perfect. I actually probably need to decide sooner if I want to release ch1 publicly before I am finished with further chapters or not! *ponders*

    Whoa...give it up for bursts of productivity, because I just went from 10% to 44% on ch2's mixing just this afternoon and evening!! 8D I've come across a few lines that need redoes, but they can easily be cut and paste into the project file, so just a matter of getting 'em in!

    So what's left...oh, gotta get back with Majorikku on her new batch of lines, and also, need to write up those instructions for the first batch of music from ProjectTrinity. Will get to in time; patience, self!

    Aaaaand have done both getting back with November's VA and sending first instructions for our composer. Maybe I'll try to get done another page or two of mixing, but it's late and I don't want to make it too late that I go to sleep tonight (again x_x ).
  7. Tomoyo Ichijouji's Avatar
    So, mixing for ch2 is now at 100%!! =O (There's just a few lines that need redoes, and I can easily cut and paste them into the projects once I have them) Now, working on the footage.

    There's two parts to that; one is cropping the panels out of the original comic, and the other is actually putting them into the slideshow and timing them; though the former isn't really hard, it's just really tedious, so I wanted to keep track of how far I've gone so I can keep momentum going.

    Have done up to 54% of the ch2 cropping today.

    Have done up to 81% of the ch2 cropping today. (Merry Christmas lol?)

    Have finished the ch2 cropping today. Now, onto making it into actual footage! ...Later, as it's past 4am. 9_9
  12. Tomoyo Ichijouji's Avatar
    So, dudes and dudettes -- ch2's footage is done and is now rendering! =O (Geezus the whole slideshow took just several hours total to get it done, as opposed to the several days that processing the frames did...)

    Like with ch1, there are a couple lines here and there I need some redoes for, and the music is in progress, so while they're not done yet, staff members should be seeing a rough draft of ch2 sometime soon! 8D
  13. Tomoyo Ichijouji's Avatar
    ...Hmm. The audio and video sync is quite off when I upload it with the encoding it has right now. So I'm trying some different things and seeing if that fixes it. (Good for me to know when I upload the final public draft of Ch1 as well, which will be sooner than Ch2.)

    Rough draft has been fixed, uploaded, and sent to staff!
  15. Tomoyo Ichijouji's Avatar
    Have gotten the little spare redoes for ch1 squared away, and I figured out an eyeball formula for progress on music, so I've updated a few chapters of it above. (It ends up looking kind of arbitrary, but at least it's something for ya? XP )
  16. Tomoyo Ichijouji's Avatar
    After a bunch of touch-ups and correspondence e-mails later, Ch1 and Ch2 both are in their final drafts and ready to be posted publicly! I have it arranged with the webcomic's author so that Ch1 will be announced and posted on Youtube along with the next update to the comic! I will be sure to spam the release (not literally of course) to the staff, to the Completed Works, in Facebook, LiveJournal and deviantArt, and in my VAA sig once that happens!

    Haven't yet sent an official e-mail out to the staff, but everywhere else that I listed in the update comment above this I've so spammed, and in case I haven't spammed it enough, here is the link to the newly released Ch1!!
