I think it depends on the flavor of your vampire lore, when your vampire is changed and contracting vampire disease perhaps it would make sense if there is a threshold where your character either can go back into human through whatever cure the disease or otherwise get a permanent vampire status, however if your lore is that your vampirity is earned after death that you come back as vampire then you are supernatural being and your real body is decaying.. abit like dorian grey portrait, as soon as your vampire curse is lifted then you will either immediately perish or rapidly deteriorate and then die.

most vampire lore in history is abit like zombie/ undead coming back to bring family members to join them in death, perhaps it has some connection with contagious disease / plague in that era where multiple deaths came one after another in one family.

has become an epidemic here all regulations about pcr test for travelling has been cancelled, cinema, mall, traditional market are open, live events are held in venue with spectators wearing mask still, its current variant is regarded as mild illness, half my family contracted it last month even a baby, and it was over within a week, as long as we are fully vaccinated and have basic protection for it.  I still stay away from cinema and still wearing mask outside and buy takeaway food to eat at home. So far I'm still spared from any of its variants, some people got 2 different variants and proud of it, crazy.

new cases started to pick up again in my city, since the symptoms is milder so many more maybe are not even registered as covid, we are in the peak of rainy season and normal for people to catch flu so perhaps the two are confused and as long as it's not deadly people don't really care here.

I also see more and more people stop wearing mask compared to before, maybe they don't care about omicron as much as previous variants, however the government still takes it seriously, I suppose there won't be much activity during lunar new year.

so far I m spared these last 3 years, maybe due to being mostly at home.

Kite, I live in 3rd world country, back in the 80s in my elementary school days, my grandpa taught me how to make a kite from 2 strands pulled from a bamboo garden broom, a thick  cotton thread the kind used for sewing kapok matress, tapioka glue, and laminated paper , he taught me how to weigh it, how much tension for the thread to keep the frame strong and balanced, and how to glass the rest of thread to be able to chew through other kite thread to win... I listened to him and then.. I didn't even able to fly the kite, I never learned how to fly it, they are supposedly played from the rooftop, but I have phobia for height and I don't dare to climb tree let alone our rooftop, in our neighborhood there are lots of telephone and electricity cables so unless I'm standing on top of our rooftop or  playing on a vacant lot with a friend to hold the kite , and a space to run back to let the kite takes of, it will never fly...  but the sweet memory remains.

door to door cookingpot repairman, in the old days around the same era up to late 90s, we used enameled steel cooking pot, so once the enamel cracked, rust would penetrate the steel thus in time making a dark spot and finally a hole,  so there were travelling repairman who would resharpen kitchen knives, and scissors, and also patching these leaking cooking pots by soldering, I remember them, they are gone, we use modern ceramic, or stainless steel cooking pot now, and ceramic knives or serrated knives that remains sharp, and we can buy sharpening tool everywhere.

door to door betamax video rentalguy, in the 80s my parent rented betamax videos kungfu soap for them and japanese robot anime for me (God Sigma, Voltes V, Jeeg, and the likes) from door to door video rental guy, he brought a heavy backpack full with video cassetes he came every week to collect and offer to rent the next episode, I forgot when exactly this era ended, I think about the same time we had multiple TV channels on my TV in the early 90s, where we can watch cartoon like GI JOE, MASK, etc as well as soaps and kungfu soaps on TV so we stopped renting videos.

My new 1st time mechanical keyboard, nothing fancy, sub$100, local indonesian brand, china OEM made, with Gateron yellow switch. has cable, wireless through BT and RF dongle, switching between modes is not as seamless as my logitech multi devices mouse, but I can use it on my PC and my phone too. pretty happy with the lighting mode, I set it to illuminate recently pressed keys so I can see what I typed.

I believe sometime people project their own mistake as being cursed or have a bad luck.

I remember the time my younger brother just started his pork jerky business, he somehow failed to make a good jerky that day, then he drove around town to find a catholic church with mary statue on the front of the building to light candle and do some prayers, ... there might be something with the pork, or maybe with one of the ingredients he mixed that day, maybe wrong composition, or too little or too much of something, maybe he forgot to wash the tool he used, but being cursed by competitor or how lighting a candle in front of random mary statue in front of a church would be the answer to his problem all to me sound extremely ridiculous, and for him a university graduate to believe such thing is amazing...

Yeah of course you right .. but your post didn't discourage me at all on the contrary, I felt encouraged, the only case in which I would feel frustrated was if others ignored me or no one cared to help me, but your response was useful so thank you very much. I have no idea photoshop can do that this will save a lot of time since I'm bad at inking I guess I really have a lot to learn .. I have a question what about shadows and dark areas is this also done by the same software or there's another program for that? ..

when you shade with pencil 4B and up and rub it smooth with smudging tool it will be smooth and black enough that it will be able to be tweaked into black without inking
if you need mechanical pencil that is really black but erasable Pilot eno G 3B lead is very black, if you apply steady pressure you can render totally black, even when it is only 3B

make your own smudging tool if you don't find one. get a scrapbook paper that is white but a bit hairy in texture, cut diagonally. and roll it tightly into a point, glue the end so it won't unravel
you can make several, blunt the tip more with sandpaper or finger nail buffer, then clean it with eraser to make sure no sandpaper residue left on the tip it can ruin your paper otherwise.  Make several tip sizes of smudging tool its very useful.

When the tip has collected too much charcoal, you can use it straight up to give effect like making cloud , water texture etc. so have several ready, you can clean the tip with eraser or fine grit sandpaper.

I use photoshop, there are other image editor krita, etc, that probably can do the same, but what I need the most is the option to record action in photoshop to save and play the same action on another drawing so I have consistency of post processing effect on multiple pages.

action is a feature to save process you do to one image, and do exactly the same to another image. just by pressing play button.
let say you have a pencil drawing, you go to action press record, then do edit on the darkness, contrast, to the point it looks like it's been inked, then stop the recording. now you have a set of action you can play on the next image like Page 2 and so on. you can even batch process the entire folder of scanned image. to do that in the action you need to record save and close file, so it will nicely safe and close the processed file once done to not stack up memory  usage.

this is another example how pencil drawing can look inky, just by post processing it

Thanks for the tips and sorry about that I'm still beginner and this is my first comic .. I will dispose of that and start all over again ..

Once again thank you .. 

don't dispose of that, can use as draft for your final comic. but drawing on lined paper really limits your option, as you HAVE to ink on different paper. I'm a 43 yrs old guy, I have many years behind me so what I posted is not meant to discourage you, just showing there is option to edit a pencil drawing to look inked.

something like this tutorial,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HR3IgftbDw
you just need to tweak it to the kind of pencil drawing you do, some people use harder / lighter lead other use softer/ blacker lead, also the kind of pressure you do when drawing. got to find setting suitable to your drawing.

man, don't draw comic on lined paper.

if you can't find a local comic paper format, you can either make a template yourself

put a ruler tape on 4 sides of the paper and photocopy it to a stack of 100grm smooth paper.
or
use triangle ruler with measurement  like this


to make it easier to draw frames

and buy french curve ruller (ruller for cclothes pattern making) set to make curving frames or curve effect easier.


if you draw your pencil neat enough, you can post process your scanned pencil drawing that you don't need to ink it, if you use photoshop you can record a set of actions you do, and you can run that action again on any following scanned image to post process it consistently.
like this


in my post processing action set,
-"desaturate" to get rid of any color from your scanner paper tint etc.
-copy the base layer then set the layer mode to "multiply"
-"unsharp" filter
-"water color" filter the set "layer opacity" to around 30%
-layer FX "curve" play around with the curve in RGB and each color channel (if you want to give it a tint for web comic for example)
-layer FX "level"


good luck

i think the victim of the curse can unconsciously doing a self fulfilling prophecy due to being aware and intimidated by it . a lot of pro athletes are superstitious  kind because they follow routines and listen too deep into their own psyche probably doing self hypnotize to give out every last bit of  extra performance they can squeeze out of their tired body, so a negative influence I suppose can affect those extra last bit and cause a loss.

a cursed couch potatoes on the other hand won't do any worse than their usual selves. I think hahah

second day after 2nd astrazeneca shot, I was fine yesterday, today I feel muscle sore and a bit of diarrhea, perhaps slight fever too, oh well.
