Comica

I've started a new comic series.

I'm going to flesh out the storyboards a bit, make sure I can draw the characters the same way every time (oie, the faces, at least most of them are wearing masks or beards, so that will be easier), and hopefully I'll be able to launch it on my website by the beginning of next year.

It's a serious project with a story that's been swimming around in my head for nearly three years now. It will unfortunately not be funny, more of a epic fantasy. I wish I was funnier. Bleh.

It has a huge background story that I need to be careful about introducing properly when it's needed. I plan to start it at a very tense moment, technically in the middle of the story, and fill in the gaps along the way. Fortunately that will be easier, as the main guy character will be meeting the main female character for the first time after the tense stuff is over, and hopefully I can introduce her back story through his eyes. Cept, she won't explain it properly for a long time to come. She's a little introverted. I dunno. Volume Two will be the story of this woman's daughter and she starts out explaining her mother's life story, but it may be years before I get to start volume two.

Yeah, I know I'm being vague.

It's called The Legend Of Sarai. She's part faerie, one of the last of her kind, marries a farmer in the east, farmer gets killed, marries a prince in the north and has a daughter, prince gets killed, runs away with said daughter to the west while 'the dark' spreads across the land after them, daughter gets captured and taken back east, she runs after them with male hero character which is where the comic kinda starts. Sounds common now, but I have some unique stories planned for it.

I want to say that it will be something kinda in the middle of The Lord of the Rings and Death Note... maybe a bit of Dark Tower mixed in there too. That's my aim... but it won't be as good as either, and it won't be copying either. Ha.

I'll stop the gibberish now. Just wanted to say.

Oh Donovan

I don't know why it is, but the name Donovan has been attacking me lately.

You know how it is when you discover a new word... and then it starts showing up everywhere... like how could you not have noticed that word before?

Started out with me liking Jeffrey Donovan, the guy from Burn Notice and Touching Evil. Great actor. Then there's Donovan, the character on Eureka. Then Capt. Craig Donovan of Seven Days. (I started watching that series again yesterday.) Then Donovan is the first name of a guy that lives upstairs from my brother's place. Oh, and Donovan McNabb on yahoo today.

Not that any of this is remotely interesting, I just thought I'd share.

Currently: Going o_O IRL

Crazy People

Had some excitement at church this morning.

I'm a teacher's assistant for the 2 and half and 3 year olds. We were in the middle of a class when this big built black dude rushes in and hands me flier and then rushes out. Cindy asked me if I knew him and I said, um, no. So she went into the hall and he came out of the supply room with a fire extinguisher, went into another classroom and traded it for a trash can and then told Kevin that the fire extinguisher was a bomb. Some of the men escorted him out of the building while Shauna called the police. He took off down the street before they got there but they found him. They said they knew about him and that he was having an 'episode'.

That was interesting. Hehe.

Currently: Singing silently.

Aftermath

Oie!

That was a fun concert. Kathy and I were sitting around making fun of people. Derek's band is great. I know they'll get onto the radio soon.

Currently: Painting mermaids.

Updations

Ooooh, very excited.

I'm going to a friend's concert tomorrow night. Serosia! Derek plays guitar and writes alot of the music.... and he screams some. Can't wait.

Lookin' for a job again.

That's the news. Ha.
