A Question and Little Else

Sat Oct 6, 2007, 3:01 PM
  • Mood: Neutral
  • Listening to: FF7mix:Airships make me Happy by Star Salzman
  • Watching: Mythbusters
  • Playing: The waiting game... so boring...
Wandering off again, are we, Elizabeth? ...yup. I've been on a less-than-magical journey -almost- completely free of things like focus, capacity for attention, and presentable artwork. But I can't provide a log of where all I've been due to insufficient memory... take that however you like.

Been thinking long and hard about my comics (Lately, I've not been feeling up to completing much art, so I've not actually DONE much but think about it), and reached a point where I need to decide on the general direction once and for all before I really try to start on it after making up many scenarios to use in some way or another.

Should I:
A: Make it a normally toonish thing even though I don't think I'm very funny and that I probably wouldn't be able to continue with when I feel serious or unhappy,
B: Make it a normally serious thing, even though my capacity for art may not be high enough to match the plot and I might feel too silly to further it sometimes.
C: Fuse the two together, making it swing from dramatic to silly and back, thus either infuriating fans (if any) of one side or the other or possibly having something for everyone.
D: Make two separate comics of types A and B which have mostly the same characters but somewhat different settings,
plot styles, titles, and possibly age ratings (so the kids don't see violence and get nightmares or try to mimic something and hurt themselves).
or E: Give up on my characters, spiral into depression and draw nothing but sad clowns and naked people crying... or sad naked clowns crying.

I may pick one myself even if the votes are highest on one or the other... I mean, I can't deny the fact that every so often I feel like drawing something nonsensical, or the complete opposite of that. I just want to know what you guys think, if you'd be so kind as to share a piece of your mind with me.

And no, the cast will be wider than just the characters I have displayed that you know about, some I've had for years that I've never shown other people. (Some such as Harriet, will recieve a redesign and reassignment... most of you don't know who I'm talking about, though :XD: )

Anyway, repent, the end is near, etc. and Go see :iconrainbwice: about commissions if you want charas drawn. I'm gonna wander off now... I'll attend to my remaining messages later when I feel more like partaking of my computer screen's nice warm radiation.

-----STATUS--------------------------------------------------
Requests: No, I'm not taking any requests.
Trades: No, not accepting art trades at this time.
Commissions: Not doing those now, either.
Working on: Plotlines, new icon (not getting a good start on that... I'm still kindof lagging artwise)

Well, not much to report on my end... I'm just trying to think up good/fitting names for my little crocodilian friend if I do actually rename her, as well as making more characters and stories. I shall now withold information on what they are to keep you in suspense. =P

The requests that were formerly open are now closed for the time being. Here's my worklist.

1. Joshead224 * Finished*
2. Mistypine01 * Finished*
3. Hurricaneblackspark * Finished *
4. Kureejiilea *Finished*
5. MushuD *< A HREF="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/54352085">Finished*
6. Soan *Finished *

Okay, and with that I'll wrap up the journal.

And go see . She's selling commissions. You can get higher quality art from her than you can from me, so go there to get a pic unless you simply don't have the ability to buy from her.

And here's stuff on how to keep your soul comfortable after you die.

Assorted things...and questions

Meh well.. still doing pretty badly. I've had a hard time recently... my mother died on the 15th... but you know, it was more a relief than a horror to me... She was in alot of pain from ovarian cancer even with the painkillers she was on, and her condition had been in steady decline since Febuary... It had gotten harder to cope with, especially near the end and she's better off now. She'd accepted Jesus before I was even born so... we know where her soul is now. And that's a great relief in itself...

Anyway, I'm okay with her passing even though things aren't going the best. There's no need for any of you to feel bad, or sorry, or anything like that... but that's what's been going on with me recently...

One of the contributing factors in me ignoring DA... That and I've finally got my driver's license, but I feel it's getting less and less important to me to keep track of things on here.... For one thing, I have less time than ever to spend on the internet... as though my connection will let me half the times I try to get on... Oh well...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Recently I've been doing alot of thinking and reflecting on things... maybe a little too much about too many things...
I feel a bit guilty about stuff I've done in the past...
Have for a long time, actually, when I think about it. But I didn't know what to do, really...

For one thing, I used to be kinda mean to some people in MSC (Missy's Sonic Chat on beseen)... I'm sorry now, and that doesn't amount to a hill of crap to some of you, I know... but I am very sorry. Yeah, I know several years is late for a public apology if you're one of the ones I hadn't already appologized to in the past, but now is better than never, right? I don't even know where to reach most of you now, so... I guess this is as good a place as any, and it's better that people know I've been somewhat of a cad in the past so they can avoid me now if they want to.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well... if anyone still would want to and feels like it, I'm curious...some of the things I'd been thinking about and would like to get some input on...

What would you be willing to pay me for art commissions if I actually started taking them... (remember, I said IF) Taking into mind that I'm not remotely close to being a trained professional and you can't buy porno from me?

Secondly, if you'd drawn a picture of my character with her name displayed on it and I was thinking of changing her name, would you be upset or disappointed by me changing it? Or have you not made one, but are upset or disapointed by the thought anyway?

Thirdly, Does it bother you if a show/comic/game swings from comedic to dramatic fairly often, or do you like it to be most or all of one or the other alone?

And Lastly, can anyone recommend a good breed of small, easily groomed housedog that's good for a mild allergy sufferer that doesn't want an overly energetic or destructive beast? I've been trying to seek out a sheltie, but they seem too hard to find here.

Mnn... I guess that's it... Then I'll either go rest up a bit or get down to replying to junk...I don't really feel like doing that, though...
Ah well... until we meet again....

G'bye.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requests/Trades: Both Closed...until I can clear more messages...Then I might just update this to open instead of making a new entry, but for now it's still closed.

Okay, I've been gone or just plain unproductive when I actually am on here... And I know I really should've come on more, but I've still been feeling bad (yeah, not the whole time I was mostly absent, but for a large part), and bad stuff I'd rather not talk about has happened to me and my family. We'll be ok though, Lord willing.

But that's enough about that. The main reason I bothered popping up to change my journal is, if you're looking for a way to spend some money, or need art commissions, You should go check on Mary Bellamy 's journal stuff. She could really use a hand right now.


Yeah, I almost forgot... Here's the link for learning soul-saving info that I've taken to putting in my journals these past few times.

I don't feel like making art for anyone. Requests/trades are closed...

Entry over. Disperce.

I'm tired of thinking up entry titles.

Mnn... I wish I felt better more often... life sure has a way of making a person tired... I'm sure this entry will spread it and make you tired, too. Turn back while you still can.
I can't seem to get enough energy these days, and to tell you the truth, my self-confidence has dropped considerably. Not that I was all that confident to begin with...
Lately I feel that the internet is more of a chore than anything, especially parts where discussion is envolved (for the most part, some things are good/okay ).

Anyway, I haven't felt like doing much, but I've worked on stuff on and off for many days... most of what I'll put up in a while has actually been finished for over two weeks, but I just haven't felt like bothering with completely finishing them or/and putting them up. New avatar included... I liked the other one better, but it's not summer anymore, so it's time to change it since I said I would.

Maybe The new TV season will cheer me up... I'm going to watch Some new show with John Lithgow and also Mr T's new show, I Pity the Fool. It's supposed to be motivational, so maybe it will help me out. Who knows. I don't usually like reality shows, but I like Mr. T.

This has nothing to do with my feeling fairly crappy, but I'll be 23 on the 23rd this month. So yay, matching numbers... I kinda like it when numbers match like that for some reason. Oddly enough, my brother's birthday is ten days and ten years before mine.

Moving on... I've been thinking up new characters, stories, and how to fit them all together...no telling how long before you'll see any of them if you care at all.

So anyway, I keep saying this, but just because I think it's important... I feel that the end times are approaching. So yeah, you can
look at This website for a short explanation of how to be saved.

Okay, see you people later. Journal entry over and out.
