About Me
I am a geek for many things geeky, including Star Wars, Monty Python, Anime and Manga, and my ever-present daydreams and fantasies.
My art style doesn't tend to involve anime and manga all that much - I much prefer to create my own style, a blend of all others I've seen, which often depends largely on the style the series is in.
My current obsession is... well, Melody & Macabre. :)

Hm. Good point. Caves don't offer very much humor.
I think the addition of new characters will probably bring about that change too. Though I already have a conflict planned with the characters we already see, it'll take some time to fully mature. I just hope I'm not rushing it with the boring football talk. XD
While I might not scrap Gary the Alchemist, I'll still be working a bit on the sequel for Mel&Mac. I definitely want it sooner than later, and if I can't get an artist, then I'll push myself to draw it myself.
...I'll need to review tutorials on drawing well, and shading. Probably paneling too, since I want to do it in a comic book style, rather than four panels.

Oh. No, wasn't really intending an Emily. I have Hero, from EpicSaga in there,
though.
(Which I really need to update. Crap.)
Hm. I guess that girl on the right could be Emily if she grew up... okay, three then.

Haha, thanks. I'll do my best.
And... hm... in the next commercial break (watching TV, haha) I need to go grab my plans for upcoming comics and work on the script for next week.
I do NOT want to get caught working on Monday's comic and finding I have no idea what I'm doing. XD

Nuts. Y'know, originally it was going to have absolutely no story, but I didn't think
it'd last beyond ten pages.
Then I came up with Simon, and... well, characters began to add up and it developed a story.
(Aren't we on a different comic right now? XD)

Ah. *checks it out*
I don't know why it's not okay to balance story and comedy. I'm still trying to figure that out. I want Gary the Alchemist to be funny, while presenting a story, though it's really really hard.
Stupid Gary. He's not interesting enough to be funny.

HAHA! I highly doubt that. Though I'd much prefer to write and have someone else do art.
Like what I hope to do with the Mel&Mac sequel.

I swear, if done properly the sequel will be hella fun. New characters, more stories, a
deeper look at Mel&Mac's supporting characters and their backgrounds, and it'll
finally show David Solomon, Ace's boss.
Also, the villain will make Samael look like a wuss.
The Imp? A mascot? Wow, I never even thought of that.
ALSO: Yeah, I hope to never do Yaoi or sprite comics. I MAY do a romance (BOY/GIRL) comic, if I can get the courage to do landscapes and cityscapes.

Ahem.
The troll has made another appearance, harassing not only me but a few of my readers. As such, I have (hopefully) blocked him from commenting again. I am fully aware that I am not the best artist or humorist in the world, and have put myself down plenty of times in the past, particularly when anyone ever suggests I sell it. However, I am a storyteller and wish to continue telling my stories. If anyone has any problem with it, they can go defecate into a bowl and grab a spoon. I'm sure it will be much more enjoyable to you than reading my comics, if you're going to make such a fuss about it.
I don't want to start trouble, I just want to make comics. I warned you, and have followed through with my warning.
On to the rest of the week, yes?
(And if you somehow find a new way to comment, I won't hesitate to delete as it is far less effort for me to delete a post than for you to write it. Now, if you find a new way to comment and either apologize or actually choose to be helpful with advice or tutorial links, then it will be greatly welcomed. But otherwise, piss off.)

I should've clarified in that week's text. Nuts. Ah, well.
So, I'm planning a redo for some of these comics' titles. Or, well, not their titles, but... I want to introduce the same numbering system as I have for my scripts, so if people want to go back to a certain week, they merely have to check back by number. Each comic will be numbered by week, and which comic within that week it is. The number is then followed by the comic's individual title.
I may also have to think up something to differentiate each school year so I don't end up going up to, like, 208-3 or something. But I guess that's up to what you guys think would be better.
Artist's position is still open for the Mel&Mac sequel. I've had one entry so far, and might go for it if nobody else offers up some doodles. Heck, I might even just break and draw it myself. Though I'm admittedly a very sloppy artist...
Alright, well, I guess this is it for this week. Next week is Thanksgiving, and I WILL be having updates as much as possible. I have the script all planned out, and the Imp has some enjoyable bits IMO.
