An Midnight Feast

Well, thought I would give you a quick update.

This evening I have had conversations with my friend Kat and my newest friend Martin, and both have been rather enjoyable. Not only have we managed to cover the convergence of alternate realities, but also the pros of Tim Gunn reviewing Super Hero Costumes.

But, here is something more to the point. I have received some designs from my good friend Jeannie of the characters in the comic book I am writing. Jeannie has kindly offered to illustrate it for me, and I obliged because she is awesome, and it means I get to work with her.

Issue Two is going well, I am on page 17, so doing well. I am about to finish up a flashback scene for the main male character, and then I will write the one for the main female character.

It's been really hard writing this issue, dealing with experiences that I haven't dealt with before makes it really hard to make it sincere. Also, writing things that are quite personal are also quite hard, but also good to vent. It's ironic because it's not the same as a blog, but in a strange way it is.Whatever happens, I am hoping it works and that when it is done, it will be enjoyed.

I may do the covers myself, I haven't decided yet, but this doesn't mean it's open for people to offer their services. If I decide to get someone else to do it I will contact someone because I have a few ideas. I know it sounds rude, but I have a thing about people trying to get involved with things that are so personal. I have a tendency to offer my talents sometimes, so I know that is can be quite improper.

Anyway, before I get obnoxious, Issue Three!! yes, it's being noted down, the finale of "The Last Train Home". Will it be a happy ending, or a sad ending, or an open ending?? Who knows??? I do know however that I want to explore some of the other characters. A few have popped up and don't really have any time to explore them, so I may do some one-shots with them. But that is something for a later date.

But, that's enough of that one. I have several other ideas I want to get writing soon. Most of them just as notes. I am also re-working my Script Frenzy failure into a comic form, I've been reading Warren Ellis's Ocean and Orbiter and feel it;s a better medium for the story. Basically, it has more chance of getting done.

Another thing that has been playing around is a web comic, but that's still in the ideas phase with someone, so I will probably surprise you guys at some point.

So, that about wraps all this up, I am off to check out prices on The Art of Jaime Hernandez.


Good Night, I shall leave you with one of my heroes.

A Long over due entry.

Well, it has been some time hasn't it, a long perhaps.

Well, what have I been doing, I have been busy going to and from MunkyUK, helping here and there, and slowly but surely teaching myself Illustrator. I have been writing, writing like no ones business.

The current project is called "The Last Train Home". If you have read previous entries you will already know this was a short story. I have evolved the characters more and carried on with what happened before and after their meeting.

My good friend Surferartchick is illustrating it for me with various notes and description sent via e-mail. I look forward to seeing her work. I however am working on Issue Two at the moment, as well as preparing another story for another character.

This other one is my Victorian Detective, my Sherlock Holmes if you will. I know it's going to be a bit harder to write, but I do look forward to it.

When I have more on the comic I will post some of it, but for now I have none. But I will leave you with this.......





Doesn't it look amazing!!!

Tag, you're it!!

Lindsey tagged me to write four interesting facts about myself, now I have to think.

So, here it goes.

1) I have incredibly dark brown eyes and hair. When I was born my hair was jet black, and my eyes turned from blue to brown in less than an hour.

2) I am a medicated depressive with anxiety and panic disorders, as well as a self destructive personality, this is where I believe my artist side comes from.

3) My favorite composers are Danny Elfman and Elliot Goldenthal.

4) Many of my peers at some point or another have questioned my sexuality, this also, not so obviously includes my parents, and it is down to my admiration and love of this chap.



He is my all time favorite fashion designer and I would love to intern with him and design clothes with him!!


Well, there you go, four interesting facts, well, I hope they are interesting, there are probably many more interesting things I could say, but I have been limited to four. So now I nominate.......

Jeannie

and

Katie



Tomorrow I am doing a shoot with a friend, it's all experience. I am mainly reaffirming myself with my skills and refreshing myself. So it should be fun.

Only a few more days

Yes, a few more days till I get paid, then I can upgrade my Flickr and grace you all will new pictures and such like.

Well, at this moment in time it's really cold, and the heating is on, and I am watching some dire straight to DVD thriller/ action film, why did I rent this??? Probably because it was free. BUT!!!! It does feature that gloriously underused actor Michael Biehn.

Well, here is my plan for the next two weeks, these are providing I can get out of suburbia and into town. My plan is to go and buy my new camera, and then go and look at new laptops. My intention is to be able to go out and take photos and then automatically download them to my laptop and see what they look like before I start screwing around with them. I am also thinking I will need a new laptop to help my future prospects.

I also need to go and sort out my PC and remove all the crap that is on it clogging up the hard disk, there is so much junk on there that it needs a real clean up!

Well, that's about it for this afternoon, if I can grace you with more, then I will.
