So, some random things (and yes, this is two journal updates within about two months.. ridiculous).

First, I have decided to make a comic. I have some basic parts of the story written out. I am curious however, what type of comics do you most enjoy? What keeps you reading a comic? Since I have really never made a comic that was more than four pages this could be a challenge. Especially since, I am not great at writing good dialogue.

Second, I somewhat want to have a contest. I don't know yet what kind of contest or what the prizes would be. This being related to the comic, I was thinking if people wanted to make like a wanted poster of an OC of theirs and then which ever one I pick would be in the comic (the wanted poster and possibly the OC somewhere too.) Anybody would be welcome to enter. Watchers and random people reading this would be welcome!

That is all for now.

So, because I want to actually get into Fine Arts next year, I need to start drawing more often. My plan is to draw something everyday (well not necessarily draw, but do something like sculpt, paint, etc) but I need ideas of what to draw each day. That's where you people come in. If anybody has ideas that would be great. I do want to somewhat maximize the amount of original work, so I would said fan art a maximum of every other day. I honestly need help with this Maybe I'll even upload everything I draw.

Anyway, I've been meaning to do this for a while. I want to list all my favourite comics for you people to read if you want. Ya know, do something for you guys and the artists of the comics at the same time. So I will start randomly.

"Tales of the Broken Moon" aka "The Bean" by Travis Hanson [link]
The story starts with 'The Bean' working at a pub in a forest, which is run by ogres and such. He goes out to get supplies and gets kidnapped and you know, the adventure happens.

Oh, and go visit his journal: [link]
He is making the first few issues of the comic into a larger book so if you like it, you can buy it that way and get them all at once. Plus help make the book actually happen.

"Bear Nuts" by Alison Acton [link]
Seriously one of my favourite comics ever. Just read it cause I said so.

"The Meek" by Der-shing Helmer [link]
So far into its third chapter. Each chapter has focused on a different main character and I assume their stories merge eventually. The art is amazing and definitely worth reading.

"Plume" by K. Lynn Smith [link]
I only started reading this one recently. And I think it only started recently. It's a steampunk/western. So far pretty good. Something about the art also really gets me. (In case you haven't caught on, I usually love the art work in comics I read).

"The SWEFS" by Dirk Erik Schulz [link]
I love his style of drawing. The story is awesome. The website functions terribly and you won't actually be able to read anything but the most recent page. To my knowledge he is working on making the website actually work.

"Questionable Content" by J. Jacques [link]
I have been reading this one for quite a few years. The story is great. And I mean almost 2000 pages in, so I suggest reading it if you have time on your hands. The art is a lot worse at the beginning but that would be because he's gotten better in the like eight years that the comic has been going.

That's all for now. I may update the list to add the other comics I read. Hopefully you will like some of the comics. And also maybe add some ideas to my drawing list.

Thanks for reading all of this

**edit**
I forgot to mention, I am part of a collab with
Basically we are drawing a bunch of the enemies from Mario games. There are still enemies to be picked so go and join!! [link]
**end of edit**

I know that I never got 19 people to comment on that last journal, but it was taking up too much space. At the bottom of this journal I will still have everyone who was featured there. Just the icons though.

Anyway, I sort of feel like I'm in a slump. Which makes no sense since I've drawn a lot this month (okay, a lot for me.. like 5 things). But I feel like I'm not getting anywhere. SO I was thinking of doing a collaboration or something. Right now I am up for anything. But I'd say more likely cartoon stuff. Like Mario characters or something. Since I do love Mario.. But other things would be cool too.

In other ACTUAL news.. I think I am doing pretty well with my own character stuff. I have like 7 drawn now. And like another 10 planned out. Plus I'm working on an actual story to go with it (I want to make it into a game or comic or something of that nature).

Rules:
Be one of the first 19 people commenting on this journal entry, and I will add you to the Featured List!
For each of the 19 first people answering this journal I will put his/her avatar and the three deviations I like most from his/her gallery on the list.
If you answer, you can opt to do the same in your journal, putting me on the first place, completing the list with 19 other people. The idea of this is to spread art around for everyone. I'm not going to hound anyone to put this on their own journal, but if you like, please do!

So I am pretty much scrapping all the ideas from the last journal. Not saying I won't do them, they are just not at the top of my list (obviously.. considering I haven't done very many of them.) What I want to do now is.. well two things. The first being redrawing all my characters, or at least the ones I really like. My goal is to add more details to each one. And make less characters that are wearing jumpsuits! Too many of those. I think I will also make them taller. Instead of being 3 heads tall, I will try to do 5 heads tall, like Pandora.

Basically the characters that I am for sure doing this with would be Helios and Sam-Urai (I will actually be changing his name). The rest of my characters I am not as interested in keeping. Dimetrios I am going to redesign, because he is in the story line. His name might also change. Which really would just make him a new character all together. Hyperion is another character I want to keep. I just have to make sure while I am designing all my characters this time around I make them more consistent. Since Hyperion had a nose when none of the others had noses. He and Sam also only had four fingers on each hand as opposed to five. So if you see inconsistency from me LET ME KNOW!!

The second thing I want to do is possibly doing commissions or collaborations with people. I'm not sure if that will happen. I don't even know if anyone would pay me money to draw them something! But hopefully if that doesn't happen I could at least do collabs. So if anyone is interested let me know please
