(19) 4 Neila: A Place for My Head
starvingartist on Feb. 2, 2006
Four Page Update!
FIRST PAGE HERE
==========================================
Ok about my pages Um Introducing Neila, Hal, and by request Nick. That's right everyone's favorate villan from SA 1 is back, and He owns the building! Dont worry though, he rents it out to Starving Artists, so he never gets the rent XD
About Neila and Hal: Neila is a young musician/artist, she's been wandering the streets of this city for 2 weeks trying to find work, money, a place to stay the usual. She wears all grey/black and her coat is bright red with a black scorpion(on back) and black trim.
Hal is her Android/robot companion he keeps an eye on her, and she stored him in her Sax Case while wandering the streets, now he can recharge from the power outlet.
Well I think that's enough info about them for now(man I talk too much), I'll post a full Character Profile in the DD Forum soon (within the next week). If ya'll have any questions feel free to ask.

perhaps the building could be owned by the tennents? like a colletive owning with someone being responsible for collecting the rent to pay the taxes and whatnot for the building...where everyone owns it if they pay rent?

Yay! Great update, Neila-san! Your art style is awesome, and chibi Hal is the cutest thing since... since..... you know what I mean! I really liked this update, but as for the controversy: I have no problem with Inkmonkey OR Nick. I admit, I do have quite a bit of respect for Inkmonkey, and haven't had much of a reason to respect Nick. I enjoy reading both of their updates, and even though I usually like the bad guys, Inkmonkey was an awesome character to me! Well, to stop boring you with my inane rantings, I like 'em both, but if I had to choose, it'd be Ink. I don't mind Nick being the owner, but I actually think that he might of... should of... You know, applied. But that's enough ranting from me! Your update deserves a five, Neila!

http://www.divisiblebyzerocomics.com/index.php?viewDate=20050920 Being moderate was ALWAYS one of the cooler things about Kent. ESPECIALLY since he likes pie. Sarah, I was too much on "bleagh" mode. I never really did mention that this was just genuinely done WELL. Have a five.

Yeah. You could never be sure whose side you were really on. I liked that in a villain. ~IJ

Eggbert, I think you were lots of people's favorite...
Eggbert at 9:39PM, Feb. 4, 2006
Not to sound self centered, but I was my favortie villian in SA, what little villaining I got to do, anyways. Great update Nelia, bizzare insertion of Nick aside.
Giandroid at 8:51PM, Feb. 4, 2006
I'm hear for ya IJ!
Neilak20 at 8:18PM, Feb. 4, 2006
Yeah IJ, everything just falls to hell...
Ian Jay at 8:12PM, Feb. 4, 2006
Dang. I leave for two days-- TWO DAYS!-- and look what happens. Everybody's bickering. And now... Nick runs the building, apparently. Or not. Something. (Still, he does succeed as a character in that he creates a lot of controversy. Riiiight?) Anyways, good art, great update. And... I would have expected HAL to sing something more along the lines of "Daisy, Daisy" as his startup song... ~IJ
Inkmonkey at 7:53PM, Feb. 4, 2006
Hm... I get the impression from some of the comments that they think I was referring to Nick the character, which I wasn't. My issues primarily stem from Nick as a person, not as a comic character.

mike-g: He's singing quietly to himself so he doesnt wake up Neila

Twilight_of_the_gods at 3:08PM, Feb. 4, 2006
controversy aside, I thought this was a good update. I've always enjoyed your work so here, have a five.
ShunKuB at 2:43PM, Feb. 4, 2006
And for Jayde, that was me as the unknown used XD
NPC_Girl at 2:11PM, Feb. 4, 2006
well to be fair on nick.... his not actuelly the villain yet in the comic because he hasn't actuelly done anything bad. besides having the graveyard shift in the apartment building. but i dunno about you but some people would veiw that as noble. i mean who wants to stay up at 1 AM for anybody who might come in? someone either nut's or who got the short end of the straw.

Great update, have a five

Very good update Neila. I like it. ^.^ It's nice to see a little bit of the old SA crew again. Also, after reading the comments, I just have to add my $0.02. I'm no longer a member of SA, but I've got to say I liked Nick quite a bit more than most of the other characters on SA. And most of Inks gripes that he has with Nick are the same gripes I have with Ink and his style. It's a difference of opinion in a community comic, and shouldn't be made to be such a big deal. Obviously Nick didn't apply for the ownership and therefore didn't get it. So obviously Nick was just thinking he owns the building. Just like he thinks he owns everything. ^.^ At least until he or someone else applies for the position.

Okay, here goes; This was a well drawn update, Neila, and you introduced your character well. I especially enjoyed the feather at the end (nice little reference to past updates). Nick hs also made his appearance, and that is fine. While it does seem odd (and a little underhanded) to step up and make oneself the owner of the building the world is centered around, there is (as stated before) "wiggle room". Now I'm not for killing off others characters especially this early in the game. I'd like to think that we could move beyond this and have fun again. I look forward to seeing the world take shape. I'm quite eager to make my mark on said world.

Oops double post.
Evil Emperor Nick at 9:18AM, Feb. 4, 2006
Ink I don't think would work for me seeing as your position is both unoffical and seems to be something you volunteered for. More then likely you're position in relationship to my own (pending approval) would be to yell at me to get things done on the behalf of the collective tenants when they are unhappy and sometimes help out tenants in need when I won't/can't.
Neilak20 at 9:01AM, Feb. 4, 2006
Giando, feel free to use the wiggle room, honestly I was kinda expecting people to take issue with Nick "owning" the building. But Like Ink said, you dont have to like it you have to live with it, and interpret it the way you want (I think he said that somewhere anyway) Personally I'd like to avoid all this drama, and if that means doing something like NOT adding in friend requests then so be it, I can do an entire update centered around only Neila, it'll seem kinda self centered but hey, I'll avoid stepping on so many freakin' toes. Also I coulda sworn I talked to a few people about Nick's Building thing before I even started penciling, and got little personal feedback on it, but if I'm mistaken about that, then that's on me. Maybe I was Hallucinating due to lack of sleep I dont know. And guys, you have no need to appologize, these are your views, this is how it stands. And no matter how much you try to say "we're only mad at Nick for putting himself in your update" Keep in mind: 1) I needed another character for my update 2) He asked me right before I was gonna ask him 3) I drew the damn thing so naturally your comments will feel like they're directed at ME. 4) Of course he's not really everyone's fav villian, I know theres more people who dislike him greatly than actually like his character. If any of you had asked to be put in my update I woulda drawn you, and then I wouldnt have to hear this crap. Do what you will, and if you want Kill Neila OFf in your update, its up to you anything goes right?
Evil Emperor Nick at 8:40AM, Feb. 4, 2006
I would suggest that since your position "Unofficial Maintanance/Community Organizer: Inkmonkey" are both unoffical it seems to be that you would be probably be head of the appartment owners association or some such similar group as well which would mean actually I work for you. Since your not being paid one can't actually boss you around, as opposed to the renters who can demand just about anything for their money.

*Ignores the drama, as she doesn't really _care_* Heh. Feathers.

Sorry about my lower comments, Good update Neila. It doesnt matter if theres some plot points that didnt sit well with me, in all the update was handeled very well. The art was very good and the panels flowed like water. Have a 5
