4-20 pages is a pretty big spread, and that's potentially a lot of work to feel obligated to do. I'd suggest a smaller number as a maximum.

There was a project back at some point I participated in, can't remember the name… but yeah, you basically got paired up. But it was 5 pages max. I think most people averaged one or two pages a week. Not saying that's what you should do, just my experience from a similar project.

It would depend solely on what the writer/artist wanted, so if they wanted to do a 4,7,10,or 20 page script and draw it it would be totally up to them. It would mainly be like the 24 hour comic challenge but with a collab twist and time extension, so you wouldn't be obligated to put out super high quality work.

I wish I knew how I managed to go to sleep last night without realising there was an eraser down my top. Somehow I did, and woke up this morning and eraser shoved between my boobs.

I think it was because I was drawing last night. But I still don't know how it managed to find itself in there, and then stay there… all night. o__O




I usually charge for that kind of thing.

So I took a break…yeah…

i don't mind manual labor. I would work construction if i had to. but when working construction and other manual labors, you know that quitting time is x. i have not known that for the last few days. go in working, and then when “quitting time” comes around, we keep working. jerks.

People were absolutely Nuts on the roads today – to the point that I almost bet it was a full moon tonight.

and I would have lost the bet. it's tomorrow. can't WAIT to see what kind of lunacy will be out there tomorrow

There's nothing quite better than getting a compliment on your work from someone you really respect. :) Although he does hate comics. Eh, you can't win 'em all.

I might be interested in that collaboration project. I'd need more details though.

You know what I hate? Being the awkward friend. Right now, I am the awkward friend, because a male friend of mine is “dating” (this is in quotations because they've only been to the movies together ONCE) a 15 year old in year nine, and basically, its really really creepy, and really really aswkward. They're sitting alone together right now, playing stupid hand games, and generally making the situation all the more awkward.

It is even more awkawrd when I found out they made out on the first date at the back of the movies during X-men Origins (I know right? How could they! X-men Origins was a good movie!) and they've only been “dating” a week.

Apparrently, I'm the only person who still thinks that you need to date at least a couple of times before getting to first base and believes that dating a 15 year old is wierd.

Pops sold most of the grown chickens. It's weird getting feed for the ones we kept (spare kennel) since the big pen where we keep it is empty. In another week or so the chicks should be big enough to go in there.

he must have bunted, and had to make a mad dash for first. and honestly as a teen, i can't remember not doing that…

“manmeat, what do you think second base is?”
“Marriage?”
“what about third and home?”
“I DON'T KNOW! Cricket only has 2 bases!”

LOL. Cricket reference…

Except Cricket doesn't have bases… Um….

Apparently his mad dash for first involed a lot of “Handy work” if you catch my drift.


So it was both First AND second base. HMMM

Well, great… zombie fatigue is setting, and vampire mania is raging widly. Found a commerical on the Disney Channel about a vampiress and 2 teenage boys training to be vampire/monster hunters.

So what's the next craze gonna be? Zombies? Demons? Elderitch Abominations (like Cthuhlu)?!? Oh, well… as long as that disaster called Transformers Kiss Players doesn't come up again… That's right. Giant Transforming Robots from the planet Cybertron… with female lovers. With Optimus Prime pairing up with Melissa Faireborne (spelling?), whose kiss can power up Optimus Prime a LOT. Too bad Megatron (the one who turns into a gun) can't get into this. He'd be one of the few transformers who could lay claim to having beautiful women hold him… and I bet that last line attracted a lot of pervs like flies… O_O

Ugh… while my supervisor didn't get what he wanted (me working all week without a day off), I still had to get one of my days off shifted but for different reasons. Looks like the guy who normally replaces me had to be shifted to another place, and he couldn't work Mondays as a result. Oh, well… Fate has a weird way at throwing bad Poker hands at people… (assuming you believe that life is like a game of Poker… every day you get dealt a new hand of cards)

Cthuhlu

I would love for there to be a Cthuhlu craze amongst teenage literature. Love stories about Cthuhlu and his teenage romance.


HAHAHHAHHAA.

Okay… I don't know what's scarier… all the tentacles involved… or the fact that teens would go insanely crazy over a “romance” story about Cthuhlu… who's got a lot of tentacles… O_O

Hell. I'd buy it.

Stressful last art project…
I'm handing in my portfolio Thursday morning so I basically have tonight and tomorrow to finish this thing. But I'm stupid so I made it a lot more detailed than it needed to be, and there's no way I'll be able to get it done. I asked my art teacher about it and he was like “Just do what you can.” What does that mean?! Will I be docked marks or not? Gah!

The other problem is that it's quite a bit bigger than what I usually work with, and it doesn't properly fit in my carrying thing or my easel. So I have to hold it up with my left hand while painting with my right, and now my arm is killing me. I think tomorrow I'll just paint on the floor.

(Hey, um, I went to bed right after I posted last night…. then went to work and slept again because I'm sick. I just read the responses I got to my post. Thanks everyone for the kind words. : ) and also how did you find my dA page? lololololololol
That guy's my friend and he had good point, however, I'm not a fan of dresden codak. >> )

@ Hippie Van: Teachers love it when you go above and beyond, even if you don't finish by the due date.

Also… can you lean your project against the wall? Might be more comfortable than the floor or holding it up!

Simples, I used the search function on devart and put in the title of your comic.

Hell. I'd buy it.


HOT.

With all the kids going totally insane everytime they see anything of the Cthulhu mythos be strange. You could go a lot more erotic and verge on the perverted.

I played the Call of Cthulhu RPG a lot when I was younger. The sick sexual stuff was always just under the surface. But all the characters got viciously killed or went completely insane before we ever had a chance to make out with a Deep One or get felt up by the Elder Race (who also have tentacles) I remember having the blouse of my female character ripped up by a razor sharp tentacles a couple of times.

She was a rarity among CofC characters because she never went insane and didn't get killed.

If you're not careful you could end up with a nudity ridden slasher film like Reanimator or From Beyond.

Had school photos today, and I pinned back my butchered fringe, so I didn't have a partial bowl cut, though I still looked like a drowned rat. Sat down the front because I'm a shorty, and had to sit next to the head of the Senior school. He was standing off to the side, and all of a sudden, he started talking but looking at me, and I said: “Haha, oh you baggin' out the way I look sir?” And he laughs and goes: “No, you just look really messy, I don't want to sit next to you because you'll make me look bad!”

I laughed it off and there was a bit of joking about it, me saying stuff like: “Haha, oh man, I'm so upset now, I'm going to go home and cry about how I look, haha.”

Then a girl turned around and said in all seriousness, “I feel more sorry for Him than you I'm afraid.” The Senior head was like: “OUCH, wait, that was actually mean.”

And now I feel terrible…

edit:

Oh sweet, my comic was just randomly mentioned in the Quackcast, I heard it and had to rewind to make sure I heard it right. It was the Genres one (that's right, I don't listen to stuff in order, EVER.) Apparently, Oz and Skool can't decide what genre it is.


It's a Western.


Obviously.

I just haven't bothered with the cowboy hats and gun fights and shit. :)

Bravo

Somehow, every single teen drama I can think of and include it somehow end up really really perverted in some way.

Yes I have a strange mind.

What did I tell you about those anime eyes and and marine cephalopods of the order Teuthida?

They never listen :(

I said magical reality/slice of life/autobio! You're Gabriel Garcia Marquez mixed with Salman Rushdie and Bridget Jones… Maybe? ^^

I have so much to do before I can get ready to jet off to the US for a month's holiday in July, starting with Comic Con in San Diego… It's so daunting, it's hard to contemplate it all. T_T

Might be something wrong with my guitar so I'm kinda pissed right now. Keeps going out of tune on ONE STRING and it did it in the middle of my Guitar Class final so…still got a 100 though. :P

As I don't know who those people are (apart from Bridget Jones) the only thing I will say in relation to this is that Rushdie guy has a cool name and I pronounced it as “Salmon”.


MMMMMM salmon.

Ack! Dangerous.
What you need is a change of genres. ;)

I prescribe giant Robo fighting mecha for you ASAP. And if that fails, I'm afraid there's no other option- It'll have to be Pokeballs. I recommend you start with a Charmander.

Dude, when I was in high school I knew 15 year olds that were preggers. First base is just… cute. ;) Although I confess you just made me simultaneously nostalgic for the simpler times, and exceedingly thankful that those simpler times are long in the past. Funny how that works.

Yeah… for some odd reason I don't think the Japanese Sailor Schoolgirl uniform fits her very well…

That's right. Magical Scepters, Elemental Powers, Flying Tiaras, and the powers of Friendship and Love are no match for big Viking weapons and the Beserker Rage some of them are known for. But they can still be stopped with heavy firepower. :)

Welcome to the world of Paris Hilton… with the added bonus of a 16 year old brain as well ;)
-No offence to actual 16 year olds

I like being an adult way better. Even with the responsibilities, it's still cooler and there's waaay more you can do. As an adult the possibilities are more open, nothing is closed off to you, whereas as a kid so many things are denied to you, so many things you just can't get to do or would be a very bad idea to do… (sex and stuff like that is only a teeny part of it).

The wide eye-d innocent, learning about the world aspect of it was good though, but you can only do that once.

There's something cyclical and profound to watching my own children conquer their innocence day by day. It's at the same time empowering and discouraging – to know that a little piece of me lives on into the next generation.

I don't think I could ever bring myself to desire childhood again, no more than I could desire fast-forwarding to my retirement. Each stage of life is mysterious and enlightening. And I'm beginning to find that the pace is just right.

But if you really want to relive your childhood (all the good parts, anyway) then have kids. You get to relive the best stuff through them anyway.

Life's a wheel and it just keeps on turning. :)
