Hooray!

looks like i’m getting back into it. Got 4 more ideas drawn up last night. Drawing is sloooowly improving, but still uncertain as to a style to stick to. I reeeeeally don’t want to touch the ‘weeaboo’ anime style at all. It’s cliche’d, and even thinking about doing that makes me die inside, non literally of course.

Exams fast approaching now, 29th, 4th and 6th. I hereby promise, that i will upload something by the eighth. I’ve been doing too much dancing around worrying about how i’m going to do this, rather than justuploading something fun and getting on with it. Breaking that initial barrier of embarrasment i guess is the main thing i worry about, but im not going to get around that.

so, if i dont put something up on/before the 8th, harry and phill will drag me away with ski masks, and leave my mangled corpse in a hole somewhere, from which i’ll return after a thousand years to creep the fuck out of local residents and cast a shadow of evil over the world. except, i wont. nor will i be killed. but the (slight) determination is back!

Not dead before it’s begun. Just busy.

yeah, I know I said I’d get stuff up soon, and I still intend to. I did say the first week or so back at uni might be a bit empty. I was so busy with the webaud coursework, and now python, that other that the few hours I get to spend with friends I’m packed. And that god-forsaken fire alarm, at 3:30. Twice this week. Seriously guys, what the hell. I’m pretty sure whoevers doing that, half of magaret rule hall wants you dead now. Although according to what becca said last year, I think we’ve been pretty good for fire alarms. Oh, I have managed to squeeze in a little practice at drawing, and I know its a little better than before but, I’ve kinda lost that confidence I had before. Comic drawing has ground to a total halt, I’m out of ideas already. This is the reason I didn’t start posting them right from the word go… I’m pretty certain that this is by no means a permanent thing, and once i start getting some free time and decent sleep, it will return to me, but I still feel ashamed to call my crappy-5-year-old-like-paper-spasms any kind of ‘drawing’. I originally wasn’t even bothered with drawing, I just wanted stick people. Now that looks really empty on the screen. On the other hand, I will never ever EVER upload anything more than simple stick images.

If you’re not living in constant fear then you’re doing something wrong

So I’m looking around the internets this morning, and I seethis

Long story short, what we percieve as the acceleration of objects moving away from us (in a galactic/universal scale) could actually be time slowing down. To be honest, there isn’t all that much to worry about. It’s an extremely slow process, and will take millions of billions of years to have any effect. Not that we’ll notice, being within the constraints of time ourselves. Plus its just a theory. A damn sensible theory. Eventaully of course, time will (if this is correct) grind to a complete halt.

Prof Senovilla told the New Scientist magazine “Then everything will be frozen, like a snapshot of one instant, forever,” but that “Our planet will be long gone by then.”. And that it will. I doubt humans (at least in any recognisable form) will still be around at that time. Everyone knows we just can’t wait to blow ourselves up before the universe gets a chance to cool off.

but yeah…a pretty worrying concept isn’t it. I myself go batshit insane every time I even think about dying, and somewhere in the back of my mind is a tiny voice telling me I’m going to live forever. That, ladies and gentleman, is the reason I’m not in a padded cell right now. Or just passed out in a ditch somewhere in Tilbury.

Delay

weeell, the tablet arrived this morning, and its rather awesome. Unfortunately, its all a bit harder than I’d anticipated. I could trace what I already have, but that would mean removing pages. It might come to that. CURSE MY LACK OF DRAWING SKILLS, CURSE THEM! Anyway, here’s a shot of the thing:

The drawing area is slightly overA4, so including border it’s rather large.

I promise I’ll get something up soon!

anyway, away I go. For sleeps.

Just to say

Happy new year to all! A bit late I know, but better late than never. Also, the graphics tablet has been ordered and should arrive in a few days. I won’t be able to start right off, too much uni work to do, but within a week I should push one or two strips onto here. I guess thats when this really*DRAMATIC PAUSE*… begins.

I’ve also been given a suggestion to make this a mini-comunity thing, involve my friends, have us alternate between making the content. Thats all well and good, but I’d like to keep to my own theme, and maybe have them post their own stuff under a seperate section. anyway, that’s something to think about another time

All the best for 2008!
