New Blog! And Music for Vexing!

Posting my Time Hollow review later today guys. So just bare with me while I make this quick post.

Okay, it's not really music for Vexing, but it's music that I listen to while drawing to get me in the mood. I'm actually listening to this playlist right now. There isn't a whole lot of upbeat tracks you'll notice. That's because while there are lighthearted moments, the series itself is not what I'd classify as a comedy. It deals with some very dark subjects. Some subjects are very close to my heart and are still very tender.

The inspiration for Vexing mostly comes from a dream I had when I was younger. I had a dream that I met a prince, who rescued from a school that had me trapped. Later I would learn what this dream really meant, but in the moment, all I knew was that my dream prince was my "destined person" and that the current situation I was in was on the outside perfect and sunshiny, but it scared me to death. It's hard to explain unless you've had a dream like that, but I'm sure everyone has. Haha, I guess that means it's not at all hard to explain. I know what you're thinking, "But you keep saying the main character is a lesbian!" Well, that is really me just over simplifying everything. Who's to say Cosette is ever going to have a homosexual encounter? ... Well, ME, but you'll just have to wait. Cosette has her own psychology I've developed, and I'll just have to see where it takes me. Don't get me wrong, I definitely know where I want this story to go, but sometimes when you go to set it in stone, it takes a sharp turn somewhere and goes off in a different direction, and that path is beautiful and wonderful.

Combine all that with murder mysteries, fairytales, and a ton of other things, and you've got Vexing. Enjoy the music, because it has certainly helped me with the writing/drawing process.

 

 OH YEAH. Also, I have a new blog! I keep getting questions about blogging, so I decided to just make a new blog to help people out with different things. Check it out! http://helpmyblogsucks.blogspot.com/

Anyways, see you later today for the Time Hollow review.

Vexing, Page 6

jesus thats emo christian

Something doesn't sit right with me about Melody. Idk about you guys but I think there's something up with her.

Anywho. Vexing's back! I toyed around with a new inking style. But I may just keep to my same old same old.

Alright time to go to bed with me.

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

I said to myself, "This week has been absolute hell. I'll take it easy and just draw something to calm myself."

Hours later I finish an incredibly bad sketch and realize I spent longer on this than a simple news post. Again, FML.

Anywho, actual game reviews are going to return, along with Vexing. Also I'm trying to set up a shop over at CafePress. I've always loved designing shirts an that kind of crap, so expect me to have a fun time doing that stuff. CafePress' prices aren't even that bad... okay enough of this before I venture into shameful plugging. Buy my shit. Goddammit.

See you later!

I made a bitchin new banner

This isn't really a post, more like a quick update.

I finally got around to drawing myself a banner. It's of me drawing a Tepig with the help of Comrade Black and Blob. Comrade Black is helping me sketch, and Blob is painting as usual. Comrade Black doesn't look too happy about the painting. Lol.

Anywho, I'll see you later tomorrow.

First Thoughts: Pokemon White

So, I caved, went into GameStop, and traded in a few games. Mostly stuff I had already played out for what they're worth: Fable 2, Fable 3, Assassin's Creed II, and a few other DS games (I lol'd at the fact that Time Hollow only got me 40 cents). I managed to get almost $100 in trades, so I grabbed De Blob 2 and Pokemon White. I'm absolutely thrilled with both of them so far, but I have a long rambling post about DB2 so I'll save that for a later time.

An Otaku's Apology to Japan

As more and more news rolls in about our friends in Japan, one has to be very grateful that the Japanese were well prepared. Yes, this is still a great tragedy, but imagine if Japan were a mere third world country with a poor infrastructure and absolutely no preparation on their part-- the already very high death toll would increase ten-fold, if not a hundred times. Even now,  Japan is still in danger; workers are scrambling to cool down the nuclear plants and there could still be an aftershock coming.

It's at times like these you can count on the selflessness of your fellow man, right?
