   I've got crisps and i've got cake and i've got the sandwich that i did make...
heya everyone. welcome to m regular update. phew.

its been a pretty nifty half week since i last updated. no, i havnt got a job and no, i havnt got a cdd for you guys today (gomen!) but generally things have been going pretty well.

Thursday i was in a pretty good mood generally, and i actually enjoyed myself at cadets for a change. lol. tomorrow im probably gonna snap and kill someone, but we shall see...

On Friday i had my driving theory test. I had to go to the test centre in Sidcup to answer a buncha questions and do a unch of Hazard Perception clips. The questions were multiple choice answers and i got 33 right, and the pass mark was 30, so i managed that ok. The H.P section is where they show you video clips where you have to imagine you are driving the car, and you have to click the mouse button everytime you spot something that could be a hazard, and then again if it becomes a hazard. i did ok i guess. It was really hard! the pass mark for the HP section was 44 points. I got 45!!! barely made it. phew. i was really getting stuck into it though. Everytime someone pulled out infront of the camera or did something monumentally stupid, i had to bite my tongue from yelling obsenities at the screen. ^^;; i wanted to yell out "Oi! what the hell do ya think you're doing? get outta my way!" ^^;;;; i guess i have too much road rage in me. ;p

but i passed that so now i can take my practical. i'll probably do that sometime before september. ^^ the theory test is valid for two years after all...

what else...oh yeah. Guess whats finally found its way onto television across the United Britain... NARUTO.
yup, the ever so popular Ninja Anime has finally found its way onto British TV. Its on Jetix on the 8pm slot on weekends at the mo. (which is weird, i thought it would have been claimed by toonami but whatever) I was genuinely surprised that it hadnt been released here, even on DVD, seeing as it is so popular in the US. welp, now its here. lets see if it makes an impact.

Thats pretty much all the main news from me.
I havnt done any Chibi Darke comics recently, mainly cuz i've been working on my Art of Otaku competition entry, and partly for other reasons too. i'll try and have one ready for wednesday, but dont hold ya breath. i've got a number of projects lined up, and its trying to find time for em all amongst looking for a job, doing chores, watching Scrubs, avoiding nagging parents. ^^;;

welp, i will leave you with the last section of my Original Character report for your entertainment. And i'll even throw in a Haiku for free. you cant say better than that.

chibi darke: "better than that." there, i just said it.

darke: *boots the chibi wiseguy out the window*

enjoy!

Moving away from the graveyard we have a small world inhabited by four very, very small characters. For this is the world of the four panel gag comic known as Chibi Darke Days. It started as a small comic I was gonna try and do as a webcomic, although it never got to that stage. But it kept on going anyway, and is very popular.
It follows the adventures of 4 miniature angels and their human friends.

Chibi Darke: A Chibi version of Darkeangel (see below) in character design only. The actual personalities of the two are quite different. Chibi Darke is mischievous, fun loving, and down right cheeky. He stands at 3 ½ inches tall, as has a tail, black halo, and bat wings and wears a black bandana. His tail appears to have shape shifting properties. Lives with the “Heaven and Earth” crew, three female teenagers, who in this world, are not vigilantes. (see “Earth Angels: Heaven and Earth” section)

Chibi Laura: Darke’s best friend, a Chibi version of Laura (see Holy Guardian Angel Police Force) Laura is sensible and mature, an older sister figure to the rest of the Chibi cast. Has blonde hair, a normal halo and feathered wings. Stands 3 ½ inches tall.

Chibi Rose: Another friend of Darke’s. A Chibi version of Rose (see below) Rose is quite girly and likes cute things. Has short white hair with a blue bow, normal halo, feathered wings, stands 3 ½ inches tall.

Chibi Luna: A cyber angel created by Darke, a Chibi version of Luna (see below). Luna is also kinda girly and also quite inquisitive. Has long grey hair in two pigtails, with a cyber halo, mark 82 anti gravity wings and a host of USB ports, Ethernet connections and other computer gadgetry. Stands 3 ½ inches tall.

Also: Rachel, Jen and Faye (see above).

Finally we come to the last world on our tour. This isn’t a world like the others, in that there is no story here, Instead this is the world of the creators. This is where the line between fiction and reality begin to blur. This…is the world of Mista P! This group of people have many adventures of their own yet these are never chronicled. They are:

Midori: Green hair, green eyes. Wears glasses and a beret. Quiet and intelligent. She is the personification of my laptop computer and is worked really hard. Responsible for the storage and cataloguing all the important data required for maintaining many of these worlds.

Tessa: also appears in “Unfinished Business” (see above). However, her main job is being my Muse. The one who gives me all the ideas and inspiration. Frequently blamed for the amount of unfinished ideas left lying around the place that I don’t have the time to pursue. Doesn’t get enough credit for her efforts, to which I am sorry. Has a lot of sass.

Luna: Long silver hair. Amber eyes. Hard dedicated worker. My baby. Luna is the personification of my Honda SCV100 Lead motor scooter. Half sisters with Laura. Occasionally temperamental, but mostly fun loving and carefree. Is skilled on the roads.

Laura: Also appears in my Earth Angels series and chibified in my Chibi Darke comics. The characterisation of my guardian Angel. Sensible, Mature, yet always willing to help out if you ask. Has wavy blonde hair, and a halo.

Rose and Shadow: Twins, one the personification of my good side, the light in my soul, the other the personification of my bad, the raging darkness. Occasionally seen as separate entities but more often then not seen as part of Mista P! manifested in his wings. Shadow materialises from his right wing, a dark demonic bat-like wing. Rose appears from the left wing, a more traditional angel-like wing. Shadow is hatred, anger, jealousy, sloth, greed and lust. Rose is kindness, happiness, hope, charity, serenity and Love. But as light cannot exist without darkness, and vice versa, then so do Shadow and Rose both have qualities opposite their represented sides. Rose can be sadness and regret. And Shadow can be tenacity and survival.
Rose is pale white skinned and has short white hair with a bow, large blue eyes. Shadow is jet black skinned and has short spiky white hair with narrow red eyes.

Kayleigh: Tall with long brown hair. Sharp Tongued and quick witted. My critic. The little voice in my head telling me that I could do better, or to stop wasting paper, or to do it again if it looks wrong. The bane of my existence, and yet necessary for my development as an artist, as an author, as a person. The anima to my animus. The Yin to my Yang. The reflection of my soul.

Mista P!/Darkeangel: It is not sure whether these two are the same or two entirely different people who combined make the person typing this. They are my ideal selves.
Mista P! is the artist/author. Short brown hair, often characterised by sleeveless t-shirts, bandana, beard stubble, black halo and the manifestation of Rose and Shadow. The creator of all written in my report. The fabric of this fictional Universe’s existence.
Darke Angel is my online persona that occasionally spills out into reality. Looks the same as Mista P! but instead has black steel wings and characterised by full length leather jacket in addition to bandana, stubble and black halo..
D.A and M.P are often at conflict with one another, internet versus artistry. And yet they also co-operate with one another, one publishing the work of the other, and getting recognition in return. Both are an integral part of who I am as a person.

* * *

And that is the Universe that exists inside my head. A universe that started with one series and four characters, now something considerably larger. And could very possibly keep on growing.
I would like to thank you for your time and patience with this tour of my mind. And thank you for sharing with me my realms of fantasy. If just one person other then myself draws enjoyment from the existence of any of these worlds detailed in this report, then my job has been worthwhile.

Until next time my friends.
