   busy!
I've been so busy! A lot of stuff has been going on while nothing has really been happening at all. Next week I'm going to take over the management of an online rpg, so I've been busy with learning all the more technical details of that.

I finally got good markers. Not copics, but prismacolors, which are a bit cheaper, but still professional level. I like them. They don't streak much and are really easy to get the hang of, plus I can work with them more quickly than I can work digitally.

And I've started hashing out a comic idea. I think I'm finally ready to try my first comic, so "Spaced Out" is in the planning stages, though it will probably be another month or two before I sit down to start the actual scripting and drawing the pages. I want to have all the characters settled and the locations first. I'm a bit worried about drawing backgrounds, since they aren't my specialty, but I'll just have to use a lot of reference material and struggle through it until it becomes second nature.

I'm basing all the major characters on people I know, and as I think about them, I realize some people might get mad at me by saying I'm drawing stereotypical, stock characters, that their personalities are unoriginal...but these are my friends I'm basing these characters off of! I hope they don't seem boring, but I think that I know some pretty great, funny people who will create good chemistry in the context of a comic. But I guess I'll have to wait and see what people think once I've got it set.

The website for my writer's guild got deleted...again...maybe I'll start a blog instead of an actual site. Less coding for me is always good. I'm so lazy when it comes to html...
