Steampunk and Love
So... update, yeah?
Last week, I got this major plot bunny for a steampunk comic, so when I get some pages done (I'm tracing the rough sketches into simple drafts, seeing as my rough sketches were done on graph paper (GENIUS IDEA, by the way) and apparently my morale draws a line at two sheets a day, so I'm at 4/5 done right now, and then after I figure out what each character is supposed to LOOK like (besides basic body structure and facial features -- i mean, costumes, colours, accoutrements, etc., even hairdos! except for the Dread Captain Robert, lol!) I will colour them, and maybe (*LE GASP!!!* MAYBE!!!) even shade them ;) ) at any stage, if I figure out if I have a viable scanner or not, I shall scan them up and put them on deviantART (although I oughtn't because it'll ruin some plot points, but frankly, I don't give two shits -- :D I'll have artwork up!
Also?
Tony's coming to visit next-next weekend! ^-^!
SQUEE!!! I am mucho excited! *happy Snoopy dance*
Also, official clarification? Comicon panel says Artie/Claudia is SO canon so :P Fanfiction pending. Lots of lurking on facebook the last week, trying to catch a second-hand Dragon*con buzz, and I haven't done so bad with that lol. The new project is Nekocon, and I'm hoping to have a steampunk outfit finished for that. Although I really ought to watch some Rosario + Vampire to get into character for Ginei, who I'm LARPing as... >.> Ah, well. ;) it can happen.
For family night, we went to see 9 (I saw the original short movie it was based on the next day, oddly enough) and although it was really good, it was very dark. Not in a Nightmare/Sweeney Todd/Scissorhands kind of way, but a dude-this-thing-is-really-creepin'-me-out, don't take kids to see this kind of dark. Although there was an interesting input of cyberpunk vs. steampunk which I found fascinating, but I have to say that the Machine and its creations were definitely creepy. All of them. To me, anyway. But 3 and 4 were pretty gnarly :D. As was 6 -- which reminds me! I have to find out who that was... For older folks, though, I say watch it. The end is really neat; I like how they have an intelligent design explanation, which is very cool, and very awesome. Definitely something worth the money to see it.
