Well, Hello...
I just realized that I have four journals and a community that I never post on. I realized this as I pondered making another two communities for two of my other comic ideas. :| I am a sick individual. ;p Oh, and that's not counting the three RP accounts that are still sitting around being all dead(*sniffle*).
Anywho, I decided to finally start throwing all the stuff I have for one of my comic ideas up in the dusty, empty community that has been waiting patiently for it. The comic is called The Raloian Chronicles and the comm is HerColony, if anyone's interested. With Jarad and I's split I somehow managed to obtain full ownership of the story. Which is good, because he never wanted to work on it and I did, and now I can finally tweak and add to my heart's content without any form of guilt. ♥ First thing that will go up will be the character bios. ...Or at least the bare bones of them. I need to flesh them out past the physical descriptions. :P I might post up text versions of the story as I write it, too, since I'm still iffy on my art.
The other two comic ideas - which have always been solely mine and are much older - are Allysian Chronicles and This Is My Story. They both really do need new names. 8| AC was first scrapped together when I was about 13(a couple of you might remember me talking about it once upon a time) and it all started with the first sketch of a character name Ana. It was an exercise to see if I could even draw the same character more than once. ...And I did, so of course she needed to have a place in a story. ...But she didn't fit in any of the stories I had floating around already...so she got one built up around her. Not to say I don't love the little world I built, but damn it's given me such problems the past nine years. :P TIMS is...oy vey. I'm actually really reluctant to do anything with it anymore, because it involves teenage girl + vampire = quirky love story and...I just really don't want to deal with anyone thinking I'm just making another cookie-cutter Twilight clone. :| Hell, I came up with the story two whole years before the first Twilight book was published! Grrr. Anywho, TIMS grew out of my utter boredom when my step-sister and next-door-neighbor/pseudo-sister managed to somehow drag me to Homecoming with them. Urgh. The upside was an awesome dress and this wonderful necklace with a black leather strap and a blood-red stone. ...So, yes, blood-red stone led to thoughts of vampires as I sat/stood there pretty much completely bored the whole dance...and then had to sit in the hotel room they'd made me tag along to stay out at because I couldn't go within a foot of the smoke-filled "party hallway" a floor down without having an asthma attack. ._.; So, klutzy, auburn-haired girl meets gorgeous vamp guy who's fascinated with her... ¬.¬ Seriously, I think I still want to write it just for the amusement factor. I know it's cheesy now(it's been almost six years since I came up with it, hush).
AC had always been planned as a webcomic. I finally found how I wanted it to begin(thanks to either ASCIISkull or Whally...I forgot), but then I realized the ideas were all disjointed and I had a couple timeline plotholes to rearrange.
TIMS had originally been intended as text. I started it in my head as first-person, but then came up with scenes that my character could not have been present for and would likely not know occurred. I went back and read over how I'd begun it and realized that I like describing things a liiiiiittle too much, so maybe it would work better graphically. I also don't have as much invested in it as AC or TRC, so I figured I might be able to practice my comicking skills with that so that I don't make AC or TRC suck. ...But I also kind of want to start one the others too.
Then there's the fact that I don't draw nearly as often or as quickly as I used to. In high school, I drew almost daily and could finish several pictures in a day. Now...It's rare for me to finish something monthly... Then again, I now have oodles of free time that I used to waste on Jarad that I could probably make myself draw more in.
Oh, and don't even get me started on my other purely writing projects... Most of which I have made somewhat impossible by their very concept. :P
