Okay, so I am making a yaoi/shounen-ai/boylove manga. DON'T JUDGE ME. ;-;
Help me name it, somebody! D:
And yes, it has a typically terrible and unrealistic plot with tons of things that totally never happen and I seriously don't care because I originally made up the story just to entertain myself for the eight to twelve hours that I spend alone waiting for Jeremy to get off of work every day he has it, except I do care sort of, but nobody say anything about it and just rest comfortably knowing I think it's stupid, too. Also, you know you love run-on sentences. Everybody does. Especially me.
Don't read the following if you aren't into yaoi, because...you'll be weirded out? xD
It's about a super rich Russian guy, Nikolai, who owns a successful business and also does spy-type work for the Russian government, and he comes to America every now and then to stay for a few months on business. Andandandand, he sees Cola, sexyhotcolorfulhothothot character, and is like, "I'll pay you oodles of money to be my boyfriend for a couple of months!" And Cola is like, "BEST JOB EVER." And drama and gayness and intrigue ensues, I suppose. And I guess the main drama things are that Nikolai will have to go back to Russia at the end of the two months and that while Cola is staying with him in some rich people's hotel, he's not allowed any contact with his friends or family, and also, SHUTUP DON'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT I KNOW I'M TERRIBLE, Nikolai has to have a lot of sex to improve/maintain his business. :'D
In my head, it's getting towards the end of the story (or at least, the dramatic part of the story; I suppose I could drag it on after the good part...but...bleh), but I've only drawn three pages (one of which is the cover and one of which is just a drawing of Nikolai looking all cute xD) and a little more than the underdrawing of page four.
I probably ought to write it down, as I don't really remember most of the middle of it or all of their big, character exposition conversations. Also, there's a lot of backstory that I thought up but wouldn't actually get explained as it is, and I need to figure out how to do that. But...I don't want to.
And I'm doing it in this really terrible sketchy style, just doing it really quickly in Photoshop, but I don't caaaare. I guess Planet Aeruen was a bit of inspiration to me, how even if your art isn't pristine and perfect and refined, you can still make a quality work worth reading. And even if it isn't worth reading to other people, there's satisfaction in getting it out of your head, right? I'm also doing it to get practice at angles and facial expressions, because I have trouble with them a loooooottttttttt.
BUT YES. NAME. NOW. HELP.
If you don't help me, it'll probably end up being some sort of play-on-words around Cola's name. D'X And nobody wants that.
That's basically the style the whole comic is going to be in, but greyscale. I decided not to do the defined lips like I usually like to do, since they take time to make look good and don't actually work for some reason when I draw the face from the side. In this style, I get to be sketchy and have big ugly lines and have one arm be a little longer than the other, BUT IT'S OKAY BECAUSE IT'S STYLISH OR SOMETHING. Also, NO MENTIONING HOW UNCREATIVE HIS NAME IS.
Also, Nikolai's original design was for an rp about post-apocalyptic mutants, so he originally had extra joints in his arms and legs, his eyes were flecked black and white, and he had a pet that was like a cross between a rat and a hedgehog. By the way, it is impossible to draw someone having extra joints where they shouldn't and your art not look retarded. At least, it is for me. :C
...Russians can have auburn hair, right? :'(
ALSO I HAD A DREAM THAT DUMBLEDORE CHOSE ME TO BE SCHOOL COUNCIL PRESIDENT, BUT HE KEPT CHEWING ON ME, AND I SNIPED TWO GIRLS WHO WERE TRYING TO ASSASSINATE ME AND SOME OTHER PEOPLE, EXCEPT IT TOOK ME SOOOO MANY TRIED TO HIT THEM, AND IT WAS ONE FUCKING WEIRD DREAM, AND I HAVE TO GO NOWWWWWWW.
