I greeted the new year in the usual way, with a fairly large hangover. New Year's Eve was spent at home with Cláudia and Filipe. We had sushi and sake because we forgot all the stores would close early, but thanks to my mum there was a bit of champagne, and also beer, thanks to the good people at the gas station. We stayed in listening to music for

I'll help with the original if you want
I want to get some original out this year too so I'm more than happy to "spot" you on it
best advice i can give you
don't get disheartened when it goes wrong, because it will, just learn to roll with the punches
and if your entire plot hinges on Bob getting killed and the bugger ducks at the last minute - you know how the rest of us feel

also, remind me to ask you about doing a doujinshi! my usual artist says she will but then keeps dropping out, but I don't care who does it
but it aint gonna be pretty

I'll keep it in mind, thanks, will probably need it.

I had to google what a doujinshi is -_-

Let me know when/if you need something done, if I'm not completely swamped with work I won't mind at all.

a doujinshi is a fan comic

Sounds interesting, and part of me wants to jump at the chance of drawing some starships. Two things, though. Is it classic ST or the remake? I wasn't counting on watching the remake but if it is, I suppose I can also reference from screencaps. Also, it's going to depend on the deadlines - how soon you need it and how strict they are. January isn't the best month for me to be starting a new project, I need to salvage what I can from the last semester, and I'm not a quick sketcher, and I've never done a comic before. If none of that is a problem, I'd say yes, I'd love to play.

it's reboot but with a heavy sci fi horror noir twist
dead space is the major setting which is all broken, distorted, gore covered, with a healthy dose of doom (hell gore setting in spaaaaaaace!)
st/doom is common because the same actor played reaper and bones, and at the end of the doom movie he was made immortal by the same detail that made the monsters (it has some sort of waffle about genetic markers)
but the idea is that the federation has been trying for years to make it work and the whole dead space thing is one of their errors

there is NO deadline, it's meant to be fun, not forced, black and white noir with flashes of blue in the dead space style

Okay, that sounds very interesting, I'll bite. Plus, I can't pass on the opportunity of drawing Karl Urban, and I loved Doom. And if I have time to play around, this is just the kind of thing I needed.

i thought you would
if nothing else to do the whole "abandon hope ye all who enter here" art style

here are some doujinshi

the artist is like my total fave, don't get upset but it will give you an idea
some doujinshi are dire, little more than stick figures but these are very good ones
i apologise for the page, looking at the background feels like eyebleaching

Not a problem. Those look really good. It's not quite the thing I tend to do, I don't think I could do the manga look if I tried (but then again at the stage I'm at if they end up looking human at all we're in luck). Anyway, I hope I can do something that works for you, won't be for lack of trying. :)
