first off, happy 4th of july to all my fellow americans! (and to anyone else that may care)...

secondly, i've been hom for a week now, and have made absolutely zero progress in re-starting my project. i think i may need to work on other things for a little while and detox or something.

so to start off that process, i've diddled around and made a few icons, which are hiding under the cut and free to anyone as long as i'm given credit :)

behold!

I'm heading back home. We may still work on the project via emails and scans and the occasional strained phone call. I find myself both relieved (for getting the hell out of here and back to friends, family, and people who don't treat me like shit all the time and then get made at me for reacting negatively to the treatment),and also disappointed for not being able to stick it out till the end of the project.

Though, as I said, we may still finish it....from far FAR away from each other. Cuz apparently he thinks this is all my fault just as much as I feel it's his. *rolls eyes*

His dad was really nice about it though. He still payed me for the time I put in and didn't yell at me or anything (this whole thing ended cuz Casey and I argued in the kitchen and when I yelled "fuck you" after bringing up that Casey told me to kill myself, his dad said "that's it, this is over") so yeah. Actually both of his parents are really cool people. I'll be sad to not see them anymore.

Sigh. Oh well. I did the best I could, and I guess that's all you can do.

I'm packing up the car to drive the 5 hours back home. Just thought I'd tell everybody.

*hugs*

so, casey told me yesterday that he was going to condense my story down to finish the script in time. makes sense, especially since the first chapter ended up at about 40 pages. he said he already had an outline for it, but was afraid i'd be a "raging bitch" if he just went ahead and did it, so he was asking me to make my own condensed outline too.

nicest thing he's done for me since i got here. i thanked him, and started on it today. i gave him a call and left a voicemail asking if he wanted to discuss out two outlines and combine them in person or if i should just email mine to him and talk it over on monday. he called back and told me to "cease and desist" and to just draw and that he was just going to do it how he wanted it. when i asked why and wanted to know what made him change his mind and what made him think it was okay to just go ahead and do that he started yelling and telling me i was crazy and overreacting and to just shut up and get back to work. he hung up on me.

i texted him and told him to treat others as he'd like to be treated. he texted me back and was like "i'm just condesnsing it, it'll still be true to your story but i don't want you to screw it up". what a dick! like i could screw up my own story for one thing, and for another thing, and i texted him and asked why he'd asked me to make an outline in the first place. apparently it was just to placate me, so i got mad and told him it was like he thought my opinion didn't matter, he said it didn't so shut up and draw, i got pissed, he called me an unreasonable bitch for *being* pissed, and it was just all around frustrating and painful.

all i'd wanted to do was combine our outlines and make some compromises so we could get through this thing. my shortened version leaves us with 6 chapters instead of 10, and all he'd really have to change is how *long* some of the sequences are. but he wants it down to 4 chapters and actually told me he *does* want to change some things. some i liked and thought were fine and some i didn't, but when i tried to tell him so, he just latched onto the negative, blew it out of proportion, and hung up and said i was uncompromising. which is fucking stupid cuz he wouldn't even let me finish. he does that to me ALL THE TIME. i start a sentence, he takes the first half of it and then throws it waaaaay out into left field and bases his argument on *that*.

oh, and he also told me today that i should put a gun in my mouth. yet he's also telling me i'm unreasonable, and unprofessional. right. yeah. telling your co-worker to kill themselves, or at least maim themselves is totally mature, professional, and not an overreaction to a re-wrtie on an outline at all.

god, what a total dick.

*lights 15th cigarette of the day*

so here i am still drawing this story, trying to finish a 40-page first chapter in a week and a half - started not this past friday but the one before (i have 25 pages of mostly-cleaned-up pencils so far, but i also have to ink and color) and this guy and his dad want me to have this thing DONE by Wednesday. it's fucking absolutely impossible, i don't care if you're jim fucking lee, it can't be done. i don't know what to do.

*flail*

Fuck my life.



(on a completely unrelated note, regina spektor's new album is quite good)

Casey (the guy I'm working on the comic with, and that should set this right up) just told me that he's a big fan of double standards. I said, "You mean being a hypocrite?" and he was like, "Whatever you wanna call it."

GOD that pisses me off. I only have a few things that'll get me riled up *every* time, and hypocrocy is *right* at the top of that list. UGH! Being a hypocrite (and especially being proud of it) is no more than a sign of immaturity, selfishness, ignorance, and an over-inflated ego.

This guy makes me wanna pull my hair out sometimes! Oh, and since I posted about him once on here, now he's always like "are you on livejournal?"

So now he's all pissed that I'm on here, even though i was up and working before he was. Aaaand, I told him I wasn't alone in thinking he was a total dick and read him some of the comments from my last post about him, and he called just about all of you wonderful people who sent me virtual support bitches, idiots, or cunts.

Awesome.

What a fucking chode.

Today we lost both Farrah Fawcett (sp?) and king of pop and child molestation charges, Michael Jackson.

Too strange! Farrah had been battling cancer for 3 years, and was 62 when she died in a hospital this morning.

Michael Jackson suddenly went into cardiac arrest an hour or so ago and was pronounced dead after being at the hospital a while.

So strange that we lost both on the same day! And that all the tributes and such to Farrah stopped and were totally overshadowed by the Michael Jackson story.

Craziness.

Morning, all. Well, it's morning here. 7:20 am.

I was up late working on the project last night, and all is....okay-ish.

Thanks to those who responded to my last post for your support. Things have been rather rough around here.

As to be expected, about 10 minutes after I got up, I could hear my associate screaming Goddammit! Fuck! from upstairs (I crashed at his place in a spare room last night cuz my car's not here). He seems to be in a very bad mood. Apparently is because he's quite tired and that's not how the universe should work or something. I'll tell you I'm not a morning person at *all* and I was up just as late as he was...but fine, whatever. I guess I can suck it up better.

So yeah, I'm gonna finish my first Pepsi and cigarette of the day and get cracking on the book once again.

Take care, all!

*yawn*

okay, so i have a question for everyone. be *creative* with your answer!

in addition to doing my graphic novel, i'm throwing together a superhero team of a bunch of misfits and assholes. one of the characters is based on a silly comment a friend of mine made (long story) but it's a little too....blatant (?) for what i want.

so, i need name suggestions for this guy who's basically a flamingly gay zorro (originally aptly named "faggot zorro") and he can swordfight and all that, but isn't really a great superhero.

but yeah, i need a clever, funny, and perhaps sublty (or not so sublty) sexual/indicitive of homosexuality name for him.

he'll be joining teammates by equally goofy backgrounds and names, including Naked Thunder (a mute streaker in boots an goggles that lives in the closet at their headquarters and whose only power is distraction).

all characters belong to Working Title Comics Inc., but you of course get credit for the name. And could...maybe be his sidekick or something? We'll work it out, i'll give credit where it's due, i swear :)

help!

i love you all.

i'm starting a comic company, apparently, with my co-creator i'm working on the graphic novel with...

so, for the sake of staking our claim on our name:





brought to you by: Working Title Comics Inc.

boo-yah!

that's all for now...

much love.

it's been a while since i've done one of these!

there's still a lot i want to post that won't be in here, because the scanner at my dad's house is really tiny and the stuff not in here is just too big to bother to try and scan in pieces and such.

But yeah, here's some art!

today something awesome happened.

i'm going to be working on a graphic novel, as co-creator, with a really nice writer who just emailed me out of the blue cuz he liked my work, and I'm so excited cuz it's gonna be my first published work and that's made of epic win! we talked it all over on the phone today and i am SO FUCKING pumped!

and i'm going to be signing a non-disclosure agreement, so i can't tell you a thing about the story or show you any of the artwork till it's done. which is sad, but makes perfect sense.....but yay!!!!!

also, aravistarkheena wrote me this lovely, sexy fic: http://aravistarkheena.livejournal.com/502657.html#cutid1 Thank you, my dear!!!

that is all.

*love*

Hey all!

Happy (slightly belated) Easter!

I hope the Zombie Jesus and Giant Egg-laying Bunny brought you lots of sweet lovely surprises!

In other news, I'm craving some fic. And in exchange for anyone who answers any of these requests, I'll do a piece of artwork for it, or of anything you like :)

Here's what I have in mind (and it's not all my usual taste - I'm just in a mood):

- Batman/Superman
Bruce somehow gains superpowers (temporarily) and Clark has to reign him in...and they have lots of sex. :P

- Batman/Batgirl (Cass Cain)
I'm not sure how to set this up, but back before Cass was a "bad guy" for a while and she was idolizing Bruce (mostly near the beginning of her series, and once she goes to Bludhaven with Tim) I just have all kinds of alarms going off in my head during her scenes with Bruce saying that they needed some Bat on Bat lovin'

- Malcolm Reynolds/River Tam
Post BDM, if you please. I'm so into the idea of them as a couple, even though a lot of people totally dont' get it. But, I mean, I think if/when mal and Inara do anything, I think it'll come down to her not wanting to give up her career and Mal not being cool with that, and them just burning off their sexual tension and then having nothing left to talk about. And I love that at the end of Serenity, Mal and River are the only two left standing...So yeah, if anyone can figure out what to do with that, it would make me really happy

Okay then, I guess that's it. I'm gonna go now.

I love you all!

i've decided to post some songs (just lists, not the actual files cuz i'm lazy) that i have on playlists for certain characters. i've included lyrics for a few as well. just for fun. i dunno.
