Sup, my peeps. I plan on doing a Homestuck livestream tomorrow at 9:30 EST time. ((Sorry if that's too late for you! I have classes literally all day, and that's the only time I'm free.))

If you have to miss it, don't fret. I have another planned for Thursday afternoon.

Just a shout out to all new watchers and everyone who has been favorite'in my art! I'd love to go through and thank you all individually, but it's gotten to the point where that is a ridiculous option, and, alas, I am but a lazy ginger.

However, y'all know how I absolutely adore making friends ((Actually, you probably don't since we are just meeting now...? SURPRISE, NOW YOU KNOW AND KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE)), so I'd love to get to know some of you new people better!

COMMENT HERE AND LETS START A BROMANCE

So, went to see Deathly Hallows last night.

I just..can't even...words...can't explain. It was crazy good. I cried like four times in (including four minutes into the movie. God dammit.)

Also, there was a super neato animated sequence! Good job WB.


There were some parts I felt should have been left in, but...ehhh...Talk to me about it once y'all see the movie!

OF BIRTH.


Sup, it's my birthday, bro.

Not much more to update.
Except now I'm legal and can sleep freely with you all without you getting arrested!

Unless you're younger than me.
Than I am the rapist, in this scenario.

'Sup, gang? Just a little update:
Not dead. Just totally busy with college shenanigans.
Now, I know I have a gigantic butt-load of requests to get to, and I haven't forgotten that! I promise I'll get to them soon.

Okay, so, the real reason for this update was to talk about Aw, Rats! I've got a crazy amount of traditional comics on hand just begging to be scanned. However, I lack a scanner to do so! Augh and a half, amirite?  Anyways, I have an equally as crazy amount of thumbnail comics to digitally draw I just haven't gotten to them yet. The reason I bring this up is because I want to hear from the good old people who read that crud. Namely you! I want to know what characters you'd like to see more of. I basically have two characters in mind when I make one of the comics (Usually it's Hank and Ted, Hank and anyone, Leslie and Henson, Jimmy and Rutabaga, Henry and Pennington, etc...) and I feel I'm neglecting a hecka lot of other cool characters. SO who would you like to star in the comics more? Any crazy character combos you want to see together? I mean, they all are connected to each other in some strange way like she knows him and he knows her cousin and he knows her sister's brother's priest, yanno? But that means that they all don't know, know each other so you won't be seeing, say, Mr. Aypil and Noah in a strip together. But! It would be a totally cool experiment trying to find a way to fit those two together, and why they would be together in the first place, ya dig? So any two characters you'd like to see interact?
Sorry if most of that made no sense at all, I'm living on coffee and coffee alone at the moment, and can't seem to talk all proper-like and junk. In case you've forgotten all the characters, and their names, they're featured here.


Anyways, wish I had a subscription, it would make this "poll" so much easier.
Oh, also, my birthday is Wednesday! Whoopity whoop

I was thinking of making a new dA for my professional pieces and stuff...

I'll still update here with silliness and everything, but have another one to keep all my nice, finished, sparkleyyay things.

Would that be alright?



[Edit]

I decided without you, :iconknickknackpattywhack: .
  • Mood: Tired
Hey, look, things that Cat someday wants to own.










I don't expect any of you to randomly buy any of these and send them to me, I just always see links to peoples Amazon Wishlists on dA, and thought it was a neat way to see what people like and want and junk. SO HERE. Look and see the lameness that is me.
  • Mood: Tired
Hello, friends.
While I was making a list of things that inspired me (I tend to do this when I need inspiration, rather than going and looking at the things that are supposed to do the inspiring) I was curious what exactly inspires you?

Also, I was looking for some good new comics to get me in the mood. The mood for COMIC MAKING. Not any other mood, sillies.

So what inspires you guys? What comics inspire you/do you think I'd like?



On another note, I bought some pretty neat stuff recently. Like, the complete BONE series in one volume! (yesyesyeysyesYES) And a super vintage Bert puppet! I want to get him an equally-as-vintage matching Ernie puppet. Also, some neat clothes, a cowboy hat and an old Polaroid camera.

So, some of you may or may not be aware that my laptop is broken. AGAIN. Fancy that.
However, this isn't a journal made for me to complain to you all about my woes and anger, this is a journal to tell you some good news!

Remember how I lost half of my Nina and the Boogeyman script? Well, luckily, I was able to move the half of the script that was left onto a more stable computer and work on it whenever I had some down time.

And yesturday (while I was sitting by myself, filled with dread over the oral surgery that was going to be performed on me today, which went perfectly well!) a miraculous thing happened. I found myself typing the final page of Nina and the Boogeyman.

My mind and heart were in it, of course, but for some reason it just came as a shock the moment I typed "THE END". Like...it's over? I finally finished it? Well, to say the least, yes. It is over. But it's only the end of the script, and with this end a new beginning opens. And that beginning is the actual comic!

So, today, after my surgery, I sat in my room with my mouth full of blood and started fleshing out the storyboards. I'm super motivated guys, and plan to start the actual comic right away! Well, once I get at least 50 of the pages storyboard'd. Which is quite simple and shouldn't take that long.

Wish me luck, guys! Ooh, and if you have or do belong to the Boogeyman Group I beg of you to please write a simple character overview and a simple character ref (With colors, please!) for the comic! It doesn't matter if you're inactive, left the group, whatever! Your characters will still appear in the comic at some point or another. Some will have major roles, some not so major; but they will all be there all the same. If you'd like to look into making a character for the comic please read the rules, here. (That outline is somewhat outdated, so I might end up just typing a better, more in-depth outline.) You don't have to join the Tegaki E group to have your boogey in the comic, just draw a colored picture and write a nice little paragraph about said boogey and send it to me. If you have any questions don't hesitate to note or comment me.

You may ask me, how are you going to get any newly created Boogies into the comic? Easy enough, I'll squeeze something around them. Like, a simple side conversation, a visit to their shop. Something a long those lines. I'll tell you now, that the Boogies that play the most major roles out of the group are Vin, Twist, Zaga, Dimitry, Oogie and Biro. They're basically the (mostly) active Boogey-Veterans. If a new interesting Boogie is created, who seems like they could play a good major/semi-major role, I can always work the script around them.

Now, I know that this is a little far in advance, but I'm also starting to flesh out an idea for a second Nina and the Boogeyman comic (The sequal will not necessarily be titled that). I know, I know, I haven't even started with the first NatB pages yet! But it took me almost eight years to get NatB fleshed out in my mind so I might as well get cooking!



So, now that that's all done and said, who's exciteddd?
  • Mood: Mesmerized
Well, now. Hullo, guys!

Okay, so, I just wanted to update that my "20 Questions with Cat" will be up soon! I finished editing it last night, and plan on putting it up sometime tonight.

Also, in other news, I accidentally cut my bangs too short. They were getting too long and crazy, and I made a quick decision to just cut them before running out the door. I cut them far too short, to say the least. Which raises the question: I have friends who are in/graduated from beauty school. Why didn't I just get one of THEM to do it? Augh. Oh well. They'll grow back within a few weeks.
