Poor, poor Lars. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE MORE SOUP.

More soup in the picture or more soup in the story?

haius In reply to GingerOpal [2010-09-03 06:24:20 +0000 UTC]

MORE SOUP ALL AROUND!

but I was thinking in the picture, yes. I imagined a much bigger bowl for some reason.

I went back and read what I wrote and concluded that was the stupidest thing I've ever written. MY EXCUSE IS that your comment, for reasons unknown, remind me of the scene in Nacho Libre when Jack Black "baptizes" the skinny guy who "only believes in SCIENCE!" by grabbing his hair and slamming his face into a bowl of water.

Naw. I was merely going to observe that since Loknich knows everything, she could have told Fescu about Catholics and Baptists and whomever else she pleased. OR EVEN NACHO LIBRE. XD

MEMEMEMEMEMEMEME. THat's all I have to say.

I shall not steal.

Can I use your characters in a FanFic? You could help (or just say "NO!!!" but I don't want you to), or whatever you want.

If you want to write a fanfic that is okay with me! Make sure it's posted as literature so I can put it in the fanart box on my site. Just let me know what you need help with.

Go to "Submit" at the top of your webpage, then select "submit art". It will open to a new page where you have to name and upload your art. In the "Category" section select "Literature" and then click on all the appropriate subjects for what you're posting. When you get to "Which file" select "Add text" and a new window will pop up where you can type in your fanfic. (I recommend writing it down in whatever Word program you have, then copying the text and pasting it into the box, that way if DevArt gliches you won't lose what you've written. )

I hope that helped! And just for a heads up, Dahlia's name is actually Darnda. I'm going to be changing that soon on this site.

Hey! I was just wondering (because you're good with drawing and I can write)...

Would you like to Co-Publish a comic with me?

If you say yes, Thanks!
If you say no... Yes, I know, I am beneath you.

Here's a list of stuff you may want to think about...:
1. If we sell, half the proceeds go to you, half to me.
2. This is a compliment!
3. If you don't, my life (and yours) may change. It might not.

PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE say YES!!!

An extremely important rule in business: Never EVER put yourself down! It makes you look bad and turns off whoever you're wanting to do business with. You want to show that you're a confident person, but when you say things like "I'm beneath you" it gives people the impression that you don't think very highly of yourself, so why should they?

The reason I have to turn down your offer is not because I think I am better than you. Certainly not! It is for the simple reason that I am so busy right now, I am behind on personal projects and I am frantically earning money to go back to college and pay medical bills, payments that can't wait for a book to be published. Drawing comic book pages takes months of hard work that I can't afford to give right now.

BUT, if you have a great idea for a graphic novel (aka comic book) I shall certainly do what I can to help you find a way to get it illustrated and published. You don't have to have an illustrator to present an idea to a publisher! And usually the publisher finds the illustrator FOR you! My knowledge of publishing is focused more on childrens books and novels, but I do know a little about getting a graphic novel published. If you're interested let me know and I'll try to give you as much information as I can. Everyone deserves to see their dreams come true, as long as they are willing to work hard for them!

OMG! I'll take that as a yes! (And you're right; I was just feeling slighhtly depressed that I was ALONE on a Friday night. But, hey. I watched cool movies.)

Thank you!

It's chicken soup, not oatmeal, crazy person! Can't you tell by the extremely vague scribbles? (you know I'm just joking )

Actually, I really like the drapery too. I wouldn't call it...cute...but I do like it.

Actually, this is part of the next snippet. (good timing) Although it's going to be severly edited, because I don't want to post too many givaways online. Too dangerous.

If you ever find a cure for that aversion to backgrounds, let me in on it, because they're my least favorite thing to draw.

Fun sketch!
