THE NEWBIE!!!!

hi..

[Pirate Bear]

*pounce the newbie!*





Okay, so I only have like 5 more posts than you do. It's a start. You don't want the heavyweights to tackle you immediately. Best to start off slowly.

EDIT: Okay, forget that. Crazeyal beat me to the punch. hehe

Hi.. I'm Crazeyal,

Resident perv (and with THIS crowd, THAT'S SAYIN SOMETHIN!!!) and sometime writer/roleplayer/gamer. There's plenty to do here and a few resident havenolives who post about 40 - 50 times a day if not much MUCH more (nonsense threads and competitions etc)

Mostly it's just "have some fun.. whatever" and uh.. be nice please... We have only had one or two internet idiots over the last few years, and they got bored and left.

[garfalk]

i didn't leave
yea, i did just call myself an idiot.

go me.

[Crazeyal]

Plus ca change, etc.

Would anyone mind if I made a short (maybe 12 frame) BD about this thread? It just fits so perfectly into the philosophy of "plus ca change, plus c'est le meme chose" (rough English translations - "the more things change, the more they become the same" or, ever rougher. "history repeats itself".

The answer in my case is "of course. In the 70s, your concern was the social norms of your society, not the artificial laws of a nanny state".

The social norm I was most concerned about was my girlie's father, who was a crack shot at both pistol and rifle. He thought I was OK, and that was all that mattered. (The reasons *why* would take a much longer post, but have to do with adolescent white girls in a Muslim country needing a male guardian at all times.)

A lot of my BD ideas have been triggered by reading Jennie. The society she describes seems a lot more closed, paranoiac, and nannied than the one I grew up in. I want to remind people of the freedoms they ought to continue to enjoy.

The recent "lock the doors and don't stop for red lights" one is just one example.

I hope this isn't too political, or infringing on Jennie's rights over all ideas from what is, after all, *her* forum...

I've done 4 so far, but none inked yet. This is because I prefer drawing to inking. It gets all over my hands (I'm left handed).

Uh..

Last I checked, unless you are using her characters, it's all good with the Jenster. As far as US?!?!?Pfah.. Even MENTIONING any of us in a comic gets it's own thread and infinite bragging rights!

[Eskimo_Nell]

But I don't know what you all look like

Uh..

Jennie has seen you (well some of you), I've only seen your avatars. I'd feel uncomfortable about drawing someone who I'd never met into a strip just to use his or her words. Jennie and Karen both draw people and places pretty true to life. I think that's a good rule. All visual media involve the "willing suspension of disbelief" that allows pictures on a page to temporarily be a substitute for reality.

The only way I'd draw someone I hadn't met would be in a stereotyped talking heads situation, to maintain dialogue between frames where things happen. E.g.,

Frame 1: Urban scene
Generic female (rear 3/4 view): Oh Crazeyal! I never thought I'd see you again
(tears trousers off Crazeyal, elderly spinsters look on)
Bubble 1: WTF? (appropriate facial distress)

Frame 2: Same
Generic female (same pose) : At the con: BOLD: oh you promised! (tears) (reaches toward exposed underwear)
Background: gathering police cars

Frame 3: Big smiles all round (generic female revealed as Jennie): all face camera: yes, he's still wearing the princess button next to the skin!

Obviously, that would be fanart *between* Jennie episodes, but until I've written a single frame, that's all I *can* pre-suppose, right?

Bright Idea: I know Jennie doesn't smoke, but how about if I put up a DevilJennie pic, pretty much the way she draws DevilJennie, with a Punch Mini on a loooong cigar holder?

OOO, being in another comic would be cool!
I used to have a few of myself in an online comic called WTF Vikings day off but the sites gone and I dont have any saved
Hey, if you want to draw people "true to life" then why not get the people your going to include to post some photos? I like to foce people to look at my ugly mug > and im on myspace so its not like I fear having pics of me in public with my name attatched, Im so offensive people would know who I was anyways!
