I'm thinking about trying to put together another self-published book before I leave for Japans. I'm gonna try either Kickstarter or Indiegogo since friends have had good deals with both of them, esp Molly, Holy SHIT girl! U SO POPULAR

Oooooh, I'd love to read a pilot comic! *_________* I mean, I adore your pinups but your character designs and comics are really amazing and I LOVE the sound of that.

Comic!

Um, but whatever you do, I'll help you! I definitely know more people now who will help pimp out a kickstarter page or something!

[junemermaid]

And you know I'd loooooooove your help! Fawn said she'd come on board for design and if you come on board for pimping I'll have the DREAM TEAM :D

[diavana]

FAWN & DAWN! We are your little sidekicks and we live in your pockets!

[junemermaid]

You're both tiny enough to! Maybe I can get carrier for you like toy dogs? Would you like a tiara too? No wait, why did I ask, I know the answer to that.

OH MAN, no idea, dude, sorry. I'm not really your target audience probably. D: (ie, I'm not into really dark themes) but I'll be interested in seeing what you do!

[junemermaid]

Ah the comic isn't dark, it's very shounen. If you consider like, um, D.gray-man or Soul Eater to be dark then it's dark I guess but it's not like my normal stuff XD

just go ahead and title it BLOODSOAKED NUDE TORSOS XVI

although I want to see your WSJ-esque oneshot.

semi-related, a while (like a few years at least) ago you a piece of art from some story idea you had and I always hoped you'd show more but I don't think you ever did. a guy standing on a seal on the ground? he had horns... I think? it's been a while now.

A guy standing on a seal on the ground...hm...One of my ram-headed guys was sitting on the ground with some dead lady? was this it? http://www.heavy-gauge.net/junk/art/bapho_small_color_COPY.jpg
Or...um...hmmm now this is gonna bother me, do you remember saying it was from a story idea and not just a random illust? I draw a lot of horned people afterall lol

[vartan]

I think it was smaller horns, but maybe I'm misremembering the horns.
I could have sworn you mentioned it was a story idea, in my memory it looked like a promo illust or something.

I will have to go hunt and see if I saved it anywhere, or if it's on your site somewhere.

OH OK THIS GUY HURPADURP. Things on his forehead, but not horns. Unless they're really tiny horns.

Oh yeah that guy! Lol it's from a comic that I'll probably never publish because it's like, a slice of life/romance school story with shounen character designs and freakshow aliens for the love interests. Like, I don't think anyone would read it because the designs are all my normal weird/stupid designs but the story is rather slice of lifey and normal shit. Like that guy, I guess he looks interesting or like shounen-y or something but he's really only a conbini clerk who lives in a loft with no electricity because he's too damn poor to pay his bills.

It's a shame because that story and characters have been with me SOOOOO long (like the site says, middle school) that I know and love them all, and have more material and scenes than I know what to do with. But I just can't think of anyone it would interest besides me :/

If we had to choose between the ideas you wrote, my boyfriend and I would prefer the pilot comic with the sketches! Although we'd buy whatever you do. ♥ ♥ ♥
