New comic

1 min read

So, I promised a journal explaining everything about my new comic. I was working on a comic named Atomica but sadly, the friend who helped me create that character all those years ago has passed away. I didn't get full permission to do a comic about this character. Yes she's technically mine but he also worked on her and he influenced a lot of this character so I figured it was only fair to get permission from him. But he passed away before I could. Now, I'm doing a new comic based around a modern day Van Helsing that protects both the normal world and the magical world. The magical world is full of monsters and everything else I can think of from the fairy-tales. I'm really excited to do this comic and can't wait to flesh it out more and show you more of the characters in this world I'm creating!

Betcha thought I was dead, huh? Nope I've just been neglecting this account. Kinda like how I've neglected my Neopets account(RIP Nymphadora). So a couple things:
I'm still in school
I'm still pursing animation
I'm still working on a comic book but I just can't settle on an idea
And now, for the first time ever, my commissions are open! *applause breaks out*

I will submit some of my more recent work shortly but I just wanted to get this out there.

To the people who still follow me. Thank you, it means a lot, really.

Alrighty, been a very long time. This past year has been insane. I graduated high school and got accepted into The Art Institutes, then they shut down and I had to transfer to another school. I'm currently going for my Bachelor's in Visual Development at The Academy of Art University, I'll be doing online courses like I did in high school as I can't move to San Francisco(but would love to). I start classes in June :) Anyway I actually thought about just deleting this account because I wasn't doing anything with it but then I thought why not just keep it and post my work that I do while in school. I'll still do personal projects like comics(I'm actually working on one right now) but I would love to show you guys my progress. And I would love to say thank you for all the birthday wishes, sorry I didn't get to you personally about them. Also thank you to everyone that stuck around watching my account, you didn't have to and to be honest you probably just forgot about as I almost faded into oblivion but hey you still stuck around.

I hate to leave this on a very somber note but I might not put anything up for another while as I am currently grieving my cat who I have had for 14 years. I not only raised her but grew up with her as well. I'm taking it very hard as I never really ever came to terms with her never being in my life, it just hit me like a ton of bricks that I'll continue going without her. Once I'm in a better mindset I'll start drawing again, I really want to show you guys how far I've come.

Thanks for reading my babbling nonsense and I love ya guysHeart

So as I put out yesterday I said that I would make a part 2 of the making of my comic Goddess and seeing as how I'm about to get off my laptop and try to finish some pages for it I figured why not do part 2 real fast.
Okay, so the actual main characters include three people, Alexandria Quille(I'm currently drawing her), and Zachary and Natalie Thatcher. After the first issue is done and out for everyone to see, the rest of the issues will revolve around those three characters as well as the two goddess's and the two phoenix's. It will more than likely revolve around Alexandria and Natalie because those two actually become Atomica and Empress. How they become them will be revealed in the first and second issue. I will say who is who, Alexandria becomes Atomica and Natalie will become Empress. Like I already said then main idea is light against dark and while that is basically the idea there are two main ideas(how I have no effing clue). Alexandria is fighting to get her best friend and her boyfriends sister back. Natalie basically becomes evil since she is essentially possessed by Empress. Alex, who is also possessed but is able to control it better, has to fight Empress(Natalie) as Atomica in order to try to save her friend. During the issues we will see the light and dark armies. Alex will also fight The Dark Phoenix's army.
There's more of the plot for ya guys so now onto how I made the last three characters. I made up Alexandria Quille(the last name is from my little sister so you have her to thank for that,her name was going to be something else but I didn't like it) to be the alias for Atomica who ,as I said before, I wanted to try to basically resurrect for something. She wants to be an animator for video games and is going to college for it. I made up Natalie Thatcher because I wanted the bad guy to be more personal for Alex. I wanted her to hate what happened to her best friend. I didn't want what happens to Natalie happen to a complete stranger to Alex. I wanted her to feel bad whenever she hit Empress. She is Zach's little sister. She also tends to steal quite a lot. I've actually had a guy named Zachary Thatcher on a back-burner for a little while now, I've just needed a good enough idea to use him and I wanted Alex to have a partner and I thought Zach would make a great addition to the characters. He wants to be a paramedic and is going to school for it.
So that's the basic universe of Goddess, it'll probably expand as I do more issues and think of more stuff for it.

Yeah it's that time again, I'm bored and I want to write this down before I forget what I want to say.
So I've noticed that I haven't exactly explained what Goddess is about or how I thought of it. It's just been little updates here and there. To tell the truth I have no idea how I exactly came up with the idea of Goddess(like all of my ideas), I do remember that I was falling asleep one night and the thought just burst into my head(it literally took me like an hour to fall asleep because I was already going over the plot and who the characters where going to be) thankfully I remembered about it when I woke up. I think that was about a year ago, as you guys know I was also came out with an idea for another comic called Sorceress. Well Goddess was my very first idea for a comic but once I actually sat down and tried to take down notes about it I realized that I didn't really have any ideas for it. Then Sorceress came to me and I thought I had that thought out pretty well(I actually don't Sweating a little... ). Then my main computer stopped working and I lost all of my brushes so I had to put that on hold. So up until about, and I'm just guessing here, two months ago I thought that I was going to do Sorceress but I wanted a little project for me to do and since I couldn't so Sorceress I decided to go back to Goddess. I sat down and just out of nowhere all these ideas came to me for it and not to brag or anything but they're pretty good. I actually have sketched out every main character that will be in it and will be drawing them out on the computer as well. I've even wrote down little notes and bios for some of the characters. But as to what inspired me to come up with Goddess I have no idea, I've never really needed inspiration to come up with something I can just do it right then and there(it comes in handy quite a lot).
Now I don't want you guys to think that I'm just jumping into this comic willy-nilly and haven't thought of a plot to it. I actually wrote a back story to it and the first issue is going to be the origin of Goddess. It'll be about how the two Goddess's(there's two and I'll get to them in a sec) were made and about their history. The main plot is basically about light and dark fighting and how they made their champions to fight for them. I came up with that because there is evil(dark) in the world and there is good(light) in the world as well, a tale as old as time really but I think it's a good plot. Now in the comic I actually made the two figures that represent the light side and dark side(so original I know=P (Razz) ), the light side I have The Phoenix representing it, she can turn into a phoenix as well as a human. For the dark side I have The Dark Phoenix(again so original when it comes to names) representing it, she can basically do whatever The Phoenix can do except, you know, she's evil. There is a reason why I have phoenix's representing the light and dark side, one of the goddess's is named Atomica, my friend made her up for me when we were little and boy has she gone through a lot of changes. I've actually been looking for a reason to use her for something so I thought why not make her a goddess? There was only one problem, she controlled fire and I actually wanted the dark sides goddess to control fire so I had to rethink a couple things to make this work. And then came the problem as to where the hell did the come from? Oh I know! I'll just say that these two phoenix's that represent light and dark made them. The other goddess is actually a villain that I made up. She was originally the dark side of Atomica so I thought that she was perfect for the other goddess, her name is Empress(I thought of her when I was like 12 so give me a break with her name okay?) and she has the same powers as Atomica.
I don't want to delve to deep into the story because I am working on the first issue ,and it is going well, and I don't want to give away to much. This is a two part journal and the second part will be up sometime and it will be about the other characters.
