Some Weird Thing I’m Posting For Some Reason
So I’m not just gonna throw this out there and not mention what alternative projects I have in mind. I’ve been running DnD in my own custom setting since earlier this year and that world has been great to work with.
Here’s a link to the doc I gave out for my players at the start, (with a few alterations for updated lore since pre-launch).
And I’ve always had “Artemis and Zeb” on the back burner, my Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy / Invader Zim inspired paranormal comedy series.
And look… I know all of this is weird but… when I say “shelve” I do mean to say that I am not, nor will I ever be “done” with Suppression.
At the second of writing this post I’m thinking I’ll do “pilot” comics at the very least. Show what I have in mind. Even if it ends up as pure filler content it’ll be good practice.
Ah, I mean if my productions have been any indication, I am indeed with Suppression for the long haul- but I can’t blame you for wanting to shelve it for the time being. I’m sure I’d read anything else you come up with in the meantime.
Also, I remember Artemis and Zeb! …Which means I have trawled way too far back on your DA account. XD
Artemis and Zeb goes back even further than the DA days. That shit was pure high school graph paper comics. When I say it was inspired by Zim, I mean the very first Artemis and Zeb comic was drawn the day after Invader Zim premiered.
I’m not sure what my next move will be. I’ve been struggling to find the time to make any move at all. Which puts me in a better place than some. I’ve been watching my internet friends be driven mad with cabin fever.
The world is gonna be different on the other side of this. And I don’t doubt that’s gonna be reflected in my work in some way I can’t yet predict.
Hey by all means, focus on IRL right now. I’ve been taking this no-work opportunity to develop my own personal projects (including an animation that’s coming up on it’s “one whole year late” anniversary) and make a lot of art for other people, but I know not everyone is like that. It’s a big schedule mix up for everyone, whether it means more or less work. Do what you need to do to survive, yanno?
I like your work, real life isn’t going to change that. the implications with necromancy in the old version is some of the most terrifying things i have ever heard, if that doesn’t scare me away, you are probably going to have to try deliberately
I’ll keep it in mind that none of you are scared off by my topically inappropriate stuff. Hearing that puts me at ease even if I’m not personally ready to dive into that side of the setting right now.
now that i think about it does necromancy work the same in this timeline? now necromancers seem to be just another profession. that doesn’t seem like something that could really happen no matter how nice and friendly they are if making undead lobotomizes a soul or otherwise fucks up a soul for eternity
Well, I’m personally alright with reading about ‘fantasy plagues’ while in the middle of quarantine. I already know that you arn’t doing it as some sort of commentary in bad taste or whatever, so I wouldn’t be phased.
But if you feel uncomfortable writing, by all means, take a break. I’ve sat through many a Hiatus from different authors. Whenever you’re ready to start back up, I’ll be here. Just stay safe, don’t lick doorknobs.
I know I wanna create things. Right now I’ve had to put a good deal of that toward DnD, which that setting has me excited as a project with a lot of potential for other stories.
But at the same time I still wanna have things to show around here… and that means learning Blender. I guess I should get back to that instead of stressing about what to do with it once I do. I’ve been struggling to find the time, which seems so odd to say while most people are so bored these days.
Do what makes you happy and helps you get through this. I can understand not wanting to tell this story right now. I’ll probably keep an eye on anything you put out. I really like the worlds you build at least from what I’ve seen of this one and the D&D document. Best of luck to you and yours in these frightful times.
hanging in there?
Yeah. I should have another news post out soon. I’m still trying to decide what my next move is for art, but I’m doing alright.
