I officially detest my creative arts.

I decided that I hated the old idea in the end, and scrapped the entire thing. I dont think Mr Yap will notice though, so I guess for now I'm entirely safe. It was kind of a pity, but then I hate action scenes. How do you draw a scene half-way through the battle anyway? I tried, and even the retarded people Dingyi don't get it, and Mr Yap... he tried. Commendable effort too.

But yeah, nobody understood a frame.

So I'll try for something simpler. Lots of pictures, minimal narration and a less boxed-up paneling style. Lots of flowy open spaces for easy reading. The people also don't talk much.

What I am least happy was the fact I had to redesign everybody.

Xenia is completely gone, for one.
Shiroi has long hair now, and she's now like more of a semi-major character.
Katsurou... he can resume his name again.
But, because I fail at drawing guys, I gender-changed him.
I'm sure nobody will mind the change, he had a effeminate design too.
Iriel, oh yes, Iriel. He's back in the plot. As a major character.
See how much I love you Iriel, you're damned hard to draw too D<

the story is relatively simple. But it's cliched and boring:
Shiroi and Katsurou are good friends.
Shiroi and Iriel are a couple.
Katsurou likes Iriel.
She doesn't believe in snatching.
She decides to try out the urban legend:
"1000 fireflies will grant one wish."

The original was where Katsurou goes after Shiroi.
But since he has become a she, it doesn't matter.

I want a really happy ending for this story.
But I don't think I'd be able to fit the ending one the four pieces of paper.

I like that scene in my head where... the bottle smashes in the end.
There'll be fireflies flying everywhere...
Maybe they could hug too?
Nah, too cliched :D

I heard an urban legend. Much like its Japanese version.

They say if you catch 1000 fireflies, they'll grant any wish you want.

In contrast to the original Jap version (1000 paper cranes) this one obviously will only cheat people's feelings in the end.
Because unlike paper cranes, fireflies die.
And they die really really fast.

In other words, one never gets to 1000.
and one never gets the wish.

But I like the idea anyway.


I still don't like the idea of turning Katsurou into a girl D:
Iriel, Aithein, please forgive meeee~~~
m(_ _)m

I still have comic pages to rush...

What is she doing watching FFVII: Advent Children trailers?

Oh shit.

FF 13 (I think its XIII but I dunno) is out too. The trailer is awesome.
CARBUNCLE GOT A MAKEOVER SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE~~

and anyway, I swear there was this scene where Cloud was tackled off his motorbike.
I swear I saw it yesterday in that store.
But none of the trailers have it o___O
optical illusion perhaps?


chocolate cookies and macademia nut ice cream please~
o Ao~

Life has run on without me.
Again.

No I'm not really complaining.

Anyway, I finally finished reading Lolita.
It's not the kind of book people normally read.
For reasons.
It was written in the 1950s
By a Russian literature author
And it was rejected by publishers three times
One of the reasons being "If I (the publisher) published this, you and I will get arrested"

IF your mind is going into the gutter, you're almost right.
No comment.

But shit I have a ton of books I want to read now
literature books are suddenly pretty interesting.
I blame that book that assured me I'd write a novel in this year.
I mean, come on, Jeremy Eugenides really rocks.
And I really kind of want to study the idea of writing styles.
I mean, what the hell does grace in writing mean?

and I want to learn languages.
French for one, maybe do some catching up on Japanese for conversation.
Meh, D:

I don't think I'll ever get anything done.
