A Moment--
--To give a heartfelt thanks to the lot of you commissioners who've waited patiently for your pieces. As per usual, I like to give freebies to the people who wait, and I will contiue to. Otherwise, I'd like to remind you that it's appreciated, and that the breathing room is a necessary evil to the trade. Inspiration comes and goes for certain images, and if I sense that something's 'off' about a particular image, I end up trashing the entire project and starting over. Moreover, if I'm not feeling any kind of muse in terms of a certain project, it ends up coming out clumsy-- and honestly, I'd like to see everyone get their money's worth rather than have a rushed image.
This may sound like rationalization, but it's true. It's difficult to put into words how inspiration really works. I don't like that it makes people wait, but on the other hand, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the commission turn-around is little more than a couple weeks of time-- sometimes it's an ungodly stretch I'm ashamed to mention. Either way, I do my best to be certain that the lot of you get the pieces that you paid for, that you want, that you envision in your minds as perfect for your needs. It helps to constantly talk to some of you via AIM, but not everyone on my commission list also has a livejournal.
Anyway, on to some pet projects of my own.
::[Adrian Marcell]::
::[age :: 38]::
::[designation :: uncertain]::
::[species :: domestic feline (russian blue mix]::
It's difficult to write what's essentially a mob
boss without being too hokey. I know my
intentions with the character, but I've never been
certain if others see him is another typical addition
to a writer's character stable. Nonetheless, the boy
deserved a better profile image.
So he got one.
::[Attesa 'Moribund']::
::[age :: 20]::
::[designation :: fuck-up]::
::[species :: german shepherd (purebred)]::
Initially, I didn't think much of Attesa as a
character. She didn't seem to have much of a
story, or anything forthcoming. In the midst of
pencilling this piece, it became clear she had
more to her than she was initially letting on.
She will be appearing in the comic, perhaps a bit
sooner than I'd intended. While her story is
a bit like Mamoulian's relationship with the
Razor Eater... well... As for the last name, I'm
deliberating over what her real one will end
up being.
::[Charmaine D'Arcy]::
::[age :: 29]::
::[designation :: snuff queen]::
::[species :: white weasel (weaselle`?)]::
Charmaine has been itching to get bits and
pieces of her own story down on paper. Be it a
run-down of more youthful times or a sordid retelling
of more recent history, something needs to be said.
While anything including her will inevitably be given
an NC-17 label, it's still worth it to me to write it
out. With her, the why is always as interesting as
the what, in terms of what she does. A 'younger'
member of the character stable in that she arrived
in 2002. Nonetheless, she was quickly assimilated
into the growing pile...
::[L'Himby Bryant]::
::[age :: 34]::
::[designation :: police officer]::
::[species :: [i think she's a] cacomistle]::
L'himby arrived on the scene in early 1999, and
has been seen throughout my Yerf gallery ever since
I first got on there. Out of all my characters, she's
recieved the most imagery in terms of gifts and trades.
(at least upwards to 50!) Another character
that fits the 'woe' mold, she has a rather distressing
story of her own in the midst of the comic, and has
always been a more prominent member of the cast.
Eventually, I'll figure out a way to accurately
depict her story. Until then, I'm not at liberty to say
what's in store for her *heh*. As if it's of interest...
