I thought you said in the not-completely-colored version that it was supposed to be a whip? <<

Excellently done, by the way. ^^

Note that I said it started out as a whip, but I fucked it up, so I improvised it into something with meaning.

Ok, POS, I listened to your song. The piano kinda drowns you out. Could we get some lyrics, or, even better, could you work on the mixing a bit so that your voice is above the piano?

You have a pretty good voice, though, and the tune is catchy. Is this song from the view of Pedro O' Sullivan?

Sorry guys; I've been having some dial-up problems and haven't been able to view anything on the comic thread for the last few days.

Flare: That looks great! I've said it before and I'll say it again, I just love how the face turned out! Coloring on the tail looks fantastic.

POS: I wish I could hear it, but still having dial-up issues that won't let me open it.

I is sad.

Fenris: Poor Skyshot. He's emotionally scarred. Probably for life. And yet... I must laugh at him. Does that make me cruel?

Don't answer that.

That makes one. Thanks!

Yeah, I noticed that. Admittedly, I kinda rushed the production to get it out as quickly as possible and that was actually about as good as I could get the vocals without them getting too distorted. My microphone is of rather poor quality, and trying to record using the power of one's computer is a bit tricky, especially with software that you're figuring out as you go.

I'm actually in the process of getting a band together and redoing the song, then passing the mixing part off to someone with a little more edumacation on the subject. Also, if I can get the guy I have in mind, he's also a damn good drummer.

Actually, it's pretty deeply from the point of view of the real, live guy typing on this side of the monitor. I'm not terribly good at opening up, and music is one of the few outlets I have that allows me to do that.

That said, I'm currently working on the song "Little Johnny Live-a-Lot", which I wrote some months back right here in the forums. As much as I like opening up and writing deeply personal songs, I also like being funny. All things in moderation.

Understandable. I'm actually planning to get some high-speed internets in my house within the next couple days, and will be uploading versions of the songs onto something other than myspace, as I have become aware that streaming audio can be a crapshoot for some people. I'll also put the lyrics up here for you guys that want to know what I'm saying.

EDIT: Man, I really do say "actually" a lot!

Thanks Mauve. I did a little blending work on it.

I am really bored at school right now and I've got a spare. :gonk: Crazy comics, you guys! I haven't had time to catch up quite yet, but still! If for some wildly absurd reason I become popular/spazzy enough to star in a comic, draw me up as a Red Mage with blue sunglasses and one of those goatee /soul patch / little chin-beard thingies.

Khael, best way to get in comics is to get sprited (either by yourself or by request [see: Arts & Crafts]) or make a comic yourself! I remember when I read through the entire Comic thread for the first time; I think I had my first comic up about a week later. XP

Mauve! Only just now saw the pic. Awesomeness! I think you're the first one to ever do RZ art. Usually when someone has a request list I don't like to add to it, but I'm glad I did this time. Imaginary Rep for you! I shall be showing this off at my ArtKlub on Thursday!

I've been working physically exhausting nine-hour days six days a week recently, and my 1 day off is always full. I don't know when I'll have the time to make a comic again...

Khael! · 09-12-2006, 11:46 PM

I've been meaning to, but I have been limited to using school computers and my PSP for my online needs. I can't access my own copy of photoshop 'cause my brother monopolizes it! The fink. Can I post a spritemap in the comic thread, or do you/mods really prefer proper comics?

I'm flattered and I'm glad you like it, but I'm not sure I feel comfortable with that, really. Nothing personal, I just kinda want to keep these things here, you know? Yeah, I'm kind of a control freak when it comes to my drawings...

Hopefully you read this before Thursday... If not, oh well.
