Fan Mail

[Kitiara]

I had a lovely email today from someone, complimenting me on my drawing in that tutorial I did. Hotmail refused to let me reply to it though, so whoever sent that, thank you very much. :)

They did however say that I must be a very sensitive person - is that a chat-up line??? :P

[upuaut]

you know who's gonna get blamed for this. :)

I like the drawing as well. Even started working on my own from the tutorial. Don't know when it will be done though.

[Kitiara]

It'll be interesting to see, definitely. I'm curious to see how people interpret and build on ideas. :)

[upuaut]

I'll agree with all of that except having sent the letter. Alas.. I'm happily engaged.

As for sheer driving crazy potencial; I think that Reni is up on Kit for that Jesica Alba comment... but who's keeping score.

[Kitiara]

You wait. I'm working on an alternative to the London Angel at the moment, kind of an ego / id thing. :evil:

[upuaut]

sweet.

you got any writing done up for the characters or is it just illustrations?

They would me outrageously good still panel characters for a strip based comic.

[Kitiara]

You know, I hadn't thought of that. Just liked drawing them I guess. Always used to lose interest once I'd got the idea on paper / monitor.

Hehe, I can just see "The Adventures Of The London Angel", online comic. :)

And as a tribute to the great man, we have Elvis songs playing in the office today. I feel all inspired.

[upuaut]

With you're art, a lot of people would visit a london angel site.

For suggestions on how to get started: (even if you just go to look around it's good experience) you might want to check out

www.livingroomart.com
and
http://pub76.ezboard.com/bbellcartoonscommunity

both have lots of suggestions for people wishing to set up web comics.

[Kitiara]

Thanks, I think I'll check it out. :)

She'll need a sidekick though, and some comedy situationd to get into.

Any suggestions people? :)

[upuaut]

Well.. I think if you do come up with a situational for her, you'll need to have it apeal to British and American audiences.

You'll probebly need to come up with some background too.. like childhood stuff.. just as a ruff draft to draw ideas off of.

I'll be thinking on this in the meantime.

[Kitiara]

This is where the differences in American and British culture become aparent. :)

Like when you say 'pants', we think something quite different.

Like our 'handbag' is your 'purse', and our 'purse' is your 'pocketbook'.

Quite mad. :)

and don't forget 'fanny', not the same over here

[upuaut]

so now you're gonna have to tell me

what does pants mean in England?
