I've been wanting to start a thread for my stuff and my fancy schmancy livestream thing. And so here it is.the channel's at livestream.com/coneyislandartinstituteI'll post updates, new drawings, and schedule events on occasion. I also still am thinking about hosting useful video resources on the stream as well. It's definitely a hobby thing. But one that I've been enjoying quite a bit recently.
>>30721Chaptor was born of a typo.
>>30840I know. I was actually in that thread.
>>30841I was the one who made the original joke.
>>30858Were you? I don't remember seeing your name there but it HAS been a while.
>>30885I post anonymously while on /co/. So yeah, I got no proof or anything.
>>30985S'okay. I was anon EVERYWHERE back then, I have no proof either.
I'm in no way claiming I drew this, but I was really quite happy with how coloring it came out.
>>31353Saved. I have the pencils to that... somewhere.
>>31353I did draw this and I give this color job a Thumbs up!
>>31367Thanks for that... also... um... did you notice you forgot to draw in Bug's whiskers?
>>31368No! Must have slipped my mind.
>>31369heh, no worries. After spotting it and adding it in, it opened up a pretty obvious little gag opportunity I couldn't pass up.
>>31592I want you to rest and maybe ride a unicorn to your dreams.
A little late with this, but MoCCA was a lot of fun the weekend before last. Good times, good people, and caught up with old friends. And got to meet a bunch of webcomic people to boot!Kate Beaton is a nice person, but seems to be super busy at conventions. She drew me a Garfield, I was very happy.
Aaron Diaz is also a pretty cool dude, and happy to hear he was enjoying the east coast. He doodled my character and no afraid of anything.
And unrelated to MoCCA, I wanted to see if I could make a fantastical star field. I think it came out okay. It's got a neat little thing where it takes your eyes a moment to adjust to seeing the figure more clearly.
>>32279>>32280You are pretty lucky.>>32281DAT SKY
>>32281Nice work!
Man, MOCCA sounds fun, I wish I could've gone.
This led to an amazing thread tonight.
>>32927Eh. It could've been better.
>>32927
Hope Psu doesn't mind me posting this here......
>>33020S'alright by me. As long as it's not getting posted at any other gaming blog/website/competitor to the Escapist, I think we're sorta in the clear.Anycase it looks like this'll be destined to remain a "missing strip" forever.
>>33027 Ah, I was about to ask.
>>33027What happened with the Escapist thing? No new strip this week with the other Sunday guys?
>>33541My bad. Was late with the comic. Not a great feeling, to be sure.
>>33564It happens. All you can do is learn from it and move on, really.
thanks for the Desire and Larfleeze in Vegas strip, pseudonym.
Here's the story I wrote with those pics you posted. I really enjoyed writing it, coming up with the story and the characters, playing around with the narrative, all that. It was excellent practise. Thanks for the chance! Hope you enjoy it!http://www.mediafire.com/?ynmfmlwnvm4
>>33691Enjoyed would be an understatement. This may seem silly, but I was near tears.You know that story that everyone has? The one they've been writing in the back of their minds since they were a child? The one that they forget about from time to time but it comes up every now and then in nostalgic moments. This story is that one for me. I have a hard time forgetting stories or projects, and this one especially so. It has morphed on occasion, and formed a basis for other stories that have come and gone, but the core is still these two.I've drawn them and various scenes in different costumes and settings more times than I can count. You'll even see a few of them earlier in this thread. Only in recent years has this daydream story been finding more solid footing. Key images, settings, and concepts are coming together and maybe I'm just that much closer to sharing the actual thing.That you've managed to put to prose some of those exact feelings and scenes without much more than a few doodles was exciting on its own. But then it was also your own, yet some of mine too. I was a fresh reader again to characters I know so well. And when she died in another person's story, well... from one writer to another... I'm having a bit of trouble writing down exactly what that feels like.tl;dr I'm stealing Rockson.
>>33698Well, I... I... Oh my. I didn't expect...Well, I guess that in some level I knew this was a pet project of yours, the kind of thing you come up with one day and never truly goes away, so I tried to build everything around the pictures. Not just the characters but also the setting, and how they are interconnected. "There's a city, it's a very beautiful city, she probably lives in the city, it's under siege, but back then it wasn't, I know it was back then because she was younger, she was with someone, who was that", and so on. That I managed to write something that ended up feeling so familiar and so fresh at the same time, in my opinion, says more about your art than about my writing.After coming up with the main themes, the rest was as easy as it was enjoyable. The narrative was particularly fun. I tried to come up with some twists here and there, like how the main character only speaks in flashbacks and at the very end, as if all she had learnt and heard was leading to that point. Dialogue is something I'd like to believe I'm pretty good at (unlike descriptions). Finding a character's voice and sticking to it is both challenging and interesting, and again, if I found the right voice for the cast, it's all thanks to your art.Sooo... I'm really glad you enjoyed it so much, thanks again for the chance to flex the old writing muscles, and feel free to use any and all elements you like in your story. Because, at the end of the day, that's what it is: Yours.Though if you ever happen to need an assistant writer for some reason, well...
Oh hey. Animoose got me back into Livestreaming. I'll be doing this on occasion, and probably a few times while I'm working on The Escapist Radio Theater.It practically makes my machine too hot to touch, but I'll get over it. As long as I don't overdo it or try to do long 6 hour marathons for a stream, it should be fine.Anycase, tonights session is already on a loop at the ol Coney Island Art Institute. So check it out, if you'd please.
Speaking of livestreams. If everything goes right, I'll be doing a quick spur of the moment one shortly. (the time is now 8:45 pm est)
