Crap. I know I seem too young to think about this, but I don't know what career I will go for when I'm older. The reason I am thinking now is because, depending on my decision in the next year, what high school I choose to go to will most likely decide what career I go for. People always say to go after what you enjoy doing and I love drawing, but I just suck at it. And I'm not just saying I'm bad because I am beating myself up, but because my drawings now look just like the drawings I drew 3-4 years ago (before I stopped for 3 years). JJ, like Nikolai, I would like you to give me your opinion on what I should do. (don't feel pressured or like what you say might ruin my life, I just want an opinion)
I have also been talking about going to a certain high school for a while now and I think my parents don't think I'm serious due to my age, and I'm afraid that if I do decide I want to do something different with my life (other than what I would go to this particular school for) they won't take me seriously with anything ever again.
Gahhh! I hate freaking monologuing! I feel old! I know this is taking up space in this forum for no reason but its not really something something I can talk to my friends or family about (I know I should feel comfortable talking with my family, but I don't, and my friends [who are my age] are way less mature than I am [that is why i said I feel old, I am more mature than alot of kids my age]), so I actually feel more comfortable sharing this with people I don't know over the unsafe internet filled with creepy stalker guys who look at child porn. I even act less mature than I am around my family or else they'll think I'm depressed or over thinking things. Sometimes I wish I were in the Matrix, although that "ignorance is bliss" is not true (even though in this world it sometimes sounds nice). I can't enjoy my trip to Europe because my family (mainly my sisters and my dad) keep getting frustrated and angry, while I hang back about five yards. I don't want to depress people, but being the way I am (around people who don't see themselves and understand what they are taught), I tend to come off as quiet and sad (I don't smile as often as I should so my thinking face looks angry or sad, which causes people to misunderstand what I am feeling). I think this post might be a little depressing, but I need to get it out in some form. Well, if you have read this far, you won't be annoyed if I continue my speech. The high school I mentioned earlier would be a boarding military academy (for I am seriously thinking of serving in the military and I plan on getting used to the kind of military order found in some military academies) but my parents think I should just go to a normal boarding school for the experience and if I did I would be able to pursue my hope of being an artist (cartoon artist, not like paintings and stuff). I don't know what to do. I suck at drawing and I'm not in the best physical condition (with exercise induced asthma and lack of interest in football [the one sport I'm good at, and the main sport military academies are interested in]. I can always get in shape, but I don't know if my drawing skills will improve enough to convince I can make it in enough time. Crap, I'm thirteen, turning fourteen soon, and I feel like I am deciding my life! On top of this probably unnecessary stress is the fact that the football coach I had for Spring training this Spring, who is a great guy, super nice, wants (and expects me to) do football next year at my school. My school has a sucky art class where all we do is make books or paper mache, not how to improve drawing. There is noway I can find art classes before school starts because my trip takes most of the summer. I am also interested in physics but I'm slowly losing interest in it. because of this I am losing faith in my self and I don't know what I'll thinkof drawing or military in 2-3 years. Overall, I have a great life, but I just don't.....gahhh! I don't know! Please, I know this post has gone on forever and is completely off topic, but I need opinions. Anyone? Neutral Question

Don't stress, we all know what late nights can do. Hallucinations, opening your hart to someone, talking about stuff you shouldn't, lack of paragraphs. It happens to the best of us.

JollyJack,I noticed that you don't have any of your artbooks and comics available for direct download (i.e. PDFs). Is there a reason for this?

Here's some more questions:

1) You mentioned earlier that Kat was created long before you created the Sequential Art comic, and that she was a superheroine. What kind of powers was she going to have?

2) How long does it usually take to draw a comic page, and what kind of steps do you follow? Do you create a rough sketch by hand (paper and pencil), or do you do everything on computer?

3) This one is a bit silly, but I'll ask anyways: If the characters of Sequential Art could hit me upside the head with any object (including kitchen sinks), what would it be?

4) What desserts are the characters' favorites, and what are their least favorites?

5) What is your favorite fast food place?

1 - They were going to be electric in nature.

2 - A B&W page takes 2 to 3 hours for me to finish. Colouring adds another 2 to 3.

Ah, so Kat was going to be something of a Storm-like character, then. I bet her fur would have stood on end. Wink

De-yah, Mistah Jack...

I wonder, have you ever read the book 'The Lies of Locke Lamora', by one Scott Lynch? Other than being a very good and entertaining book, I think there is something in it that you would be particualrly drawn to. Or rather more specifically, some women that you would like...

An excerpt:

Scholars of the Therin Collegium, from their comfortable position well inland, could tell you that the wolf sharks of the Iron Sea are beautiful and fascinating creatures, their bodies more packed with muscle than any bull, their abrasive hide streaked with every color from old-copper green to stormcloud black. Anyone actually working the waterfront in Camorr and on the nearby coast could tell you that wolf sharks are big aggressive bastards that like to jump.

Carefully caged, starved, and maddened by blood, wolf sharks are the key to the customary highlight of the Shifting Revel. Other cities have gladiatorial games; other cities pit men against animals. But only in Camorr can you see a specially armed gladiator (a contrarequialla) battle a live, leaping shark, and in Camorr only women are allowed by tradition to be contrarequialla.

This is the Teeth Show.

---

Locke couldn't tell if the women were truly beautiful, but they were undeniably striking. They were all dark-skinned Camorri with muscles like farm girls, imposing even at a distance, and they wore next to nothing - tight black cotton shifts across their chests, wrestler's loincloths and thin leather gloves. Their black hair was pulled back under the traditional red bandanas and threaded with brass and silver bangles that caught the sunlight in chains of white flashes. The purpose of these bangles was a matter of argument. Some claimed that they confused the poor eyesight of the sharks, while just as many claimed that the glare helped the monsters better sight their prey.
Each contrarequialla carried two weapons, a short javelin in one hand and a special axe in the other. These axes has grips enclosed by full handguards, making them difficult to lose; they were double-headed, with the expected curved blade on one side and a long, sturdy pick-head on the other. [...]
Contrarequialla fought across a series of stepping platforms, each about two feet wide and raised half a foot out of the water. These platforms were set out in a square grid, four or five feet apart, leaving plenty of room for the opposition to swim between them. The women would have to hop between these platforms at a rapid pace to strike out at the sharks while dodging leaps in return; a slip in the water was usually the end of the contest.

Amidst your fighting Valkyries, Street-Fighting Kats and Kittyhulks, a strong woman with barely any clothes on fighting a SHARK with no more than a HATCHET and a pointy stick would seem to be right up your alley. Very Happy

Assuming you're not in the Sequential Art world...

If you saw Kat, Scarlet, or Pip (or, more accurately, real life anthropomorphic animals resembling them; I mention the characters simply to give you a better picture of what I mean) ambling down the sidewalk, what would you do?

Mr. JJ,

When you're ending an colored image, do you have any feel, that something is missing, but you can't understand, what?

Weeks of brainstorming.
I jot down all the words I can think of that are related to the project and assemble them into potential titles. I then find the ones I like and search around online to make sure no one else has got there first.
