I didn’t consider this, I’m very sorry (especially to you second anon, I feel like a real dingus and I hope your circumstances improve and I’m very sorry for ever making you feel that frustration), I just do? feel terrible. about it. so many of us do- however I can see that at this point I am causing more anguish and that is the exact opposite of what I intended- I didn’t really intend anything? I guess I wasn’t thinking about it from these angles and I’ll try to cut it out now I WILL cut it out now! do better mod! I will. I love you.
aw man, well- see, these are valid too! gosh. I don’t know what to say at this point- I still mean what I said in the original, I am sorry for not looking at things from another point of view and I am sorry for causing any sadness, at the same time I am still like, wildly angry at the situation and feel responsible as a representative of this country to voice that disappointment, though perhaps the fact it’s manifesting as self hatred is a bit unhelpful… I don’t know man. I think I just have to leave this at that- throwing my hands in the air in a confession that I just, don’t know! what to say. I hope things turn around somehow, but I just am too tired and stupid to be able to communicate all these big complicated feelings in an articulate enough manner (also wow it’s late and I should not be typing UH GOODNIGHT I may delete this post eventually- not because it doesn’t matter I just don’t have the brain or energy to deal w this right now)
Anonymous asked: okay so I have been reading back through all the doodle comics you've made that I have loved (all of them), and the thing that always gets me is how you get the 'tone' of them right. Like, on the nose this-could-be-in-this-show right; and they're completely different! Gravity Falls, Osomatsu-san, Wander Over Yonder, Ace Attorney... hell, THAT comic felt more real than the game's actual ending! So... How do you do that? Do you have any advice on that part of writing? :o
Gosh that’s very awesome to hear, that you feel that way? Because I do try very hard to do that! However I am not really sure about how to advise on it, which sounds lame but it’s true! I suppose mostly it’s practice, and I did used to do a lot of RP writing, which requires getting into the skin of a character so completely that you can respond in their ‘voice’ almost without thinking. It was a great exercise for spontaneous plot reaction too- and really that is all a story is. You put a character, who is and exists and has feelings and a history, into a situation; you let the character respond to that situation, and that is how the story happens. If you put a character into a situation and force the outcome then it won’t feel right, no matter how many lens flares and explosions you put in; the motions of the characters have to come from the emotions of the characters, and I guess every show, game and movie has their own emotional vibe and sense of timing as well? Treat the world as a character: how does it breathe? Space and time are inherently linked, perhaps we can say that every ‘world’ has its own form of time; so how does that space dictate the timing of the story you want to write? Maybe that’s nonsense. Maybe I don’t care.
Basically get out there and try and try and get it wrong until you get it right!
Anonymous asked: could you record your voice for us? I'm dying to know what you sound like!
crumbs, uh, well I suppose I could? my voice is sort of weird though and I don’t know what I would say :S I’m about to head off to bed at any rate so I’ll think about it and maybe have a shot tomorrow
I’ve never worked with Copics before, so this was an adventure! Unfortunately, I had to significantly reduce the size of the bottom image, since otherwise it wouldn’t load due to Tumblr’s image limit.
I was talking with someone about light bulk structuring and instead of being a normal person and drawing something normal to demonstrate I doodle a three eyed duck so yeah here have this
