Gnarl

Long time since the last entry... maybe i will get a chance this coming weekend. We need MORE comics!

I have posted 2 new novellas on Amazon... The Academy, first term and Gnarl writes a book. The prices are really low, enjoy!

I would like to add a careful word about character flaws. Yes they can go way too far, but then a perfect character can be very boring. Some flaws in a main character hero or heroin can, if not exagerated way too far, make a character interesting. The ruff old tracker who will stop what he is doing to go out of his way to help. Then in chapter 4 you discover it is because he lost his whole family to ...whatever... but it made him the way he is. Maybe he needs to be that way for the story to flow or be interesting. Yes the chosen one is way over used, i would love to read a book about what happens when the chosen one dies in the first chapter, but, then what would the story be if the main character was not the chosen one... What if Harry Potter was not the chosen one?

Did you know that there is a backstory to the Mammalians? Their former emperress, at the ripe old age of 5 had accidentally outlawed males on her home world. She had said that they were icky and grose and ordered that they all be thrown off the world. Then when she reached the at of 15 she discovered what they were for while visiting one of the outer planets and ending up sending her entire space force to go and find, "young-handsome males". She had also given orders that these males must be...uh... tested, to make sure that they would be able to fullfill the Mammalian needs.

Looks like this thread needs some new infusion of something! I will see what i can do but it may take a week or two.

I'm old i don't remember ... wasn't it, no wait... what ever happened to Minty? and hello Joshi.

And after they boarded the ship!

ANd way past due, but here is another entry for the saga of BEER WOLF.

I never said that they were lost in the Mammalian Nebula, just having a slight, little issue.... "Alright who drank all the darn fuel?"

YAY the comics are back! Will have to do something.... now where did i put my glasses?

Little Graymuzzle??? He hasn't read page 9 on the Phoenix comics and doodles!

I see all the young people have welcomed you, so on behalf of the arcane-graymuzzle crowd welcome to our insanity!

sorry a bit late here, but congrats on starting to almost be an adult now. Why i remember back when i turned 50 and how young i felt, then i turned 55 and that wasn't so bad... and this coming january i will turn older a lot older and that won't be bad at all. I won't even mind when i hit 60 in the near future....

It all depends of what you are trying to do. For example anime has one set of cannons, comic/cartoon/super hero stuff has another and traditional or realism has another. There are so many different styles. I would suggest that you go search the internet and find one you like, then practice-practice-practice.
