And now, after that brief intermission...Hello! As those determined enough to find me will have discovered, I gave Blogger a couple of weeks cooling-off period after some faffing, but now I'm here! Hello again!
Sorry about that awful "You've been locked out, this is only for special people" landing page that Google puts up - it's not very welcoming is it? If I could edit it, it'd say something a bit less confusing like "This blog is bloody well closed to everyone until the whole internet pulls its jolly great finger out, please. Thank you."
Just popping in to check how the internet is coming along. Good, good. Could you guys maybe stop trying to hack into my emails please? Many thanks x
Anyway, I had a chance to get on with some comiccy stuff recently, which I wasn't expecting, even to the extent of thinking about a new haircut for Ix (pictured above), and to create some unusual props for a few comics' time. Like this cigarette (Also pictured, but you noticed that, didn't you? Yes you did).
Funnily enough, although Ix might well try that haircut for size, she is not going to take up smoking - it's actually going to be a spy-type device for general making-of-mayhem purposes. Lovely, lovely, don't we all wish we had more spy-type devices for general making of mayhem? Yes, yes we do.
So then.
There's also a new bunch of unusable renders which I could put on this blog (and would love to, because they're amusing errors like Ix's whole arm poking through someone's torso etc), but then looking at them there's some pretty severe plot spoilers going on, so I can't. Which is a shame.
I guess what I've learnt from all this comiccing is to keep the plots simple, cos when you get twisted up in a running plot, you bloody well take ages unravelling it all and closing every plot hole and it all takes blimmin ages! It'll be worth it though. This upcoming comic is a good one, but the one AFTER that - OMG. And the one after that? Number 20? That's the killer. That's the Oscar performance right there. OK, maybe not an Oscar, but at least a GNVQ Level 1 in storytelling.
Blimey, it's almost like I never closed the blog, eh? Happy Friday everyone!

Ix can't take up smoking owing to a logistical issue: Ix is so hot, her cigarettes burn at both ends.
Not that she needs new hair, but, at least in these renders, the hair works beautifully with the "spy" vibe/style to this expression. Top pic makes me want to dub her Mata Ixa or Tokyo Ix or something...
"I guess what I've learnt from all this comiccing is to keep the plots simple, cos when you get twisted up in a running plot, you bloody well take ages unravelling it all and closing every plot hole and it all takes blimmin ages!" - Yep. "It'll be worth it though." - Yep (with a lit'le bit 'o bloomin' luck, eh?). You'll do fine :)
Yeah agreed on the Tokyo Ix vibe - unintentional but it's funny how a bit of a squint and moody lighting can change the story of a character.
And hey thanks re plot, I'll keep plugging away :)
i cant see Ix smoking a cigarette maybe her brother but not Ix i can see her with ballgag and tied up ;-)
1) He's far too squeeky clean to smoke
2) The ballgag thing wouldn't go down well with Ix. Read 'Dive Into the Dark' - it doesn't end well for the people who try to control her :)
oh yeah now i remember :)
