I just wanted to give a big 'thank you' to everyone who responded to my last journal. It really means a lot to me whenever anyone comments on my work, good or bad. I feel a little guilty using the word 'critique' to vaguely describe the comment I received. I let a friend look over it and I guess it really wasn't a critique but more of a personal attack. I realize it'll be the first of many but I guess it's taking me a while to get used to some of the mindless hostility that comes with making your work a little more known.

Especially with the alien topic. Man, just don't even write about aliens if you don't want the tin-foil wearing folks to come a-knocking. lol

Again, I just want to thank you all for being kind and supportive people. It really means a lot to me that you take time to read my comic and view my artwork.

Now for something completely different! Here's a fun little Meme I found on :zeticon:'s journal:

OC MEME:
Write out the names of your characters and explain:
1) How you thought of their name
2) What made you create the character in the first place
3) How the character has changed over time (if they have changed)
4) Any random fun fact about that character

Hue

1) Hue's name (along with the other Greys minus EBE1) are supposed to be ironic considering they live in a fairly colorless world. Color and words used to describe it also seem to be abstract concepts that the Greys have little understanding of.

2) I'm not terribly certain what got me writing about aliens in the first place. I know I created the story between the ages of 13 and 14 (so about 9 years ago) and it was originally called 'Meaningless Love'. Worst. Title. Evar. Anyway, Hue and Rose were the first characters then Shade, Tone, 'The Commander', General Merraine, and Roger followed suit. The rest of the cast filled out when I picked it back up in college.

3) Hue's demeanor has changed very little though he was bolder about what he wanted. In the original script, he was a hybrid with his human appearance being his only appearance (he wasn't really a Grey at all to be honest). I'm not positive but I also think he disguised himself as a priest to blend in with people on Earth. I eventually scrapped all of that making him a full Grey and putting the religious themes with Phillis' character.

4) Hue is essentially deaf.


Rose

1) Rose's name has always been because of her mother but I can't really talk about that right now.

2) Rose was created in tangent with Hue so she's always been his spit-fire love interest.

3) She hasn't really changed much except that the way I draw her hair has become more defined.

4) This always seems to surprise people, but I'm not Rose and she's not me. I don't look like Rose and I don't really act like her. She's just my character. ono; I'm sorry!


Quazky and the Reptoids

(I'm addressing them as a group since I conceptualized them as a group.)

1) I seriously made up the name Quazky. I realize now that it has some similarities to the feathered serpent deity, Quetzalcoatl but it was really a happy accident. The other Reptoids (Longus, Magnus, Gracelis,) all have muscle names, these three in particular are muscles in the groin. I created them shortly after an anatomy drawing class. Also I know I spell 'Gracelis' wrong as it is correctly spelled 'graceles' when referring to the muscle but I thought the 'i' looked better. lol

2) Reptoid aliens kick butt and I wanted to try my own interpretation of them. I also wanted a group of aliens that were more human in their behavior but more foreign in their appearance.

3) When I created them, they were more like the hyenas in The Lion King in that they were this menacing group of pests that were more comic relief than actual villains. I realized later that since I wasn't portraying the Greys as one large evil race, I shouldn't do it to the Reptoids as well. Quazky didn't have any lines except to laugh or say he was hungry. Longus was more like Quazky is now, a womanizer (HA!) and boisterous comedian. Gracelis was well... Gracelis but more mean! Originally, I wrote a scene where she would shape shift to look like Phillis just to taunt EBE1 with her ghostly visage. Magnus hasn't changed a bit.

4) Well you all know Quazky eats skunks so that's nothing new. Hmmm... He's kind of short and weak for a Reptoid? Not like that means anything compared to human height and strength! lol

Please do not request commissions with this journal. Please send me a note or an email instead. It's much easier for me to keep track of things that way.
I'm currently not doing any porn or heavy fetish work just because it's time consuming and I can't always post it on DA. I like to use my commissions as examples, so you understand.
Please pay upfront so I can get to work. I'm not holding slots anymore. First come, first serve.
If you want to see the sketch before I go full tilt on it, let me know. Otherwise, I'm just going to finish it.
Once I'm done, I'm done. I'm not doing complete revamps of any pieces. Just so you know, I take a lot of time on each commission I work on so you're not going to be getting anything half-assed. :3
All my work is digital so please don't ask for anything else. :<
I super prefer Paypal.
If you have any questions, just ask!
