You and me both, Jof. I may be a bit squeamish about spending money online but nothing will stop me from getting artbooks. Not even death itself. O_O

Also, I spy a panty shot. *koff* I like the gun, actually; every time I try to draw a gun it ends up looking like a hair dryer. Good hatching, too.

Jof - I think, according to my ancient wooden yard stick, the diary is very roughly about 7.5 in wide X 9.5 in long.
They're a pretty good size and just big enough to jot down your dreams in


Ooo.. I like that picture, TRiP. I love those eyes.

[DiGi Valentine]

And as for the character art books. YES YES YES. I love reference books, especially for games and comics.

So do i. I always love seeing the stuff that helped shape the characters we know and love today. That's why every major character in this story will have an artbook all to themselves. It will also explain more facts about them in detail so it's kinda like a character profile/artbook.
The current plan is to release an artbook after a new character joins the story.

*STRESS STRESS STRESS* Stressing out my eyeballs about completely DUMB counciltax error that landed on our mat thismorning. £1.250 IN TEN DAYS. I THINK NOT. Going to tax place on Thursday with the brother to yell at them, but in the ridiculous case we have to pay an entire years council tax in one helping just because they didn't inform us how much sodding money we were supposed to pay each month then I'm going to be going to art overdrive to get the first comic done so i can sell it, but alas that will be inbetween dodgy working hours for both DiGi and myself. But i wont let work throw me off my projects, if i get a bit done each day then it should still mount up.

Today has been the worst day since we were on the streets. So much crap has been happening one after the other. I have these awesome great dreamlike days (SEGA trips and stuff) then its mad extremes of utter POO. Trying to keep this house and our sanity together is very hard at times, hmm. Wont let it get me down though. Hoping a cool person i met today will give me full time hours.

Chin up and all that crap.
PS) Sorry im behind on my PM's and emails, the past few days have been mayhem of bad luck.

D: I can't believe it! Somebody zinged me on the auction I was bidding on! I swear, I got an email that said, "You've been outbid," and then two seconds later, "Sorry, you didn't win." ;o; This makes me sad; I wanted that picture... It's a good thing the bidders are anonymous or else someone would be gettin' pushed down the stairs. >_>

[TRiPPY]

Ahahah XD; At least i know the person who won is a big iMAGNi fan from these forums too and is blissed out they won. So its good to see it going to a good home eitherway. Thankyou for bidding Wolf, it's appreciated
These auctions are ending within a few hours or this hour, nice to see them end, i get addicted to putting things in envelopes XD ITS FUN. Like christmas.

After all these auctions are done i have to update my ebay settings because it still points to my FIRST email address when i was with blueyonder and that died about 4 years ago D: I'd fix it right now but im scared it might ask me to verify my old email adress (which i cant) and that might mess up my auctions, so im leaving it the hell alone for now lol.

[infractus]

d'oh... I spent the last hour sleeping, not even bothering to remember that the auctions were ending soon. Which auctions sold?

[TRiPPY]

because im tired/lazy its easier to say which items didn't sell XD;
the NiGHTS and Reala painting
the blue standing infront of Engelbaum pic

the other art which is no longer here:
http://search.ebay.c...assZinfranights
actualy sold :3

the other items have about 10+ hours left if anyones intrested

[Nickbot]

Since I've been raking in the dough as they say from these last few weeks, I may end up buying these art pieces off of you, Lynne. Though it's gonna take some time to get my paypal up to speed. New bank means new needs to waver my funds into it. If no one buys them, then I will bring some justice to your funding needs. I'll try to get it going within the beginning of next week, if not tomorrow for sure. So I'll try to hurry this art spree up fast and in a hurry. My walls could use more art that's not mine, anywho.

[TRiPPY]

The cel picture didn't sell either so it will either be relisted or go to a private buyer if the situation arises. I'm happy to say the Blue ink sold off Ebay for more than the asking price so that's really helped. <3
Hey Nick Thanks for being interested, it's nice to see my art go to places where the buyers know about what theyre buying. Makes me happier about selling it. Setting up paypal can be an arse, i only just got my account sorted out a couple of weeks ago after they messed me around for 2 months after a verifying mixup THEN my card expiring and renewing and MORE validating. Took them ages, but it works now o_o

Art that doesn't sell I'm holding for about 1-2 weeks before relisting incase of offebay sales.
Might dig around more tonight and see what else i can find to sell.

[Murasaki Doku]

Did we at least put a dent in your bills?

And..."FEARMYHIPS"? xDDD

[DiGi Valentine]

Yeah, the money that was made is gonna help that nasty bill a lot so cheers to everyone who bought something. It is seriously appreciated. Thanks.

As for the FEARMYHIPS thing. Lol....i really have no idea where that came from. I asked her once and i can't remember what the reason for that name was. But that name is ooooold. Like, 'before i even turned up in this place' old.

[DAiLiGHT]

I really wish I could buy something from you TRiPPY, your art is so magical and would look BADASS on my NiGHTS-purple wall. But alas, I am but a poor and moneyless hermit child.

I... MUST... GET... A.... JOB!!!!!!!

Trust me, TRiPPY, when I get a job, don't be surprised to see some bids for crazyhigh money on a bit of your art. But... that'll be a while yet....

*claws at the local Shaw's' eyeballs for rejecting my work application*

[TRiPPY]

Ahaahah fearmyhips... i think it was because of my character Astrima, she has like MEGAHIPS, she kills people with her HIPS OF DOOM. Well not really but her butt is pretty massive XD Hips should be feared! Like elbows and earlobes.

I sold a good amount of the art so it took a big chunk out of the power bill, thankfully after we went to the council place today we dont have to pay that giant STUPID bill of £1250 they were trying to blag out of us, so thats off my baps for now. Just have to get this power bill paid before the 2nd and we should be fine, then the rent 3 days afterwards XD;;; AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH life is scary! But challenges are good i guess.

Actualy while we were out in the bizzarely blazing sun today there was this guy out busking bigstyle in the street right infront of the counciltax building. He had a mic and guitar and a big crowd. Sort of sounded like James Blunt, but better, all the windows in the building were open and the workers were outside listening. Nice atmosphere I'll miss stuff like that when i move. I like spontanious creative people.


Posted 2 parcels today, looked for peanut cookies, i failed

And that was my mad day.

[Murasaki Doku]

blag

baps

busking

I fail to fully understand TRiPPY!dialect. =(


What makes you think you won't have spontaneous creative people where you're moving?

[TORiAS_the_fallen]

*head spins* MUST-BID-ON-TRiPPY-ART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Leonhart]

You gon be moving TRiPPY?

I DEMAND TO KNOW WHAR SO I CAN SEND YOU BOXES FULL OF PAPER SHIKIGAMI DOLLS TO HARASS YOU!

D=

[DiGi Valentine]

We ain't moving. It was just talking about the idea, right Lynne? You esek.

[Leonhart]

BOXES I TELL YOU, BOXES!

You won't believe how many paper cuts i have now ;_;

[TRiPPY]

blag, baps, busking

Steal, boobs, singing for money.

Wow that sounds like a story in itself.

As for moving we're moving to MARS. Lollers.

[Maki Izumii]

I get what you mean - I've wanted to move out of this crudhole for ages now, but finance ain't permitting (and the cost of like, EVERYTHING has gone up - water, electricity HOMGWTF EVEN GAS?! god damn ><)

[TRiPPY]

I think our prob is more sort of we were never sure exactly how much we were supposed to be paying in the first place because different people kept advising different things then done nothing, leaving us to twiddle our thumbs hoping for some sort of resolve. Luckily we dont pay for water in Scotland, so that's one good thing i suppose. What i hate most about living in your own place- AUTOMATED FINAL DEMAND NOTICES. You go in to speak to the company/whatever and theyre all like 'Oh you shouldnt have got this, its just the computer'. YES. BLAME THE COMPUTER SYSTEM FOR SCARYASS LETTERS. I mean i remember when i lived at my old place I'd get so many bills from telewest all asking for the same thing for no reason when I'd already paid my bills XD; Waste of bloody trees!

Anyway i came in here to say Kano should (hopefully) be finished for the end of the night. So i'll put him on the frontpage when he's done. Might take a bit longer though.. hmmm.. my eyes are playing up and hurt like hell.

[DAiLiGHT]

*stares at the guys from Shaw's until they feel awkward and offer me a job*

[Leonhart]

Ooooo Kano.......sounds like that guy from Mortal Kombat.

Lets hope he looks better than him xD

[TRiPPY]

*lmao* theres a rapper called Kano too XD; neither of these things i really thought about while creating the character...

tho... he does have half a metal face, bionic limbs and a cockney accent.

Ok i lie.

Kano is happening slowly because DiGi needs to use the pc today, so i'll be doing more inking on the comic instead. I need to draw 50+ gens today... ARRRRGHHHIIGEGIEHE. But thats ok because i get to design new stuff.
*grabs magnifying glass and smallest pen she can find*

[animejosse]

Woman, stop overworking yourself to dea--ah hell that doesn't work on Ica, I doubt it'll do any better on you XD

But seriously, 50+ gens? Yikes, that's some crowd O__O And knowing you they're probably not just standing around looking pretty.

[Handy Candy]

Mm...depending on how Ka-Blam works out, maybe you should try Comixpress.com? That's the place I always use I've heard some good things about ka-blam, but bad things too (they're going through growing pains, I suppose). Comixpress has always gotten my stuff done on time, and if they happen to run into a problem they rush ship my order and get it there just on time (with ten free copies for my trouble!).

[TRiPPY]

@_@ neaaaaarly finished Kano now, hair and trousers to finish, but i have to go out for the day so I'll continue working on him when i get home.

I might try experimenting with each printer (per issue) to see what works best for the first 3 or 4 then stick to one. All suggestions welcome ^^

[TRiPPY]

Ok so Kano never happened yesterday or the day before because offline stuff pulled me awaaaay. Plus I'm excited about something that may happen in December (read as EXCITED AS I'LL EVER BE) so yeah. But today I'm home so i can get through all those emails and PM's I've not replied to all week D: Don't hate me!
I'll finish Kano today definately, then put him on a few bits of merch because I'm pretty fond of the art for him.

DiGi and I were doing more story writing regarding Andreanna's story ark and now she is packed full to the brim with STUFF THAT IS COOL. I was worried before because she didn't have much story, but now she is awesome. A lot of stuff just falls into place. I like it when that happens. Mmm.

[Wolf]

Anything yellow is clearly inherently cool. 9_9 I'm not biased at all or anything. ... I swear.

[TRiPPY]

My second favourite color after red has always been yellow, i wonder what Astrima would have looked like as a robot XD
ROBOBEWBS.

[MidgitLD]

Giant robo-gen KERTITTIES and hips.

[DiGi Valentine]

I wonder what Astrima would have looked like as a robot XD

Makes me think of that Robo-TRiPPY doodle i drew a while back. XD

[Feniiku]

Roboobot with big hair! XD

Good to know story stuff is falling into place, it rocks when that happens XD really can't wait to see this all when it's done :3

[Murasaki Doku]

I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE (with the advertising)...I think it was a *really* good idea on your part--when the comics come out, I'll be "Mom? This is what I'm buying. *shows flyer*."



I'm kind of glad that I didn't end up buying any artwork. If I had, I'd probably not have enough control over myself to even open the package. My mind is going "OMFGOMFGOMFG" over and over again.

I'm starstruck by a couple of beaded bracelets...how pathetic. xD

[TRiPPY]

MY ADVERTISING PLOY HAS BEEN RUMBLED *hides underneath desk*
Lol glad you got your stuff ok, my postoffice nearly sent someones parcel to the UK equivelant of a US town name because they didn't read the country code properly :| DiGi had to save it (thankyou <3 ) Stupid postofficey dudes trying to make my life that bit more annoying.

Lol that sheet of printed paper there is proof to the fact I'm actualy working on the actual comic *lawl* I'm just being secretive on purpose. AND OBSCURE.

Man my teeth hurt so much, its' really making me not want to draw right now >_<

[TRiPPY]

*DRUMROLL*

Last of set 3, Kano up on the frontpage.

Go see

http://www.imagni.com

Now onto the last set.

[Nickbot]

Kano reminds me a lot of myself. Tattoos and women. Oh yeah! I think I found me a sorta dreamer to look at for the iMAGNi story. Much love for the Kano!

[animejosse]

I want Kano's hair. Or at least whatever shampoo he uses XD Gorgeous colouring, and I adore his girlfriend!

EDIT: *snort* I just realised it looks like Bruce is annoyed with having Kano's hair right in front of him.

[DiGi Valentine]

*snort* I just realised it looks like Bruce is annoyed with having Kano's hair right in front of him.

LOL! TRiP said the exact same thing when she positioned Kano there, XD

Anyways, TRiPPY my deary. Kano has turned out looking really cool. I'm loving it, babes.
So....we're on to the final set. You've done so much work on this it's crazy @_@

Proud of you, my dear. Let's keep this thing going. We're doing great so far.
