PART 2: The Plan

Some say the hardest part about doing something is getting started. Those people are fools. It's a lot harder to continue than it is to start.

Saying that, I plan to continue and finish this version of the comic. And hopefully this time I'll be happy with it.

Here is the plan for the comic, I guess you can't really understand what is happening if you've never seen the comic before. And if you have, then this plan doesn't look much different.... hmmm.

Well at any rate, I understand what is going on, and that's all that matters at this stage. If you are interested in this little project of mine, I can explain the new frames to you, or send you an older version (there are 2 to choose from!) for you to read.

As always, I appreciate suggestions. And encouragement. I'm like a puppy that way, I need my biscuit and pat on the head.

Well that was a sucky year. It started out bad, me being upset (as usual) and having a hug from a friend that lingered a bit much.

I had a mental breakdown, and downward spiral, a bought of sucicidal depression, and an addiction to many drugs (nothin too bad, don't worry).

Then a lot of nothing.

WHERE'S THE BACKGROUND?

Originally uploaded by Elliott Scott.

I'm having some problems with the background for the oasis. It's the only scene with color, so that is an important aspect. But at the same time, I wanted a lot of white space. But I also wanted it densly packed with flowers. A lot of conflicting terms.

What I think I might do is use pastel colors for the flowers, and reserve any black outlines or strong colors for the characters.

Yeah, that could work.

The Oasis Waitress
Originally uploaded by Elliott Scott.

With a bit more work, and a bit more effort, and thought, this is what I meant when I was trying to describe my comic. See, the textures, the lines, the... uh... well that's it.

This is the waitress at the coffee shop oasis. I've always had the most trouble drawing her. Because she's supposed to be attractive, to me in particular, so I have trouble. She always ends up looking weird. Or pornish. So I made her cute this time. Looks like someone I know though. Which is a bit of a problem. A few people actually. It's the hair. And the thin-ness.

Damn you subconcious! Damn you to hell!

MY WRISTS HURT

Usually that means something suss, especially coming from me. But not this time. I've been typing. A new, and scary phenomenom. My dad is writing a book, and I have to type it up for him. I owe him $100, and this will pay him back. But it sucks. His handwriting is AWEFUL, and the writing itself is ... rushed. I don't think he proof read it, and if he did, his grammar is just plain ridiculous. I know mine isn't that crash hot, especially on this blog, but damn! I dunno. Do I tell him? Do I just re-type his word for word, then let the editor laugh. Oh well.

IMBORTANT STUFF

Yeah sure some find it boring, but its important business. I have to choose my typefaces for the comic. I like the ones with the blue stars, and also like the one with the the orange. Any opinions or suggestions would be good.

REMEMBER these are meant to look low brow. They're not meant to be perfectly produced. The tracking is way off on the bottom blue, but I kinda like that. (It's used for the title by the way)

Ps. As I was loading the image, I thought maybe making the M or the E in 'Mondayne' out of a 3. To show thats its version, without being to blatant.

MONDAYNITY

Hooray Mondayne
Originally uploaded by Elliott Scott.

I plan on redoing my ol' comic, Mondayne. Every time I do this comic, I get closer to how I want it to be. First time wasn't really that great, sorta a rough draft if anything. The second time was a bit too dark and some say scratchy. And I forgot a few things.

This one I think will be more vector based, cleaner lines. Nicer. Better story too. But it aint gonna be just vector, that will be the base. There is gonna be textures. I want it to be more feminine, or detailed, delicate, intricate, whatever. Similar to shadow puppets, with the light of the paper shining through. Yeah. Like a story.

And the use of boxes are gonna be cleverereer. The bus scene; the seats of the bus are gonna be boxes. You'll see what I mean.

And I will take my time. NO RUSHING. I'm planning it in my head first. But that never works. Maybe this time it will.

I'm Elliott Scott, WAAAHHH! (^_^) signing off.

SEXELLENT (And me not being)

I think I might have inadvertently been hit on by a 16 year old chick. In the Harbour Town car park installing Tanner's new seat covers. Yes, I know it's a weird thing to do at 10 at night, but anyway... These chicks drive over and start with the chattin. They were annoying. You could hear the stupid in their voices. And see the blank expressions, in ... their eyes.. duh. I can't remember exactly what was said, but something along the lines of the chick just got new seat covers too, and asked if I wanted to see them. Wink wink. Not being clued in to the game, I didn't get the innuendo. And they made a final attempt on commenting on my stripey underwear, which was sticking out of my pants as I learned over, and how it was apparently turning them on. Tanner shot me an awkward glance, I looked at them with a confused (morally and mentally) stare, and they left.

So very young.

So even though I make jokes about never gettin any, and how I like young chicks, none of that is grounds to act. I'm not really looking for one-night-stands, even if I joke that I am. I want a girlfriend, love, a relationship, all the nice stuff. Sex is totally not the primary goal. That being said, the ol' buddy is lonely, but he can keep on being lonely till he finds a friend and a home, not just a stranger with a caravan.

I'm Elliott Scott, not really sexually starved, but pretends to be, signing off.

PS. Anything Tanner says is a downright lie. Those chicks DID hit on me. No, seriously, they did!

OH CRAP OH CRAP OH CRAP

Last night when I couldn't sleep I took some time and got to the thinking, and decided to write each of my family members a little note telling them how much they mean to me, and that I really appreciate everything they do for me, and how much I love them. But I'm nervous. Usually when I try to be nice it backfires. And the more I put myself 'out there' or the nicer it is, the more it backfires. Like I think that they're gonna get REALLY mad at me know. But I don't really see why they'd be mad, I was only being nice. But I guess thats the whole point of my crazy insecurity. I'd talk to Linus about this, he's usually very good at knowing my faults. That sounded a lot nicer in my head. He'd be able to help me. Except I'm not going to ask him because I pester him enough already, and whine a lot anyway. But I guess I've already told him how I worry anyway. Ok Elliott snap out of it. I've just watched 36 episodes of Scrubs in the last 24 hours so it's kinda effected me. I've developed an inner monologue. Except that not only do I narrate my life, and have those weird flashes like J.D. does in the show; but the narration is done by him, and the flash backs are of him. Damn I'm screwed. I could imagine him with my ex, but I wouldn't be jealous, I'd be upset cuz I missed her. She SMS'd me by the way. Holy crap I am typing way too much. But it's not like anyone is gonna read this giant brick of text anyway. Then again, no-one thought we could go to the moon like 100 years ago, and we did. WE did. Me and Neil and the gang. Yeah, so back to those flashback/narrations... it's sorta cool having a narrator in your life. You can sorta reflect better when you're concious of what you're saying. Unfortunately I also have those change of scene sound effects. Like the whoosh when the scene changes from one group to another, or when time passes. And it's usually like a shorted version of the theme song, like one bar or two. Yes, I know, I'm totally rambling; but I sorta feel like doing that in this blog. I'm not sure, but it probably is related to all the candy and soda I had when I woke up, which was at 11pm last night. Back to Scrubs... I'll bet I'd either answer to J.D. or Doctor at the moment. Let's try it. (FLASING BACK) Yep, I did. And I was JD in my daydream, and I did answer. I was also in my scrubs. I so need some help it's not funny. Ok, I've sorta run out of things to say. Thanks for taking the time to read this jumble. I'm Elliott Scott, signing off. See what I did there, I totally didn't use any line returns. Dude, I rock. HIGH FIVE!

Originally uploaded by Elliott Scott.

Yes folks it Christmas. And this is the best Christmas ever! And i know that I say that nevery year, but seriously, this has been a good one.

The presents sucked, there was no Christmas brunch, I got into a fight with my dad and brother about generic religion, and we have a ham.

Being Jews we're new to this whole ham game. What's up with the bits of ham jello? I was severely dissappointed. I was expecting little suprises of lime or strawberry flavours. BUT NO! Ham. Who eats ham jello? No-one. Thats who. Except the French.

Well anyway, I made a giant sandwich out of piglets remains, and let me tell you it was big! And salty. And tasted kinda like meat. Sound familiar? Well good, ya big bunch of queers.

And by that I mean awkward, not homosexual. Dude, quit with the gay jokes.

ANYWAY. This has been good, but I have to get back to my sandwich. Which unfortunately couldn't escape the Jew in me, dispite the content, and had to be met with a dill pickle. Sorry, I tried.

Not only is this color, which I've called "ABSOLUTE DULL" a supremely boring color. It's also a new low in boredom. And a new low in rehashing those STUPID t-shirts.

Yes, thats right folks, for AD is the average color of all the t-shirts. Not just the background color. The color of EVERYTHING. Mushed together in that color you get when you just keep mixing paint.

I know, I thought it too, you think its gonna be the GREATEST COLOR EVER! Like a rainbow of color, with fireworks and Tuti-Fruiti candy all mixed into one. But no. It's this crappy dull grey purpley color. with no fun and makes Willy Wonka cry.

YOU BASTARDS! You killed at least 7 Oompa Loompa's just looking at the color. DAMN DIRTY APES! Dang, even my melodrama can't make the color more exciting.

Cool huh. I am a genius! Actually there is one interesting thing about the color. There no purple in it! It's an extremely dull orange. Looks purple to me. Hang on.. it's not so dull now. My plans for world domination are foiled!

GMAIL ACCOUNTS ON OFFER

I have 3 invites for a GMAIL email account, that I am willing to share with anyone who wants it. All you have to do is email me, and then I'll email you the invite.

And if you don't know about Gmail, here is a little explanation:
Gmail is an email client offered by Google. It offers a 1 GIGABYTE storage space, and the ability to send emails with attachments of any size. As long as the person on the other end can accomodate it. In exchange, Google has a deal with advertisers that display information relevant to the content of your email on a side bar.
Its totally non-intrusive, and can be very useful. So its a win-win in my books.

The only problem is I only have 3 invites. So its gonna be on a first come, first serve basis. Unless I don't like you. Then you'd have to 'sweeten the deal'. Actually bribes would be preferred from everyone. Sexual in nature if possible.

Its supposed to be Zany Do. But I can't work the two words together. XANYDU? XANA'DU? I can't gets it.

Oh bys the ways, the bad grammar is done on purpose. Because it hides the inadequacies I have. Sexually. Oops... I mean. NOT sexually. Which leads me to my next point: Whatcha' doing Friday night baby? ... Going out with your boyfriend? Oh, I see....

Akbar & Jeff
Originally uploaded by Elliott Scott.

Yes, that's right folks. The Simpsons font that everyone loves and should be used for EVERYTHING has a weird name; Akbar. You wonder why. Well now your calls for (insert something funny) will be answered.

The name comes from "Akbar & Jeff"; two guys dressed like Charlie Brown, with fez's who love each other very much. How much? Read the comic.

It was taked from a book called:
"Binky's Guide to Love"

I strongly recommend it. 'Specially when yer a bit dissillusioned with the world. It says what we're all thinking, but in a funny way. So at least you ain't alone.

Binky is a rabbit. He is cool. He looks Simpson-esque. But back when the Simpsons were hilarious.

CENSUS OH FOR

Does anyone actually like Christmas? Or to be more specific "Christmas time". The holiday itself is nice enough, but the two months leading up to it, seem like some sort of Orwellian nightmare. Now is the time for shopping. Then comes the two minute hate. And then we all march to the Ministry of Love for some re-education. (From 1984; by the way)

So seriously. Everyone I talk to hates Christmas time. Everyone can't wait till its over. Am I hanging out with the wrong crowd, or is the whole world like this? ... except for... like more than half.

I read about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I think that might be a form. I can't sleep at night if I know I have a full trash can. Or a cluttered desktop. And cigarette ash MUST be flicked off. Also, I have to walk on the left side of CERTAIN people. Why them? Who knows.

Timeline
Originally uploaded by Elliott Scott.

I love Michael Crichton books. They're great reads, not all that clever, but fun to read. And ya learn a lot too. I mean Jurassic Park taught me more about genetics than working in a genetics lab over the summer. Seriously.

One of my favourites is Timeline. Its sorta about timetravel/quantum physics travel through parallel dimension and about medieval France. Good stuff.

But the movie version. SUCKS! Sucks more than when I had to 'work' my way through Thailand. That never happened. No, sucks more than... YOUR MOM! And that's a lot of sucking. But really, it doesn't even suck well. There is not massaging with its tongue. No cupping of the balls. None of that. Just painful, teeth grinding suckage.

Aweful. Poor, poor MC. It must really hurt him. To see a book that was so cool, being turned into utter CRAP.

My review of this movie: 1/2 a star. The best thing about it was when I turned it off.

A pointless blog entry, but one deep in metaphor. And throat. Lots of suck. In fact, when I'm feeling particularly lonely, I put this on. It relieves some sexual tension.

I haven't been blogging much this week. And to those who actually read this everyday, I am sorry. I've been sorta lazy. And sorta indescisive.

I take this bloggin' kinda seriously. It's strangely important to me, which is why I like the feedback, and am constantly hurt by the lack of said feedback. So if I don't have anythign I feel worthy of blogitisation, it stays unblogged.

I did post a few entries in the last few days, that I've later taken off. They were too serious or too depressing. Don't worry, they weren't about me. They were about some stuff I stumbled across on the net. I didn't feel comfortable with pictures of nazi's on my site.

Which doesn't lead me to Pinky and the Brain, but I had no other way of getting there. I like this show. I downloaded a few ep's. Funny stuff. It's so much shorter than I remember. And good-er too. Especially without that annoying girl.

I've been hard at work on the AWESOME LUAU I'm throwing. Making Tiki's and other props, as well as invitations. They're gonna be emailed out. Too save cost and effort. And to make it easier to find images.

I cant remember the whole joke, but it had to do with buying Christmas gifts for husband and wives. They were very dumb, obvious, and what you expect.

When in doubt buy a guy a cordless drill. Or a ratchet, or socket set. Cuz guys just like saying those words. "Hey Steve, can I borrow your ratchet?" "Sure Bill, but I want to show you my socket set."

I dont think so.

DREAM RESULT #9 Incest, lies and scandal!

I had a series of weird dreams over that last couple weeks. They always seem to be about similiar things, I can't remember exactly, but the message is always the same; my ex-girlfriend isn't the one for me. Here is the latest:

I'm in bed, asleep, or going to sleep.
And for some reason I have to share by bed with my sister. (I don't actually have a sister)
And all is as normal as that situation can be. Until she moves closer to me.
Then a little closer.
And then she's against me. My back is to her, and she's spooning me.
And I hear her clothes being slipped of.
And I can feel her bare skin against my shirtless back.
And she's started to rub my chest.
*But it's my sister!*
I resist, but she manages to seduce me.
We begin some sort of late-night foreplay session.
I turn around, it's my ex.
And I wake up.

Well I guess the meaning is pretty obvious. She's a sexual object. She's tempting me. But I know that it's not right. And I try to stop myself, but she can seduce me. So I break it off entirely, by waking up.
Nonetheless, it had me shocked. I felt so dirty. It was my own sister! Except that I don't have a sister, and even if I did, it wouldn't be her, it was someone else. (Someone I'm NOT related to!)

I guess that's the whole story. Not much else to say. But I wanted to say it anyway. It was an interesting dream I thought. And perhaps you'd want to hear about it. Perhaps not. Nothing suss, or perverted, just odd. And un-nerving. And REALLY perverted, without really being. That was the weirdest part. I felt so violated. And shamed.

PS. I'm NOT sad or mopey or wanting you to feel sorry for me. No way. So get off that moral/emotional high-horse!

Dumb Hat, Cool Job(s)

I heard back from some people today:

1. The t-shirt company. They want a minimum of 5 designs, at US$200 each. Which isn't that much on its own, but I ain't gonna complain. US$1000 is a lot'o'dosh.

2. I applied for some illustration work Colin sent out. I'm about 95% certain I got the job. It should be about 150 hours work at $20 per hour. So again, not much on its own, but adds up quite nicely.

So postie bike, here I come!

I just wanted to wish everyone a happy holiday's. I don't think that's correct grammar, but oh well.

Whatever religion or lack of religion, best wishes. Hope you like my comic. I've sent it out in email form too, if you want a copy, just let me know. I don't want people feeling left out!

I'm Elliott Scott, singing off.

This site is FUNNY! A tribute to our favourite little friend, Cooper Black. What really happened to him. You HAVE to check it out. And I dont just mean in the 'I recomend you to check this out' kind of way. I mean 'the fate of world rests on your shoulders'. Do it!

E-it.

Or tether. Or line. Or whatever.

The sudden rush of enthusiasism has waned due to the lack of response from the company. As a result my shirts are becoming more and more sexual, and or darker subject matter. The sarcasm is increasing, and the funniness is inversely proportional to that.

So here is one I was thinking about for a while. Linus will probably want to kill me, cuz of the obvious typeface: Cooper Black (the retro shirt favourite) and the horrible distortions I've done to it. Also, no grid, text not alligned, and where the hell are the counters? WHY?!???!!!!

Ok, this should be interesting to see his response.
Just a reminder, EVERYONE can reply, not just Linus. I'd like to know the opinions of the not-so-knowlegded-and-snobby.

I also like dining out

Oh, wait a minute! This thing has a double meaning. I so didn't realise. Golly, I am a fool aren't I. Well that's just swell. And keen. And the bee's knee's.

Anyway, I redrawded this one as well. I like it better. But maybe it's too Alphonz Mucha!? With the line work and the flowing hair. I had a real hard time 50's it up. It was from a photograph, so it was hard to replicate.

The colors are really the only thing 50's about it. And perhaps the costume. Not the stockings. But they're sexy, so they're staying.

It was also hard to draw attention to her ... area... without looking like I was drawing attention to it. The soda and the words as well as the curved area should draw your eye in. Should.

Well that's all for me for tonight. I'm still waiting from the company to see if they want any more designs. It was the weekend, so I guess no working for them.

A LIFE LESSON

Hero
Originally uploaded by Elliott Scott.

I don't use the word 'hero' very often, but this brave little soldier is the greatest American hero that has ever lived!

He's just so cute. And furry. And his gun looks so silly. What a little trooper. Brings a tear to my eye.

So I guess you guys have seen all those funny net pitctures before, this one too probably, well I haven't. I shun junk mail, chain letters, and emails from people who think shit is funny....

... which is why I thrust it in YOUR faces. For I would rather be the show-er of crap, than the show-ee.

Good morning. IESSO

It always come down to sex doesn't it? Hmm.. Well I hope you don't think I'm too much of a sexual pervert. SEX SELLS, or some other justification.

As I posted this image up here, I thought of some changes to add. To make the letter 'I' in review clearer I'll add a heart for a dot. And I might add a 50's style pin-up girl sitting at the top. I wasn't sure where to put her, but I think that's a good place.

See... I have a thought process... I don't just do random things, as some people might think I do (I'm looking in your direction Linus).

Ok folks, it's now morning time.
Bed time.

EAT MY SHIRTS

Eat-Out
Originally uploaded by Elliott Scott.

I did this one with young Tanner in mind. Not.. that I wanted to .. uh.. oh never mind. Tanner is always yapping on about the 'great American art of muff diving' (taked from Van Wilder; Party Liaison)...

So I figure if he enjoys it so much, shirley it would make a great t-shirt. Besides. I wanted to do a 50's chick. Damn I love double entendre's.

So yeah, this was the result. "I sure love to EAT OUT". I'm not 100% on the slogan. But it was all I could really come up without thinking too hard.

Parsley

Adding a garnish always turns a mundane meal into a gourmet meal. Even if it is a grease patty, and some fries. A little parsely goes a long way.

Or so zee Germans want us to believe.

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!

I got some feedback from you guys that I've been craving for ages! Honest, thought-out, no-holds-bars criticism. That's not to say that I like having my work cut to shreds, but sometimes I can't see if there is a problem.

Linus's comment was honest. I appreciate it. He was right about somethings, confirmed things I was already thinking, and suggested things that I might not agree with, but wouldnt have thought of either.

TO LINUS:

I agree with ya buddy about the 2D vs. 3D problem. I'll stick with 2D. Dont want the isometric look. NEVER been a fan of it.

I agree with you that the word "Boom" isn't nessessary. I was thinking that myself. I just wanted someone to confirm it.

I disagree with the 'ghetto' look. I don't like that either. Not what I'm after. I'd prefer clean and sketched, than distressed and urban. Not my skiing.

FOR THE REST OF YOU:
gimme some opinions too. I certainly value them.

Also, I jumped in the pool today when I was stressing over a busted iPod. So what? I was fully clothed! I had my hat and shoes on even. And a tie too! It was funny. And a good wakeup call.
