JOOOHN!!! OMFG woman. What did you just DO to me over here?!! ARGHH!! I swear it's like I'm like a damn blow dryer in a bathtub XD I can't even think straight. Just holy hell! <3 But seriously, I love you so much! <3 This is AMAZING! Just eeeesh.... the heart spasm this gives me! Again coherency is just not my friend tonight XD I mean just the colors in this alone. They're so gorgeous! It just amazes me that this is your first attempt on lighting like this. This turned out so incredibly. Seriously, I'm hopelessly in love with all these bright rich oranges! And those lavender pinks in his collar too! Augh! I just love those! <3<3 I swear your coloring is always so vivid & beautiful. I love what your always able to do with them. My God Juno and that FACE of his. o.x Ugh! That faaaaace. It's so CHILLING D: It's definitely got to be those eyes for me I think. They're just all tiny & beady & crazed & UGH! I swear it's like I can't even look at them that long before they start unsettling me. He just looks so damn feral! D8 Wow and what you did with his hair in the face. I love that so much <3 It's so disheveled & stringy & all over the place. It totally pushes that whole maddening appearance to him. Almost like spreading extra crazy onto a 12 layer schitzo dip. XD But Just ugh *shudder* John really needs to... get a hold of some effing medication there or something. Or at least be kept away from anything flammable before he burns half the damn town down. D: And honestly, the most amazing part of all of this? It's going to sound a little off the wall here but it's totally got to be that title. A little WTF I know, but if you really only knew how much that blew my mind seeing it. You just have no idea. Seriously, If I wasn't certain some kind of mind link existed before I think I'm entirely convinced now. It's like this stuff is almost otherworldly sometimes XD But yeah anyway, whats got me in such a retarded flail-a-thon here is just knowing that you did this having been directly inspired by Dan but not knowing at all that Covetous is actually Dan's nickname for like.. everything online (and has been for years). Seriously, it's in his web address, his e-mail, even the registered name of half his programs. I don't know. It's know it's just coincidental funsies but still.. part of me just found that entirely too whoah! It's almost like I half expected the twilight zone music to just appear y'know XD But again whatever inspired you to come up with that, it's one awesome coincidence. Even Dan was like 'wow how funny is that?' Haha but hey, hooray for more happy accidents right! Wow and as long as we're on the subject of awesome. Igor! <3<3 Woman, you aren't kidding about being a total tool. With incentive like that I think we'd -both- be totally in prison lol in such trouble XD Just eesh.. could that man be any more magnificent convincing X) God forbid he smooth talk like that all the time. Half the town would probably be dead about now. XD But wow, I'm in just love with how magnificently in character you managed to keep him here. He's so perfectly slick & devilish <3 It's something I wish I were able to do more myself actually. I don't know why but somehow I always just feel like I lose a bit of his personality whenever I do tardy stuff like this. It's like all that guarded proper-ness of his just goes right out the window. XD Again though, I just love how much of his personality you always manage to keep in tact. His mannerisms always turns out so perfect <3 I'm really digging your idea with the whole ma'am/Juno thing too, BTW. That's something I could totally see. Likewise, I love how you also centered the whole idea around manipulation. That's our Igor! XD But hey we wouldn't want him any other way right? <3 Which almost makes me a tiny bit envious for Juno there actually. I mean getting to enjoy all those "job perks" & all XD Lucky thing. Aw well Raine still has... John? *cry* XD I swear, I just can't get enough of your ideas. <3 I need to get off my stupid duff already & finish those icebergs I keep running my trap about promising you. As long as I have Igor on the mind though, I've been meaning to mention this for a while now but regarding the RP thread; I'm not sure if you were interested in it all? (I know I sort of unintentionally killed it all with my all time limitations there D:) But anyway, I just wanted to mention that if it ever did start back up again; you're more then welcome to inherit Igor there from me if you ever wanted to. I adored playing him like nobody's business but eh.. the time thing here is just not my friend anymore { At least not for that kind of thing. Anyway, I just wanted to throw it out there since I've actually been meaning to a while now. Again, I'm not sure what interest is left in any of it anymore or if that kind of thing even appeals to you but again.. if you ever wanted you're definitely more then welcome to grab him all up to carry that torch for me XD You keep him so fantastically in character. I just couldn't imagine anyone better suited <3 Also wow and speaking of torches there, poor John! XD HOMG the laughter that flew through the room here from that last panel! Bad trip! Bad trip! Oooh, but what I wouldn't GIVE to watch a freakout of that magnitude! XD It would be so epic. I swear all he needs to see now are some unholy hell spiders & the entertainment for those two would just be gold. XD Sadly, it's probably so true to his character though. I mean with as much negativity as that guy surrounds himself with he probably would have the worst nightmare trip ever a pretty hellish experience D: I love that you decided to go that route with him, BTW. It's definitely more fitting then all the rainbow funtime happy stuff I probably would've done XD Plus that dialogue! Sweet mercy woman just stuff you come up with. I love how amazingly creative you are. <3 It's always so awesome! I'm especially loving all of Johns smack talk over that sandwich there too. I swear I'm like you. I just can't get enough of him being such a hypocritical jerk either. It just never gets old. And what a total d*ck unappreciative jerk he is too. He should be lucky he gets fed period. I swear Louise should leave Juno & Raine in charge more often then maybe that poor girl might actually get some thanks for once. Of course I love Juno's O' HAIL NAW there too! Better watch yourself John.. your chef just went & got all gangsta on you XD Oh I swear though just the truly ghetto fabulous tardery this all inspires out of me now ;D I have a feeling there's going to be some real crack here in the next coming days. XD Haha and Raine even gets an awesome face. How cool. ;D Lulz, ftw! Awww, and the last (first?) one. I guess I'm working backwards tonight lol. Salon John Louise <3 X) Hehehehe, Oh I'm way too amused at the idea of him getting pseudo permed here I think. XD Not to mention all your thuper ideas for those two. OMG, just the whole thing about them & the Ben & Jerrys. I seriously about spit out my drink reading that XD I totally want to draw them watching weepy movies & talking about their periods cute boys now XD But *ahem* wow, he's just living it up there like a regular sultan huh? I swear what a total lush for attention. It's like he just lives to be pampered & adored. As if his face didn't totally give it away. God I just love the expression you gave him so much. It makes me melt <3<3 He's just so hurpy derpy X) Like he's in total heaven there <3 God, seeing this totally makes me bet now he'd girl out so bad in a hot bath. XD He'd be all in there with his book of stories & his flowered bubble bath. It would probably be so true. Wow and Louise! I love how totally professional she looks about this whole thing. She's so skilled! Even though geez.. she's just about turned into his slave anymore D: I swear, she should be a total b*tch here & tell him she found a gray hair. I bet that would shatter his little bliss bubble XD Plus y'know.. maybe it would get her out of hair duty there for a while ;D Awww, I'm so happy you enjoyed all my crippled scrawlings postings. Your so nice to me <3 Seriously, I feel so bad not having cleaner things to post up here more often (I always hate how sloppy my sketches are) But it warms my heart to know you enjoy them all the same <3 I'm touched too knowing you value our time here as much as I do <3 You echo my own thoughts so deeply. If only you knew how much of that was wholeheartedly reciprocated here. <3 I mean it. Being able to know you & Lourdes & to have so much fun creating here all together... it's the best thing to happen to me in so so long. I swear it really is like you border on some bizarre drug habit for me now XD But really I wouldn't have it any other way <3 Just thinking about it makes me realize how happy I am that our paths were able to cross. Your both such wonderful people & it only adds to that pot of awesome that we would happen to be so like minded. I feel so incredibly fortunate that we even came across each other at all sometimes. <3 I hope you guys always know even if Duckula grew old, our drawing hands fell off & this forum exploded into flames I'd never grow tired of either of you XD Seriously, how could I? I think I'd combust from withdrawl trying Wow & I know what you mean on the productivity thing. Whatever art slump I was in before has been so painfully annihilated. Thank God too. For so long there there the mental burn out I was having was just destroying my drive. I'm so relieved for it to finally be gone now. It's seriously like having a great mental dam of some kind finally being broken & unleashed. I'm so grateful to both of you for being able to do that for me <3 The improvements I've made during all this too only make it all the better. Likewise, I'm so happy to know you've been able to get as faster at things as I have! I definitely notice it too. Again, it makes me so glad. <3 I know for the longest time it used to take me forever to do a finished piece & anymore it's like that times been cut in half. Igor & Agnes I finished same day which about blew my mind. Before then I swear it would've taken me at least 3 to do something like that. Same with my friends birthday piece. When it was done I was just like wow.. this only took me 5 hours? Is that all? XD But indeed it makes me so thrilled to know your able to make those same strides too now. <3 I think It definitely shows in your work. Especially in all your sketches! Your lines just get so much more fluid every time I see them. I can really tell you're getting more confident with things. I'm really touched, BTW, to know you would ever value my opinion as highly as you do. That really means a lot to me. Especially since I'm hardly an expert here let alone the most articulate. Seriously I feel like all I do is squee & flail at you half the time anymore But I'm glad you know what I say is with the utmost sincerity. It's so true! I mean I know I compliment a lot but I would never feel right about just dishing out blind praise either, especially to anyone still trying to grow artistically. That kind of thing can just be so misleading & counter productive and I see it all the time how badly it effects some people on Deviant Art. It's like enough folks tell someone they're great & they suddenly feel they don't have to grow anymore. It's just damaging. D: Not that it isn't nice to hear of course but yeah.. I don't know. It would never be worth it to me watching someone stunt their potential before it even begins either. That would just be terrible. :C I mean as much as I love gleeing over your work I could never allow myself to be dishonest with you like that. I'd just end up feeling like I was hitting some kind of giant kill switch on you or something. I'd never be able to forgive myself {:/ Especially because I do see so much potential there in your stuff. Seriously, the work your going to be capable of one day is just so promising to me. Always know I would never want you to stop growing. No matter what, there's always going to be room for improvement. Hell, my own work still has plenty of it's own flaws. (hands, anatomy, perspective D:) We would both end up losing so much if we ever stopped learning & that's something I would never want for you. I mean it, never stop knowing you can always achieve greater.. no matter how much I do hopelessly love what you do for me Haha and wow and speaking of "love" I have to tell you I just about DIED from what you said about Juno & John there. XDXD Homg.. I swear I almost needed like.. a beer after reading that XD Haha, or at the very least something to de-red my face because eeesh.. just the flash flood blushing that gave me. It was pretty damn unholy. XD What can I say though wouldn't he just be in heaven? I guess it would be one way to stop him? XD But seriously, if that were the case I don't think he'd be bothering any witch for a long long time.. or lol maybe it would just make him even worse? I don't know But wow yeah, I swear that wasn't my intention! XD Cross my heart she's actually supposed to be there. I just erased her out because I thought it might be better to focus in on Johns expression. Plus all you could see was her hair really so I was just like eh.. I'll crop it out & show off Johns face. And...what a face I guess? XD But hey wherever your mind wants to travel is not a problem by me. I REALLY don't think Johns going to mind Hell, if anything it would probably mellow him the f- out But wow yeah.. sorry. I totally didn't mean to just hit you with a bullet train of WTF there. I hope you know that wasn't at all my goal XD And so long as I'm still on John here I can't thank you enough for your thoughts on the 'games' piece. God could you possibly make me smile any more? <3 I swear I'm so overjoyed it's probably ridiculous. Just all your thoughts regarding Ven's portrait though. I'm so thrilled you picked up on that that! <3 It was one of those things I was really hoping to subtly work in there. I'm so ecstatic that it was able to give the effect I was hoping for. Yay! X) Although To be honest , I never gave much thought about it dangling in between them like that. That part wasn't at all intentional. Another happy accident I guess? But yeah wow. I totally see what you mean there and I agree, it's incredibly symbolic in that sense. Especially considering had Ven stayed alive, he really would have been the only thing there between them. I mean with him alive John would've never been able to get away with this kind of thing. Christ Ven would've beaten his @ss in for sure. I know it. I mean not that Ven's exactly a fighty guy but him seeing John put his hands on her? There's just no way I could see that not happening D: But eesh.. yeah I love your thoughts on this so so much <3 Seriously, this is why I just love discussing stuff with you. It's like you always end up leaving me with these amazing open doors. It's just so awesome! <3 Speaking of which, it's interesting what you brought up about the sanctity of her home being violated. I swear you just couldn't be more right with these things. <3 Indeed, it's extremely difficult for her watching him ruin what little she has but the real blow I never mentioned is that he's also (unknowingly) wrecking Ven's house. Before Raine became his apprentice the house actually belonged to him & served as a place where he could study & practice all his alchemical theories in peace. It wasn't until after the two of them grew closer did it really start to become anything like a home to either of them. So yeah.. sadly it's sort of like a double blow to Raine. :/ It's also sort of my reasoning though behind why she continues to stay too. I know I've seen you mention the idea of her moving a couple times which had this been any other place I think she definitely would've by now. I agree it would make perfect sense for her to! But yeah {:/ Given the memories attached & the amount of Ven's stuff that's still left there (his clothing, books, alchemical tools, & his scientifically valuable notes) the thought of leaving there just never seems like an option to her. It's another one of those things she actually struggles with and also part of my reasoning too why she puts up as much of a fight as she does. There's so much there to her to defend. Plus I mean.. her watching John throwing around her dead lovers stuff.. Hell, I think that would put anyone in a rage. Speaking of which, I'm totally working on a little short now to explain the whole picture frame incident. It's a little dark but I think you'll like it :3 Which reminds me, I'm all a-glee to know you're a fan of Secret of NIMH. I used to love that movie as a kid. Well.. and I still do now of course but wow yeah that so awesome to know you share the same appreciation for it. When I was little it was probably my favorite movie next to Unico. For me, I always remember being able to admire it because it was one of the only few animated movies back then that was dark. So much animation just never showed anything like that & I remember just loving how realistic it all seemed. Even though yeah.. the idea of a magical she-ra amulet is hardly realistic is it? XD But how cool! I'm so happy to know I can nerd out with you on something else now. I love your sketch of Jeremy & Ms B., BTW. They look so cute & I think you did a really decent job on Jeremy! :3 I should maybe give Ms. Brisby & Nicodemus a shot sometime. That was always one of my favorite scenes <3 Well and so long as we're nerding out, it thrills me that you & Lourdes are video games fans. Sadly, I don't play a whole lot of stuff anymore but as far as old school Nintendo goes there's so much love. I swear no matter what new games come & go it will never beat all the old stuff to me. Of course part of that's probably due to the fact that I don't own any systems besides the NES & SNES. XD But haha yes, I'm so glad to see that you two like all those old titles as much as I did. Sadly I've never played Castlevania but I do remember old school Zelda & of course Mario. Mario was definitely my favorite back then. Along with a whole lot of Capcom games & the first Dragon Warrior. And of course all the stupid stuff too like Duck Hunt, Joust & Excitebike XD But damn all this talk definitely makes me want to go find an old copy of Castlevania & give it a try now. It's actually one of those games I kinda regret not playing just because so many people did really like it. Also, Lourdes thank you so much for offering to share Castlevania stuff. That's really nice of you! <3 I think I'd definitely love to give a listen to the soundtrack sometime. From what little I've heard I really love it. Also thank you so much woman for all the amazing paintings. Seriously please, these are by no means boring! I love them all! If anything I only hope you'll keep posting more. I seriously love this kind of stuff. Especially for inspiration. I am right there with you on that! I swear, so many of my best ideas come directly from looking at stuff like this. There's just something about it that always ignites my brain. Especially engravings for some reason. God I just love those. It's like I totally want to do that with these characters sometime. Probably in a looser engraving style though kind of like this; murraycreek.net/return/book2/b2p2fg08phoenix.jpgBut I swear I just I think it would just be so fitting. Maybe someday when I figure out how to make it look good I'll make something like that. ;D In the meantime though, please do post more paintings. I love seeing them Also, please don't apologize for a second on your English. D: OMG, woman I'm thrilled enough that you write to me. I could care less about what errors are there! {XD Seriously, It might take me a while to get back to you but I always understand what you say just fine. Please don't ever worry! Wow so is it finally pong tiem now? I do think so XD Again I suck for being so 2000 and late. I actually intended to post for a few nights now but kept pulling a grandpa simpson & falling asleep in my chair after midnight. Last night it was actually with my wacom XP I seriously woke up about 40 minutes later & was just like WTF is wrong with me... XD So yeah.. I'm so sorry about that but mostly because I hate dragging here so much. I love our daily pong so much & I'm getting to the point where I'm truly hating that work makes me this tired. Seriously, I need to figure out something to do about it.. maybe like drink way more caffeine nap for an hour when I get home or something? I don't know but I'll have to figure something out soon here. I hate having to miss out on you guys this long. :/ Good news though is I did at least try to make up for it tonight! Seriously, I think this is more pong then I've done in a while. It's definitely not the end of it though! XD At last a comic for you for once I swear I have tons more of these I want to do for you but they just take me so long D: I'm glad I could at least finish this one up though. With as many comics as you've done for me you deserve the same joy. I only hope this can deliver <3 It was definitely a lot of fun even though yeah.. Veneficus has a lot to answer for now XD Famous Last Words i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/FamousLastWords01.jpgi666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/FamousLastWords02.jpgi666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/FamousLastWords03.jpgi666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/FamousLastWords04.jpgi666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/FamousLastWords05.jpgi666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/FamousLastWords06.jpgi666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/FamousLastWords07.jpgShe Can't Wait i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/SheCantWait.jpgI swear I couldn't help it XD Science! i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/science.jpgAnd lastly a fun little graphic-y thing based off a series of shirts I love. www.vectorvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/wearscience_vectorvault.gifI swear I feel so bad not drawing Horst more often so I don't know.. I just had to this for the poor guy. It's so fitting after all XD If you ever want I'll try to see if I can make this into an actual shirt for you sometime. I doubt my boss would mind so long as we're not busy X)

Forgive the massive amount of typos that surely plague this post. I have my plasma appointment in the morning, and thusly don't quite have the time to fix it up >>; JESUS MARY AND JOSEPH WHERE DO I START?!! 8D Woman! Seriously! xD You're out to murder me, I swear! All of these just had me completely, HOMG! I'll just go at it all in order, cause lady, you've done my brain go explode all over Lakeland, I will never be able to find all the pieces again <3 <3 The Comic! xDDDDD I honestly never saw THAT coming, haha! This must be payback for making you blush, good lord! And I was over at my friend Ashley's house too xDD I aroused very much suspicion and strange glances, lol One second my face is the flaming color of the sun the next I burst out laughing x) Seriously though, her fiance Joey was giving me the oddest looks, haha But lord! Candyman doth return! 8D Raine was hella right to worry about her! Looks like John finally got his ah, happy ending xDDD Poor POOR?! Juno, man, the way she got up, holy crap, I was like 'Jeezus John, how the hell rough with her WERE you?!' xD Especially if your first reaction getting up is telling your daterape victim 'little darlin' where the aspirin is, and that he keeps it THAT close 8DDD Do you uh... do you do this often, John? lol Again, not so poor Juno, getting ten levels of effed the hell up and then... and then this xD I.... I just can't bring myself to feel that bad for her :D Thank you SO much for this comic though <3 <3 Man, like 7 pages of full on color awesomesauce, that's so much more effort than mine get xDDD I love it! Ven, you got some splainin' to doooo~ 8) But argh, yeah, JOHN. Jesus xD If it's wrong to feel this attracted to a crazed psychotic religious fanatic, then so be it, to hell with being good! I swear woman, he is like, my sole exception to my love of older gents. I could blather on about how off the effing wall hot he is ahem, ah good looking he is, but yanno... my glazed over stare and open drooling conveys so much more x) Oh Igor, how I feel I have wronged you, but lawrdy, hot damn xD Okay okay, gonna try to not make this be a wildly long wall of text (even though I get the feeling it'll be anyways, lol) Like, you don't even know how funny it is that you made Juno into CD-i Link xDDDD Indeed, it now graces my DevArt as my new ID 8DDD My first reaction upong seeing this? "MAH BOOOOOOOI!!" I couldn't help it xDDDD I love this! haha, the Zelda fangirl in me writhes in dorky glee! I've since listened to the Dodongo song like, ten times x) Looking at this too, haha, poor Juno, her hair is really not that much different from CD-i Links, hurr 8D Thank you so much for this xD It's a never ending parade of awesome on here, I swear <3 And lastly, Horst <3 AAAWWRGH, I love you! I can't believe you made something so awesome! And that you'd offer to make it as a shirt for me (I would wear it like, every day!) That's so sweet of you <3 I can't afford it now though D: Financial luck, turn for me in the future xD But yeah, that has got to be the greatest series of shirts I have ever seen xD I've never run across them before! I totally want some now, lol But I am so thrilled that you'd make this for Horst XD He had such meager beginnings, and look at him now, practically famous! He's like, be so delighted with this too, he'd feel so accomplished <3 But yeah man, toss up the horns for crazy dinosaur crazyness 8) Ah science x3 God, woman, I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate everything we have here. I feel so incredibly lucky to have met you guys (even though we've ah, taken over the board Might start just calling it 'Johnnyboos' lol haha) But really, it's so fortunate. Everything in my house has deteriorated once more (as in, I have about 2 weeks to find a job before I have to take a hike D: Indeed, I've pretty much been told to go ahead and pack up, 'just in case' DDDDDD: I still have hopes this won't actually happen though, but uh... time will tell I guess) But aside from that ugliness, really. In all the vast wide internets, I couldn't have come across the best place in the world <3 I'm just blessed to know you both! And man, Raine, this is gonna sound like over-sappy fangirly foolishness, but befriending you is sorta like a dream come true to me xD At the risk of sounding overly-complimenting, it's like hanging out with your favorite singer, or tv star. I hadn't had terribly long to become aquainted with your work, but in the short time man, you blew me away! And of course I was hook line and sinker for your Igor stuff xD Anyone that could draw him that way and appreciate him that much HAD to be cool in my book! And that reminds me, I adore your Igor, shush! I've never seen you lose any of his character, quite the contrary, I have always admired the way you handled his features especially, you always gave him that devilish charm. I have longed aspired to reach that standard xD And I'm pleased to know that I'm getting there! Aah, and yes, thank you also for thinking I would be good enough to carry that torch for you <3 I certainly do do that sort of thing! hehe. Yes, I am actually a rather accomlished RPer, in my humble opinion, lol. Heather and I have had quite a go at Duckula as well (I resisted playing Igor, since I was worried my adoration for him would sort of skew my view of him, hehe Still, I think I could do an admirable job if I tried) I was actually playing Goosewing in that one. I should illustrate some of it, it was quite good. It was definitely inspired by some of Lourdes' take on him in her fictions, but rather VG was coming to know the family in a way that they weren't all bloodthirsty psychos (namely people like Lucrezia. God I love her) But yeah, if it ever picks up again I'd be thilled the have a go at him! Lourdes has suggested this to me before actually, and if you should ever want to step in, I certainly don't mind sharing <3 :D Okay, this is about 5000 levels of nonrelated, but something effing creepy just happened right now as I write this. My computer is situated in our over large living room which is sort of broken up into two sections (living room and 'computer area' if you will) the pc is in the corner right next to the wall that beyond that leads into our dining room and then into our kitchen. Holycrap I swear I just saw someone walk through the arch leading into the living room :/ That was ah... disturbing. Barely caught a glance and then it was gone, I thought it was Pat for a second, but um, he went upstairs to bed an hour ago and would have had to walk right behind me to get to the kitchen in the first place. Cue Twilight Zone music now 8D This isn't the first time stuff like this has happened here though. I'll be upstairs, home alone, and from downstairs I'll hear something like dancey salsa music coming from the downstairs. I'll walk down the steps to investigate and the music stops abruptly as soon as I hit the landing. None of us listen to salsa, either 8D It might not even be salsa, for all I know, it's some Spanish type dancing music, like you might dance the tango to it or something to that extent. Forgive my non-knowledge of Spanish music styles >>; Aaaanyways 8D Actually man, speaking of kinda creepy stuff, holycow about Dan! Covetous, that's not your everyday thing 8D What a complete shot in the dark, haha. I just picked it because.... I dunno, it just struck me xD I had been watching Silence of the Lambs, and they were discussing how one goes about coveting on there and it occured to me that John is so totally that type, and in a word he was 'Covetous' 8D I hadn't planned to use it for the title, but it was the only thing I could think of xD Glad I did now though, I guess, haha! You guys prolly think I'm some sort of wacko stalker, lol Okay xD Pong Time! I give you warning, it's a rediculously long pong tonight 8D I felt so horribly guilty about missing last night (I know it's just one night, but I felt so bad!) That I ended up drawing a TON today xD It's all scrappy nonsense but uh... yeah xD alu87.deviantart.com/art/Girl-Talk-125285502First up for tonights lineup xD I LOVED what you said about John girling out over his bath, haha xDDD So I had to run with it, I just had to. And I thought I was bastardizing him before x3 Kudos to anyone who guesses what he's listening to, lol alu87.deviantart.com/art/A-Curious-Fetish-125285626This is what I get for not being able to stop my maddening curiosity at a friends house xD Of course people start staring when I have that lovely undressed John all up over their like, 22 inch monitor xDDDD I sorta inadvertently killed my own joke here though, lol drawing Ashley and I as avians, ha whooops 8) Poor Ashley, she must fear for my mental health (if nothing more, hehe) alu87.deviantart.com/art/ON-A-BOAT-round-deux-125285713Warning for uncensored language xD But yes. Ashley and Joey (whom I spent the weekend with) recently acquired a boat. Thus I had my first time ever riding in one! The Ferry at Disney doesn't count, lol It's a fast little thing! This resulted in my first time going 'tubing' as well, which I had not even known what that was before that day. But yeah, me being the dork I am totally got up at the bow of their boat as Joey is racing us along at 150 mph and yelled to the lake 'I'm on a F*CKING BOAT!' 8D There was no one else there, it's all good, haha. More strange looks from my poor traumatized friends, lol. Good thing we've known each other for like, ten years, haha. It was a wonderful day namely in the fact that it was cloudy. There were sparse rays of sun, thank god or else I'd have gotten burnt REALLY bad, lol. You see, my legs have not seen the light of the sun in like, 3 years xD I've lived in Florida for about 9 years now, and I have been to the beach FOUR times, I kid you not. Hopefully we can go back soon, I really actually like it there. Back in my gothy mcubergoth days though, I was more than pleased to keep my plaster white skin indoors. Which is what my legs still were before saturday. Seriously, I am capable of being so pale, it's like my skin is reflective D: it's really bad on the inside of my forearms, they don't seem to get any sun no matter the tone of the rest of my skin. They're so pale you can creepily see a lot of the veins all the way from my wrist to shoulder Dx And to think that my great grandparents on both sides were 100% Native American.... As my brother Eric so fondly put it my DNA 'kicked out the injuns to keep the good European blood in' Everyone else in the family is very tan, no matter what. My mother used to be so tan people thought she was black 8D alu87.deviantart.com/art/All-the-Pretty-Hair-125285837Randomness you say? xD I noticed after drawing quite a bit of Ven that he and John and Louise have this like, monopoly on the really spiffy looking hair. Juno and Raine have... really rather average hair xD A ponytail and short cropped tussled thing (sorry Raine, you make it work though!) Thus this happened xD alu87.deviantart.com/art/The-Shocking-Injustice-125285957John would be exactly like this 8D Horst deserves it <3 And Agnes would be so proud of him too 8) Even though poor Horst kinda doesn't know what to do with this attention, and would rather be back in the lab xD alu87.deviantart.com/art/Happy-Horst-125286109But he's secretly really happy about it <3 alu87.deviantart.com/art/Replacement-125286025More tardery xD Raine gets creative with all those bottles laying around... much to Vens dismay 8D It's for your own good, Ven! And I hear vinegar is actually good for you. So uh... it's beneficial in so many ways 8D alu87.deviantart.com/art/Gator-Watch-125286198More fun from my trip out to the lake nearby. It's one of the few lakes here in Lakeland that isn't completely infested with gators. Thus we felt relatively safe to tube and swim and stuff. But yeah, using Ven and John as examples, this actually happened xD Joey and Ashley's dad, Mike, like to have... kind of vicious fun with eachother xD Mike was driving like a madman as Joey tubed, and on a whim decided to go REALLY close to the shore, slingshotting Joey just about onto the bank xD He turned and yelled at him to check for gators xD Then let out this truly magnificent grade-A vincent price level evil cackle x) Poor Ashley, she was freaking out xD Joey ended up getting flipped off the tube and skidded across the water, it looked rather painful xD Good thing we play safe and wear life jackets, lol alu87.deviantart.com/art/About-that-Aspirin-125287684And finally xD I can't figure out why she's running. YOU'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY JUNO! xDDDD Or maybe that's just me, lol Oh yes, and I had forgotten to mention - Don't feel bad about not being able to post very often <3 I'm just glad that you're part of my life at all! And it is ALWAYS way worth the wait <3 But really, I'd hate for you to throw your sleep schedule all out of whack :/ We'd love to hear from you more, of course, but I'm content to be patient <3 :)

So wow has it been long enough here or what? Just eesh.. what a week. I swear I'm so happy to have my free time back. Freedom.. freedom at last! Haha, God I must sound so sad. I miss a week & here I am talking like it's been forever. But what can I say. I love this place so much. I really do miss it when I'm gone. Wow so where to even start with everything? I swear it's like I've fallen into a pong dragon's hord. Ugh, I can't even believe I had to leave it all hanging for so long. I'm so ashamed! John especially deserved far better attention then that XD Not that he didn't already have enough with his little darlin' there But *ahem* yes.. the attention he merited here.. just hoooo MAN <3<3 Talk about putting me in an early grave. Just mother of pearl woman! X3 I swear that was nothing short of riding a week long buzz over here. (A buzz made up of a bird men apparently) But eesh just - ROWR! <3<3 I swear, Juno's far too lucky there to be running away. XD Or maybe not given the circumstances? God that poor girl. I never even realized how roughed up she looks the horrible implications of how uh.. accustomed he must be to this type of thing. XD It's all so clear now! But wow yeah.. I guess you have kind of a point there. I mean he was lighting ready to whip out that aspirin after all. Ugh.. John.. why must you be such a gorgeous bastard freak of nature? Just... dammitall ;D And wow judging from that bath I can certainly see where those looks come from. Good Lord could there BE any more estrogen in there?? XD Hahaha! Oh man it's SO much better then I had ever envisioned. Seriously, I can't get over how magnificently over the top everything is. I love it! XD Just the fanciness of it all <3 And he's so elaborate with his candles and nail polish. Oh God & the phone. *just dies* I swear him on that phone just MAKES this whole thing! Who's he even talking to anyway? His mom? lol. OMG but just that bit about burning Raine. I seriously about died. Definitely thankful I wasn't drinking anything XD And wow Alanis Morisette too? Now that's what I call a mighty fembath XD Oh man and your poor friend. I can only imagine her reaction to John there XD I do share your pain here though. Not so much with my own friends thankfully, but any public lunch breaks I take... I definitely have to watch what I sketch. Not that anything I ever draw is too out of the ordinary but yeah.. I know exactly what you mean. Even if it's bird people standing around & smiling it's still y'know.. bird people & it's just a bit much to have to explain to nosy strangers people. I love your explanation much better though. Haha, that's totally what I'll to have to say next time. I'll just follow your lead & be all like; haha what? you're crazy!' Then hell.. maybe I'd actually get left alone XD I'm happy to know Ashley's such a trooper though. My own friends are pretty similar. It's like they've just known me for so long nothing phases them anymore. Plus it helps that they all draw & have characters of their own too. Makes it kind of hard for any of us to point fingers I guess. But indeed, it's so good that she could be there for you last weekend. I'm so glad <3 Especially since you were able to make such a nice weekend out of it all. And on a boat at that! How awesome! Oh man if only your friends had been able to know what you were going on about. I bet they would've enjoyed that clip XD Still, I'm ecstatic enough just seeing you enjoyed it that much! But it's ok, if I were on a boat I know that would be heard out of me too XD Oh man and TUBING! Oh how I miss tubing so much! <3 I only ever went once with a family friend of ours. (Only friend we knew who had a boat) but oh man.. we seriously had the best time. Our friend Don.. God I swear that man was just the greatest. Even now I still remember him taking me & Bill out and well.. thankfully our experience wasn't quite as bad as all THIS here XD But yeah I don't know.. I guess it wasn't exactly unlike it either. Fortunately being in VA though there were at least no gators to contend with. But wow yeah.. you aren't kidding about playing rough huh. I swear get two guys together & it really is like watching an episode of jackass they immediately try to kill each other isn't it? XD Oh man but I can't even imagine having the element of gators added in on top of that all. Poor Joey. Sounds like he had quite the adventure there...cartwheeling across the lake & all. No wonder Ashley had a righteous freak out. God I so love that you interpreted that whole situation using John & Ven. That couldn't be more perfect! <3 Oh man and Ven. I don't think I tell you nearly enough how much I just love the way you draw him! <3 Especially out on the water here with his awesome sunshades. So hot lovely <3 X) So nice to see him getting back at John for once too. Guess John better learn how to hang on extra good. Ven's about to unleash the fury tear him up (& look good doing it!) Wow and speaking of tore up, how I love your replacement comic. <3 Just the whole idea of Raine finding new uses for those bottles (and then not telling him XD). That's so fantastic! Poor Ven though. What an unhappy surprise. XD Still I suppose it is at least better then some horrible witches potion or something right? I'd so love to see Raine trying to convince him of beneficial properties here. That would just go over SO well lol. Man and as always, your expressions on them are complete perfection. Just the overwhelming look of horror on Vens face. It's so beautiful! X) <3 Wow and I guess I might as well include John here in that too because holy hell just the massive butthurt on that face of his! Oh he is sooo jealous. XD God poor Horst. His one shining moment i the limelight & there John is ruining it with his mouth. I love how Raine totally tells him to STFU though. Like everyone there wasn't secretly thinking it anyway XD And awwww Agnes & Juno! They're both so proud of him <3 Indeed good for you Horst. You at least deserve your 15 minutes.. even if you are all WTF about it. XD I love his expression so much, BTW. Best 'who the hell are you' face ever. Awww, and it's so sweet that he secretly loves everything <3 Seriously, what a charming quirk. I'm so glad you decided to make him sort of introverted that way. I could totally see it too. Especially with Agnes being such a 'in your face' personality type. This kind of thing just works as such a perfect compliment for the two of them. Plus it's so nice to see that even though Horst may have his faults (& in a lot of cases his priories mixed up) at least he's not a self promoting do*chebag sensationalist about what he does. Though this does make me wonder what went wrong with Goosewing now. Guess those humble genes must skip a generation? XD Awww and the last one <3 or... 4th one? Oh well. Order be damned I guess. But lol yes; excellent observation.. and so true too. I have no idea why but my male characters really do inherit all the best hair. Again, I wish I knew. I guess I must just really like guy hair <3 Poor Juno & Raine though. They really do need to hit up a salon or something sometime & get a new do. Then they'd be styling & totally give those three a run for their money. XD Also, unrelated but I'm totally loving all the little FWAHS you added. <3 Hehehe, such faaabulous sound effects X) God & I just adore John fake brushing his hair there too. How oh so primpy XD I doubt he'd have it any other way though. Wow! So I'm also stoked you liked the shirt graphic so much. That makes me so thrilled <3 And a pox on your finances woman, I'd be more then happy to make your shirt. To be honest there would no cost involved anyway. Anything I want to make there I'm basically allowed to do for free so long as it's just a personal print. So yeah, whenever the presses aren't jammed up, I'd be more then happy to. :3 And even that shouldn't be much of a problem really, especially now that the NBA finals are over. Ugh I swear for the last month & a half it's been nothing but Orlando Magic everywhere. So glad that's over with D: Which reminds me , I remember you asking if I did any touristy stuff? I'm sorry that ended up escaping me. I swear my memory gets worse here every day But anyway yeah, I guess I do actually do a little, but probably not the kind of Floricrap stuff you'd be thinking of. Not to say it isn't still ridiculously touristy but yeah.. thankfully nothing next to clams with googly eyes or anything XD If anything it's mostly just stuff like biker bars, parks, city jobs and more often then anything, independents who want some fantastically redneck stuff. Case in point, that line I worked on a few weeks back was probably about as redneck as it gets. (www.buckedupshirts.com) So yeah I don't know. It's still pretty touristy but not quite 'chandelier made of shells' level I guess. At least not yet anyway. I am certain at some point in my life though a gator in a snow globe will end up being drawn XD But anyway, like I said I will definitely be happy to print up something for you when I'm able to. It wouldn't cost me anything but time & that I'm happy to give <3 Plus like I said I'm just amazed you would even like it that much. The ones I based it off of I thought were so much funnier. XD But hey so long as you like it I really couldn't be happier :3 Also, fangirliness be damned, I'm incredibly touched by what you said earlier. I can't even begin to tell you how much that all means. And I know I probably sound so over sappy here myself but it's so true & I feel so fortunate being able to know you too. It's not often I come across folks I connect with so easily let alone share so much in common with. I feel so truly blessed. And just being able to know that you value our time as much as I do... that means so much to me. <3 Again, (I'm aware that I'm probably giving the board cavities by now) but always know how much I appreciate our time here too. You & Lourdes are two of the most wonderful people I've ever had the chance of coming across. I swear if I could talk to you both all day I would <3 But I guess that's what pongs for huh? And wow what a cavalcade of stuff I have here. So happy to finally be sharing it again <3 Fredrich Portrait i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/FredPortrait.jpgFinally some art of Fredrich <3 Sorry it took me so long to draw you up something decent for him Lourdes. I've actually been wanting to take a shot at him for a couple weeks now. :3 Again, I just love learning more about him. He's such an interesting fellow X3 Rainy Day Juno i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/RainyDayJuno.jpgJust a fun little idea I had musing about Juno's life in the castle. I don't know if she'd find the sound of rain as relaxing as I do but I imagine if she did this would probably be the kind of get up she'd have. XD Looks pretty comfy though I think. Guess she best just hope Igor doesn't find out. I'm pretty sure he'd snatch a spot like that right up. Did He Now? i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/IBetHeDid.jpgBecause I'm so mature. Poor Louise. The Day Is Mine! i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/IHateMyJob.jpgI.. don't even know anymore. XD Boom Boom Pow i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/Floridageddon.jpgPretty much the reason there was no pong last night D: I don't know if you got any of this over in Lakeland? But just yeesh.. what craziness o.x Whatever horrible black magic went into making that storm it certainly had no shortage of lightning. I swear it was like the sky opened & just unleashed some kind of unholy Armageddon. o.x Almost 5,000 strikes an hour from what I heard. No wonder l stay indoors D: www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/breakingnews/orl-bk-orlando-lightning-tally-strikes-fire-061709,0,2907358.story But eesh yeah.. I at least hope none of that nastiness rolled your way. It got pretty bad. At least we both know a certain someone would enjoy it though. And by enjoy I mean it would damn near be like Christmas for him XD But hey.. so long as he's happy I guess. Meanwhile maybe he can work on finding some protection for poor Juno & Raine because... yeah... that would be good XD In the meantime I should totally make a postcard out of this. In Your Face! www.castleduckula.com/JohnSaysHi.swfAnd lastly, just a quick test to see if I could animate John. To be honest I'm pretty meh on it but I guess for a first try it came out alright enough. I did get ever so much crap from Dan though about the movement XD Specifically his limp wristed-ness. Dan was just like wtf is up with THAT? Followed by the the macho-est Michael Jackson man cries each time his hand swept by XD So.. yeah. Looks like I'll be doing another sometime. One that's hopefully less effeminate XD

Is THAT what that was? (Leaping right on it here, haha) I say this in reference to Boom Boom Pow. It didn't rain a bit here in Lakeland, but that night, as I was sitting here at the PC, headphones on and everything, I heard this INCREDIBLY loud crash. I kid you not, I seriously thought one of our wilder neighbors had gotten drunk and rammed their truck into the front of our house. I sat still for a second and heard it again! I had heard some steady thrumming up to that point, but JEESH. I was a bit afraid to go check, lol. But when I finally did I saw that there were leaves whipping through the air like little daggers and the trees were leaning at odd angles. It all makes so much more sense now! xD Nature is trying to kill us, lol We saw some of that action the next day (yesterday) though. Seriously, it had been a bright sunny hot as hell and humid as the effing ocean day up until 4 in the afternoon, almost exactly. I had been folding laundry in the dining room and was suddenly like 'did the lights uh... go out?' Suddenly the sky was BLACK. Freaking fast as lightning (no uh.. pun intended) It was like night out there! The rivers ran red! The air grew cold! SOULS OF THE FORGOTTEN AROSE FROM THE CHAOS AETHER- Ahem Yeah. I decided to lay down for a bit and watch it, since my bed is right under both my windows. It was relaxing <3 I also share your love of listening to the rain, it was lovely. However, not so lovely, was when, an hour later I was walking down my street to get to the bus stop to go see Ashley. A phone pole lay clear across my street with a police car behind it :/ Thus backtracking to get to the stree next to ours, then it started raining, blah blah blah. The Weather is so fun here But I wouldn't have it any other way, I like Florida way too much <3 But yeah, enough about that and more about Pong xD Igor! He looks so happy xDDD I would normally feel that way too, except yanno... CHRIST. Poor Raine and Juno, she uh, might have to use his jacket as a security blanket That is horrifying though. 5000 strikes?! Well as they say... lightning capital of the world D: Igor would love vacationing here though Between sink holes and 70 mph hurricane winds and all that, who wouldn't have uh... so much fun? lol and YES, make an awesome postcard out of that! 8DDD It'd be like that one that came out in like, 04 or 05, the one that said 'Welcome to Florida' and it had a picture of the entire state on it... save for that you couldn't see it cause the ENTIRE EFFING STATE WAS COVERED IN HURRICANE. Oh well, that particular little bout got me a straight month out of school xD Albeit ten days of that month were of powerless misery. IN AUGUST Dx Speaking of the weather, Juno! (totally out of order, lol, but it was such a handy seque though!) That is so me xD In so many ways, haha (it was so bad when I was still in the cleaning job. Work like, an hour then be all like 'Hmm, magazines! *laziness* That's cute though, I bet the castle has loads of nice places to just relax. Duckula so does not appreciate that place enough 8/ Just as well, Juno does <3 Must ironically seem kinda heavenly to her after escaping angry wealthy people who are constantly at her for being a strange fugue in their environment Not like she meant to... yanno... leech them dry in a matter of weeks, lol Dude, I love your Friedrich. I actually have several doodles of him, I should post them :/ I think I'm holding out for something less crappy, lol. I like all the attitude he's got here though (that may be my issue, I keep wanting to draw him being lovey dovey with Louise, haha) Also, man, nice texture in the background. I keep meaning to fiddle around with those more, as opposed to plain flatness all the time LOL, I didn't catch it at first and then I reread it was all like 'hurr, hahahaha' Excalibur 8DDD Do I not ever get enough of watching the ego inflate like mad? Raine is just great here, she's like a catty ex girlfriend xD But man, I love Louise's figure here. She has some great boobs curves there But yeah, lol, not to mention some more of the hidden implications here (or maybe I just have a dirty mind) feeling ah, empowered now, Louise? 8DD No afterglow cuddling with John? AHEM xD Aaaanyways! Raine gets a turn in the outfit fun seat That is sadly a mistake I have made before too xD So John, you're not alone! (that casts a rather bad light on me though, haha) More egomania too, eh? CELEBRITY Jeopardy 8DDD This has got to be the most awesome random thing ever though x) I have a slew of fun game show ideas for them now (Survivor Transylvania anyone?) though, hehe John would be so epically psychotic on that show. I think any program involving John and punching a red button faster than your enemies the other contestants would end... probably with a fist to the face at some point xD Aaah yes, and lastly! JOHN, holycow woman! I wanna learn to animate, dammit, I need to just... like, sit down and DO it. That's so awesome though. And shush Dan, he doesn't look THAT gay-ish xD Though watching it does give me the feeling of being repetitively smacked in the face, lol more lol = imagining Michael Jackson man-cries every time. I wanna watch John do the crotch grab now I'd love to see more though, how long have you been animating? I finad animation just like, amazing, it blows my mind away that people have the skill and patience to do that But yes, thank you for your awesome comments on my own stuff xD I am so thrilled that you like it all, as always, haha x) Particularly on John and his almight fembath xDDD I figured 'I'm a girl dog' would be perfect angry woman music for him, lol and that has nothing to do with the fact I was listening to the song as I drew this! And his mom, lol, I have actually been meaning to ask you about her for like, an eon. Is she still alive? Are they in touch? I'm she she wholeheartedly supports his bad habits there. I actually think on her quite frequently, as she is a pretty predominant reason why he is as he is (to abuse some Fruedian psychology there) not that that's any excuses for him :/ Also I'd love having a hand at drawing her some time, if you have any ideas in mind for what she might look like 8) And about the Horst Shirt, woman, you're too incredibly kind! I'm just glad it doesn't cost you anything to make it in the first place though, I'd feel so bad! I did look at the rest of the line of those SCIENCE! shirts too, homg, they are awesome xD I fell in love with his 'Teach the Controversy' line too, his work is hilarious! Designing stuff for shirts for a living, man, it sounds excellent, I've been dead curious about what it is that you do. I think I'd get a big head designing stuff that people would actually wear out in public x) Oh, and that reminds me, my asking you about that type of stuff you design. JEESH. I had noticed, rereading quite some time ago, that my question about it being touristy, Jesus H Christ, that was INCREDIBLY rude sounding of me DDD8 I have felt so guilty about it since too, I was hoping you'd forgotten it xD Apparently, lol, you have not! But luckily you don't seem peeved or anything, but really, I apologize SO freaking much for that, I could have smacked myself for coming off that way :/ Please, I think it's absolutely amazing what you do, don't let my retardedness have you think otherwise Dx But that aside, I looked up the BuckedUp stuff, WOW, haha xD I almost felt the need to go and drown my ears in some Nightwish and Xandria, lol. There's some pretty cool designs on there though (mostly in the mens section, but I guess that makes more sense) like this one black and white t-shirt in there of opposite facing dear skulls ( www.buckedupshirts.com/bucked_up_viewItem.asp?idProduct=326 ) , I would actually probably wear that myself, mens shirt be damned, it's pretty badass looking xD (They never make awesome cool designs like that in womens styles. Everytime Ashley and I hit up the mall we complain of this very thing) But yes, that is so awesome. If you don't mind my asking, how did you get into this job? I'm curious, I still have absolutely no clue what I wanna do beyond college (which is fine by me, I'm in no spectacular hurry, but I'm curious to know what all's out there!) Alright, pong time xD Reasonably sized pong this evening, lol. I almost didn't, but then figured I had enough to scrape together a decent enough set. alu87.deviantart.com/art/Doodles-of-the-Rough-Variety-126542854First up for the lineup! Just a few roughish sketches that I liked enough to post. I decided to try sketching without like, picking my pencil up off the paper, and John and Igor were the result of that (John seems to be my guinea pig for a lot of things) Actually John is the main reason this is getting posted, I'm quite fond of him, simple as it is. But yeah, after my rough fast sketching I went and cleaned them up, obviously, lol. I liked it though, it was drawing more fluidly, more elbow work than I'm used to. Juno was drawn as I usually do, but I liked her expression enough to include her xD She had the dorkiest stance though (hence hadoken written next to her, lol) so that got chopped out alu87.deviantart.com/art/Excitable-126543007Inspired by Celebrity Jeopardy xD The layout for the board is wrong, ah well, haha. I think someones been tampering behind the scenes x) And John is apparently one of those people who scribbles his signature so that it's about completely illegible (My own father does that. There's something that vaguely resembles a B and an F each followed by a long squiggly indeciferable line) Better than me though. I'm rediculously lazy about my name, and can't be bothered to actually spell out the whole of it half the time xD alu87.deviantart.com/art/Shameless-126543112Epic win for making Igor blush I don't think that's an easy feat, lol. Juno acting like a ho getting her job interview with the castle staff off to an excellent start. There's actually some deeper thoughts on my end behind this though, silly as that sounds. I imagine after a while she probably kinda half gives up on her whole job search. After all, who wants a psychic leech in the house? That and the castle must seem impressive to her, so she's probably waffling on a job she highly doubts she'll actually get. Luckily they must have been in some rather dire need xD Nanny must have 'accidentally' killed a couple other part timers, lol. That or Duckula saved her from her own goofiness and was all like 'Finally! Help that isn't Goosewing in disguise!' or something. alu87.deviantart.com/art/Sweeping-Trouble-Away-126542730A finished piece? GASP And there's something more than random inspiration behind it! Raine, doing actual magical stuff for a change. This is based off an actual spell used during ritual, you sweep in a clockwise direction to cleanse your circle. You are 'sweeping away negative energies' so I guess this is actually multipurpose. After John trashes her house she can clean up after his epic mess and cleanse at the same time :/ But yeah, I imagine John energy probably feels pretty icky (Poor Juno. She could probably sense that lunatic from a mile away with minimal effort) I also kinda cheated here (not just with the background, lol, which was used from dA, with permission of course) I decided to give her broom some magic sparklies xD A more visual effect of the Magic taking place. If only that actually happened in real life D: Call my beliefs fake now, nonbelievers! xD Ah well, what matters is that you can feel it, even if you can't see tangible evidence of it <3 I imagine Raine also salts her windows and doorways and has things like dream catchers and amulets everywhere. Sadly they don't seem to have much effect on a psychotic crazy lusty fanatical lunatic John D: One more! lol www.doink.com/clips/juno/385660You have done bitten me with your animation bug xD However, I brought up Flash today and was met with my usual wall of 'idk what's going on, CRAP' However, DoInk is a fun, easy alternative for me in the meantime xD I'll get you one day, Flash! And a-reading tutorials I will soon be going~ But anyways. Duckula was my test experiment this time for my first ever animation (that wasn't like, a bouncing happy face or something, lol) He was easy enough to draw repetitively, and it was fun. He will now perpetually fork broccoli into his mouth for all eternity

Psychotic crazy lusty fanatical lunatic John. Oh man if that isn't the best thing I've heard all week XD And eesh yeah so true. I imagine Raine probably needs some heavy duty cleansing rituals to deal with the likes of him. Just the kind of negativity he would leave in his wake. Ugh.. D: But going on, Lord lady I love this so incredibly much <3 It's gorgeous! Especially with the added touch of the swirly textures in the background here. I swear, just coupled with that lighting it looks so stunning. I love all the warm colors in this too. They're all so vibrant & harmonious. It all just works together so beautifully <3 Lol, and here I thought nothing would be replacing my John wallpaper. Oh John how the mighty have fallen haha XD But seriously, this is such an incredible piece. Thank you so much. I swear you make me feel so lucky. Just that you would even do such nice things for me. It's so kind of you. I mean, I know we have our pong & all but still, always know how much I truly appreciate the effort you always put out for me. <3 It really is so nice of you & never fails to lift me up when I need it most. Especially weeks like this. I really do treasure it. I really love your concept here for her too. Unfortunately, I don't know much about ritual but I really love the kinds of things you mentioned here for her. Especially the sweeping here. God, I love this so idea so much. Specifically how it acts as a double benefit for her. That's so perfect & makes me wish I knew a little more about ritual honestly so I could make some of the connections like that. Not to mention it would help me know my own character a little better. Kind of a disgrace that I would have a witch character & not know about the kinds of things she would actually do I should probably try getting another book on witchcraft again or something just to help reference things. At least now that I don't live with other people I won't have to worry about it getting tossed out by the resident bible thumper like the last one. Also, I know you weren't being serious or anything but know anyway that I would never find any of your beliefs here silly. They differ from my own a bit but I couldn't agree more about it coming down to what's in your heart. When all's said & done that's all that should ever truly matter to anyone <3 I know for myself that's basically what my own beliefs are built on. I was never actually raised up in an organized religion (which looking at the way it makes some people behave I'm kind of thankful for ). My outlook on things just grew out of my own experiences. A combination I guess between observing life/people & just trying to feel out what I think is right in my heart y'now. I wish I knew a better way to explain it. It's kind of hard to try to describe to people especially when they ask what religion I am. I'm always just sort of like uh.. I don't know? {XD Anyway, it's always been my own weird brushes with stuff that's just shaped how I see things. Which for myself I prefer much more then just believing for the sake of believing. I know last year was a big turning point for me especially as far as strange happenings. I remember you mentioned having a couple of ghostly encounters in your last post. I have to tell you I don't find that hard to believe at all. After Bill died there were a number of really bizarre things that ended up happening to mom & I. I could probably name half a dozen off the top of my head but probably the most significant one happened exactly a year ago yesterday. It's kind of a long story so for the sake of not being self centered here length I'll try to keep it short here but basically the night of Bill's viewing I retreated to a corner of the funeral home to go be alone for a while and my 20 year old cousin came up to basically tell me that it was a shame that Bill wasn't a Christian because his pastor told him that he would just disappear into nothing. No heaven or hell just that he would be destroyed because he was an unsaved heathen which is why I should join their manipulative church & become a Christian with them before I burn/disappear foreverz along with him. And yeah... I wish I were kidding Talk about wanting to rear up like a viper & punch someone. I mean just seriously.. who the hell says stuff like that at a viewing? XP But anyways, as expected the whole thing just ended up leaving me sitting there reeling about whether or not it was true. Finally, after worrying about it for a while, I just remember telling myself 'dammit you know that's not true. No matter what ideology someone was God would never just up & trash up His own creation into "nothing". His pastor is so effing full of it.' Then, crazy as it sounds, about 10 minutes later I was pulled outside because someone caught a double rainbow in the sky & wanted mom & I to come see it. It didn't last long. Probably only about 5-10 minutes but even so I just felt it was really special. Especially after stewing in my own doubts just 10 minutes beforehand. Still though, the logical side of me was just like; well don't read too much into it. It's just nice timing for a coincidence.' It wasn't until the next day though, when mom & I saw it in the paper, that the significance of any of it really drove home. voices.washingtonpost.com/capitalweathergang/2008/06/photography_dcs_double_rainbow.htmlApparently the arc was so bright & large it was seen across three states & in some cases as far out as New Jersey. Mom & I were just floored & even now I still don't know what to make of it. I mean for all I know it still could've all been just a coincidence but given how I don't know.. incredibly far this thing managed to reach & the amount of people commenting there about how rare it was, I just feel in my heart I could never pass it off either y'know. :/ So.. I don't know. I probably sound so stupid & flaky saying that because again for all I know maybe we both really did read way too much into it but again in my heart there's just something so amazing about it. Something that even now just blows past the boundary of explanation for me. At the risk of sounding overly optimistic, I think really was a true miracle or at the very least something I'll never be able to explain. But like I said there's been so many weird occurrences (though never any as spectacular as that one) that I have no trouble at all believing your happenings there could be true. Again, who really knows. Like you said, it all just comes down to what's in your heart <3 But anyways, moving on from that long & pointless story (seriously, I'm so sorry if that was entirely too much there. You can tell me I suck :/) I've got all kinds of things left to say about pong. Just the amount of awesome you always leave me here. I swear it's like I never know where to start anymore. I guess I'll just have to go with what's burned in my mind & say that I can't get over shameless here. OMG did that leave me hurting. Just Juno & that face of hers. Dear LORD! XD Who am I kidding though, getting Igor to blush would so be worth it. <3 Even though wow yeah.. I'm pretty sure he has no clue how to even respond to that. XD (Well aside from giving Juno the job anyway lol.) But seriously, poor Igor. His ability to form coherent sentences has never suffered more! But hey he's got someone around the house now that appreciates his evil at least. I mean that's got to count for something right? Wow and speaking of the Count, your animation! God this turned out so awesome woman. I love it <3 Please do keep it up! I'd love to see more of these :3 Also, neat program. I've actually never heard of it before but hey it looks like it works just as well to me. And bonus points for being less complicated too because eesh do I ever hear you on flash. Trust me, as much as I appreciate all your kind words on my animations it only looks like I know what I'm doing. I really have no idea at all how to use flash save for maybe three buttons or so. (Seriously, the Bermuda triangle would probably be less complicated ) But yeah.. if it looks at all like I'm experienced it's just an elaborate illusion because I honestly have no clue about timing, frame rates or hardly any of that program. Everything I do usually relies on the 'insert blank key frame' button & me just feeling it out. I'm flattered (if not shocked) you think it manages to work though. That makes me so thrilled! <3 I'll still have to join you though on trying to find a working tutorial sometime. I'd love to know how to use this program too or at least to it's full extent. Please do let me know if you ever run across a good one somewhere. I'd love to see it. :3 Until then though I'm delighted as pie Michael Johnsen amuses you so much X) I'll have to think about that whole crotch grab thing now. Indeed I do believe that has some lulzy potential XD Lol and speaking of the devil there I might as well as have blown my funny fuse with excitable. OMG John! Only he could come up with a category like THAT XD No surprise there he'd know all the answers to it. I bet that man is practically board certified. I love that it's "obscure" methods here too. He would know all about that would'nt he? Haha only the weirdest kinks knowledge for our John XD But seriously, this made me laugh so hard. I swear just that look on his face. It made my smile muscles just ache! X3 And I definitely agree; he probably would be totally lazy about signing his own name. Guess he's just too important to cross those T's. ;D Doodles! <3 Oh man, sad as it is I just gravitate straight towards John again <3 That is such a great pose for him though. He's just so proud and.. sexy ego-y. I love it so so much. It's probably sad but I don't think I could ever grow tired of seeing him so full of himself. He just has the greatest personality for it. Also, haha I really love the Igor & Juno there here too. They both came out so nice! Lol, hadoken! Oh if only you knew how often I have to hear that at work XD My two coworkers say it back & forth to each other like it's going out of style practically all the time. It's like their favorite catch phrase. But that's alright, at least now I can think about this & smile instead of just wondering when they'll STFU ;D Also, OMG woman please don't apologize! D: There's nothing to even apologize /for/! Seriously, nothing you've said to me has ever merited an apology Juno. I mean it <3 Jesus just the thought of you thinking you somehow offended me just breaks my brain. Dude it would just be CRAZY of me to get offended over something like that D: Plus more importantly what was ever here to get offended by in the first place? It's "rude" of you to think I do touristy stuff? How does that even work? XD But seriously, I find nothing wrong with touristy stuff. I make fun of it because it's horribly cliche & funny but not because I see shame in it or anything. I don't know if it was maybe me saying 'floricrap' that made you think that? If so then I should probably apologize there for lack of clarity. I know it sounds awful but Floricrap is actually a term of endearment my friend Lynn & I share whenever we come across something super mega florida-y XD It was never meant to imply shame or disgust or anything just a good natured 'haha lulz that's so flo-retarded'. Same too for all the rednecky stuff. I know I might facepalm over how ridiculous the subject matter is from time to time but please don't ever mistake that for me disliking it. In all honesty, I couldn't be more thankful <3 Laughable as it gets at times I would never have it any other way. Seriously, I'm truly grateful to be doing what I'm doing and even more blessed that there would be people out there that actually like it. Even if it really was sitting next to gator heads & shell necklaces I would never complain let alone be offended. Ugh Jesus, I'd seriously have to be up my own @ss so far so full of myself for something like that to bother me. D: I mean it. Nothing short of flipping out on me & calling me a dirty pirate hooker could ever get me offended here and even then I think I'd either just end up laughing or be sad & wonder what I did to you. { So yeah try harder next time lol don't be so silly woman <3 I mean no wait.. I take it all back. CLEARLY YOU HAVE MADE THE MONOCLE POP FROM MY EYE XD Hehe, but all joking aside how about some pong? <3 Again I wish I had more (don't I always?) but I hope this will still be fun <3 Doodles i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/Doodles.jpgInspired by your own doodle post. Figured maybe I could stand to post some of mine too <3 Gimmie Some Sugar i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/GimmieSomeSugar.jpgLouise x John... because I'm so dirty XD Which reminds me, I'm so glad you were able to get the joke on that last piece there. I was kind of afraid it was going to end up being too subtle especially since I never wrote 'Excalibur' on her sword or anything. But.. yeah. So glad you were able to get that.. as horrible as it probably was XD Rump Bump i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/Bump.jpgLittle doodle of Ven & Raine. Just wanted to do something kind've sweet & romantic between them & thought maybe this would be cute <3 At least I hope that's how it comes off Sailing i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/Sailing.jpgAnd lastly a more bittersweet piece based off the song 'I am Sailing'. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSvouhu86twAgain, I'm so fond of the idea of there being an everlasting balance between all the good & the evil. Like life, it's just a comforting reminder to know that no matter how much bad there is there's always something good that can result from it. <3 So yeah...whatever John does here he can never truly touch her. Though the horrors may be great, the fire painful & sadness overwhelming; like a phoenix she'll always be able to rise from it .. no matter where (or with who) that may be. <3

It's been so loooong D: I'm sorry! Argh, but at least I'm back into the swing of things again, the last week has been rough to say the least. Still, I haven't gone so long without replying :/ Oh well, I suppose. Aaanyways 8D You left us with some beautiful stuff Raine! Sailing, oh lord... It just took me away, I really felt like I was swept up into it. My eyes first went to John (go figure, lol) but then they travelled up the smoke and that's when I noticed Ven and Raine and aaargh! Lord, I don't know anyone whose work so consistently makes me tear up Dx It was so impacting and beautiful, oh I love it. Even when those we love are dead, they are never truly gone. Also I adore the idea of them being together, if even so briefly, beyond the veil. Argh, even now my eyes are threatening to water up again T^T There's such happiness conveyed in their presence in the smoke, it's wild. Not to mention how rediculously beautiful the colors are, oh my god. Just the strong purples and oranges, man. This is an incredibly moving piece, and indeed, for as much of the upper hand John will always have - he will never truly win. Jeez, the love between Raine and John just breaks my heart though (it seems a lot of aspects about Ven have that effect on me. I want to love him for his snide jerkery, but I just can't seem to get beyond how truly magnificent he is ) But yes, I could go on and on about that one 8) It's definitely one of my favorite things that you've done, for sure <3 <3 Moving on to the next Raine and Ven, that is unbearably cute xD I love just how huge Ven is too (A quite appealing thing about men in general, no wonder every guy I've ever been attracted to have been well over 6 foot) But enough about me xD Raine's face, taaaaw x) She might as well put the book down, lol How did these two end up forming a relationship, if I may ask? At some point it must have transgressed beyond a student/master thing 8D I've been curious about that for a while now though, but then again, I just wanna know everything xD On an unrelated note, Lord does that man have some fine hair, gah. Ven's pretty fly for a man his age 8D Ah, older men, will you ever lose your appeal for me? <3 Hehe though, John 8DD He may not be old, but he's got some pretty swank taste in ice cream parlors xDD This pretty much sent me into a fit of giggles, lol Johns face is so perfect, that cheeky little grin he's got around that straw xDD Oh, but poor Louise, poor poor woman. You'll see him for what he is one day >8D But seriously, all they need is some greasers hanging around the background and some girls in poodle skirts and BAM, we're ready for the remake of Grease 8DDD The urge to draw John in a tight white t shirt, some jeans and a leather jacket is just about overwhelming now x) But of course, he'll have to have his smokes wrapped into his rolled up shirt sleeve first, lol And lastly (but certainly not least, as I work my way backwards tonight, lol) I love your doodles <3 That Raine is about the cutest I have EVER seen <3 <3 x) (hurr, no wonder that John to the right of her is already getting the rope ready, lol) He looks great too though, he is so fantastically shady! What a creep, I love him 8D D'aw, and Ven <3 I swear, it's just like my heart warms every time I see him <3 Seriously, I have taken such a liking to him, he's so dynamic and rounded. Hell, everyone is, lol, but he's a sort of special one to me, I guess because I can just see how much affection and effort you've poured into him. He also happens to be one of those characters that I so desperately want everything to work out for... even though I know they won't D: Like he just deserves to be happy, man, he and Raine and John and everyone. They all touch me so much <3 Actually, speaking of moving things, What you said about Bills viewing, it's just amazing. I know I already told you, but just... wow, just every time I see the photographs of that double rainbow, it takes my breath away. Even though when I think about your cousin I have the urge to hit somebody like them >:/ How disgusting! Argh, I have a bountiful respect for good Christians, but people like that just... ARGH. Who do they think they are? Just eesh, yeah, gonna calm down now Dx< On the other hand, you're pretty lucky to have been raised without any specific religion, I think a lot of people would benefit from that, particularly to find their own religious (or anti religious) way in life later. I chalk it all up to how good a person is. I don't think it matters if your Islamic or Buddhist, so long as you're not a complete jerk-off, you should be set. I actually grew up Catholic myself x) I gotta say, if I ever got a wild hair and converted back to Christianity, I would totally be Catholic again, those people are AWESOME. Then again, I have a big thing for shiny rich glitzy stuff, so cathedrals are right up my alley x) Not to mention they're so Pagan-esque in all their formal rituals of worship, I just love it, since ritual is totally my favorite thing ever. Not to mention my Baptism. HUZZAH, any event that spotlights on me in formal wear, involves ancient Latin readings, and has a gazillion candles, I AM SO THERE xDDD Shame John was very likely Baptized within hours of his birth, it is a ceremony he would surely appreciate 8D Actually, speaking of ritual and all that, hey, I love what you've donw with Raine so far! I feel bad myself though, I've actually been using my books on Wicca and Craft and Magick and whatnot more for research for HER than I have for my own doings xDDD Oh well, luckily Pagans are extremely laid back. Indeed 'An it harm none; Do what ye will' The BEST saying in the history of man, in my oh so humble opinion x) You should totally pick something up though, bet you can find some pretty cheap on amazon. Just look for books with Magick spelled with a 'K', lol Pong time! A sort of lengthy pong tonight (though not nearly as much as should be here for me cutting out the last 5 days :/ ) But there's some fresh stuff that I'm pleased with though 8D alu87.deviantart.com/art/Sneak-Attack-127722301As the artist description says, feel free to let your mind wander to what transpires next xD I couldn't think of anything convincingly funny and/or not completely horrifying, so I left it be xDD Poor Raine, if Johns going to those efforts, I don't even think I want to know what he has planned for her 8D alu87.deviantart.com/art/For-the-Beads-and-the-Glory-127722412This is actually a very accurate depiction of... myself xD I went to Gay Pride this weekend, and during the parade the people driving/sitting on floats/walking by toss beads (in a very Mardi Gras fashion) to the crowd. My friend Aika and I always get there super early to get good bead catching spots xD My friend Stephanie F also came with us this year (so proud of her, it was her first pride!) and she got to see how first hand how ah... enthusiastic I am about catching beads xD I swear, it's not like I mean to elbow people out of my way diving for them xDDD They need to learn to just MOVE, dammit xDD Luckily though, unlike John here I have not given any innocent bystanders black eyes or anything with an errant elbow or hand flying out. It is NOT my fault that I am extremely good at this x) So yes, substituting Aika and I is John and Louise. Even though Aika didn't get as shorted out on beads like Louise xD I however, had roughly about 2 pounds worth around my neck by the end of the parade (John looks strikingly accurate to my own beads necklaces of doom) Oh yes, and I don't figure those two are at a gay pride event xD You can fancy them somewhere more suitable, like a witch hunting parade or something xD I think John would have his eyes falling out of his sockets at the flamboyant queens running around in string bikinis and acid pink feather boas 8DDD alu87.deviantart.com/art/You-Said-WHAT-127723742This was actually supposed to be included in my last pong, and I didn't notice it until I had already posted, lol That's okay though, more for this one xD We're assuming John doesn't know Veneficus here, haha. That jerk deserves it :D I swear, he comes into her house like he's Von Goosewing or something, like he owns the damn place xD alu87.deviantart.com/art/Dirty-Pirate-Hooker-8D-127723846THERE I SAID IT 8D WHATCHA GONNA DO? lol Indeed, haha, I'm glad I hadn't offended you! And no, my thoughts on that were long before terms like 'Floricrap' (which it, and 'Flo-retarded, I have totally never heard before, but those are some awesomely hilarious words xDDD) That makes me happy, I am so glad that the monocle has not popped from your eye 8DDD alu87.deviantart.com/art/Raine-Ninja-Returneth-127724008More John and his lovely hair tardery, only this time marks the return of *dramatic pause* NINJA RAINE 8D John is so oblivious, but then again, people in his position usually are when it comes to people doing stuff for them 8D alu87.deviantart.com/art/Taller-and-Trucks-127724149Indeed, as I said earlier, I love how tall Ven is compared to Raine <3 However, I noticed shortly afterwards though, that as I depict her, she and John aren't that different in terms of height (forgive me if I'm way off, now that it's been called to my attention) so thusly... Ven must veritably tower over John there xDDD Which would ANGER him to no end, to be sure >8D And the John at the bottom is based on that truck GIF you showed me the other night (which of course I forgot to save the link to, so now everyone else is lost on the epic awesome :/ Least I saved it to my own pc though, lol) Yes - He in inside the truck thinking about how awesome he is xD alu87.deviantart.com/art/The-Old-Crone-127724294And lastly, this is based off a little story/idea/notion/something-to-that-effect that I had on my brain earlier. Johns loathing love affair of witches has been ingrained in him since birth practically, and this situation really isn't any different, except that I think to a degree, John is also likely sort of afraid of them. As much of a turn on their rituals and exotic-ness might be, I suppose the power they wield (or he THINKS they wield) might make him mightily uncomfortable. So I drew this up earlier. A lot of things that happen to us as children are the most impacting. Like, say, if you're a kid and you come across an angry belligerent homeless guy, you might be really wary of them the rest of your life, even though most of them are perfectly harmless and respectable people. So we have the Crone, as I call her. Her outfit design is heavily based on Raines, obviously. I liked the idea that as much as he 'loves' (for lack of a better term) her, there might be an interesting juxtaposition of a similarly dressed woman who may have frightened him once. She scares him, you see, because she is completely blind, yet she knows that he is a young lad, and also that he has bread in his sack. As a kid this would be especially unnerving, since he wouldn't immediately try to conclude that it was a 'lucky guess' or something to that end. Also, similarly dressed as she is to Raine, she's very different in that she has all these spangles and everything. I think a very done up sort of woman would put John off, like she's assured of herself enough to dress up for her own reasons. She actually should have on a crapload more jewelery and stuff on that I drew, but it was feeling crowded enough with the length of her shawl :/ She's a crow (durr) so even though she wears these very plain clothes, she has lots of sparkly jewelery and bangles and bracelets and you name it, plus nice fabric when she can get her hands on it. I don't see her nearly as honorable as Raine, I imagine she steals what she can, since she lives on the streets and all. Funny though - being blind and all, I wonder how she knows what to get? It must be magic 8) Another reason John doesn't like her, I am sure. But yeah, I don't know, I like the idea, but I probably have not conveyed it very well, it all sounds so much better in my head xD I did end up really liking the Crones design though, I may give her some different clothes and keep her around. A lot of my thoughts regarding John too have a special basis - I have been reading Ann Rules 'Green River Running Red' a book about the Green River Killer. For those who don't know, he killed prostitutes in the American Northwest region, mainly around Seattle Washington. Ann Rule does a marvelous job of conveying the mindset of a serial killer in this book, and she mentioned a lot about other infamous murderers too, like Bundy and some others. They got me thinking about John, in the way that they described that killing made them feel 'normal'. Oh John, you're such a basket case 8D Anyways, just a few thoughts on John here, another one of the deepest and multi-faceted characters I have ever come to know <3 EDIT: alu87.deviantart.com/art/Joy-127862060Because we all need a little Don Diego 8D HOLYCOW I finished something and actually tried to make it look... like, NOT slapped together xD I'm pleased with this though, I finally took the leap and made myself play with colors. Raine, I do so admire the way you work color, I aspire to learn from you x)

Hello everyone, I am finally back. Last month was even more hectic than I had expected. The one lady I work with overdosed herself; but luckily didn't succeeded. While she was recovering in a known mental institute, I had to do the work both my and a portion of hers; and they sometimes unexpectally call me on my days off so that I can help them with work as well, So, no new fan-fics from me this month either ... *Cracks knuckles, then takes a deep breath* Famous Last Words: This is such a hilarious comic. Raine and Ven as farmers are funny. Love how Raine's annoyed that Ven lost "her" in page 1, and Ven tried to calm her down (love the bottle with alcoholic beverage in his hand). In page 2, I love Raine's pose as she became more frantic, while Ven's still calm. Love how in page 3, we cut to Juno just waking up, then how she complained about her headache in the next page. Love how the "camera" panned to the special someone that was her...bedtime buddy. Love how the comic cut to Juno screaming, then Juno shooting Ven an angry look, then Ven looking quite sheepish. She Can't Wait: Love Juno's overly-excited expression She also looks cute in that outfit. Science: Cool T-shirt logo with Horst. Girl Talk: Oh my! Well, has to look fabulous for the witches, no XD A Curious Fetish: Love how your hiding the screen, while looking quite guilty. On a boat round duo: Love the poses and the expressions. All the pretty hair: Love all the different hairdos. Poor Juno and Raine indeed. The Shocking Injustice: Love how John's annoyed that Horst's a print on a T-shirt, and not him. Happy Horst: Aww, he looks so cute Replacement: Ugh. Poor John. Gator Watch: Hilarious comic. Fredrich Portrait: Fredrich looks great. Love his expression and his hair as well. Rainy Day Juno: Juno looks so relaxed and peaceful here. Love the blue-tones as well. Did he now?: Oh, poor Louise. Love Raine's amused expression as well. The Day is Mine!: LOL, oh John. Boom Boom Pow: Love the fact that despite the fact the lightning nearly struck them, how the girls are clinging onto him, Igor looks extremely giddy. In your face: Cute Flash. Love his little animation and expressions. Doodles of the rough variery: Love everyone's expressions Excitable: XD Shameless: Super win for Juno making Igor blush. Sweeping Trouble Away: Love her expression and how she is sweeping away. Juno clip: Very cute clip of ol' Duckyboos. Doodles: Very cute. Love their expressions. Gimme some sugar: Love how they're sharing the milkshake. Very cute. Rump Bump: Aww. Love how Raine's blushing while Ven's cuddling up to her. Sailing: Love John's expression, and how the smoke's sailing in the sky. Sneak Attack: Whoa, John sure knows how to sneak up on a person... For the beads and the glory: John looks pretty pimp with all 'em beads 'n stuff XD You said WHAT?: Oh no John, you didn't! That's just low! Dirty pirate hooker: XD Love Raine's WTF expression as well. Raine Ninja Returneth: LOL. Oh dear, John. Taller and Trucks: John really looks annoyed about how short he is. Also love his expression as he's clutching onto the wheel. The Old Crone: Poor John. His fear/ hate of witches started from a young age, hm? Joy: Awesome take on everyone's favourite pyromaniac Don Diego.

Thank you very much for all your kind words, Steffie As I always say - I aim to please x) On a completely different note - HOLYCRAP. www2.tbo.com/content/2009/jul/04/042302/several-people-hurt-lakeland-lightning-strike/news-breaking/I have to sit just for a moment to appreciate the irony of this, considered what you drew up after that disaster in Orlando, Raine D: FLORIDAGEDDON STRIKES AGAIN. And this time so much closer to ME DDDDx But seriously, holy effing mother of CHRIST. One dead and twenty eight HURT? Lord! Those poor people were just enjoying a freaking church barbecue too, man, jeesh, Happy effing 4th of July. Right out of nowhere, how freaky is that? Between Michael Jackson and Floridageddon, I think we might have to be more careful on what we kid around about, Jesus xDDD

Wow I wish I even knew where to start here. I just can't believe it's taken me so long to get back here with this. { I am so so sorry Juno. Seriously, It's incredibly unfair of me how long you've had to wait here. I really should have posted a notice or something especially with mom being in town here for a week. I just should have known better then to think I'd have the spare time.. Again, I'm just so sorry. I feel like such an @ss here & never meant to make you or anyone else have to wait like this. I mean it. It's ridiculous that you & Lourdes always have to wait as long as you do. I hope you two can forgive me for always being so slow. I promise you both one day I'll stop failing so hard at this... {:/ Ugh but anyway, getting back into things here; it feels good to finally get back in touch for a little while. I always miss you guys so much when I'm gone. Pong or no pong, I just hate not being able to talk to either of you for so long. You both brighten up my life so much <3 And I know I probably just made a handful people here sick saying that but it really is so true. I swear my days just aren't the same without you guys in it. <3 I also can't stand that I always miss out on so much. Seriously, do I have some hardcore catching up to do here or what? I mean just wow.. the things here you left me off with. I'm at a loss for words. Not least of all on your lightning story here. Just good Lord those poor people. And at a church function like that too. That's just insane. I hope they all recovered well enough. What a horrible thing to have happened. D: And God yeah.. Floridageddon is right. Dan & I actually witnessed something similar to this ourselves one day. Completely sunny out, no thunder before or after, just a bolt straight out of hell nowhere. Definitely one of the most surreal things I think I've seen yet down here :/ But eesh yeah, I think I agree with you on all the horrible timing. With the way things have been I think I'm definitely going to have to curb my kidding around now. Just.. jesus XD Of course this won't stop me from still making pong fun for us though. With all the material you leave me I think that would be impossible anyway <3 I swear if only I could put into words the effect your ideas & art have always have on me here. They just light up my whole weeks. And I know I've probably gone into overkill saying that here but it's just so true. It never fails to leave me smiling or thinking about new ideas or character quirks. It's like it ignites my brain or something. I only wish you knew how truly inspiring this always was. It gives me so much to look forward to. <3 God, especially these past couple weeks. I swear so much of this just hasn't left my mind. You don't even know. Even with as much as I've had going on, just the ideas you've given me here.. they've never once left me. Again, I just really wish you knew or at the very least that I could articulate it better. I swear what you leave me gives me so much to obsess think about. It's like an awesome spark that just never leaves my brain <3 I mean just what you did here for sneak attack! Just dear Lord the vortex of horrible ideas thoughts that all brought on. You don't even want to know. XD And I yeah I think it's safe to say I'd hate to know what he'd have planned there too with a stunt like that. Save us! I totally have to admire his technique here though. God just the way he went about it. He's just so random & nonchalant about it all. Like it's just all in a days work for a town psycho or something... which, considering John, I guess wouldn't be that far off. Still, his methods here I just love! Not to mention his dialogue here too. Oh God that just killed me. I mean what a great thing to just casually ask someone before y'know.. violently abducting them. XD Poor Raine. She will never have a chance to properly answer this question. God and poor Louise too by the look of things. WTF John. It's like he's out to eff up everyone over here or something. But wow yeah, Louise... I think she would've fared better on the losing end of a bar fight. Just ow. D: I swear that poor girl. She really needs to learn how to get back at him more often. Good natured or not I like to think she would've totally trumped him here had she participated in "true" Mardi Gras fashion. I mean just the attention alone she'd drum up. John would probably lose his mind trying to threaten so many people at once. XD But I guess maybe it's better she doesn't have it in her. After all, with he way she looks now I'd hate to see her on Johns BAD side. D: Totally loving Johns apocalypse necklace there, BTW. Dear God I think he could probably kill a man with that thing. Also, just the idea of a witch hunting parade. OMG I about died reading that. XD I mean could you even imagine what those floats must look like?! I swear it makes me laugh right now just thinking about it. I mean no wonder John is so excited over it all. It's probably his favorite time of year. XD And God.. him at a pride parade. Just the thought of that alone made my face ache haha. I'm thoroughly convinced his head would explode. Wow and speaking of exploding, just that look on Raine's face. Oh man, I'm surprised John's even still breathing. XD I swear if that isn't a close parallel of me & my cousin I'm not sure what is. I think that was about the face I could have made. I appreciate what you said regarding all of that craziness BTW. Believe me, I felt the same way although anymore I realize I probably should have never taken it as much to heart as I kind of did. I mean thinking about it, part of me understands it probably wasn't so much him as it was just him being grossly mislead..which I know I can't fully blame him for. Still, ignorance aside why he ever would've thought that tactful & appropriate for that time I'll never know. But then, like I said, I really shouldn't have let it get to me either. It's not exactly the first mindless thing he's done & it probably won't be the last. So.. no sense trying to make sense of the senseless I guess. Although I do have to admit had I had a broom on me that day John might have been getting a little company there. XD But again it's alright, in the end I kind of like to think of that rainbow as being the ultimate 'in your face'. Like heaven itself just got all up in his face & laid down the smack ;D I'm really touched BTW, that you were able to share some of the same thoughts on that with me. That makes me so happy especially just being able to feel that maybe I'm not so crazy for thinking some of the things I have about it. I mean even now I still kind of feel a little weird regarding it as so much of a 'message' as I do. (gogo gadget skeptic) But like I said, there's just so many things about it, particularly the timing & strength of it all, that I can't discount it either. In my heart it certainly feels genuine. But again, who's to really say. Whatever the case it at least warms my heart to know you would share similar thoughts with me. <3 Also, it's funny you mention the whole being a jerk thing. Your a woman after my own heart I swear. <3 I can't tell you how many times Dan & I have joked that there just needs to be a religion called 'don't be a d*ck to people'. I swear too many folks worry so much about what's "right" it's like they forget how to be good to one another. I only wish more folks felt the same way as you did <3 But gah.. whats wrong with me. This wasn't about being good this was about rage XD And yeesh what a rage. Like I said, it's a wonder John only suffered a broom to the face. I mean if looks could kill! Seriously, I think Raine could burn down a whole village with a face like that. Just yikes.. But then I'm not sure I could exactly blame her either with the way John acts in her house. Totally serves him right when you get right down to it. Although I do have to confess I'm always fond of the way he just strolls around like he owns the place. It's like he doesn't even care. XD Also, it probably sounds like I'm bordering infatuation here but man I am just all over those super squinty eyes you gave him. Augh God. It's just such a perfect -perfect- expression I swear <3<3 Such extreme disgust X) It's like my entire body smiles just looking at them <3 His dialogue too is just the greatest. Oh God I about fell out of my chair the first time I saw that. I mean just the things that fly out of that guys mouth! I like how Raine only responds with hitting XD Seriously, that's got to be like the fastest 180 I've ever seen. It's like a warp speed WTF XD But eesh like I said, who can blame her. I think I might broom someone too if I were in her shoes..especially someone talking smack about my dead husband. Still even as defensive as Raine can get I'd still hate for her to be around the day John really does discover that's her husband. Rage or not, her temper would probably pale in comparison to what he would dish out. It's something I've been thinking about here & there honestly. I think I've finally come up with the conclusion that John doesn't actually know anything about Ven but one day he inadvertently finds out. I'll have to finish up the idea I had for that sometime soon here. It's a little dark but I think it works as a good excuse to draw John tearing stuff up character exercise. XD Wow & speaking of rage; O NOE U DI-UNT! XD *flips over the nearest table now* Lol but seriously, Pirate Hooker! ! <3<3 Oh God I love you so much for drawing this. You don't even know. Truly the most accurate greatest gift art of Raine ever X3 Ahh, and Ninja Raine too! Ok, now I'm convinced your trying to kill me haha. But wow just check out those mad skills of hers! Holy crap I am like.. stunned XD I mean just the way she took out poor Louise there. Good Lord it's like that girl didn't even know what was coming. Guess it's a good thing Raine doesn't own a windowless van is only after John here. With horrible ninja spider powers like that I'd hate to see what else she's capable of. God, and poor unsuspecting John.. if only he knew what atrocities lay ahead for him. Guess maybe the tingling sensation will give it away? XD Taller & Trucks! Oh God how I love these both so much <3 Seriously I know they're just sketches but just some of the ideas you come up with for these guys. I swear they're just priceless. Especially playing off the whole tall thing here. Man I just love this so incredibly. It makes me so happy that you would even pick up so much on it. Their height is something I've been struggling with a lot lately. Mostly because I just don't have a set model for any of them. One of these days I guess I'll have to make a fancy head chart or something. But yeah, that just tickles me that you would share in my appreciation for tall guys. <3 It's sad but I think that's why I had to make Ven as tall as he is. Plus you know.. him being able to get under Johns skin is always a plus XD Speaking of which, you aren't off at all on your earlier guess there. Raine & John roughly are about the same although with her being a woman, she's probably still a bit shorter then him. But haha, yeah Veneficus. He's definitely got the advantage there doesn't he? God and just their faces. I swear I can't properly describe how tickled their expressions make me. I mean just that smug look on Ven's face. It's like he's rubbing it in without even trying XD And John.. Jesus.. I don't think he could look any more butthurt than he does. He's so burned Nice that he was eventually able to get his hands on the monster truck though. That always helps out with the compensation issues. XD Geez and speaking of issues I can't even tell you how in love I am with the crone piece here. I swear I wish I didn't always sound so horribly repetitive saying so, but if only you knew. Seriously, just the effect this was able to have on me for the last two weeks. It's exactly what I mean when I likened it to igniting my brain. It really is like you just flipped some kind of mental switch. I mean just some of the theories you've come up with here regarding Johns childhood. God I just couldn't be more about this. Especially with what you mentioned here about the whole mental connection he'd be drawing between the crone & Raine. Man I am just all over that. I mean it. It just works so naturally. It's brilliant! It really is. <3 Like I said, it's just crazy the amount of thinking this had me doing. I really haven't been able to get it off my mind. Plus what you mentioned here about his fears. I swear if only you knew the whole pandora's box you opened up here with all of that. It's like being able to add crazy sprinkles to a fantastically mental ice cream sundae. XD But wow yeah, looking at the crone here I'm not sure I could exactly blame John either. I could only imagine how freaked out someone like this would make a little kid. Hell, I'm kind of creeped out by her right now. But geesh.. yeah, add John's mother into the mix & it's no wonder he grew up with such strong issues. That reminds me, BTW, you asked what his mom looks like? I meant to say something earlier but I guess the disappointing truth is I have no real idea. I haven't thought too much about her other then I imagined her as maybe having a bit of weight on her? But even then that's not like a feature that's set in stone or anything. I really have no clear idea what I would want her to look like. Such a huge help here I know. But lol yeah, if you ever wanted to think up something sometime your definitely more then welcome to. I mean just looking at what you did with the crone here I just know whatever you designed would fit perfectly. I completely trust whatever you'd come up with. <3 Speaking of which I am just in love with your design for her here. Mother of pearl woman this character is just effing amazing. Seriously it's like the perfect combination between elderly & just plain creepy. I love her! <3 Plus God, that horrible double vision of hers! Auurgh! No wonder John is so freaked out. D: I think I'd be too especially at a young, impressionable age like that. I mean someone as blind as all that still being able to see what you're carrying.. and then to still be attracted to glitzy jewelry on top of it all? Seriously, I'm half surprised John didn't run away screaming from her. But man the crone.. I seriously can't get enough of her. Her design is just so incredible to me & again just man.. I just dig everything about her <3 Especially the fact that she's blind but still has jewelry. That's just such an awesome concept to me. Plus I love that you made her a crow on top of it all. That's just so fitting & perfect. Sorry, I know I probably some off so overly gushy here but I can just tell you put a lot of thought into her when you did this. So many of these little characteristics just work together so beautifully. Just the little quirks & what not you were able to come up with. I mean it. I love this character. I'll definitely have to draw her when I get the chance. She's just too damn awesome <3 And wow how could I forget young John! <3 Oh man I do love your design for him so much. He is so freaking cute.. even if it is in that 'you know this kids such a little brat' way XD But man I do, I love his clothes, I love his features, I love everything you did with him here. He's so adorable. God.. what the hell went wrong? XD Haha wow and last but not least; Don Diego! Oh man does he ever look psychotic. I love it! The colors in this especially! Oh man Juno you did such a fantastic job with these. Just that green in his beak, It's a color I would've never thought of for that but damn woman that worked so incredibly! Seriously, I love the effect you were able to get with it. He looks amazing! I'm so happy too that you would be so inspired to push you boundaries with things a little. I think it definitely shows <3 I'm also geez.. I'm insanely flattered here that you would ever consider me as anyone who would work well with color. Seriously, I wish even knew what to say to that. There's so many people I can immediately think of that just completely blow me away. I'm just floored that you would ever think of me as being good enough to influence you. There's so many people out there I strive to be like. People younger then me who just, like I said, blow me straight out of the water. Again, I wish I even knew what to say. I appreciate knowing that so much. You just don't even know <3 I also really appreciate all the kind comments on everything. As always, I'm just thrilled to know you would like everything as much as you do <3 I swear just what you had to say about sailing. I think you made my entire year over her. <3<3 I mean it. Your thoughts always make me so happy. I swear it's like I could thank you all day & it just would never feel like enough <3 Ok wow.. so now that I've probably written a small book here I guess it's about time for some pong huh? Again I'm so incredibly sorry you've had to wait so long for everything. I swear I feel so horribly guilty. I hope if nothing else a few of these can at least make up for it. For as long as you've waited I really did try to put together something worthwhile <3 Pirate Hooker The Sequel i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/WhoreIsland.jpgJohn giving Raine some helpful fashion tips... or uh.. something like that XD He's probably just jealous he couldn't be her "John" for the night. (hurr) ;D Feel The Burn i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/FeelTheBurn.jpgDon't worry John the tingling means it's working! Sadly, I have to admit, this is based off a bit of real life. Not to myself thank God but to my friends husband Alex who actually did something like this a few years back. Long story short he basically thought using Nair would work as a suitable shortcut to shaving & well.. I think anyone can see where this is going. The poor guy. He truly had no idea what Nair was capable of (other then removing hair) & by the end of it all suffered pretty painful burns. Which honestly wouldn't have been so bad had it not been made worse by the aftershave he slapped on.. and then worse still by aloe vera he put on after that to try to cool it. (Aloe that was ironically 90% alcohol) I swear I wish I was kidding. By the end of it all I just remember him telling me how much it hurt for him to smile. I felt so damn bad for him. :/ But I guess at least now he has something to talk about when he's wasted a great story to tell. And with any luck maybe John here will have the same XD Hat of Awesome i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/HatOfAwesome.jpgLike any man (especially one with nice hair), I'm sure this whole Nair thing had to have left John feeling pretty insecure & generally unmanly about himself. So.. since the 16th century lacks a hair club for men John here decides to settle with a hat. A hat hopefully not of Louise's choice... Red White & Blue i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/RedWhiteBlue.jpgGod.. the people in my complex. They're all so easy going & awesome. XD But yeah. This is pretty much how Dan & I spent our 4th of July. Why my neighbor felt this necessary we still don't fully understand. But then we also didn't understand why she chose to scream at us like a mental patient from her balcony instead of just y'know.. asking us like a normal person to maybe wrap it up or something.. :/ I still have a hard time wrapping my head around it really but given the list of heresies we got accused of that night I probably shouldn't try to. In the end we were basically screamed at for everything ranging from making her dog bark to the city sponsored show across the lake to the 4th of July needing to be canceled because it's a ridiculous holiday & OMG she hates it. Yeah.. D: I swear if ever there was a time I wanted to make a baaw face at someone that was definitely it. But eh some people.. what can you do right. If anything I figure maybe it just means we need more next year. XD Vivian The Soulless i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/VivianTheSouless.jpgFor Steffie! <3 Oh man the things I've been meaning to say to you about this story Steffie. I loved it! <3 I've been meaning to tell you for a long time now actually but again I just keep failing at getting back to things here. :/ But anyway; my God yes, I just loved your Igor's Daughter series. Just the ideas you were able to come up for him with regarding his past. So much of that seemed to fit so naturally to me. And just Vivian here; I really do dig her so much. I won't lie; she's definitely creepy as all sin but man I could'nt love her any other way. She's such an interesting creation of his & I just loved the whole process he had behind making her. Specifically how so many of elements from the ritual made their way into her actual physical design. I can just tell the amount of thought you put into that. I really love the concept <3 Anyway, I went on a whim here with what I thought Vivian might look like & only hope I was able to do her justice. To be honest, I've actually been meaning to draw her for a while now but could just never get anything out that I thought looked decent enough. I have a hard time drawing child features for some reason. They always just come out like looking like midgets XD Serving Daddy i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/VivianServe.jpgVivian serving her master. Even back then in his peasant days I like to think Igor maybe still had that touch of class. Ven Scrawlings i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/VenScrawlings.jpgSome old. Some new. All pretty meh, Clocks i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/Clocks.jpgOriginally I wanted to wait until this was a better piece to post but since I've had so much trouble thinking of a better concept I've just decided to keep it as is. Anyway, just a crappy doodle of Veneficus facing his worst enemy ..and one of his worst fears. It's somewhat based off the Coldpay song of the same name. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmej-clcqA4Anyway, again I wish I could have come up with something better fitting for this song. The lyrics to me are so fitting & I can't help but feel like I made such a horrible mess out of what could have been a much stronger concept. I guess if I end up thinking of something I can always redo it but for now I still wish I had something less blank then this. But anyway, getting back to Ven's mental issues here; clocks are a real problem here for him. He hates the way they look, he hates the way they sound, and if he comes across one he'll usually try to break it. Basically it's safe to say he can't stand them in the house. Which is kind of unfortunate since living in a clock-less house tends to drive Raine crazy as a result XD But yeah.. They make horrible ticking noises that constantly serve as a reminder to him & they tend to be really bad at further driving his already problematic paranoia. Definitely up there on that list of things he hates.. Rained Out i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/RainedOut.jpgJohn's fun gets extinguished. Oh well. But seriously, As long as I'm prattling on about fears here I may as well mention one of Johns biggies. Besides witches, satan & all general dork sided-ness one of his worst fears is actually water. It kind of goes back to what you were saying earlier about John being baptized actually. You mentioned how he probably would've loved it had he not been a baby at the time. The sad truth is while he probably would've liked it for the ritual but he would've truly hated it because of the water. Thanks to his mom attempting to drown him in a river as a baby he actually has borderline phobia of water or at least of large bodies of water he could drown in.. Things like rivers, or oceans, even lakes. If they're deeper then his thighs he just can't bring himself to go in or cross them.. not unless there were a damn good reason anyway. Regular stuff like rain & drinking water though.. no problems. Although one of the things he definitely can't stand is the feeling of being wet. Just little things like the feeling of wet hair on the back of his neck or the clammy feeling of wet damp clothes wrapping around him.. it just tends to aggravate & unnerve him more then it would someone normal. Anyway, just some thoughts on that. Again, all heavily inspired by so many of your own thoughts. <3 Exit Light, Enter Night i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/ExitLightEnterNight.jpgAgain another inspired piece. Funny enough this was actually inspired by your crone piece before it was ever inspired by the song. The song this is semi based off of was honestly just an afterthought. But yeah, I really meant it when I said you put me off the chart with ideas. Just the amount of concepts I was able to generate from the ideas behind your crone piece. I swear I just wish I could put it into words. <3 But anyway, this is one of many many ideas I was able to have as a result. Basically your thoughts on Johns fears got me thinking a lot about his mother & what a b*tch she was the kinds of care she might have given him as a child. I imagine despite her manipulative nature she'd probably treat John alright for the most part. Then there would be the stuff like this... Not that it's all that uncommon for parents to terrify the living crap out of a child. (What good parent doesn't? XD) But not John's mom. No, for John's mom here it's on a near nightly basis. At least with the books she gets her hands on. D: Seriously, with stories like Baba Yaga and other horror stories it's no wonder John hates witches. Especially with the real Grimms fairy tales. OMG, I don't know if you've ever had a chance to look at original Grimms stories but holeee crap that book is EFFED up. D: One of my old teachers from Ringling introduced it to me actually. It was for an elective class I had taken on Children's literature. Anyway yeah.. wost fairy tales ever. Talk about traumatizing a small kid. Scary stories to tell in the dark has nothing on old school Grimm XD Eh but anyway, I figure stuff like this would've greatly added to John's complex regarding witches. Especially the way he portrays himself. I mean a kid hearing a story about a witch who devours children & then about a guy who kills her with an axe & saves the day? It's no wonder Johns probably seen himself as the 'hero huntsman' all his life. Weekend At Johnny's i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/WeekendAtJohnnys.jpgPoor Raine...who knew a little cholophorm would send you back to the 80's XD Solomon's Song i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/raineart/SolomonsSong.jpgAnd lastly, what probably really happened to poor Raine after that 'sneak attack' incident. So much creepiness, I know, but don't worry.. John only wants to play nice & read her the bible. No... really. D: I swear just when I think John can't get any worse an idea like this flies into my head & proves me all kinds of wrong. To be honest though this was kind of a fun challenge to think on since it kind of forced me to come up with something unexpected or at the very least not something entirely horrible XD Anyway I hope this works out well enough. If anything I find it almost creepier that he isn't doing anything terrible to her. At least not yet anyway. Tossing her into a blaze is still part of his plan here I'm sure but not before warming up with the usual pre-burning sermon. Unlike his usual though, this sermon is a little more special. So special it uh.. kind of makes all that hellfire & brimstone look pretty welcoming XD But yeah.. instead of his typical routine here Johns made a more personal selection. A more intimate passage he's reserved just for "them"... All I can say is thank God they're secluded since this section of the Bible is so ridiculously risque isn't something I think he'd ever want to be reading in public XD Still even as ah.. suggestive as this whole thing was I found it especially fitting that so many of it's overtones related back to marriage. For me I just think this would just fit into John's mindset so naturally. As messed up as he is, I imagine he would probably consider all this like a kind of marriage. Not so much out of a true "love" for her or anything but more out of a deep appreciation for the bond he knows they share. Like a kind of hunter's bond I guess? It would be a vicious cycle but at the same time John would likely see it as a kind of beautiful rhythm too. Something they both share in & something they both seem to be equally bound to. And not unlike a marriage, it would also be something that's only truly final for one of them through death. But yeah, the private reading he's indulging in here is basically just his way of saying he'll always be there "for her". At least in John's little world anyway. So.. God yeah.. let's hope Raine maybe wakes up & flees like.. soon D:

Raine! You couldn't even begin to imagine my delighted surprise when I jumped on this morning xDDD Woman, I had about given you up for dead, lol But seriously, don't worry about being gone. What with your mom coming down and all I figured you'd be off for a while (though I missed you like hell anyways xD) As I've said, it is ALWAYS worth the wait 8) Aww, and you make me so happy! You really brighten things up for me too. I've had more continuous drama with the rents these past few weeks, but I always tried to keep in mind what excellent advice you've given me. Things are cool again... for now anyways xD Can't say I haven't managed to keep myself busy though =D Anyone within a small radius of my DevArt account can verify that I have jumped off a cliff into an ocean of Time Squad fandom. I don't know if you're a fan of the show or not (or if you've even heard of it) But between Lourdes and I it is ALL the rage xD I have done so much fanart for it over the last three days... it shocks even me 8D Poor John, he misses all the attention now 8D Actually that's not true though, since I apparently have something bordering on an addiction to drawing him. I can be smack dab in the middle of working on some epic TS fan piece and then I'll flip a page in the sketchbook and just doodle John like, out of nowhere xD He often shows up on my very sketchdumpy pages too, lol. There again, there are maybe a handful of pages in my sketchbook that he isn't on there somewhere, lolAaanyways though, HOLY COW WOMAN xDDD What you said about a pong dragons horde? MINE CANNOT COMPARE 8D (actually, tonights will, but no matter, lol) just... just... asldkfaskfgak! I barely know where to start! This morning was made infinitely better just by seeing all of this x) Clocks! Oh man, I love that song (and Coldplay in general) That's incredible to know about Ven too. And makes a boatload of sense, if I were him I'd hate clocks too :/ tic tic tic tic THE END Dx That actually brings to mind something I've been mulling over for quite soem time now. I've had this feeling myself, and I wonder if Ven might have been the same way. I wonder if when he was stumbling out over the ice (to his inevitible doom savior) he feel a sort of sense of impending... fate, for lack of a better term. Like he was rushing towards something life ending changing. Like, I know that the day I was caught shoplifting (bless that day, honestly) that morning and leading up to the event, I had this peculiar feeling that I was heading towards something that I couldn't avoid if I wanted to. Indeed, as I had woken up and was brushing my teeth, looking in the mirror I felt this bright pang of " Today's the day it's all going to be over with" It's hard to explain. Even though I had this deep gut feeling that that was the day I was going to finally pay for my misdeeds, something pushed me onward and I did it anyways. Some might call it stupidity (for indeed, the whole thing could be described as very foolish) but I couldn't and can't ignore that feeling I had. That fate was pressing me on, for better or for worse. And retrospectively, it was the best thing that ever happened to me. Seriously. That day led to so many good things. Bad too, but I take it all in stride. Looking in my DevArt gallery (which I have always used as a sort of means to record my life xD I can always tell what I was up to at any given time over the past 5 years just by seeing what I was drawing) there was a gap of about a month after I got caught where I drew nearly nothing. 4 pieces in one month, nothing very cohesive. That first month was hard - I was waiting on my court papers, trying to keep Mom and Pat from finding out, and was incredibly stressed. Then I did what I have done since roughly November - when in stress and trouble and doubt RUN TO DUCKULA xDDD As my DA shows, there was a month long dull period and then the Duckula fanart explosion xD Duckula has been SO effing relaxing to me since I got into it (I used to take in several episodes a night just because it so effectively calmed my nerves) And in turn it led to me spending much more time here on the forums, which eventually led to what I am doing right this second - PONG <3 As they say - the rest is history 8) Only I can manage to talk about pong and then spiral into a drabble about myself :/ Moving onards though, I related Vens death and the circumstances surrounding it to my own life experiences. Even though he was drunk when it happened, I imagine he felt drawn towards fate himself. For better and for worse <3 Which also, I love your Ven doodles 8) He always has so much character. And his hair, lord, I need to nail how to draw his hair xD Vivian the Souless 8D Yeah... I have meant to give her a go myself (and of course, I actually still owe Steffie a request to that end, haha... whoops...) Igor would be an awesome Dad 8D Hell, I'd want him to be MY father Oh ho ho, such unintentional dirty implications that leads my mind to xD But these look great, Vivian is quite a cutely disturbing little thing. And Igor himself of course, dang it he's so cute too xDDD Vivian needs a mother, yes? 8D Too right you are about that touch of class. He may have looked like a slightly maniacal crazy man back in the day, but I have always felt that class was deeply bred into him. (indeed, my opinion is that he changed the Duckulas for massive personal benefit. Why be a lowly villager to some poor Count in a rundown castle when you have the opportunity to ultimately control your master and be able to live out your bloodthirsty days in joy and companionship? God knows Igor had it pretty damn swell before our current Count. And lord I love that man so much <3 So diabolical, so cunning and controlling, that beautiful wicked intelligence <3 <3 <3) Ahem, anyways xD ANCHORMAN JOHN YOU SAY? 8D tellytubby Island, homg, I laughed so hard xDDD Off to Pleasure Town next, hurr 8D It sounds like you guys had a pretty epic 4th of July xD Shame on your neighbor though! Wench >:/ I didn't do anything this year, short of maybe sit around and draw xD I heard the fireworks going off (they set them off pretty close to where I live. It rattles the windows 8D ) but eh. It was just me by myself and it seems kinda lame to go down to the lake and mingle with the crowd of people there with family or friends or whatever. That's awesome that you and Dan play with your own though 8D If fireworks didn't scare the absolute hell out of me, I'd enjoy it. Thanks to my brother Zac though, I can't even hold a sparkler without cringing and keeping it as far away from my body as possible :/ Oh well. I'm usually very ambivalent about holidays anyways. Holidays are terribly boring for me (likely because I'm completely alone on them every year) and I tend to get aggaravated because the people I'd ever actually like to be around on said days are doing what average people do - spending time with their family :/ Bah Humbug Halloween is my only holiday favorite, mostly because I feel like it's MINE xD My birthday is in October, so that whole month always rocks my socks. Not to mention, hanging out with your friends for Halloween is generally acceptable. Enough whining xD Joooohhn <3 Oooh, I saved the best for last! Half balding John has GOT to be the most amusing thing ever xDDD He'll need to get some like, Bosley Hair Restoration for this holy mess 8DDD But god, your poor friend! I don't even want to imagine how horrific that must have been Dx I love to use Nair myself, but eesh... Oh lord, it says right on the bottle not for use on the face or head xDDD Chemical burn... GAH. I feel for the poor guy, what a nightmare. Homg, though, Raine and Juno, their expressions SLAY me! Raine in particular, that face is BEAUTIFUL >8) (I must confess, Jamie and I once VERY strongly debated doing this exact thing to my wicked drunk stepmother. See if she every would have forced me to hide out in my room for days at a time again! >8D ) But, somehow though, I don't think John would be pacified with having a hell of a story to tell xD But hey, hiding your male pattern baldness with a gigantic sombrero, why hasn't EVERY man thought of that 8D I love how Lousie is all 'lol' about it too xD Hell, everyones face in both of these had me rolling, haha (Johns '...Burn?' face. EPIC!) D'aaw John in Rained Out. That makes sense. His mother tried to drown him? I wanna say that you've already said that, but I forgot xD What a hateful wench! But yeah, poor guy. I guess no fun trips to the beach with John, eh? 8D But man, his baptism must have been hell of the poor guy. Not just being in that amount of water, but someone tipping you forcibly back into it :/ *is so thankful for my good Catholic Baptism* Johns mother fascinates me though, since she put such a huge spin on his life. Very Fruedian. Which, by the way, I am so delighted that you would consider that I might try my hand at giving her a design x) I sat down and had a bit of a go at her today, but I want to do some referencing first. I love the idea of what you said, having a bit of weight on her (though I totally have this notion that it came after John was born, and all the stuff that came with that) not only that, I think she'd be a pretty good looking woman. Not like, glamorous pin up beauty or anything, but probably very nice looking, but in a weird creepy sort of way like she's saccharine sweet. Smile at you lovingly one moment, twist a knife in your back (figuratively) the next. John, you're so effed up, I love you xD Poor guy as a kid though. Glad that you should mention Grimm fairytales 8) I grew up on them! As well as sugary sweet Disney and Suess and all that, me, being the wildly avid reader that I am, had have anything readable. Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen, Perrault, all the goods. Much as I adore Disney and stuff, I really like how effing MESSED UP hardcore the original stories are 8D I loathe Disneys Snow White, but the original is freaking AWESOME xD Good God Snow White was effing evil in the end, Jesus H Christ. But yes, Hansel and Gretel how fitting >x) Poor John. His mother is messed the hell up. Guess if you're going to implant a hatred for witches, you gotta do it young. (I won't lie, his mother rather reminds me of my brother Eric. I wonder if John has a twisted love/hate relationship with her too? I could totally see it. When the times are good, they are SO good and happy and wonderful. But when they're bad.... not existing is preferable.) And last... but not least xD What amounted from a twisted childhood, from being a cute little brat to the delicious man we have today, with issues deeper than the ocean... Oh John <3 (Why am I so drawn to complete psychopaths? I swear, it's like I need to go to a friggin high security prison to find a suitable man for me xD) Solomons Song just really hit me. There is such a delicious creepy tenderness in how he's holding her, and reading (which by the way, I bet John has an amazing voice. He has to, dammit! xD ) to her, and just everything. From the red light to the passage itself, this is moving in it's own strange way. What you said about marriage is so true. In every single way they are so completely and utterly bound to each other (which is scary, since, as you put it, only death can seperate them now) It actually sort of reminds me of the bond between Batman and the Joker (I'm being serious here, I swear xD) If you've ever read Killing Joke, actually, I have long equated the speech Batman thinks up to talk to the Joker about with John and Raine. About how they'll eventually end up killing one another, and how it doesn't have to be this way. Maybe John had his own 'bad day' x) But yeah, I seriously really love this piece. It's deep, and it's just perfect, especially for John. I need to draw more productive tardery if it has results like this xD There.... is a VERY sizable pong tonight xD I can't help it, woman, you gave me an entire month to draw stuff xD By all means, I'm shocked there's not more, lol (actually, what's pathetic is that in a month, I only have one completed piece *cry* ) i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh131/juno3841/shesback.jpgHappy to have you back, Raine xD i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh131/juno3841/SeeingyouSoon.jpgI'm sure you've seen Manucode Guy in your birthday thread. I went like, a week, where I was on this wild Ven and Manucode Guy kick xD This inevitibly lead to much tardery 8D I like this one though, hehe John has so much to look forward to now, maybe it'll change his wicked ways xD i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh131/juno3841/NotsoDamselinDistress-1.jpgI don't even know if Juno understood what the hell he was saying xD i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh131/juno3841/JohnMeme.jpgInspired by your kindly words that you like how expressive I draw John 8D Thank you so much, Raine! I swear, you and Lourdes both just make me feel very special a lot of the time <3 I've been wanting to do this particular meme for some time now and who would be a better candidate than... John xD Some of them are a bit wonky looking, as I drew this in one sitting 8D Also, haha, I cropped it out, but on the upper corner of the paper there were so very unmistakable bite marks - I caught my cat Seville trying to eat the paper xD Or all the papers on ym desk she noms on the one with the most Jonh on it 8D I lol'd! i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh131/juno3841/Approved.jpgMore Devil and Ven goofiness. Didn't you ever learn to read the fine print, Ven? D: i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh131/juno3841/HellonWheels.jpgYes. The Devil himself is not exempt from my drawing retardation xD i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh131/juno3841/DiaryofaMaid.jpgEverytime you felt eyes on you when you thought you were alone? There was a camera clicking away too 8D i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh131/juno3841/Curlers.jpgMore tardery xD God knows I draw little else :D i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh131/juno3841/Birshdey.jpgDon't do anything Ven wouldn't do 8D I meant to post this up with your birthday thread. Given the wild circumstances I was in on the day before your birthday though, that was a little difficult to do xD So happy late, but was on time, birthday! lol i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh131/juno3841/Backoff-1.jpgI love drawing John getting socked in the face. i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh131/juno3841/AToyforJohn.jpgMaking light of Solomons Song xD I love the piece so much, and yet here is my ability to poke fun of anything and everything 8D I can't believe how freakin good natured John came out looking xD That's rather scary, lol alu87.deviantart.com/art/The-Alchemist-131157731The one actually complete thing I have xD I'm so sorry :/ Veneficus Portrait thingie. Of Doom. :) More epic inspiration from your beautiful work <3 And hush you xD I find what you do to be a hell of a lot more inspiring that much else of what I see. Your work has so much depth and love put into it, everyone elses art seems a little flat <3 /Novel of a Post =D

Pirate Hooker the Sequel: John's comment amuses me. Feel the Burn: LOL. Poor John. That must really burn and what-not. Juno and Raine are so evil XD Hat of Awesome: I love his stylish, pimp hat. Louise is also so amused. Poor John. Red White & Blue: Love the uses of the blues and reds. I also love their expressions as well. Vivian the Soulless: Thank you so much for the picture. I simply love how she's clutching the spellbook while looking quite innocent. I must admit that I wasn't so sure what colours her "skin" should be; since Igor's colours seem to clash with her hair. The white actually suits her a lot. Serving Daddy: Thank you so much for this picture as well. I love how Viv's serving her dear ol' Daddy some blood. She looks so darn adorable here too Ven Scrawlings: Love all his expressions and poses here. Clocks: Love the dark atmosphere here; as if it's from a horror movie. One can feel Ven's discomfort quite easily here as well. Rained out: Love how John's annoyed that the rain spoilt his plans. I find the whole thing about him being hydrophobic to be quite interesting. I wonder if Raine knew about his weakness, if she'll use it against him then? Exit Light, Enter Night: Aww, I love little Johnny's panicked expression. I can't blame him either; old-school Grimm's fairy tales are stuff nightmares are made of D: Weekend at Johnny's: So cute. Love how John's waving so frantically as he noticed Louise off-screen. Also love how Raine's chilling here as well. Solomon's Song: Love how John's actually looking innocent while reading to Raine. I also love how relaxed they are in each other's company as well. She's Back: Very cute Seeing you soon: Love John's frightened expression here. Can't blame him either. Not-so- Damsel-in-distress: Oh Goosewing, mistaking the new staff member for a damsel in distress. Love Juno's confused expression here; as if Goosewing sprouted a few heads. John Meme: All his expressions are just so awesome. Approved: All that work, and it all ends up in flames D: Hell on Wheels: I simply ROFL. Run Ven, Run XD Diary of Maid: Yes Igor, whenever you felt eyes on you; it's the maid taking pictures. Curlers: Love Raine's amused expression and Ven's embarrassed one. Birshdey: Very cute. Back-off: Uh-oh, John's in trouble. A Toy for John: His thought and expression made me giggle-snort. The Alchemist: Ven looks so noble and handsome here.
