Sorry guys, I am being so bad about updating those pages. Life is a little rough right now, so there might be a little wait. When I do update them, I'll make sure that everything is caught up what it should be. Let me remind you guys also about the contest. It's going to end the 20th, but may be extended if I don't get enough entries.

Once again BIS is in the Comixpress.com store. I can't give you guys the link because DA breaks it for some dumb reason. When you get on the site search "Before I Sleep".

This is a little add on to the last journal (Or now the edited one). Before I Sleep has been doing very well recently. It now has 212 fans,a website,18 fan arts, over 9,000 page veiws, and is now in the ONLINE STORE (woot!)within only 8 months.

I would like to celebrate this with a contest. Since my redorder of all the comics are coming in soon and christmas break is coming up, this is a perfect time for this sort of thing. Plus, I totally need to do something cool since I was never able to do the theme project.

What's the contest: Well, we all know that Doodle looks like he got hit by a car at the end of Issue 1. However, what happened to him was never really cleared up. Ignoring Issue 2, give me your story about what happened after he sees the car headlights. Be creative, humorous, or maybe even depressing. You can add other characters from the story if you'd like. It doesn't have to be drawn. It could be written or even in comic format. All I care about is how creative you are. I am not basing it off of artistic ability.

Prizes: First place: 1 sketch from of any of the characters in BIS doing whatever the hell you want (please don't request sexual stuff. That would hurt my soul, and a free copy of BIS

Seond place and third place: Let's see if we get enough enteries for a second and third prize. I'm not sure how this is gonna work.

Due date: December 20th. Tell me if that's too soon or anything.


OH YES AND THE COMIC IS IN THE ONLINE STORE. The link isn't working right so go to Comixpress.com and search for Before I Sleep.

Page 7 is uploaded onto the site now for anyone who wants to read it. I might be uploading pages every Saturday for a few months. I have a bunch of pages done now because I decided one day that I was realy sick of drawing still lifes. So, I sat myself on my bed and sketched 6 pages straight and spent the next week during class inking them all. I might keep doing this in order to get through Issue 2 before I die.

Anyway, so something really cool happened a few days ago! I went into Cosmic Comics to retreive my postcards when I found out that my comic book sold all of it's six copies and someone requested the book. Isn't that awesome? I never thogh that BIS would be asked for in a comic store. Whoever did that YOU ARE AWESOME, and it's because of you I get to sell more comics there. ^___^

IT WORKS! YES! My website is a okay! Jeasus christ, I was going mad over that thing. It turned out it was a simple mistake too. Oh well, here is the link for all who wants to see:

If there is any more problems tell me, kay? ^___^

As for the comic: I will load all the new pages on the site rather than DA. Unless I totally hate the idea later (which might be the case) that's how it's going to be. It won't be like I'll update a lot, so I'll probably tell you guys when I update. It just looks nicer on a ste than having all the pages on here. You guys are welcome to e-mail me comments or just leave them on here. I will still be uploading Doodle art on here instead.

Make sure to tell me what you think of the layout (if it works....ugh), and all! I want opionions!

other news...

About selling the comic....it may take a little while then expected. I have no idea when it is going to be in the online store =/. It may be weeks or months.

Well, I am having a terrible day. I just got scammed from this stupid web hosting site called Siteground.com and they won't give me my money back. I spent 214 dollars on something that I may have lost forever. So...to make myself happier I am making this post. Plus people have been asking about how to buy BIS and how much it costs. It costs $4.00, guys. It's a 21 page comic, so of course it will not be expensive. Soon, I hope to have it on the Comixpress online store seen at Comixpress.com to make it easier on the young teen folk who need a more legit site than this. I'm not sure how much shipping is.

PICS OF BIS!!!! YAAYYYY



Fucking awesome, yes?



Page turned out awesome.



Interview project!!

About the Interveiw project: The interveiw project is in the printed issue of BIS. THAT IS THE ONLY WAY YOU MAY BE ABLE TO READ IT. I will not post it no mater what. The questions on there as taken from the journal I posted a while back asking people if they had any questions to ask me. The DRAWN version of the Interveiw Project will be in volume 1(the volume version is a graphic novel). That one will not have the questions from the 1st issue. Instead it will only have 10 because that's all I can fit panel wise.

About the interveiw project: It is a drawn out interveiw beteen characters and the audience. Basically a fan will send me (the author) a question and I will put it into a giant bucket of questions. I will pick the top 10 and the top ten get to be drawn out for upcoming volumes. The first volume's character is me and possibly Doodle. For issue 1, however, I just made it me because that's easier. Further journals will be posted later about this.

Lastely, I appreciate any help from you guys in supporting Doodle. Money is super tight and I fear I will not be able to print copies for NYCC. v__v. Escpecially with being screwed over by that site....

Thanks.

SMALL PRESS EXPO!


(lol, Pat’s face)

Well, I guess the one thing I could say about Small Press Expo was that it was exhausting. So many things happened good and bad it was insane. My body hurts, but I want to write this blog anyway for memories sake. It will be a long journal, but hopefully it’s entertaining.

Saturday: 10/4/08
Saturday was terrible. I had a horrible time and was grumpy as hell. The reason being, I woke up at 4:30 with very little sleep. Maybe 6 hours if I am lucky. I didn’t get much because I was uber excited about the road trip, hanging with friends, and being able to give out my comic book for the first time. We all met up in order to head off on a very long road trip to Maryland. Everyone was there but one person. This person was the most important to be there since he had all of our tickets and hotel information. At first we thought he was just late, so we took the bus to China town and got prepared for our 4 hours bus drive. The person still didn’t show up. We waited for another hour, skipping the bus we were supposed to be on. Finally, we said screw it, and paid an extra 20 dollars to take the 8:00 bus stop. All kind of pissed and angry we tried to be very optimistic about our trip even though we were worried that we wouldn’t have a hotel or anywhere to sleep. After maybe another hour the guy calls and says he slept late because of a broken alarm clock. Pat (the president) swore he would be extremely angry if the guy called, but wasn’t. The guy was very very sorry, and so we decided to forgive him.



TEHHEE ISN”T THAT CUTE? DDD!!!!! That’s my cool friend JP (With awesome artwork, of course)

So we get there and set up. I decided to be behind the booth for a moment because I liked doing that. I found very quickly that when you have something you are actually selling at the booth it is the most NERVE WRECKING EXPEIRENCE EVER. For a while I had to watch as people picked up my comic and put it right down. Every time I was like “NOOOOO!!! I TRIED SO HARD ON THAT!” I decided to leave and walk around after starting to feel like my nervous face was becoming awkward. That made me feel worse though because when I looked around I didn’t buy much. It felt as though I was a hypocrite. I didn’t want to stay long at any of the booths and when I did I felt bad when I left. I just wanted to be like “I’M SO SORRY!!!!” It lasted a while like that and at the end of the day I only sold one of my comics. The idea that I only sold one made me feel really bad. If I were to be honest (I don’t care if this sounds emo) but I felt like an arrogant bitch who bit off more than I could chew. My friends told me to chill and that it was alright. The con was very small and the audience would not like something like Before I Sleep. They were much more interested in something more mature and less “depressing”. Plus, I was surrounded by professionals. What could I say? It didn’t really sink in until Sunday though. Saturday I was too damn grumpy to be able to pull my spirits up. Now though, I feel like I should have not complained because no one at my booth sold any more than me. That made me look even more like a jerk. One of the things that made me feel like utter shit that day, though, was that one kid walked up to Final Wish (I was selling it as a print) pointed to the picture and started to ask if he could have one. The dad responded “No, because if you did you would be kicked out of the house by your mother”. The idea horrified me. I stood there with a weird smile and tried to act like I was the artist. Once they left I wanted to run to the bathroom and start crying from the horrors the day. Now I realized that ordeal was a compliment. The kid was begging to have it and even offered to buy it himself so that the mother wouldn’t get mad. I heard him bickering about it as they walked off. So…I guess that kid is uber cool for wanting a picture of Johnny killing himself. GO YOU!

When we got home I felt better because we watched some of Iron Man. Not all because JP fell asleep on the floor (in the girl’s room I may add) and so did Megan and Rel, so we turned it off.
That night was possibly the peak of horriblenes... ]]> ~Mind-Tricks http://Mind-Tricks.deviantart.com/journal/20813846/ http://Mind-Tricks.deviantart.com/journal/20813846/ Fri, 03 Oct 2008 18:36:55 PDT

Well, today was a lot of fun. I spent the whole day at the SVA booth helping everyone out. For anyone who didn't know, I was also giving out postcards. That went fairly well. I printed 100 and gave away about 40. As for anyone who approached the SVA booth, I was the girl with the bright burgundy wine hair. I was supposed to be Gaz. There was a few people who recognized Final Wish and came up to compliment it which was very cool. During most of the con though I was drawing in a little sketch bad that my club has. Basically one person starts off with a panel and then other members keep adding on to make an extremely random comic. Today it started off with an emo mouse, to a mutant squirrel, to Phoenix wearing a disney hat, to Edgeworth's penis eating a old woman, and then to hippie Jeasus. Pretty interesting.

Pictures of me as Gaz.


I kind of a retarded face. I don't really look that stupid. I look more like this:


God! WHy am I so ugly? I'm really don't look this bad...I look like I am drugged.



Some cool artists were there. I talked a little bit with which I have been watching for years. He actually did a sketch of a character for me years ago. I was a little shy to go up to him because he barely knows me. It felt weird. , , and was there too. I bought some prints from them. They are actually really cool people so go check out there stuff. Super friendly. Last but not least, was there. He goes to my school and I say hey to him every once and a while.

Also I bought THESE!! They are erasers! Aren't they adorable? I love them so much. Only 5 bucks too for all of them.

DOH! I TOTALLY FORGOT! Last September 5th was Doodle's b-day! I completely forgot to tell you guys. Soooo sorrry. Well, he is now 2 years old! Isn't that great? That's the longest time I have through with a character ^__^.

I guess to celebrae his belated b-day I will inform you of his birth.

His birth was a funny one. The name came out of watching Gorillaz. I hate admitting that because once I say that someone is goig to say "NOODLE? LIKE..NOODLE DOODLE!?! DAR HAR!". Well, maybe it was from Noodle...who knows. All I knew is that I loved the qurkiness of the gorillaz and ater a few days came up with the name "Doodle". I loved that name. I loved that it meant the same as someone sketching a fun sketch. It reminded me of silly things...Doodle is a silly name. It sounds catchy. I didn't really give it to a character though.

Then I read JTHM (Gasp...gasp gasp gasp). What I liked in JTHM was that it was a little random. It wasn't like anime where everything was in exact order. I thought that was super fun so I came up with a character that I can "doodle" in class. This character would also be in 's chibi mini comics with her character "Teddy". These little comics were supposed to make highschool more fun and interesting. I came up with what was called "Doodle comix" (Does anyone remember that?) where doodle expeirenced very random things. One of those things was "The emo comic". The emo comic ws of Lezzie asking Dodle if he was emo and then Dodle suddenly over reacts, grabbing him and starts complaining about his dead mother being crushed by gummy bears. That's where Doodle got his background of "fucking with people". He still fucks with people...you'll see those comic strips in the graphic novels (hopefully). The points of where he messes with people are usually in a mini comic between chapters. Afer a while, I started to really like Doodle. I changed his style, and worked on it for 2 years (until now). For that while I suffered the "You're character looks like ___" for the longest time. Happily, I don't have to deal with that anymore. Thank god Doodle is his own person. During this time of two years, I gave him a coplicated story, more friends, and more clothes. is his fashion designer. She designed his clothes, shoes, and hair. She even told me to make his hair blue. Soon, Doodle was posted on this site and was barely recognized by anyone. THEN I get the DD and a ton of people frollock on this page to see this quirky dude known as "Doodle". Here is grows to become a better character. Forever Doodle is a best friend of Michelle, Jenni, and me. He was mainly enertainment for us. Now, is is entertainment for everyone which I am very happy about.

Well now you guys know. Fun b-day information.

I got my stuff in!

My shirt and postcards came out awesome so I wanted to show you guys.

Doodle Shirt!


Postcards!



The strangest thing happened a few days ago. I was walking down the street and stopped a the corner to let cars go by. There was this guy infront of me, just a few feet a way, who just stood there staring at me for what felt like 5 minutes. I was just like...wtf? He was smiling too which made it even kinda creepy. Suddenly he says "Sorry, it's your shirt. It amuses me." At the time I was wearing my Doodle shirt for the first time, and so finally I understood. It was flattering in a strange way.

Also I put a flyer upn in the art store near me, and the very next day it was gone. I thought that the storekeeper took it down for some reason so I went in and asked him. Apparently someone stole my flyer. If you are reading this now, please do not steal my flyers when I hang them up. I have to print a new one if you do. I know Doodle is amazing, but you have to share him to the world. Not just yourself. That is bad.

I other news: I found a artist who will work with me on The Marionette. He's a real cool guy by the name of Ian. He draws very well and is easy to work with. I don't think you guys will see any of the comic pages but I just want to express that I will be working on a project. The ID and the Ego has been stopped sadly because Michelle doesn't have enough time to draw it.

So as you know it, I have sent out a poll. Everyone PLEASE answer it if you are reserving a copy. I am going to Small Press Expo or (SPX)which is located in Maryland and will be selling a few copies then. That's going to be on October 4th or so, but I am not doing anything like sending reservations until New York. All I am doing right now is buying what I need for all the cons in the future (it's expensive like CRAZY). I need an accurate number of those who want to reserve so please don't see the poll and say "fuck it"...that's just going to make things hard.

I would also like to appologize because of all the advertisement...I know it's annoying. I hate doing it, but you know...I need to get somewhere with my career. I would LOVE to have this really unknown comic that maybe 20 people obsess over, but life doesn't work like that. I am getting post cards and a shirt (eee a doodle shirt!!) and so will make more annoying journals in the future.

Thanks to those who are helping. I GREATLY appreciate it.

Edit: I want you guys to also realize that if I can' make copies of the comics for New York comic con NO ONE gets it. Just because you aren't going to New York Comic con doesn't mean you are out of the picture. I can always reserve you a copy when I print them.

CAPS ARE AMAZING!!!!!

Many people of told me that they would like to see BIS published. Well that may just happen, but I will need your guys’ help. Coming up in February is the New York Comic Con which I hope to go to with my school. They will have a SVA booth set up and hopefully I will be able to sell things there. My idea is to self publish the first issue of Before I Sleep for a LIMITED TIME! I'll only be selling the issue at the con and so the issues will NOT be accessible afterwards unless I decide to sell the extras. However, there is a problem. I don't exactly have the money to be able to print the issues. Even if I print 50 or so it'll be expensive. I'll be talking with people in hope to see if there is a cheap way of doing this, but I am not sure if there will be one. I am also hoping to go to next year's San Diego con and need money for that. I really want to do this for a promotion purpose since BIS has a very small fan base and I would like to get the name around.

HOW CAN YOU HELP? Well I will be opening COMMISSIONS again. If you want to see BIS as an issue then please look at the information below. If you buy a commission then you will receive the issue for free signed (maybe you can sell it on eBay for lots of money....hahaha...that was a joke! Laugh!)

ABOUT COMMISSIONS: I work very hard on the commissions I receive. Styles and characters aren't a problem for me. I have been able to do a lot of styles for a very long time. If you love batman then I can very easily draw him for you. Same goes for Pluto or Bugs bunny. All commissions will have backgrounds and dynamic ideas.


NEW DOODLE ART : If you want Doodle art I will also draw that. You can request for any character doing anything (sept porn or weird fetish crap). I may not be able to do the theme project because of college for free anymore. Keep that in mind. If you really want to see Doodle dressed up as Sailor Mercury here's your chance.

Inked drawing: $15

Fully colored: $30


CARTOONS: Any style from Anime, Western Comics, my own style, or Disney. If you ask for a character already produced in the media than I will use the style I think suits the character best. However, if you want a specific style please tell me. I can do any.

Inked drawings: $15 dollars.

Fully colored pieces: $ 40 dollars.

Extra characters: +10 dollars



REALISM: I've been taught how to do realism since I was little. I am best with this style. If you need a photo drawn for someone I will do it whether it's a dog or your baby sister. If you do realism I will need a photo. I don't do color. Also, if you choose this style then I'll probably send you the picture.

Full Black and White Pencil Drawing: $70

HOW TO PAY?

You guys START sending him comics when you get to the INVADER ZIM comic.

This is your teacher: . He is a good teacher and will help you if you need any. If you need a second opinion you can always come to me. I wouldn't be able to do anything like videos though.

Students that are given to Nick (his name):






LATE ASSIGMENTS: From now on I will not be able to remember who turned in what. The proactive students who ask a lot of questions or keep up will be the ones that will skim through the classes. The ones that keep to themselves will not. There is no longer any warnings for late assigments. I will ask you once and only once what is going on to cause a delay but that is all. Otherwise I expect you to notify me telling me if something has happened. If I ask you a second time you are kicked out of the school. This is a self teaching class and not regular school. I know I seem nice but please don't take advantage of that. I hope that won't be a problem because you guys are all great.

Okay so I am now starting to get ready for the move! ! It's exciting and sad at the same time. I am going to miss my friends but it'll be cool to experience something cool. I hope that I have a great time at New York...

There has also been a lot of drama at my house. So annoying...I was hoping my family could get along until I left but noooo. Well, whatever. I dun have to deal with it anymore.

Anyway, TO MY STUDENTS, I am posting up the homework you guys have during these two weeks if in case you forget. Once again you can ask any of the teachers for help if you need it.

Motivation is growing to do the next page of BIS, so maybe I can get that up in a few weeks. I am also in the process of getting the Sailor Moon piece done of the Theme project. Currently I am trying to hang with friends and such so drawing time is limited.

Anyway, yeah sorry again....I feel like I neglecting my fans. <___< Thought should just tell you guys what's going on so you know.

Edit: (okay nevermind. She is a teacher again. This summer is a rollercoaster) Also I would like to inform everyone that is no longer an assistant teacher. I apologize, but things change.

--

As for an update on my comics: I'm sorry I know it's been a really long time since I've updated. To tell you the truth I am very very overwhelmed at the moment. I am moving in a month, and the scenery change, along with not seeing my friends, is starting to effect me. Also, this summer has been crazy and has cost us a lot of time. To tell the truth, I am not sure when you guys will see updates from The ID and the Ego or Before I Sleep. I wish it weren't like that, but I would like to get used to everything before I buckle down to work on comics. It might be a few weeks or it may be a few months.

Just try to be patient with me. Sooner or later I'll be able to draw the comic again. For right now I am excited about lessons and am playing The World Ends With You in order to get my mind off of things.

Alright, so way more people wanted in on the learning madness than I thought. *sniff* You guys make me so proud. So anyway, this journal hopefully will give closure to any questions. If you want to be a student for the lessons you HAVE TO READ THE WHOLE JOURNAL!

How to get in? :
So as you guys may know I am busy. This possibly means you are busy as well. As you read about this you may think that the lessons are a great idea so you jump on the bandwagon. However sooner than you realize you find out that this is a lot harder than you thought and quit. We don’t want that. This is all free, and I will trust that when you guys become students that you will complete the exercises. You are welcome to leave at any time, but I don’t want slacking. I am extremely strict when it comes to that sort of thing. Mainly because it doesn’t work in the real world.

So in order to be accepted you will have to do a little exercise to see if you are willing to take time out of your day to do this. If you don’t finish it by the deadline then sadly I can’t allow you to partake in the fun.

What you will have to do is draw a one page comic showing something about yourself. It can be anything. It can be a part of your story, it can be you chilling out, or it can even be your dog. Hell, if you are really out of ideas then tell me why you want to be in comics. Sounds easy right? If you want to learn then obviously you have a reason.

This one page comic will be based off of effort and NOT TALENT. The minimum panels you can have is 6. If you draw like you are 5 but give me a 8 paneled, fully covered page you have a much better chance then a person who draws very well but only have 2 panels. If I have the feeling that you aren’t giving me all of your effort then I cannot accept you. You do not have to do this well. All you have to do is do it.

The due date is August 1st 2008

p.s. If you are a busy person because of college, work, or what not then you do not classify as the slackers I am talking about. If you are having problems for whatever reason then just tell me and I will provide extensions. This doesn't apply to the entrance project though since I am giving you about 2 and a half weeks.

Edit: Note me the entries, folks.

How does it work? :

I would like you guys to know that I base all of my lessons on the comfort of the mind. When the mind is not comfortable it is forced to adapt and learn. I work based off of that. That means all of this will be hard. Very hard. This will also mean you possibly will draw things you hate. You might want to jump out of the window, but at least once you get out of the hospital you will have learned the great world of art.

The lessons will be split in two semesters (sept I hope it won’t take us a year to do this xD). First semester is How To Draw Your Own Style. It will be a step-by-step process through each comic. Basically, when I accept you, you will receive a note and in the note I will explain you the first project along with my e-mail. After you are done with that project you will e-mail it to me. If I pass you, you get to move on, but if you fail then you have to redo the project again (see, told you it’s hard xD).

The project is a series of 6 comic book pages each with a different style:


Chibi
Invader Zim
JTHM
Disney
Shoujo
Western Comics
Your Style

People have asked me if they could change the styles. I would prefer not to for the lessons not because I am a fan of what I written, but because it’s the easiest way for the brain to learn. However, if you really really want to change it then you can ask me and I’ll see if the assistant teachers will approve.

The second semester is for the people who are looking at comics in a serious light. This is when I’ll help you form a proper character and story. If you have a story then I will heavily criticize it and help you get started.

Examples of comic pages:

From Michelle: [link] and [link]

From James: [link]

What is the comic I will have to research?:

Johnny The Homicidal Maniac: No, I am not having you guys research it cause I am a huge fan girl. Partly because I am not. The reason why is because I have met teachers (several people may know one) who hate JTHM. JTHM is just a gothic comic to a lot of people. Because of this I have picked this comic because, once again, it makes the mind uncomfortable. I feel as though if I pi... ]]> ~Mind-Tricks http://Mind-Tricks.deviantart.com/journal/19381389/ http://Mind-Tricks.deviantart.com/journal/19381389/ Sun, 13 Jul 2008 23:04:16 PDT
I've been wanting to start this for a few months since I've been teaching my friend how to draw comics, but I didn't know how well it would go until it was a couple months in. From what I've seen he's been improving a lot from the lessons I've been giving him.

Now, the lessons aren't starting now. I am getting a few things done, but I was thinking that maybe starting August I could start this if anyone is interested. I know it's hard to do comics, and I had to live with teaching myself. It's hard, and so if anyone wants help I am more than willing.

The lessons plan I am using will be exactly the same as the one I am giving . We'll be working with my "How to draw your own style" tutorial with a few add ins. Also, you'll have to do study guides from a comic book I choose. After that I'll move into storybook tutorials, and critics on character designs. Details will be expressed in another journal if I have takers.

Keep in mind that these lessons aren't easy. It will take time out of your day. If you want to do it you have to be serious about drawing or comics.

So what do you guys think? I'm a rookie like most people, but we can learn together. I've been studying all of my life, and am proud of it.

is also one of the teachers. She is a hard core critic and knows her stuff (trust me..O__O)

Edit: Oops, forgot to add as a assistant teacher. Sorry, Jenni!

So this is how it goes, you all will be able to request as many themes as you want. Even if you already posted a list, you can post again later if you think of more ideas. The only things you can't request is offensive stuff like the BIS characters naked. You can do suggestive themes just not them having sex with one another, or some sick fetish. That includes Yoai, shonen-ai, Yuri, Shoujo-ai.

As you guys type it down I will pick my favorites and put them in my top ten list. The top ten list will be the themes I'll draw, however, just because your theme is in the top ten does NOT mean that I may draw it. It all depends on time and schedule.

I have already picked a them for the top ten from the last post. The rest of the requests will be in the "theme bucket" ready to me looked at later.

Edit: These pictures will be posted on my account. I would post it on this one, but I don't like interrupting the comic.

Also, try to expand your mind for the themes. You can do emotions, moods, books, movies, seasons, careers, music, fashion, time periods, nations, genres, sports, magical creatures, video games, etc etc. Don't just give me anime cause I am not much of an anime reader anymore.

Then I came up with an idea. The idea is themed multi character pictures that would be requested from the fans. For example I would have one "Ballroom" themed or maybe even "alien". I was just going to draw random drawings, but I thought...why not? It's a cute idea and allows you guys to get to know more characters then just Doodle himself.

I'm not sure though how many people would go along with this. I like getting the fans to interact with whatever story I am writing. It's been that way even if it's just Michelle, my best friend Jenny, and me.

So what do you guys say? I could do this over the summer for good fun. If I get enough people to say yeah then I'll make another journal after the next page of BIS is uploaded (which will be in a couple of weeks) in order to explain how it'll go down.

I've had it for a while, but didn't decide to show it until today because I still needed to do some more HTML work and all. The reason why I did it today was because of a strange after effect of a phobia to shots. Making MySpace pretty was the only thing keeping my attention span. All I really have up there is my reviews, really, but it's awfully pretty.

ANYWAY if you have a MySpace I'll friend you and we'll take over the world together....or whatever nonsense you do on the site.

I had this on my other account, but I think it's more suited for this one.

It's supposed to be for other characters...but...I am doing my own because I am cool.

Choose 12 characters and then answer these questions

1. Doodle
2. Erin
3. Stevey
4. Jay
5. Nick
6. Principal
7. Mr. Evans
8. David
9. Jenifer
10. Candy
11. The Insane Artist
12. The Prep

1. Which number brings you luck ?.

Well number 12 does, but I dunno if the prep has anything to deal with that...

In fact she has nothing to deal with it xD

2. Who would be better teacher in college, 6 or 11 ?. Which subject would they teach ?.

Oh jeasus. Uhhhh well the insane artist even though he is well...insane. He can act like he is sane well and is a bit more professional. The principal just sucks and I would worry what the principle would do to innocent children.

3. Do you think that number 4 is sexy ?. How much ?.

LOL! Yeah I guess Jay is. He's pretty cool with his blind fold and all. he's kind of a fictional character so I can't say much.

4. Number 12 is sending 8 on a mission. What is it and will it work out ?.

She would probably send poor David to do her shopping. I could just imagine that...him walking beside her totally not moved by her personality.

5. What is number 9 favourite book ?.

Probably some romance book. I can totally see that. Some murder mystery involving a middle aged woman who just divorced.

6. What would have more sense … 2 talking bad things to 6 or 6 talking bad things to number 2 ?. XD

Without a doubt Erin would bad mouth the principal. I mean seriously who wouldn't? The Principal probably doesn't even know she exists.

7. Why number 5 is seeking a roommate?. Should she live with 9 or 10 ?.

How do you know whether or not the character is a she? Anyway...

Nick would room with Candy. Candy is a little bit more of his style. She has the same attire and everything. I bet they'd get a long with well with one another.

8. 3 want to fight with 10. What is happening ?.

Aww Stevey would never fight anybody. He's just a cute little guy that wouldn't hurt nobody. Especially a girl like Candy.

9. If 1 steal 9 his most precious thing, what would 9 do to take it back ?.

9 is a chick, and it would be...well...her dignity. If you took her job...well..she probably would be very pissed. Probably couldn't do much, but would give you dirty looks.

10. Try to suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 gain what they want the most.

Lazy Summer Days? These questions are getting weird....

11. What would you do to make 4 and 1 be together ?.

HAHAHAHA! woooooo.

Feed them to the fan girls.

12. If 7 visits you this weekend, what would you do ?.

Kick him in the nuts.

13. If you could make 3 do one thing for you, what would it be ?.

Gimme a hug. He's so cute.

14. Was anyone from your friend’s list writing or drawing number 11 ?.

No. No one really knows who that is yet. They will know later.

15. If 2 have to choose 4 or 5, who would he choose ?.

Nick. She is best friends with Nick so she knows him more than Jay. Hell, she doesn't even know how Jay looks like.

16. What could 10 screamed while going to fight ?.

Candy just kicks their ass. There's no screaming.

17. If you have to choose one song which is representing 8, what would it be ?.

No idea. Honestly...no clue.

18. 1,6 and 12 are in a dark, chinese restaurants. There left only one pancake and everyone are trying to get the last one in the same moment… Finish this sentence.

Whoa, grammar.

Anyway...Doodle, the principle, and The Prep....trying to get a pancake...

Why would they even be sitting together? CREEPY. The Prep would probably just flash Doodle. Doodle would be on the floor half dead, and then The Prep would push the principle over. She is determined.

19. What could 2 say to 10 if 2 wants to go out with 10?.

That's awkward. I'm not answering that.

20. For what number 5 would be arrested ?.

Wrong place at the wrong time.

21. What secret does 6 have ?.

Use your imagination. Don't try too hard though...you might vomit a little.

22. If 11 a... ]]> ~Mind-Tricks http://Mind-Tricks.deviantart.com/journal/18479297/ http://Mind-Tricks.deviantart.com/journal/18479297/ Sat, 24 May 2008 16:22:00 PDT WELCOME

Summer is coming up which means I have free time! Next Year I would like to go to San Diego Comic Con, but with College is might be a little hard. I'm opening commissions for anyone who wants any.

Want one? NOTE ME.

EDIT: Prices lowered. I think I put them just a wee bit too high. I did that cause I really do spend a ton of time on these things. However, I can't make you guys broke xD.
Live and learn.


CARTOONS: Any style from Anime, Western Comics, my own style, or Disney. If you ask for a character already produced in the media than I will use the style I think suits the character best. However, if you want a specific style please tell me. I can do any.

Inked drawings: $15 dollars.

Fully colored pieces: $40 dollars.



REALISM: I've been taught how to do realism since I was little. I am best with this style. If you need a photo drawn for someone I will do it whether it's a dog or your baby sister. If you do realism I will need a photo. I don't do color. Also, if you choose this style then I'll probably will send you the picture.

Full Black and White Pencil Drawing: $70


I try very hard on these drawings. I try my best to give you a dynamic picture with back ground. This is going to be worth your money. If you have an original character, I will most likely change up the character design. I like doing that a lot, but if you don't want me to tell me.

Thank you very much.

Sorry to tell you guys that updates are back on thursdays. I really wanted them to be on their regular schedule, but my brother came over for a couple of weeks and I am going to spend time with him. Plus graduation is coming up and so I have to get ready for that.

THE INTERVIEW PROJECT

So, I have talked about this before, but I'm going to speak about it again. There is a project me and are doing where at the end of our comics we have a "interview" page. Basically I pick a victim from the comic book, and the interviewer (me) will ask them questions. The twist is, the questions are from YOU guys. Any one who has the best question for the upcoming character gets chosen to be in the comic. That's right, I am drawing these interviews and they will be able to be seen at the very end of the volume.

What kind of questions should you ask?

You can ask basically anything you want. All I'm looking for is interesting and that includes funny ones. Yes, you can ask whether Doodle would like to marry a mongoose or a octopus.

Who is the upcoming character?

ME! Yes, it won't be any of the characters drawn in the comic. This is because this project is new and it's very hard to get people to be a part of it. Having me in the first volume helps grab people's attention. Plus, by volume 2 you guys might think of some really messed up stuff for me. If you have questions for other characters, just wait to ask those when I make a journal for them.

I would have made this journal later, but knowing me, I'll forget about it. I'll remind everyone this thing is here every once in a while. You can also ask more than one question since I don't expect any of you guys to be apart of this project until the story matures.

(hint for this line of questioning: Remember that this is going to be in the comic. it might be a good idea to ask me questions relating it. )

Have fun, and thanks to everyone who is watching me. It means a lot.

Today, I looked up twitters and said to myself "This site....is stupid. Not just stupid but REAL stupid." Two seconds later....I joined.

*sighs* The reason why is because I am not exactly ME on the site. Recently, it's been really hard to get in character when I am writing BIS. It's just a few wondrous things that cause me to have a blank face when I draw these comics. Mainly it's things rolling around in my brain like school and college. My resolution: Twitter.

I don't see a great deal of a point in Twitter, but hey...maybe typing a few sentences about my day as a fictional character will help me understand Doodle a little more.

So before I talk myself out of doing this, or realize how weird this idea is....

[link]

So, in case people are confused, the person on the site is DOODLE...or me acting like Doodle. He's a FICTIONAL character...so whatever written there is not real. If you want to know what I think about the world...go to my Live Journal.

Oh yes and so that you know....if you guys join or "follow me"...you are officially a UBER nerd.

It's not a bad thing.

Okay so yesterday was insane. I went on my ImagineTheEnding account and was like "doo doo doo wonder how many messages I got today~" when suddenly I saw 300+ messages sitting in my message box. I was practically freaking out screaming hideously. My sister had to calm me down and everything.

And so because of yesterday's craze there are now a lot more people on this account. . I wanted to make a journal as a HUGE thanks to all the people who commented. You have no idea how happy I am. Yesterday i was smiling all day and was all dazed.

Before hand I didn't get much comments and had a few watchers. Since the watchers nearly tripled I am going to quickly recap about the account.

Firstly, the comment normally updates every Tuesday and Friday. Lately though it's been updated on Thursday because of a school project. I might even have a break between Issue 1 and Issue 2 because of the stupid thing.

The comic is about 5 volumes long. It's not a short series or anything like that. As for publishing, some people have been asking me about that. I am trying to get the comic book published currently. It takes a long time though to find out whether or not the company likes my comic. Sadly you and I will have to wait patiently. It takes up to 6 months or more.

Also, since I told my first group of watchers this, there is a thing called the "Interview project". That will be posted underneath every journal update I do as a reminder that it is indeed there.

I guess that's all....THANKS SO MUCCHH I LOVE YOU GUYS!

Oh yes, and Doodle is a guy, and I am a girl. Just so there is no complications .

I've just received a stupid school project this week which has caused me to redo my schedule. The project is going to take a lot of my time, so even though I am ahead of you guys, the project might cause me to have a huge draw back. So this means that you guys can no longer see a page Tuesday and Friday. I have changed it to where you guys can only see one page a week so that you guys won't catch up to me. The day that the pages will be posted will be every Thursday from now until the project is due.

Having me in the first volume helps grab people's attention. Plus, by volume 2 you guys might think of some really messed up stuff for me. If you have questions for other characters, just wait to ask those when I make a journal for them.

I would have made this journal later, but knowing me, I'll forget about it. I'll remind everyone this thing is here every once in a while. You can also ask more than one question since I don't expect any of you guys to be apart of this project until the story matures.

(hint for this line of questioning: Remember that this is going to be in the comic. it might be a good idea to ask me questions relating it. )

Have fun, and thanks to everyone who is watching me. It means a lot.

This account is for 's comic, Before I Sleep! I hope you enjoy what you read here.

NEWS

So, I have talked about this before, but I'm going to speak about it again. There is a project me and are doing where at the end of our comics we have a "interview" page. Basically I pick a victim from the comic book, and the interviewer (me) will ask them questions. The twist is, the questions are from YOU guys. Any one who has the best question for the upcoming character gets chosen to be in the comic. That's right, I am drawing these interviews and they will be able to be seen at the very end of the volume.

What kind of questions should you ask?

You can ask basically anything you want. All I'm looking for is interesting and that includes funny ones. Yes, you can ask whether Doodle would like to marry a mongoose or a octopus.

Yeah, this account is for my comic book Before I Sleep. If you don't know who I am, I am .

It's been about 5 months since I've last uploaded Before I Sleep. The one I am posting now is NOT the same version as I had before. The style has been tweaked, and well...I like this one so much more.

What is the comic about? Well, read and find out. Even the summary spoils the story.

I'm going to start having a scheduled time that I post up these comic book pages. I will start to update every Tuesday and Friday. The only time I won't do this is if I forget, or because I was unable to make another page.

Right now I have 14 pages done, so there shouldn't be a shortage any time soon.

Woooo~

Yeah, this account is for my comic book Before I Sleep. If you don't know who I am, I am .

It's been about 5 months since I've last uploaded Before I Sleep. The one I am posting now is NOT the same version as I had before. The style has been tweaked, and well...I like this one so much more.

FAQ:

-Mr.Evans is not one of my teachers from school. I've gotten that from classmates, and well, I'll assure you that I would never make fun of a real life person. That's immature.

-Doodle is a guy. He may look feminine, but that's only because of my twisted humor.

-This comic is not just a webcomic. Basically I am serious about it, and am not just sitting down going "doo doo doo what should I draw my little character doing?" If there is a mistake there is a reason for it.

-And this comic book is NOT based on my life. I wouldn't do half of what Doodle does because he is a lot more braver than me =3.


And so enjoy.

P.s. that white dot by my icon is annoying the crap out of me. I keep staring at it hoping it'll go away. For some reason my icon won't change to the animated version. Totally pissing me off...
