I'll also be going to do a bit of tourist stuff, and take pictures from that, and upload the good ones here. From the restaurants I'll be uploading reviews, and, well, we'll see what else I'll upload later. I've also updated my avatar, as some of you might have noticed, and I've uploaded a larger version of it to my gallery. Well, until next time freaks and geeks, I'll catch you on the flip-side.

1) Writer - That'd be me, but if anyone in the group has any ideas for refining the series or for the future of it, brainstorming and conferencing is amiable.

2) Illustrator(s) - For sure the project will need at least one illustrator, possibly two if one did the characters and one the backgrounds, or some other arrangement...

3) Colorist - This series might possibly work without color, but I believe that it shall be more vivid and pleasing to see it in full color rather than grayscale.

4) Letterer - For now, that's me. If the project accelerates to the point I am unable to keep up, I might put out an ad for one. For right now, though, another letterer is superfluous.

5) Web Coder/Webmaster - All right, I can code html and css, but not nearly as fast as those who have been at it longer than me. In addition, I'd rather have it look more professional than, say, this "classified ad" I put up here.

All of these positions (sans writer and letterer) can be filled by one individual if they wish, but it is my belief that it would lighten the load to share it. In addition, this is a long-range project with no guaranteed payout. If there is any profit gained, it would be divided up among the team members according to the level of involvement they have had with the project itself (For example, if the team consists of 1 illustrator, 1 writer/letter, 1 colorist and 1 webmaster, the profit we be thus- 30% illustrator, 25% colorist, 20% webmaster/coder 30% writer/letterer). If there is no profit, no payments shall be sent.

If you are looking only for a paid job-look elsewhere. If you are looking for a short, one-shot project-look elsewhere. If you are unable to keep a consistent pace, or are constantly fighting with your computer/internet-look elsewhere. This project needs dedication if it is to get off the ground, let alone enter ANY contest or submit it to a publisher. If the group is able to do one complete page every three days, for example, day 1 the script would be illustrated, day 2 it would be colored, and day 3 it would be lettered. As soon as one member finishes their deadline page, the could immediately being on the next page. Day 2 or 3 the script for page 2 would be sent to the illustrator, etc. I currently have issue 1 pages 1-19 scripted, with the rest of the issue plotted out but not formatted yet, and issues 2-12 planned with a basic outline. Each issue would be about 45 pages or slightly less.

Please check the concept art and script page for some minor examples. For further narrowing of the location the story takes place in, it begins in late 2010, in Seattle, WA, USA. Preferably, the art would be done in Western Style, but a hybrid or original style may work as well, if I have seen enough examples to review.

If you believe that you could fill a slot on the team email me at the address below with any questions, comments, sketches, portfolios, etc. Please do not waste my time and yours by asking any question regarding pay, update schedule or another topic fully and clearly covered in the above paragraphs.

AWESOME!!! because of it i will be
able to upload more art more
frequently, as well as run programs
i couldn't before on my older laptop.
i'm so excited! and i just can't hide it!
and i know, i... anyway, tablet pc and
i'm doing a dorky happy dance! ]]> ~mix-o-freak http://mix-o-freak.deviantart.com/journal/13597212/ http://mix-o-freak.deviantart.com/journal/13597212/ Tue, 03 Jul 2007 19:33:20 PDT where i saw the new transformers flick
with my brother. now, normally when the
two of us go to see a movie, we end up
talking it over a lot afterwards and decide
that *at least* fifteen minutes should have
been cut out of the movie, or added if we
knew the story it was based off of. in
addition, if we see/hear anything in the
movie of noteworthy awesomeness
(beyond special effects in general), we
pound our fists together, typically no more
than six times, even for spiderman or
batman. we also typically talk about the
movie for about half an hour afterwards,
going back and forth about what we liked
the most. well, see, this film was different...
first of all, we agreed that less than three
minutes could have been removed, and even
those were still awesome! During the movie
we pounded fists at least, i repeat, at *least*
fifteen times, and afterwards we talked for
about two hours on it and what we liked, back
and forth commenting on it compared to the
various tv and comic series, as well as the
original movie. now, i won't give any spoilers,
but this is a must watch, definitely the best movie
of the year in total. go watch it! XD ]]> ~mix-o-freak http://mix-o-freak.deviantart.com/journal/13415803/ http://mix-o-freak.deviantart.com/journal/13415803/ Wed, 20 Jun 2007 06:26:06 PDT this journal, seeing as how wonderfully together our little
community has always been, but for those that do, here's
to you:

monday night my immune system decided to congratulate
me on not having a sick day in almost ten months by making
me retch out all my food at about midnight. so, yeah, that was
fun. then i woke up tuesday an hour and a half after i was
supposed to be to work (despite setting five alarms. usually
i wake up after the second), and proceeded to regurgitate
what i had thought was an empty stomach, but i was wrong.
so, i called in sick yesterday and started feeling better just
shortly before my shift would have ended. so, i thought "great,
at least that's over with now. i can reset my major sickness
counter now and let it run for another couple of years." (see,
i've had headaches, colds, coughs, etc. before, but nothing
major enough to stop me from coming in to work or school
in, oh, about three and a half years. so, yeah.) then i went
over to my aunt's with my family like i do almost every tuesday.
my dad and bro just got back from a vacation to new york city
and washington d.c., and so they had a lot to share with us,
both memories and souvenirs. (amongst those for me were
a "transformers" drawing book, a "midtown comics" business
card, a "you don't know me" united states federal witness
protection agency tshirt, "ultimate spider-man" volume 1 [and
yes! it is "spider-man"! there's a hyphen there most people
seem to ignore!!! sorry 'bout that, former english major here.
XD], and a "green lantern" green tshirt. all in all, very nice!)
still felt fine until i went to be that night, where i felt a bit quesy
when i laid in bed, and eventually woke up at 5:30 just to rush
over to the toilet, purge, clean, repeat, and call in sick again
when i got back home. so, since i haven't been this sick in a
while and i've thrown up three times in three days, i'm going
to go see a doctor to make sure it's nothing i should be worried
about. i'm not all that concerned, but i do get paid to work, so
i prefer not to take unscheduled days off, whereas in school i
half wanted to skip at least a quarter of the time because of
the general creeping sense of boredom. anyway... so, i'm
waiting for the appointment, and i already have tomorrow off,
so i'm going to work on the "teh comix" site and related stuff,
do some stuff i've been neglecting and take it easy with lotsa
tasty fluidic enjoyments we like to call juice. so, i'll catch you
all on the flip-side, mix-o-freak, the untouchable, signing out.

~mix-o-freak, the other white meat.

oh! and before i forget, check out this topic in the forum to
learn more about teh comix and the community that a few
acquaintances and i are trying to build. we can use all the
help we can get, and we want you!

of the basics of how to create art. i also know
some of the terminology and ways to bs people,
like most artists, into reevaluating my work if they
do not like it. however, i can't force anyone to look
at my work or comment on it. DA is supposed to
be a community, but i've been talked to more by
a parrot than the people on here. i don't really
have much of a right to complain, i suppose, since
i haven't posted a lot on here, or viewed a lot of
other people's stuff. however, i am trying to create
some more stuff to put on here. anyway, i'm
currently working with someone to create a comic i've
been writing for a few years. hopefully we'll be able
to actually make it with less problems than some of
my other projects.

and a few other little things as well), but i've gotten some
artistic ideas and stuff from them. ]]> ~mix-o-freak http://mix-o-freak.deviantart.com/journal/6523693/ http://mix-o-freak.deviantart.com/journal/6523693/ Fri, 16 Sep 2005 20:19:32 PDT happened to me today shall now
be replaced with such a feeling of
joy and happiness for two people
who i do not even know.

i was watching my school's fall variety
show just a few minutes ago and during
one of the acts there were two people on
stage, a male pianist and a female violinist.
the pianist was introducing the act to the
audience and asked his girlfriend, who
without which the song could never have
been written to come on to the stage and
sit on the piano bench next to him.
eventually after the cheering began to
subside she did and the song began. the
song itself was accompanied by a
PowerPoint presentation with the lyrics and
pictures of the pianist and his girlfriend and
you could tell from the pictures that they
were very much in love. he sang about how
everything seemed like a dream and that
she was his princess, his angel. the song
was very beautiful and i hope that the
pianist and violinist end up getting it put
onto a cd because i want to purchase it (it
almost made me cry it was so sweet). then
at end of the song the violinist waited as the
pianist stood up with his sweetheart and told
her how much he loved her, that she was
better than the girl he imagined in his mind
as his perfect wife and that the last three
years had been the happiest years of his
entire life. the girl was starting to be shake
and cry as she began to realize as well as
the entire audience what was coming next.
the pianist got down on one knee and
proposed in front of hundreds of people to
a very happy teary-eyed woman who could
only nod and faintly whisper her reply. on the
way back to here to type this up i saw the
happy, newly engaged couple drive by in an
older vehicle with fully engagement ribbons
and all. now isn't that just something that
makes life beautiful? true love, such a sacred,
beautiful thing that cannot be expressed in
words or actions no matter how we try, no
matter how we fail. i think the pianist did a
very good job of showing his love to his
sweetheart, don't you?

mix-o-freak, a happy observer. ]]> ~mix-o-freak http://mix-o-freak.deviantart.com/journal/6515024/ http://mix-o-freak.deviantart.com/journal/6515024/ Thu, 15 Sep 2005 19:26:26 PDT my name is mix-o-freak
i'm mentally unsteady
and lacking in physique.

i love to write
and create art
i'm here tonight
and full of heart.

i type in all lowercase
with my spirit, soul and mind
i'm the one you can't replace
if you run into a bind.

so if you like
the way i think
then we're alike
so save this link!
