STREAM CANCELLED TONIGHT!
General | Posted 12 years agoI Have a megahuge project im working on for an undisclosed aim. And im abiding by an unofficial NDA. If for some reason i get done with it EARLY i will be working on personal projects afterward and possibly lurking in other livestreams. If i don't collapse from exhaustion before then.
So just a heads up Streaming will resume Sunday night. Expect more overlord comics in the interim if i'm nod dead to rights by tonight.

Things to know about me and Livestream.
General | Posted 12 years agoi guess this bears repeating, the sad thing being that it needs to be said in the first place but hey ho.
I do not care if you want to chat with me in the livestream, heck I encourage it. HOWEVER a certain level of decorum must be taken into account.
FIRST AND FORMOST:
if you have a link you want to share and your request goes UNANSWERED. odds are my answer is "no." i have a million things running around in the stream between having to make sure customers are paying, getting thier artwork from the drop box, getting references up for the next one, finding the file if its an upgrade, and all around trying to focus on what is helping me make a living.
I do not have TIME to give you individualistic attention when you start demanding it.
If i do not respond to a request to share a link DO NOT HOUND ME about it. DO NOT THROW A TANTRUM THAT I AM IGNORING YOU. As i stated above I cannot cater to people individually in the streams ESPECIALLY when it is demanded of me, and demanded of me before i "get" to respond to you. It will only put me off to responding to you at all. I deal with attention mongers with the opposite approach, I ignore them. THE BEST way to get me to ignore you is to repeatedly demand my attention in-channel. Slow down, sit back, realize that I'm busy, trying to run a business and respect that you aren't the only one in the stream.
You're not a special snowflake that's exempt from the rules or social graces just because you want to be all chummy with me. You're not exempt from behaving like an adult JUST BECAUSE you decided to GRACE me with your presence. MY Livestream, My rules, my business.
This also bridges into any other aspect of my livestream/artgifts/rp forums etc.
Asking for something only decreases the likelihood of me doing it. I'm actually AFRAID to do gift art for people BECAUSE of this. I DO give discounts, I do gift free artwork on a very rare basis and if you get any of this from me CHERISH it but don't rub it in everyone's face that you got it from me. Be humble. If you get free stuff from me for any reason, it's because I respect you, care for you, and feel like you've deserved it. Don't make me regret that.
I'm trying to foster a similar environment in my channel as Gen's stream. (the Little Tales community) I don't have as many mods to keep people in check, i'm trying to keep everyone in line mostly by myself most of the time. It gets overwhelming and its hard to find people to mod that I trust won't go "drunk with power" and start swinging the hammer at every small offense. It's also hard to find people who won't brag about having that power even if they never use it. It tends to scare newbies away really quick.
So please do me a huge favor and don't be an attention whore. if you want attention so bad, start your own livestream, earn your own viewership and be the star of your own show, while you're in my livestream, you're there to hang out, have fun, and have fun converstation with me and other streamers. Not to turn it into your own personal Me show.
I'm not singling out any one person with this so PLEASE if you think im talking about you, odds are i'm not. Its just something ive noticed lately especially with new people coming into the stream every day and having the rules not be something they inherently know.
TL;DR, If you demand attention from me, its the easiest way for me to ignore you. I don't play those games.

NO STREAM TONIGHT (saturday)
General | Posted 12 years agoIm dead tired when i finally culminate enough energy to draw it will be toward more overlord Comics, which i MAY stream much later tonight, but don't bet on it. I'll post a notice if and when. But for now... im tired, and im working on the mental outline of the next chapter of the story so its coehsive. I litterally am writing this as I go, i have a general idea of where i want to take it but theres allot of droping plot twists on a whim.
Next couple "chapters" will be fun as i actually have a more recursive storyline I want to show that ties in alot of the former things too which i love doing.
Also alot more of me being pure evil in the near future so stay tuned.

I hate Taxes...
General | Posted 12 years agoFinal figures for moving, taxes, and marginally more expensive rent... im looking at practically destroying the savings i managed to scrape together this year. this.. whole....year.... savings which i SCRAPED together so i wouldnt have to worry about it 95% of it is going toward TAXES.
hate to do this to myself and everyone else but nightly goal is going up to $200 minimum, i will be starting earlier than usual for the next several months in HOPES i can somehow recover the losses.
My accountant is a moron, the governement wants to kill small business, and having no income tax to take out of my income as i make it only to pay it at the end of the year is whats killing me now,
Im switching accountants to someone who is actually cares, and switching to quarterlies.
This year is going to be full of events, and other things. and LOTS OF ADVERTISING.

Ask the overlord blog, overlord forum, overlord comic
General | Posted 12 years agoI've decided to put the pages for the overlord comic, starting with needles onward onto the overlord blog with a bit of an expositon to kind of tie-in an overarching story along with interludes where people can ask how the overlord might be reacting to any given situation happening in the comic (or bane as well.) I'll post 3 of the comics up there each day and leave the askbox open for questions. Only relevant questions to the storyline will be answered and the rest will be put on-hold untill a more appropo time to answer them (or if they're funny enough, provide comic releif.)
The forum takes place BEFORE the comic does and will have a storyline inwhich I will be playing the characters within and allow the minions to react to various things as they effect the base. each post made on that storyline will detail at least one if not multiple pages of the comic depending on where input can take place.

If my Characters had Voice actors...
General | Posted 12 years agoI thought this would be fun. I obviously can't do male-register voices much justice so yeah FUN.
Overlord Fox/bane: Me. (big surprise.)
Fenriria; Evanna Lynch (some might know her as the acresss of Luna Lovegood in Harry Potter. Fen would have an Airy elegant voice that would be a bit of a whisper when speaking normally.
Garret Silver: Anthony Rapp ( i had THOUGHT of giving him Knockout's VA as he's lightly based off of him, but I opted for a younger voice as he's kind of became more.. innocent than I originally intended, Anthony Rapp played Mark Cohen in the original broadway cast of RENT.)
Richard Titan:... Keith David: suggested by wolfkidd, it really is pretty darn perfect.
Hector Fen: Adam Pascal, (A rough and gravely voice thats fully capable of the "im tired of this" tone. Played Rodger in RENT and also Rademes in AIDA and Freddy Trumper in one of the Recordings of Chess. Listen to him singing "one night and Bangkok" and you might get to imagine Hector dancing rather humorously.)
Darius Steele: So surprise its Steeve Blum, (with the full on gravel that is Starscream's voice. this guy has done freaking EVERYTHING.)
Doodle Steele: Tara Strong (because really, WHY NOT?)
Airbrush: Ashleigh Ball could do her alot beter justice than I could but less "rainbow dash" and more "blythe" from LPS.
Redawn Fenwatcher: Lucy Lieu. don't judge me.
ZahnZing Fenwatcher: Dante Bosco. (known for voicing Prince Zuko in Avatar)
Ning Fenwatcher: Greg Baldwin, (he replaced Mako when he died as the voice of Uncle Iroh from Avatar)

State of fanfiction, overlord comics, etc.
General | Posted 12 years agoSo my mom's coming in for the week to help me pack and such for my imminent move back to tennesee and into my new (and bigger yay) apartment. She'll be here a little over a week and during that time i'm going to be occupied doing stuff with her. I'll still work in the evenings as per normal but my time for arting on my own is a wee bit limited, so.
I'm probably going to have to cut back on how often i upload the overlord comic to MAYBE once a day or once every other day. Thankfully we got past the most recent arc so the next ones will be starting a new one. I'll be writing down ideas while im out with her so i won't be stopping work on it alltogether. once i am moved and settled into my own place, i'll start it back up.
The fanfiction with Starscream and Airbrush isn't dead, promise, i'm afraid full blown comics to illustrate the scenes at the beginning wont be possible this week, so im going back to quick sketchy messes for the time being.
I'll be back to full capacity sometime soon after the 16th of this month, it might take me a few days more to settle in so be patient with me.

Once again to all my new watchers
General | Posted 12 years agosince putting up the new FA advert ive gotten a good 200 of you, yay me.
Figured i'd give you a few little rundowns of what to expect from me.
1. I tend to obsess about something I like for a really long time. Be it Ponies, transformers or a certain videogame I take a particular shine too. It does eventually peeter off after awhile, especially with games, (tv series takes awhile) and it will become a less-obsessive but still dearly held interest.
2. I have ADD, and if you are familiar with this or have it yourself, you know it tends to lead itself to short attention spans. I RARELY do artwork without an audience or some kind of reward for my efforts. When people start loosing interest in a particular project, the wind falls out of my sails and I have a nasty habit of abandoning it. To prevent this from happening to something im doing that you like, make sure you show the project appreciation.
3. See #1
4. If you've gone through all of my gallery and have uncovered the "Crazy people" comics. Yes i will do more of them, No i have not run out of ideas. Yes people are still crazy, no I am not NEARLY as violent as that, or unapproachable.
5. the BEST way to contact me is through notes. My emails are mostly spam and i barely check them anymore, the one that I do have that isn't flooded with said spam is for exclusively personal use and I don't give it out. NOTES.
6. Please don't be offended if you add me on an instant messenger and I proceed to never talk to you, or appear as perpetually invisible. I work on lots of things day-to-day and I really really value my quiet time. I'm horrible getting to know most people on a one-on-one basis, and I dislike being pressured into people wanting to "get to know me better". The best way to get to know me is on my streams in a 'public' setting where I feel like i'm not being dominated by any one individual's conversation. I'm much more outgoing and open on my livestreams, I'm actually incredibly shy otherwise and need to warm up to people before I engage them one-on-one. You'll know if i've warmed up to you, trust me.
7. please remember that first and formost my livestreams are for running a business. Literally 100% of my income is comissions and I treat my livestreams as my Job, i go in, i put in the work, I log off when goal is reached (allthough i usually stick around and do personal work untill im tired.) I'm totally cool with chatting with you while you're there and I LOVE to talk to people who attend them, but please be respectful of the environment as well. Treat it like a nice dinner theatre, sometimes the show gets a little silly, and I've been known to desintegrate into hyena like laughter over the simplest things.
8. Yes, art is my full-time job and I'm constantly tweeking and improving my business model so that its fair to both myself and my clientelle. This is how I support myself, "living the dream" as it were. I graduated from CCAD with a degree (beleive it or not) in Time based media, which is a fancy shmancy way of saying I was a film/animation major. I minored unofficially in illustration and thank goodness I did seeing as I can do a bunch of fancy things in art programs and with watercolors/copics.

CHECK OUT THIS AWESOME.
General | Posted 12 years agoThe Overlord Sketch comics + Names and Symbolism
General | Posted 12 years agoSo I started adding navigiation buttons to the comic whiiiich took me the better part of the afternoon, go figure. I also went back and added additional commentary, clarifying a few things, and just all around trying to make everything a bit less confusing. the "first" comic starts with "Father daugter bonding and goes through some of the preliminary sketching phases before delving headlong into the story, the reason for this being that they developmental sketches answer a handful of questions some people had and didn't know where the story really "began."
So enjoy Fox once again doing crazy things with a silly little passtime.
So one thing ive always enjoyed was using symbolism in my work be it through names, visuals or just items.
But names are my favorite if a bit obvious venue.
Take for example the three named Aliens of Titan's ship.
Richard Titan (or more acurately Titanium): First name after Richard the Lionheart, Ive stated before that had Richard decided instead to assume more animalistic apperances for himself and his crew he'd have been a lion. It's also a strong name i Personally heavily associate with Regality and being a leader. Albiet a cruel one in this particular case. And once again my unintended racism toward lions to cast them as villians rears its ugly head. Titanium because its unassumingly strong metal and many of the planets inhabitants from which they came revere metalic substances with reverence. I've yet to determine if they had "alien' names on thier home world, and they simply "translated" them.
Darius Steele, Darius has several meanings depending on what origin you go for, meaning everything from "posessive" to "king" I could see no better subtle name for someone who is based off of Starscream, who is also posessive of his titles and strives to be just that, an ultimate ruler. Steel, a strong metal but not as strong as Titanium he's still not as fragile as he lets on, bouncing back as often as he's been knocked down.
Garret Silver: Garret like many other names has more than one meaning. Two of which suit him rather well. "Gentle" and "spear holder" if you count a scalpel as a spear its rather fitting. When I was choosing last names for the three aliens I wanted Titan's to have the strongest metal, and Silver to have a metal that appropriately reflected his vanity. "Gold" didn't have the same ring to it and seemed too gaudy of a name, even for someone as narcisitic as Silver. i decided on Silver for more than one reason, its a more delicate metal, you don't, in your right mind, make weapons out of silver because its soft and an oxidizer which means it actively cleans wounds. (not unlike a doctor hah) The backing of a mirror is most commonly referred to as Silver and once upon a time quicksilver was used to make mirrors. And with Silver's Vanity being named after an ingredient in mirror-manufacture only made sense. Also Silver is almost excusively used for cosmetic purposes.
So enjoy Fox once again doing crazy things with a silly little passtime.

And once again my unintended racism toward lions to cast them as villians rears its ugly head. Titanium because its unassumingly strong metal and many of the planets inhabitants from which they came revere metalic substances with reverence. I've yet to determine if they had "alien' names on thier home world, and they simply "translated" them.
Darius Steele, Darius has several meanings depending on what origin you go for, meaning everything from "posessive" to "king" I could see no better subtle name for someone who is based off of Starscream, who is also posessive of his titles and strives to be just that, an ultimate ruler. Steel, a strong metal but not as strong as Titanium he's still not as fragile as he lets on, bouncing back as often as he's been knocked down.
Garret Silver: Garret like many other names has more than one meaning. Two of which suit him rather well. "Gentle" and "spear holder" if you count a scalpel as a spear its rather fitting. When I was choosing last names for the three aliens I wanted Titan's to have the strongest metal, and Silver to have a metal that appropriately reflected his vanity. "Gold" didn't have the same ring to it and seemed too gaudy of a name, even for someone as narcisitic as Silver. i decided on Silver for more than one reason, its a more delicate metal, you don't, in your right mind, make weapons out of silver because its soft and an oxidizer which means it actively cleans wounds. (not unlike a doctor hah) The backing of a mirror is most commonly referred to as Silver and once upon a time quicksilver was used to make mirrors. And with Silver's Vanity being named after an ingredient in mirror-manufacture only made sense. Also Silver is almost excusively used for cosmetic purposes.
A little bit of background info on the recent sketch comics.
General | Posted 12 years agoI decided to take the human formers idea a step further and make a handful of overlord-appropo universe characters for the overlord Fox to have a close quarter enemy.
The characters are varying levels of being based off of the character villians of TF prime, the closest adaptation being Darius Steele from Starscream. More loosely based is Garret Silver, based loosely off of Knockout, and Richard Titan loosly based off of Megatron.
They're aliens crashlanded on the overlord's island Richard Titan was injured badly in the crash and was almost killed by Darius while he was helpless. (we see how well that ended for him) during the time that Titan was out of commission Darius assumed command of Titan's minions. It was during one of his excursions out of the ship that he found a baby Doodle, abandoned by her people, a tribe of animals, who had offered her as a sacrifice to the volcano gods every ten years. Darius took her back with him and proceeded to treat her as a cross between a pet and a child but quickly became a loving father figure to her.
When Titan returned and beat the tar out of Darius he almost finished the job untill he found out about Doodle. From that moment on he used her as a device to keep Darius loyal to him, using none-to-subtle threats of getting rid of her if he ever got out of line. He never referred to her by her name let alone her Gender. She was always "it" "pet" and "whelp" to him depending on his level of frustration with her at the time.
Garret Silver is the Crew's surgeon and Doctor, Up untill he met Hector he's had no romantic drive toward anyone so he's only most recently realized he's gay by the world's standards that he ilves in. The aliens on ther home planet are agendered and don't look much different from thier human forms they have now. (hence choosing human apperances, its eerily similar to how they looked on thier home planet.) some aliens would appear more "female" than male and would, if they came to earth, choose female forms. But by and large they only "appear" to be male or female as the aliens themselves have no distinctive gender.
In choosing Human forms they also have human biology for the most part and require yearly vaccinations to remain healthy. Without them they'd be susceptible to our planet's diseases. Garret is almost obsessed with the study of pathogens because not only does understanding them improve thier chances of survival on thier new home planet theres a chance he can create something new and devastating against thier enemies.
The comics "in case you needed a reminder" "What uncles are for" and "Revenge" take place a few months after Doodle was Adopted by Darius. "Needles" and onward Take place 10 years later.
HOPE THAT HELPS.

Three awesome things have come out of me writing my horrible fanfiction of horrible.
1.learning im not a terrible writer and can actually write a story that people enjoy is a help to my confidence levels.
2. learning how to do well developed vector backgrounds. And Backgrounds in general that don't look like awful blurry messes. To the point im actually confident enough to start thinking of including them more for commissions.
3.Writing is oddly therapudic, I can push alot of my emotional things into them and I get the same satisfaction I get from Rping with a character I love to play. Writing for starscream is both fun and challenging because his character is litterally forming the story to what he would do in a certain situation.
All that being said theres still a few things that bug me about it.
I still have issues with the fact the story is still a bit self-serving which I hate but at the same time its also Therapy so I can forgive it to some degree. I realized only after I started writing that I had watched the few episodes of Prime that i had managed to snag, out of order. Which means the story fits into MLP Continuity but no-where at all in Prime's continuity. An oversight on my part I wish I could rectify. I was going to try and say it happened sometime in the third season but with Optimus apprently doing his "death-rebirth" thing and the lack of an autobot base.... yeah... whoopsie. So if your trying to determine WHEN this COULD have happened in the prime-verse. Stop. Because the stupid writer watched the dumb series out of order.

I have a little starscream transformer sitting on my couch arm now grinning evilly at me.

Another message to all my new watchers
General | Posted 13 years agoI am Female. 100% biologically mentally and physically female. I'm just a Raving tomboy, so sorry if you thought i was a dude. hope it doesn't change anything :p
To all my New watchers, gotta level with ya
General | Posted 13 years agoI may be UNHEATHILY OBSESSED with my little pony FIM and Transformers prime. You have been warned in advance.
Fun things about me people don't know:
General | Posted 13 years ago1: Never try to bother me when im in solitude because when I want to be alone, i want to be alone. IF you persist, all i will do is ignore you more and your ego will definately take a beating. Don't be hurt when I'm in one of my solitary moods where I prefer to be alone with my thoughts.
2:Music is one of the few ways aside from art I can really be expressive, some people hear music but to me, i listen, hear, feel and experience.
3:I tend to quietly despise selfish behaviour, i less than quietly get annoyed by it.
4:I'm actually horrible when it comes to talking about my emotions, I am however a pro at writing them down disguised as art and heavily symbolic metaphors or expressing them in some other creative or visual way.
5:I hate knowing someone is mad at me, I'll get lost in thought about it and start dwelling on everything i've done wrong.
6:before anything else, I value friendship and freedom. I may not always be the most open book, but when people are truely my friends, they will know it.
7:i have moments where I need to scream everything to the world and then I wake up the next morning wondering just how terrible a mistake it might've been.
