Bitter Silence

Thu Apr 30, 2009, 1:40 PM
This is just a handful of musings about my new comic. First of all it is based on something that I have dreamed about most of my life...awake and asleep. Yeah, I know that is weird. ;) It came from an incident in my childhood where I watched my parents chasing a wasp around the house and spraying it with all sorts of things until it died. I felt really sorry for that wasp. LOL! XD So anyway this is something that has been stewing in my brain for quite awhile. I don't know why I got the sudden urge to draw it out comic style...but eh...I follow where my muse leads. ;)

This is also turning out to be longer than I originally thought. The story is just flowing through me right now, and I just draw and write it down. I know right now I am updating a page a day, but I probably won't continue that pace the whole time. Every once in a while I do have a thing called a life that doesn't include drawing (boo). ;) Also I know right now the story is really cutesy, but it is also going to deal with a lot of more serious and adult themes. If someone was to ask me what this story was about, I would say it is about prejudice, racism, sexism, ignorance, and war and what hell all of those things can make people's lives. So you've been warned. ;) Vrizz will remain as cute as ever throughout though. XD

One more thing before I turn things over to you, Vrizz and Caroline are both young adults. I know my style might make them look younger, but they certainly aren't. Of course hopefully there are enough hints in the story (Caroline living alone and having a job, Vrizz obviously being past breeding age) about that fact. ;)

So what do you all think so far?

That's great! I got attacked by a swarm of bees because my brother tried climbing a tree and landed on their nest, but that was a long time ago and they're still pretty cool. XD

Yeah, you can't hate a creature for doing what's in it's nature to do. XD And I find all social insects fascinating. I'm having great fun writing about a wasp society in human terms. XD

That's really cool, and it's a great idea. Maybe then people will understand wasps better instead of freaking out at the sight of them like most people I know ;]

I know what you mean. It's best just to follow your muse instead of going against it. ^^; I love that we're getting a page a day, but yeah, I know that it won't stay that way all the time. Just update when you can.

Yup, I know all about you and your muse...or is it muses? XD My muse is certainly in wasp form right now. XD So who am I to argue? XD

I really want to update again tonight, but my freakin' peach marker is dead and I won't be in the city to buy more markers until Saturday. >< So I am debating on delaying it, or using a peach colored pencil instead. XD

:iconilovemybishies87:
I have no idea if it's one or more muse(s). True, never argue with your muse--especially if they're in wasp form.

Noes!~ D: Oh well, I think it's worth the wait to get the peach marker, but it's up to you.
