Villainous talk

Fetternity

A conversation got started around work this night and I feel this could be a good topic to bring up here, for the heck of it.

In a totally non-silly, serious credible and thoughtful fanboy way, who do you think is the BEST VILLAIN in comic book history? Not the most powerful, not the most badass, not the most homicidal or demented.

Simply, the best villainous character. I, myself, cannot settle between my two all-time favorites. Which I'll talk about later, once the conve [...]

OMG OMG OMG!!!

Fetternity

Yes. I saw Iron Man tonight.

And it is SO freekin' painful to keep my mouth shut about it!!! Okay, no surprises really for those who know about the recent versions of Iron Man in comics, but still....

All I can say is this: stay until the very end of the credits.

*geekgasm*

So predictable, but still, everything you hoped it would be.

Week X - Deuschmaschine

Fetternity

(disclaimer: enormous blog post with loads of pictures)

I write Week X because, in all honesty, I have no idea how long it’s been since Jive-A-Tastic Julian Lawrence received the assignment of editing Deutschmaschine. Time has been evolving at a strange pace since the appearance of the Keeper of the Gate and Key on that edition of The Gutter…

However, now I figured I might as well talk about it a bit now, hu [...]

APTN CCN

Fetternity

This is awesome!! CCN goes Aboriginal!

And what a neat idea, too. I literally cannot wait to see what gets produced! :)

Z2H - Wikipedia

Fetternity

I just discovered that Zeros2Heroes has no Wikipedia article.

Anybody feeling encyclopedic? I'd say look over the Zuda article and you can pull off something similar...

Delayed interviews (UT2)

Fetternity

Hey all,

I'm justtaking a quick break to let you know that the UT2 interviews will be delayed a slight bit. Long story short, I'm a tad behind on inking Patricio's pencils (one loaded page in particular... goodies!!!) and I don't have time to tweak my technology to conduct interviews right now.

I need to play catch-up ASAP.

Will notify you guys who have voiced your willingness to suffer so as soon as I've cleared some. I don't see why it [...]

And now for something completely different...

Fetternity

Habs won 5-0 against Boston in the seventh game.

This city is going completely nuts and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Now all I want is for Calgary to win too. If we can't have the cup in Montreal, at least let's keep it on Canadian soil!

Making time

Fetternity

...ooooh boy am I fat... Why is it that every time I want to order something relatively healthy to be delivered at work it's always 1) a jacuzzi-sized platter and 2) loaded with everything that makes it tasty too easily, i.e. fat, sugars and salt?

Anyway.

I'm saying this because I need the fat and energy; I'm running on pretty low batteries right now. Everyone except my girlfriend and I have or are currently sick with the flu or a vicious cold or something, and I'm [...]

Discussions

Fetternity

I have a Livejournal, but I usually talk more about my art-related feelings here. Maybe I should x-post once in a while.

Subject the First: Bill Cosby releases a hip-hop album
This got me furiously amused. He's now what, 90? Hip-hop? All I could do is walk around the office spreading the news to my employees and we got so many laughs over it. Even African-Americans around the office were amused. One was amused, too, but she also pointed out the strongly-critical vie [...]

Another game

Fetternity

So, a lot of us here are either beginning writers or aspiring writers, right?

And we're all, for the most part, interested in comics, right?

Here's another game for all of us, a bit along the lines of what Ivy suggested with her Directors game:
Choose one or more comics book characters you would like to write. Explain briefly what is your motivation for writing them. Let's share points of view.

One character I appreciate well enough i [...]

Polymath self-pressure

Fetternity

A little blogging about ambitions and goals.

When I started high school, I wanted to be an architect. I felt that would have been a good life. Designing buildings and their interior, structuring the whole thing, you know?
Then my Sec. I career orientation teacher informed me that being an architect also involved in-depth and specialized knowledge of physics and chemistry as part of it all.

That threw the whole idea right out the window.

Onward, it became [...]

Ramblomatic

Fetternity

Hiya gang. Ramblomatic Major here, on an everything-and-nothing rant.

First subject: Voting.
Voting is getting very, very difficult to do for me. Not because there is a lack of good pitches, but because there are, quite simply, too many good pitches out there. It's time for the D-2-D initiative to grab some of the very good pitches on the site (MartialLaw, Obsolescence, Agnes Culpepper, Vinny the Vegan Vampire, Polarity, Why I Hate Zombies, The Tipping Point, to name a f [...]

Got laundry?

Fetternity

Gotta ask a question here. Call it a poll or something.

What would you do, here, on Zeroes2Heroes, if you had a conflict that is community-related and felt driven to address it, to put it to rest? Or, how would you react if you were a witness to it?

You see, I've come to realize that there is a lot -- a LOT-- of things happening behind the scenes. The problem is, like in any web-based communities, that personalities are rather basic and impressions crude over the Interne [...]

Voting, and more

UT2 - The Interviews Beckon!!

Fetternity

All right, folks!

A full thirteen UT pitches emerged from the blasted wastelands of Romance comics. Now all that's left is to pimp them like the impossible creations they are with the Unofficial Think-Up Interviews - Volume (or Season) 2!

The questions are:

- Who wants to conduct interviews?
- When are you available within the next twoweeks for your interview? (tentative)
- Why is the rhum gone?

Kindly let us know in a Group Forum reply a [...]

New Inks

Fetternity

...well, not really new, actually. Just been lazy scanning these.

It's a page pencilled by Francis Manapul as part of a comic released on Free Comic Book day. Here are its inks, by me:

And the original pencils...

I wonder if we really CAN see the difference.... those lines are so thin and tight!

An [...]

Hail to the UT2, baby!

Fetternity

My own UT2 is now up. I apologize for the small delay, work has been incredibly hectic for the past 4 days...

Meet my friend Maxwell in all his glorious psychobilly regalia, and follow him on his unexpected quest in a world beyond our world in A Serendipitous Cacophony (UT2).
I can't wait to actually draw Maxwell... just for the heck of it!!

And I can't wait to browse everything you people have produced out of your burnin, creative and m [...]

My own pitches for a change

Fetternity

...because, heck, it's been a while I spoke about it.

I have finally settled upon a title for my UT2 pitch, but I'm really not looking forward to having to pronounce that in the UT2 interviews. In case you members haven't reallized yet, I am far more verbose in writing than as a speaker. I remember Anglophone friends and exes telling me my English sounded very"olde" and sometimes outdated, especially regarding certain expressions I commonly use. But I digress.

Cloud 9

Fetternity

Fooled ya!

I'm talking, of course, not about my current state (Cloud overscheduled would be more appropriate), but about my voting choices for Week #9 of the Comic Creation Nation!

Here goes!:
#1: Alma by WillGibson
#2: Polarity by Ivy Crow
#3: Martial Law by Mekikas
#4: The Hollow Men by Lord Maim
#5: Mind Crimes by Genrewriter

Why? my, you always have that question, every single week... Okay, fine, I'll tell you why...

#1: I wan [...]
