Free Comic Book Day 2011

Journal Entry: Sun May 15, 2011, 8:05 AM
Once again... DO NOT GIVE ME LLAMAS! I DO NOT WANT THEM!! This is a silly placebo designed to take your money. Giving them out a lot only means you follow the herd mentality, much like sheep to the slaughter. I do not mind it if you trade with someone else, but I will not give you one back if you give one to me. If you like my work, fave it.
:iconanti-llama-group::iconidontplz::icondollamasplz: :iconanti-llama-club: :iconllamastamp1::iconllamastamp2:

Also... please do NOT note me requesting that I commission you! I am getting very sick of that. It's always some artist that really stinks too. I know there's a stamp somewhere that reads "I commission who I want" but I lost the URL. Anyone know where it is?

Well, today was free comic book day, and I spent much of it driving around Dallas going to various events. It went a bit like this:
1 PM: Arrived at Lone Star in Plano. Narrowly missed someone I'd been wanting to talk to about my series. Got a commission here of a character, but I'm not about to publish it.
2:30 pm: Arrived at Titan Comics in Dallas. Only one artist here, looked horrible, left immediately.
3:45 pm: After lunch I arrived at Zeus Comics in Dallas. Should have come here first; better artists here. Got some commissions. Met a couple of artists and showed them some SAFG pages.

All this time, I got some of the free comics and read them. I really find it disappointing that a lot of comic books put out by American companies are filled with TEH ANGST. I ended up keeping only one, which had an Avatar the last Airbender story in it. Even though others really like that stuff, I just can't get into it. As someone much wiser than I once said, "Angst is for people who do not realize they are the ones in charge of their lives." (Plus I get too many drama queens and kings at the day job.)

I've also decided that I'm going to be doing a series that I've created, Setsunasa, as sort of a virtual con thing. The main heroine, Shimina Setsunasa, is up now. Her boyfriend, Kazuhara Washikabi, is coming soon. There will also be the following characters:
- the teacher, named Nogizaka-sensei and her husband, Mr. Nogizaka.
- Tarou, class bully   - Nyanko, the class president.

This series is about a young man moving to a smallish town where everyone execpt him is utterly insane. Shimina is extremely passive-agreessive; the teacher bases how things go in class on how the night went before with her husband. (She gives a pop quiz from hell after a nasty fight with her husband.)

A. :iconmarkeroption: has finished a commission! Angry Kawaii Girl in Tsumugi's "Don't Say Lazy" Outfit from K-On!
B. :iconoomellychanoo: has finished a Battle Boyz commission! Yukinari in swimtrunks. Just the thing you fangirls like, right?
C. :icontsuyun: has finished a commission! Chantal cosplaying as Erza Scarlet from Fairy Tail. A very good rendition of her.
D. :iconehcs: has finished a commission. Kimiko and Fushimo together (well, it's a fantasy of hers...)
E. :icontehbuttercookie: has finished a commission! Maharu Sena Kanaka from Girls Bravo naked! (It's a shame that there's so little pr0n of her.)
A.   B. C. D. E.

In addition... a troll named :iconblackjill: has decided that she wants to have everyone and their dog give llamas to me. Well, there are ways to fight trolls. Everyone that has given me a llama since Saturday will be reported as a spammer to the mods. Also, I have others doing the same. Stop being stupid and hateful or get banned.

The Con schedule:
I will be appearing as a fan only at the following cons:
Dallas Comicon, May 22-23. I'll be there Saturday only.
A-Kon, June 10-12, Dallas. I may not show up on the 10th. Theme: Sekirei
San Japan, August 5-7, 2011. Depends if I can get off from my day job or not. Theme: Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou.
Yulecon, TBD. Theme: After the Harem, another quamp created series!
I may show up at Dallas Comicon, but it depends on a lot of factors.

The ever-popular list of whom I watch:

Setsunasa sounds pretty interesting, based on the old "only sane person in the room" premise. I can already hear people decrying it as overdone (but so is angst; that's why I haven't read too many new American comics), but it works! Anime and manga have been using it for years: the titular house of nutters in Maison Ikkoku surrounding a young man and the widowed landlady he loves; Kaname Chidori in Full Metal Panic; Yomi the meganekko smartass in Azumanga Daioh; and so on.

True, but there are a few twists to it that really haven't been done beofre.

You have a good point about Western comics and angst-y vibes throughout; that is one reason that I do not have much interest in them. I have recently been reconsidering some of my ideas, and I have realized that many of them follow a similar trend, so I will be personally working on a variety of moods and tones. I should thank you for this idea, as it will be helpful in expanding my abilities; I would not have considered it so seriously if I had not read this article.
