Nothing much happened today. Went out with my parents for lunch sans younger sisters, who were in Port Fairy and at the Australian Ballet respectively. My parents like t00bing around Southbank more than can possibly be healthy.

Had a long conversation with Zan today about a series that hopefully I'll be working on with him as colourist. I'm excited.

Have a new character name, "Rhapsody Jones", and a design for a second character to fit in the same universe. All I need now is a story. (I've worked this way before; I started with characters before story for NaNo '01.) This brings my total original fics in progress up to four graphic novels (three in one series, no less) and about six short stories, also at least seven fanfics. All I want is to finish something, goddammit! I'm not even close to finishing any of them! I haven't even started most of them! Jeez.

The sketch for this second (as yet unnamed) character from the Rhapsody universe was the only thing to even approximately turn out today. I tried drawing many things (including Rhapsody herself), none of which worked. I had one other sketch that kinda worked, but it was so scary I had to put it away. It partly detailed a chibi doing a glitter dance, I need say no more.

Oh, I nearly forgot! Today's BMB contains a very scary Skids. And an incredibly funny Tybalt.

Personally, I find Stalker!Skids much scarier than Stalker!Tybalt. I suppose because BMB Tybalt is nowhere near as scary as TiH Tybalt, and because Tybalt does "have a life outside stalking" [hehe, Mercury]; he also seems to be less intense about it [You look at Skids in today's comic. Does he have a grip on reality? Um...nope].

Skids, on the other hand? This is an almost violent burst of emotion from a character who we usually perceive as being calm, happy and nice. It's scary like a storm in the Pacific; we don't know where this comes from, and it makes us wonder where it came from and when it might happen next. It's a much darker side to a character whose previous anger has only been aroused with percieved threats to his "tribe" [Harley's First Crush; Hatboy vs Collin; even his temper tantrum about icecream could be seen as his attempt to keep the group together which had started to drift apart a little, although admittedly this is a stretch]. The amount of pure malice in Skids's expression in today's comic is quite frightening. That's the expression of a person who says, "Well, yes, I did stab my wife fifteen times, but the bitch deserved it!"

Hn. Maybe I should crosspost this to the BMB LJ community.
On a final note, Jeminem frightens me.
