Looking for pencil advice...
Ok artist types, I tend to sketch in blueline or purpleline non-photo/non-copy/architecture pencil. However, these things are expensive and, in the case of the purple Stadlers I like to use, out of production. I’ve been experimenting with standard colored pencils, since I can make any color vanish in the computer, but the prismacolors are a bit softer than I like.  Does anyone else sketch...

Sorry about the lack of posts...
To update, we’re neck-deep in the preproduction on Isle of Rangoon right now. We have two sketches shot, another two half-done, a complete review script and two near-complete ones for followup, and a few surprises. -Trent

Scraps: A Score to Keep - Why the Heroic Fantasy...
The following is a repost from my blogspot blog from April 29, 2010: Armchair Psychology follows. The appeal of the heroic fantasy, by which I mean the defeat of evil (be it in mortal or monstrous foes) and the completion of quests is common in men of my demographic (for lack of a better term). White knight syndrome in male/female relations is more than common despite its general irrelevancy...

He has no mouth...
And he must rock! Ever since Greg and I wrote Shattered Glass Soundwave into this body in the Desert Heat minicomic and in the text stories, I’ve wanted this to happen. From Botcon.com

Scraps: The Cargo Cult of Human Relationships
The following is a repost from my blogspot blog from May 3, 2010: “So what do you think my problem is?” “You ever hear of the Cargo Cults?” “I’ve heard the name, not much else, though.” “Well, they break down like this. In World War II, both the US and the Japanese built air bases all through the Pacific. Suddenly both sides are flying in goods that the natives had never seen, oftentimes...

Botcon 2008: Ant-i-dote!
The following is repost from my defunct myspace blog from May 5, 2008: Note: If you don’t know what the above reference means, it means you weren’t at Botcon and weren’t hanging with Greg and I’s crew. Well, last week was Botcon, or as it is known in my head “Trentmas”. If you’re coming to my blog you probably know that I’m a TF fan, and that...

This is so babies: Mary Sue, what are you? or why... →
itswallie: adventuresofcomicbookgirl: Looks like this essay was needed, so I went ahead and did it. Not sure I said everything I wanted to say, but I tried. So, there’s this girl. She’s tragically orphaned and richer than anyone on the planet. Every guy she meets falls in love with… I hadn’t thought of the implications of the Mary Sue label that way before. Very interesting....

“Masks” by Shel Silverstein
Via the Atheist Experience Blog: MASKS She had blue skin. And so did he. He kept it hid And so did she. They searched for blue Their whole life through, Then passed right by – And never knew. I have to agree with Kazim at AXP’s reading of this as carrying the feeling of the closeted atheist (or the closeted anyone, really.) Normally I’d only post this on Calcination For...
