It's such good "chicken scratch" though! Don't stop. Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh dancing!

Good luck figuring out what’s going on with this chicken scratch. Even when studying, I just wanted to draw Light Entertainment all day.

Just wanted to thank you for being part in aiding me out of a painstakingly long artistic funk! Watching you and modmad work back and forth on collaborations and character design/development has given me new ideas and perspectives that have really re-kindled inspiration! Good luck with upcoming finals, heaven knows we all need it... [P.S. Your vocabulary is stu-pen-dous, the world needs more people who utilize that. Thank you! (/'o')/ ~♥ ]

I am so elated to hear that someone can get out of an inspirational/artistic funk due to something of my doing! It's always the worst to stumble into a pit of de-motivation. I hope that the creative endeavors we're ping-ponging back and forth, kindles you for awhile :^)! Also, my utilization of vocabulary is tremendously ridiculous, what are you speaking of. 

Thoughts on Blacksad

I was spending this night writing a paper section analyzing a medium transference of a work, in particular the comic "Blacksad", because it is one of my favorite comics of all time. It is a masterpiece. I recommend it to those who have not read it, and in particular enjoy Film Noir, detective type of stories, as well as watercolor medium pieces. Every single panel has so much technical proficiency, so much detail, and attention put into it. The writing is also intelligent and well done. 

While conducting research on some of the comic's external information, I saw that it was slated to have a 2009 film release, but for unknown reasons, the project never saw or even initiated production, so it made me wonder what a Blacksad film would have ended up looking like. 

To cite an example of visual styling, the film Rango - worked on by Nickelodeon Studios, I thought, did an excellent job as far as setting apart visual design and rendering from other production studios that work on 3D animated film, because they actually conducted direct, careful observation of animal textures and rendered them on a practically realism level accuracy - the scales, feathers, and fur, were precise to the actual animal. 

The commonplace cartoonish overtone of most 3D characters, took more of a backseat compared to other movie characters. Just compare. 

I thought Blacksad, would be excellent having a visual look akin to that to a similar effect. I spent some of this time drawing what I thought this could look like.

[Larger version here]

Granted my picture doesn't really do my thinking justice, I should've settled for a close up and personal shot (and perhaps drew in Weekly sidling behind him, as he has more/longer fur) to nail my visual thinking for it, but then my mind ended up wandering and I wondered what a Dreamworks (or even Pixar) styled Blacksad would've looked like.

What evil has befallen from my hands.

I barely know anything about Magnus and I already ship him with RGB. Look what you've made me ship. I ship enough things already. I want to cry and throw a party at the same time

I’ve got the perfect solution to your dilemma!

Don’t forget to bring your Kleenex.

WHAT, FANFIC, WHAT!

I'm surrounded by such proficient writers, I don't know what to do with myself. I just. I.

Wow, this is great, I, love the analogies you used in here a lot, as well as the style of writing you used- the abnormal approach you took in terms of describing their relationship/method of contact, strikes me as something that can be interpreted in two different ways even though you primarily intended it to be interpreted directly, but I think it can be seen both physically/literally, and metaphorically, at least in my PoV, and that somehow makes it that much cooler?

Gah, thank you! I enjoyed reading this!

I suppose you could call it the first Light Entertainment fanfiction

But you could also call it I’m terrified and a scardy-cat so it took me way too much courage to post this and I sincerely hope neither creator is unhappy with my attempt at putting some words to their fantastic creations.

I’m a writer not an artist so I do what I can to contribute and give into ideas.

Disclaimers: RGB and The Property of Hate are creations of Modmad, Magnus belongs to 0chromat, and when I suggest this as a ‘pairing’ (or ship) I mean it in a pretty abstract way.

I was digging through my folders to find some older work to show my boss and I found this small sketch while looking, it is a scribble of OFF's Batter, and a small Elsen in the corner. Don't remember what I was trying to write in the corner though.
