I'm amazed!! I have been for about an hour, staring at London. I didn't know that you could look at it so close just on Google maps!! O.O
Right now I'm looking for a good place to put the clock shop from Clockwork...it needs to have a nice view of Big Ben...and in a somewhat popular place, which shouldn't be that hard...
WOAH! I just went South and everything has HUGE shadows and the buildings are all glowing!! O.O Darn...everything is so close!! >.< I can't find any good place...-.-; HOLY CRAP!!! MAJOR TRAFFIC JAM!! Gosh, there's this HUGE traffic jam on the Waterloo Bridge!! O.O Anyways...I actually found a nice place, but I lost it...-.-; I keep wanting to put the shop near the London Eye...-.-; AHA!! I actually found an empty space...though it may be a parking lot...but they can park on the street!! >:( That....or it's something else that may be needed, but it doesn't need to be there THAT badly! Nevermind, there's a big building in the way...then again...that doesn't mean you can't step outside just to see Big Ben....okay, it'll be there....though it may be an entrance to the other buildings, I'll have to fix up that area to match me story...isn't that what most people do?
If ya wonderin' where it is, I'm putting darn...I lost it...it starts with an A...-.-; Okay...near Tinworth St. but the map says A....something...not that I can't spell it, it's just that there isn't an A...something next to the spot...but for the other buildings next to it...But I think you get my point.
This post'll probably just be about Clockwork, because I can't think of my other mangas right now. I should be reading my book for homework right now, but it's really boring, hurts my eyes, and gives me a headache! This is why I hate reading, unless it's manga because that's easier to read because you can just look at the pretty pictures to ease your mind. This book as pictures, but I don't like looking at them, because they're in the cartoon style, my least favorite style. Manga isn't a cartoon style, it's a...manga style, much different. Cartoon style is ugly!!! Everything is out of proportion, they have HUGE mouths, and they look really creepy!
I've been thinking of how I should create the main character, and right now I think I like her more than Alice! ^ ^; Same for Vincent. I LOVE Vincent! ^ ^; So I've decided to throw out my old idea of her being just some random klutzy girl with a weirdo friend, and make her a more troubled teen. Ya gotta have troubled teens *nod* *nod*. So I'll make her apart of the popular mean girls of the school, but she really doesn't agree with them, but she only hangs out with them because they're nice to her, at least. But she likes other girls in her school who aren't very popular and are usually victims of the group's harsh words. She also doesn't really have the personality that most of the girls in the group have, in other words, she doesn't like the same things as them. So yeah, she's a classic teen character, but the twist is her true personality. She's still a klutz, she's somewhat shy, but has a very strong opinion of things that she really doesn't like to share. So...maybe she's not that classic, but then again, the difference isn't that big.
I've also decided to make her have long, curly, fake blonde hair. It shows that she tries her best to fit in, even though that's not who she really is. And she tries to wear whatever the other members of the group are wearing...not the exact thing, but you know...Her real hair-color is peach...peachish...kinda...like a mixture of peach and apricot, like a hard orangish pink color. I really like that color, but apparently that's the hair color you'd be made fun of over.
So I traced a picture of a girl that looked like what I wanted her to look like, but I used it as a model. I trace pictures for practice, it really teaches me more than if I just use references because when I trace I can really figure out where the lines go and such and such. I traced several other pictures, but I'm not showing them to you since they really have no purpose. I just color this one to show you guys what I'm thinking of making the main character of Clockwork to look like:
Actually, I drew the dress...and put the striped pattern on her legs, but that's about it...
Anyways, she's like a Alice from Alice in Wonderland, except she's different....I dunno how to explain it, but it's kinda like an unexplainable metaphor...O.o
Also, on the whole style thing, I really don't know what kinda style I'll end up with, so I'll stop it with the whole my new style thing, it'll be whatever I feel like drawing and be completely random...maybe in the future I'll actually find a style, but not right now.
I'm still trying to figure out a good name for her. I was thinking of calling her Lily...but that sounds a little weird...or what about Alexandra? That sounds a little too common....hrmm...I'm also thinking of getting her hair cut some time in the future of the manga...>.>
What else was I gonna say? Oh yeah! I really don't know I will post a picture next, I'm kinda practicing and trying to figure out how to get better, while I'm also taking Art Class....so.....I may improve a lot, hopefully!
OH! OH! I've also figured out what kind of villains there'll be. There'll be eye-patch guy...still don't have a name for anybody...evil part animal part vampire things, evil doll things, evil twins (yes, must have twins!! Twins are awesome), crazy guy, and last secret character! This'll be fun to create them! ^ ^; I'll do it...some time...after something...>.< Ummm....if I finish reading my book. OH! OH! I have an idea! Read it badly!!! Yes, that way I'll finish it, like speed read....I can't read fast...I have to take it in, read it like a long conversation, and have whatever scene play in my head like a movie...I dunno how those speedy readers read, but I have to take it in first, then I can continue, but if I read any faster I won't remember anything, maybe a little bit...
Anyways, I have to go make cookies, read, and then I'll make the villains, and probably type up how I might want Clockwork to start, add in more characters...before I watch the rest of Benjamin Button!
Bye-bye!!
