What I love



um... well... yes.
I love women and comics and lately I have written about them. There have been actual jobs to do instead, some which to my shame are still hanging for so long they can have birthdays(and no, not in dogyears), but I have tried to come get my game on.

With comics. Yeah with comics that's ALL I meant.(yes, my beloved reads this occasionally and even though she knows me: better safe than sorry).

I have a theory.
The best work comes out when you take things you love, things you are interested in and do that.
Screw esteem or what others think.
Yes there are themes and points that would sell better.
And since I am more than prone to severe bouts of depression it has actually helped me be happier person.

I have succumbed to the fact that oh, yes world needs even more superheroes like Sotanorsu(Warelephant)

here pencilled & inked to flesh by talented Rami Rautkorpi.

Sure that Rautkorpi can draw (he really truly can) but why yet another spandex boy?
Because there wasn't one like him before and I wanted to read a story like that.
Same applies to all creations in genre, I write the kind of stories I would pick up.

And I don't like just superheroes.
I watch and read endless amounts of horror, crime and scifi. No, not forgetting fantasy(the barbarian medieval with dragons kind, not the one with...yeah you get the picture).

but I never liked JRR Tolkiens LoTR as basis. Why not wars of Vietnam or Afganistan as basis for fantasy? Wait I wrote short story like that once...with lizardman helping kings troops..oh right. The point I was making.

So as it is as I know what I like in many varying genres but far too seldom have any luck finding something living up to my expectations: it's better to do it myself.
(yeah, well the writing part as I am not known for my skills in artdept.)

but wait there is more( I promise read the manic rambling to the end, there might be a point to it[well there is a chance for that too...] but I'll post a pic at least. One I have not drawn)
I have a pencahnt of making everything massive and convoluted. It is because I love research. It is a blast to find out stuff of how the world works, how species became extinct, the male german officers who thought they were pregnant or details of forensics etc.

but that's just half of the fun. Ok so I have at the moment I think 8 reviews to be done, 3 horror stories, an alieninvasion tale, drugwar and some others in the making.
Oh and one postapocalypse science fiction piece.

But here is the thing. I try to write, during april, here a story. That's right. a full comic script most likely from 10-20 pages worth of comic.
On basis that it's something I would read but so far it either doesn't exist, or at least I have never heard of it.

And of course find someone to draw it.

So that's the plan.
thankfully I have a backup plan:


It's going to be interesting.
