Nothing big here. Aside from Japanese work, I've been juggling art ideas in my head too, so I thought I might share them on here to at least get them out into the open as a reminder as well as to gauge interest. It'll also help me keep track of current projects I've got going too.

JAMES' MMORPG CHARACTER ILLUSTRATION.
Oh crikey, I really need to get started on this! >_< The details are listed at the bottom of my journal.

FRANK MILLER'S BEANOTOWN
Well, this is currently going on, and there's still plenty of characters to go through, though I don't think I'll use all of them- just the ones that fit in an urban setting, so no anthropomorphic animals (well...may do Biffo The Bear- he was Beano's first protagonist). Here's the ones currently in the works, as well as the ones I can remember that are in consideration for illustration.
Lord Snooty- COMPLETED
Spotty of the Bash Street Kids- COMPLETED
'Erbert of the BSK- Pending
Wilfrid of the BSK- Pending
Bash Street School Staff- Possible
Les Pretend- Possible
Calamity James- Possible
Desperate Dan (from rival comic The Dandy)- Definite.
The Three Bears- Ahhh, no.
Gnasher- Possible
The Numskulls- Maybe the guy who's head they live in (er, yeah- this one's a bit odd)
Roger The Dodger- Definite.
Colonel From Dennis The Menace UK- Definite

GIANTESS COMIC
Well, this is nearing its end, and is almost nearing a year since the original request was made! But will there be another one? Ehhh....probably not, least not for a long while. This was pretty ambitious for a guy who's never done a little comic strip series before, so if I do another comic strip series in general whatsoever, it's gonna be on a smaller scale. As for WG images, BI images or whatever initial that leads to plump figures...eh, maybe once in a while as something random to do per request. Until then, I may produce some more conventional pin-ups like my earlier 2005 pieces.

VIDEO GAME LOGIC.
Basically a series of comic illustrations or written pieces on videogame events or sequences. It's inspired by 's 'How To Play' comic illustrations, but while his focuses on the player experience, this is more about applying videogame logic to real life, like old-school Sonic's smashing TV monitors to get power ups, or Mario's 100 coins gets you an extra life (have a $1 or £1 or 100 yen/euro/dinar/kroner, etc in 1 cent/penny/etc change and you can survive a car crash!). Though so far I've done a meme image that needs colouring where nerds like me can fill in speech bubbles with whatever they'd like to throw in. What's the meme? Well, here's the list of Video Game Logic ideas I have in mind.
'Bad Ideas Make Sonic Wince Meme'- 50% Complete (colouring required)
'Bad Ideas Make Mario Moan Meme'- Pending (hey- fair's fair)
Sonic Logic- Definite
Mario Logic- Definite...perhaps
Metal Gear Logic- Definite, but could be tricky.
Sony Logic: Hit Enemy Weakpoint for Massive Damage
Street Fighter Logic: Definite
KOF Logic: Definite- may combine with Street Fighter (well, they're pretty similar. It's just that one has prettier hair and more bishounen characters than the other.)
Fanboy Logic: Possible.

PORTRAITS, PIN-UPS AND BODY IMAGES
Well, they are my forte. These'll be spontaneous and generally random, unless you want to make a request for one. That said, I did say I'd draw my friend Leanne ...but that's if the printers here ever get back into gear and let me print stuff off >_<.

WRITING PIECES
Well, can't think of anything particularly poetic, so not much in the way of poetry. Prose? Well, may do some pieces relating to BeanoTown, as well as do Video Game Logic in some writing forms. As for sniglets of thoughts and philosophy, I usually stick that in my journal, but I may take/steal an idea from and use them as inspiration for longer deviation pieces.
Angels With Babyfaces And Demons With Heels: Pro-Wrestling and Morality- Pending.

That's about it for now. Let me know what you think of these ideas, and I'll see you in my next journal

EDIT: I got this in my hotmail this morning:

There weren't any other email addresses in the 'To' section, but then I'm skeptical about this. Can anyone here tell me about Art Limited and whether it's legitamite? Because I imagine this to be some sort of website advert disguised as spam.

PROJECTS:
James Clephane-Cameron, an old high-school and 6th form friend, has provided me with an interesting proposition- something which should interest fantasy fans out there (Tolkien-D&D-Warcraft ones, not Final Fantasy ones). He requires someone to illustrate some character races for his RPG project and, well, guess who he asked? Here's how it breaks down (like requests, it'll have a progress rating beside it).

Viking (standard viking complete w/ horned helmet) - Pending.

Celt (tartan-clad warrior)- Pending.

Elf (tall, jewellery-covered forest folk)- Pending.

Troll (Orcs in Romanesque outfits- yeah, this time, the green guys are the supposedly civilised, not the typical barbarians- this is gonna be fun to draw)- Pending.

Vampire (Romany/Russian look rather than Castlevania Bishie)- Pending.

Beastkin (Middle Eastern Anthro's)- Pending.
