Notes
Consider this a sequel, of sorts, to a sketch I did a while back. Another quickie; this time I even vectorised the sketch lines, and did it all in inkscape. Gives the blacks a nice rough, cheap old comic print look to them, which I like.
Argh, I have no idea what to do tomorrow, I have a whole calendar to illustrate in less than a week, and I just remembered that November starts tomorrow and I should start writing!
Happy Halloween, everybody.

Bwaahahahahahhaha
(happy halloween! im off for halloween fun!)
and adorable!
Adorable -- yes! I hoped the drawing would come off as somewhat endearing (I didn't want him to look hideous like he did in the old sketch). But adorable... wow, now you're entering Gollum territory and scaring me.
By this I mean that I was slightly disturbed that women (in this case, the group sitting in front of me in the cinema) found Gollum in the LOTR movies adorable. "He's so CUUUUUUUTE!" one of them shrieked with sincerity.
Shivers.
...But familiar, you say? Who? Who it is? Tell me I say. Honestly, I don't quite know who he resembles -- I didn't intentionally base him on anybody.
Disturbingly enough, the person I am reminded of is my boyfriend. Who is, I hasten to add, neither green nor fanged, and is in fact very attractive. It's just the cheekbones and the jaw.
(Also, I am not that hairy.)
You must draw more dracunerd.
I think I had considered an ongoing Dracunerd comic ever since that first sketch last year, and Comic Konga! seemed to be the perfect time to try it (and other) ideas out. Well, the others didn't work out (I'm just not skilled enough at drawing for some of them yet), but I'm glad I did at least one Dracunerd. There will be more in the future.
And now that I know he resembles your boyfriend, the character's jaw and cheekbones are never going to change!
Oh no, I FORGOT ABOUT THE COMIC KONGA! ;^;
I was too busy about thinking how to do that php for my friend's project, and going to work, and making a Halloween drawing, and what will I write for Nano (haven't decided, haven't started)! Man!
Having had a miniscule but torturous bit of php wrangling to do on this site's redesign (such as getting the 'journal' graphic to show up only on journal pages, which must be child's play to people who actually know php), I fully sympathise with your plight and do not in the least mind.
All of us are busy working this week, it seems (okay, my work has piled up mostly because of my own fault), and that does take priority.
Since we have no huge rules you're welcome to try your hand at it when you have some free time. Samir's doing his Tuesday to Saturday (he's building a multiligual community website, and I don't envy him in the least). I've been drawing a Dugong, among other things. We've been working throughout today and are a bit brain-fatigued, so we haven't done a Thursday comic. I may post them both tomorrow or go on until Saturday.
I you like you can even prepare some kickass stuff and wait until the next Comic Konga (I think mid-January, after all the 'holiday madness' has subsided will be a good time) to post them.
I haven't started writing on my non-nano nano (I think I should come up with a name and a crappy logo for it. ¡SLACKWRITERTRON! or something). Do you remember that story you once wrote about the kid who turns into a huge bear-like beast (I'm probably remembering this wrong). Something like that would be niiice :)
iSlackwritertron sounds cool, since it has the word tron in it.
I have no idea what story you are talking about. XD This must be for fantasybits, that would explain it.
Hey, now I remembered. Yeah, it was for Fantasybits. And I think it was wolf-like. Would check, but must go to work now.
YAY! DUGONG!
