Enter the Reds, Blog day.

Its been a rough week, followed by a lot of disappointments. I'm not allowed to be outraged, apparently. So I have been working on the outlines of a reoccurring race of characters in my stories, The Reds. A fascist collective of world dominating aliens, but more on that to come. I am about to release the trailer to my book, and the printers will be opening up again this month.
I'd hate to say this but the second book is nearly complete before the first one is even released. I am learning more about the publishing world and doing business online. I 've been excited for a while, but when you get your hopes up something comes along and ruins your day.
Despite all the set backs and disappointments, personal stuff has been getting me down lately too.
I am really tired of the redundant "know-it-all" attitude of people who frankly don't know anything. I have experience in life and school, yet people love to pretend I really don't know anything. I am tired of politics, its just a circle of idiots jerking each other off in a corner agreeing with each other on every useless issue.
I like to cheer myself up by pretending what would star wars would be like if a godfather Marlin Brando played Darth Vader. "You didn't want to be friends...and you don't even respect me enough to call me godfather" Hilarious.
I tried applying to some contest to earn some extra cash, but sadly I think they are just set ups to steal art. DA recently did this "core" program. I watched a lot of people sign up, honestly I think they are being hosed.

The images above are just some thumbs and roughs of the Red character designs. Mostly experiments with costumes and poses, maybe some possible weapon designs, and facial studies. I need to order more inks this month, and I may need to order some new illustration boards. I am going to work on my first trailer now, and upload a chapter of a story from my book. First one is free, the rest will cost you.
Anyway, I think this is all for the day. Enjoy the week and Ill see you all soon.
