A Good Day...

siamesaTo graduate, people in my district have to do this project. They seem to change the name from Senior Exit Project to Graduation Project and back again every five seconds, but, regardless, I am fully in favor of the idea. In theory. And so, because I Firmly Support This Sort of Education, I am trying to do my best on mine, which has the added bonus of being due in two years so my mind refuses to recognize that there is in any way a deadline.
What I'm doing mine on is webcomics (sort of, it goes into more detail), both because I feel that they as a medium that needs more respect and because this gives me an excuse for the next two years to read them in class. For the practical part of the project, I'm drawing a webcomic, which in two years or so I'll actually put up on the web assuming by that point I haven't changed topics completely/grown to hate it.
But for right now, the planning stages, it's fun. I spent a lot of the day drawing out and planning some of the characters. I'm trying to get the whole Uncanny Valley thing going with one of them, which is tricky with pencil-on-printing-paper. Still, it's starting to creep me out a little, so I'm happy.
Seriously, I love designing characters. It's so much fun. Of course, I tend to go overboard and end up with complete Mary Sues who then need to be toned down for public consumption- but I like to think I'm getting better about that. These characters now have personality flaws from the get go.
