Picking Up Where I Left Off

So two years is a long time. A lot has happened which has sidetracked me from my current fan-projects. It hasn't caused me to abandoned them, just deterred me a bit. Hopefully in the next few days (or possibly weeks) I can pick up on some of my writing and artwork again.

Rewrites and Planning

Whelp, for those of you who don't follow me on DeviantArt (actually, its more like, for the people who accidentally found this blog and you're still reading) my old laptop died. Ah, yes, Butters kicked the bucket...so to speak. The motherboard fried again and well, I haven't decided whether to spend the money to fix it or just leave it as is... Still, Butters (the laptop) has been resurrected before (3 times... my laptop was indeed a zombie) so who knows? Anyway, I have a new laptop... just haven't named it yet. Yes, I am one of those weirdos that feels the need to name important inanimate objects and by important I mean my car, laptop and iPod. Just so you know, I haven't named the toaster or my ceiling fan...that's edging into Megavolt insanity and...well, I'm just not going there.

Anyway, I'm currently rewriting the 3rd part to Crossfire, 4th has actually been coming along much smoother, though since I guess that's where the whole 'Why did Marty leave?' question will be answered. Actually, I'm hoping that the reasoning fits and is believable. I know that I've only done two flashbacks, but hopefully, the nature of LP and Marty's relationship in both those shows through-- the whole they're best friends who are attracted to each other thing... I need to find time to draw up some mini-comics of little Marty and LP. Ah, childhood sweethearts.

Lastly, since I've got all of Crossfire mapped out as well as Waking Up in Vegas and Army of Duckness and DWD/Tangled crossover (and since those three focus more on the Mallards), I figured I should plan out the other stories for Launchpad and Marty. The next one is where Quiverwing Duck would be brought in and technically, focuses on the whole juggling a new relationship as well as work. I also have another story floating around my head that would be a touch more dramatic but would help to explain why Marty runs away from her own wedding three times in a row. The whole Infinite Darkwings arc (and really just that part of it, not the Paddywhack thing...) as well as Darkwarrior kinda inspired me to create another Darkwing, though he'd be extremely dark (I'm giving him the name Deathwing Duck) so I'm not sure how well he'd go over. Anyway, the idea would be to have one universe where like Darkwarrior's, DW's gone into the whole dictatorship type deal. Except, instead of standing idly by, Parker has taken a stand against him. The triplets would be around as well as LP. I haven't worked out all the details just yet, but I do know that Morgana and Gosalyn would have died and Marty too. It's an AU, obviously, but one that I really want to do since I've always been a fan of exploring the multiverse.

Oh and since I've been RPing with Parker and fleshing him out more, I have a story planned out for him called "The Devil Went Down to St. Canard". The boy plays a violin and half his family tree deals with the supernatural ; it was bound to happen... also it doesn't help that rodeo recently passed through and I went to see Zac Brown Band and guess what song they opened with? So yeah, totally have to crank that one out.
 

Another Artsy Post

I probably won't post these to DA until waaaay down the road, but I felt like sharing. Plus I'm like crazy nervous right now! We're having a meeting with the realtor today and hopefully, by the end, we'll have a house!! :D

I blame my aunt and uncle for this (She's about 4 months pregnant right now! :D) But, yeah, had me thinking about how Marty would be a wreck during her pregnancy. 

This was for Crossfire... although, considering that after I sketched this I started sketching out their kids, well...
Anyway, it's from one of the later chapters. It's totally not what you think.

Ducklings! Well, here are the triplets Olive Contessa, Molly Dee and Rebecca Birdie. Olive's and Becky's middle names are from their grandmothers and Molly's is from Drake... I'll explain in the story when they're born. But for now just imagine LP coming out of the delivery room and shouting 'Drake's a girl! Drake's a girl!' 

They grow up so fast. Here are the triplets again and in the same order (totally unintentional by the way). 

Flashback inspired :) 

Another Crossfire illustration for the FOWL party scene. I even added in Feathers in the background. And ignored the cut off part. I have to draw that better.

I gotta finish the background, but I just felt like drawing cupcakes. It was bound to happen. I work in a bakery, after all.

RP-inspired. The first RP I played ending up putting Marty in a tough spot having to choose between Agent Ianto Jones (who belongs to Hellhoundess on DA) and Launchpad. To be honest, Ianto is probably the only OC I can see Marty hooking up with. He's just so charming and adorable.

REED! Summer doesn't get enough love.
