Swearing and generally insulting people is a dull and uninteresting pastime these days. Why not spice up your posts with the Elizabethan Curse Generator thou clouted hedge-born flax-wench!

Rant, moan, rave and share - for all your chatter, natter, and wildebeest needs
All those much loved, classic swear words were spoken quite lustily and with much vigour by the Elizabethans (and earlier folk)… why do people always think we only talk like that these days?
Those brave Elizabethans were a lot earthier than popular culture would have us believe. :(
…Zounds and Gadzooks thou art a right pair of poltroons. Thee and thine would look not out of place a'swing 'neeth the engorged loins of a particularly saucy mandrill.
mosquitoes are biting my feet T__T
oh wow, I forgot I had this tab open.
Ozone, how could you. My lady lumps aren't benign, they're dangerous o:<"my humps, my humps, my lovely lady lumps!"And I'm sure they ARE lovely.
And completely benign…
lol!
but seriously it's like 5 in the morning why am I even awake, argh I'm going to bed
I'm actually pondering a small change of plans (or rather returning to an earlier plan), that is, before I start my superlong ongoing title I should do a single graphic novel… maybe.
On one end it's a sound idea, I'll have something self-contained to sell and it'll be a good "warmup" to longer work, on the other hand I'll be again delaying the big one.
Then again seeing that I'll need a day job soon anyway, maybe it's smart to do something shorter? I don't know anymore.
There's been a mumps outbreak at my school.
Mumps.
I'm vaccinated so I should be fine, but really now, that's like the last thing you'd expect an out break of at a college. Mono, pink eye, swine flu…. all make so much more sense. But we have mumps, and apparently enough cases of it to be considered an outbreak by the college. : |
All those much loved, classic swear words were spoken quite lustily and with much vigour by the Elizabethans (and earlier folk)… why do people always think we only talk like that these days?I've been known to sound like a Shakespearean monologue when I'm passionately angry. It doesn't happen very often, but its often a string of semi-archaic, long words spoken like I'm chewing scenery. There's also some sort of rhyme scheme that sneaks in.

Take those generated insults, replace the "thou" with "you" and say em with passion and you can almost get away with them.

I had a task or two I didn't want to do yesterday, so I stalled by painting pictures of my ex's. In retrospect, that may not have been the healthiest decision. On the plus side, while the guy one of em cheated on me with is probably still a douche, and I could complain all day about how financially irresponsible he is or rant about her dropping out of college- but I have to admit she looks adorable with the baby. Sigh.

I've made 16 comic pages in the last three days, all of which are 10-15 minutes of touch-ups away from being finished, but I still feel under accomplished. It's moments like these when it's obvious my self-expectations are whack.

I'm actually pondering a small change of plans (or rather returning to an earlier plan), that is, before I start my superlong ongoing title I should do a single graphic novel… maybe.Whichever way, do it because the project is cool and deserves to be done. If that means one big project, kudos. If it means a bunch of smaller, but relatively equally cool projects, extra kudos. I'm personally a fan of smaller works because it gives more variety to the Awesome- and I like a diverse Awesome- but the power of an epic is hard to deny.

I had mumps when I was a kid, (wasn't vaccinated properly until 8th grade due to a paperwork error :/) it wasn't pleasant.
Do both.
AT THE SAME TIME?!
:)
I think both deserve to be done. And so does the 4 volume one I have written and also the 300 page color one (that I'm envisioning as 6 50-page books) and the 200 page one that I need to rewrite… and… oh yeah, the two I'm pondering? One's sort of a loose alternative history fantasy (that is, screw the historical accurancy, haha, but no magic) that should clock around 200 pages, and the other one's an ongoing remake (and an expansion) of my old webcomic.I'm actually pondering a small change of plans (or rather returning to an earlier plan), that is, before I start my superlong ongoing title I should do a single graphic novel… maybe.Whichever way, do it because the project is cool and deserves to be done.

Nevermind that through all of this I'm going through a minor artistic breakdown (the things I pencilled two months ago appear to look better and so do the inks even though I drew them faster than the new pages, which could be just me seeing things or an actual loss of skills) and hardware issues (with the tablet getting a little in the way of good art).
The shorter book means researching armor and drawing lots of horses, argh.
I guess I have to stop dloading fetishy images and start grabbing lots of visual reference…
Note to self: don't apply this advice to relationships. Well, maybe once or twice, but only if everyone is level about it. Likewise, make sure the comics know about each other. Wouldn't want one to get jealous…Do both.
AT THE SAME TIME?!
:)
Yep, and when you are feeling burned out on one go to the other and vice versa.
I love how arse and more importantly shite are assumed to be British swear words.Well Arse comes from there early Saxon (north German) invaders who didn't have much presence in Ireland. So…
Try saying them with an Irish accent. Makes more sense.
Ireland like Britain got the Celts invading and taking over with their strange language, but in Ireland unlike Britain, the Celts stayed in control for a while longer… till the limited Viking raids, Norman immigration and finally Norman British invasion.
-Blame listening to the entire "history of Ireland" radio series aand a furiously Catholic grandmother madly proud of her Irish heritage. :(
It's a strange fact that most swear words used in the English language are from those early Angle and Saxon invaders, and even much of the every day language used in simple conversation today mostly has Angle and Saxon roots.
Oh Man, sorry for that Bravo moment! ^___^
Yes, father Ted was awesome, especially for making it ok to say "Fek Arse" on TV over and over and over.
Do both.

hmm, actually what this makes me think is going with attempting to do a page of each for both <— wait, does this sentence make any sense?
What I'm trying to say, pencil a page, ink it, letter it (and/or greyscale/tone, if applicable) for one comic. And then do the same for the other one. Or better, go back to my old system where I worked on three pages at once, that is I pencilled a new page, inked the page I pencilled yesterday, and colored/lettered the page from two days ago (used that on first chapter of Din Krakatau).
So it'd be say pencils for pages 3, inks for page 2 and lettering for page 1.
Seeing Project A (and let's call the other Project H) is meant to be drawn in a cleaner art style (and probably with greyscale tones added, perhaps, maybe) it'd be faster to produce. Whereas the Project H is meant to be more hmm… illustrative I guess? I'm pondering lots of crosshatching and detailing and whatnot (that's why this one's the shorter one, only one thick book, haha)

Wise advice :D

as for the whole swearwords topic…
Kinda heavy (but funny?) so hover at your own risk
[spoiler]Fucksticks, what is this cockforsaken cuntmuppetry![/spoiler]
(don't ask me what that means, I don't know myself, haha)
Shamanic healer?!
I just found out some bloke I was at art college with is now a shamanic healer?! O:
If I need a shaman, I don't want some middle aged, balding fat bloke with a public school accent, I want someone who looks like this:
Or possibly this:
But definitely not some art school chancer. >:(
