Out of Place and getting evicted.

 Hey guys, have not done this in ages so I probably have a lot to catch up on. I've become a full time carer of my mother, it takes up more time than looking for work but it allows for me to draw on every free moment. Also I get paid more so that means I can upgrade my programs and produce better quality art for us to enjoy.

Unfortunately though I was posting every day till our dick landlord decided to do something terrible and left me, my mam and my 4 younger siblings with no home this close to xmas. He decided to tell us that we used 4 grand worth of electricity in 3 months, that's about $300 per week, not sure how that works. Any wan, when I demanded that they have the power tested he went out and turned the power off and locked the box. We had no power and had to rescue our stuff while there was light and there was no power to clean properly, hell we even had a half done load in the washing machine.

We got out of the house and had a pretty interesting legal dispute between our lawyer and the Rental agency in question, in the end we won when they were threatened with a choice of $1600 bond being given back to us and no more bills sent our way or fork out 10k or more to pay us back and pay a fine for breaking the law.

Little factoid about the law-

It is actually illegal for a rental agency to take money off a tenant other than rent, the owner refused to let the power be put in our name so the rental agency took $100 per fortnight extra for electricity. Law broken right there according to the Australian Residential Tenancy Act, they are not allowed to do that. Also to note that the power bill being in the owners name we were under no obligation to pay it.

Comic updates:

I know I know, I was working on I.M. Me for a long time and it reminded me of a place that was just too dark in my past. I am revamping it but I have ceased production on it for the time being.

http://outofplacesoam.smackjeeves.com/

My main project is called Out of Place, it is about a highly version of earth that figured out how to use multiverse travel and utilized it as a way to hide people that are in witness protection. Unfortunately when the wrong side blackmailed one of the Multiverse guards (Trackers) into killing a witness a young girl (Katlyn) is left motherless and brought into this world from her own. After 18 months of school, which because the school is actually in a sped up time bubble actually equals 18 years. Now teaming up with the man who saved her life (Adam), Katlyn must learn the ways of the multiverse and protect her friends.  

Besides that I have mainly been working on the pre production of some other idea's. Here is a summary-

A picture I dre for my friend, her name is Remmy.

I.M. Me: Shya is working full time at an internet cafe to earn her way as she becomes a comic artist, even though her mother is a famous actress. She doesn't want anyone to know because she wants to rise to fame off of her skill and not her fame, unfortunately things become much harder when a stalker finds her and tries to harm her but is stopped by the new guy in the building (Terry) who is told her secret. Terry who thinks she should tell people about her secret, blackmails her into a date in return for keeping it secret.

Zarishtra: On the small moon Shona Ria there is a race of humans that have found a way to create almost absolute peace, only the mentally ill ever harm anyone because science has allowed for everyone to have no wants. This changes suddenly when an alien fleet is spotted heading towards their moon. Something is released into the atmosphere which mutated about 20% of the population, some good and some bad. Zarishtra must not only battle with her new abilities, she must also fight off a hostile force that came from within their own military. A group that wants to harness their abilities and turn them into                                                                        mindless soldiers.

Extinction: Have you ever wondered what you would do if you took a step forward and found the world had aged 2 thousand years, but there were no humans left? Sarah, along with the only person she could find (Jake), must figure out what happened to everyone and why they were there.

This is the end of this rather long but interesting post, if you got this far here is a little link to my favorite manga and anime at the moment called sukitte ii na yo (Say I love you). It's such a great story filled with lots of moments that most people can relate to when mending a broken heart and breaking the shell you lock yourself in. I also have a huge crush on Yamato, the main male character and hope that I will be able to write my characters with as much depth as he and Mei were written.

Good night and enjoy the rest of the day, with any luck there should be another post next week same time. :D

My Plans for 2013.

Hey guys, long time no blog.
I thought I would kick this off with a little mention of the group I have been working with recently.
They are called Angels Goal and they are a non-profit Anti-Bullying Organisation, it is something that I find very important.

Angels Goal Facebook.

Wasn't really bullied in school because I saw school as a place of learning and not making friends, never saw friends as an important thing; more of a distraction. My sister however suffered badly in school to the point that she never finished and missed out on so many opportunities that a year 12 cert would have given her. This makes me sad, because there are so many like her that just don't get the support that our family has given her. These ones can be pushed over the edge and do the most terrible things to themselves, like hurting themselves or starving themselves, thinking they are worthless and worst of all, killing themselves. Others become bullies, it's like Frankenstein's monster, he created a monster. The monster then hurt others killed Frankenstein. This can be prevented if school's and parents paid more attention to their kids and less time worrying about their own lives. You have a kid and it's your duty to protect them till the day you die. Well that's my opinion anyway.
Hell, look at the Sandy Hook Elementary School Tragedy, the young boy who killed all those kids was bullied at that school. He was damaged for life, doesn't that make you want to try and change the way our schools operate?

What are your thoughts on this very important subject?

Were you bullied as a kid or a witness to bullying?

Do you think more needs to be done to protect the young ones in our school?

If you have anything else you would like to add on this topic then let me know.

In other news, I have improved my art style. Food has never looked so tasty and it's come to my attention that more lines are better than less. I am extremely excited by some of the things I have planned to release over the next 12 months. Including, I.M. Me complete season 1. This first season will consist of 100- 120 pages plus bonus issues made whenever a holiday or topic of interest come up. Hopefully Zarishtra may have a couple of chapters out, for those who don't know what that is; it's a Sci Fi series about an alien woman who gets mutated and has to fight off a government who wants to use her as a mindless weapon against an invading force. Some pretty cool characters will be in there, most will be mutated and others not so much. I am also hoping to have some holiday mugs coming out, if you have any suggestions then drop me a line.
By mid-year I am hoping to get a couple of artists to work for me in a possible youtube series called Writing Miracles, I have not got much to pay them with currently but I am willing to give a portion of the Adsense revenue from it. It's about a woman who discovers her husband is cheating the same day she gets offered a job to go work for another company and not one they co-own. She leaves him and goes off to her new job which is as a director for a TV soap that she wrote and created over the last 5 years of her life. There is love and struggle and it's gonna be awesome. Again if you are interested, let me know.

The last thing I want to mention is that I survived 2012. Ha, I decided to do a comic at the time though because of all the hype at the time. So here it is. Enjoy and goodnight all.

Some of the most addictive games I have ever played.

Chuzzle.

Big Chuzzle.

 I'm going to talk today about my favorite and most addictive games I have ever played. The first being Chuzzle, I can play it all day long and never get board of it. I find that the best time to play Chuzzle is when I am watching tv or while I am taking a break from drawing. Its mind benders are super fun and trying to match what is in the little screen can become increasingly difficult. I totally recommend that you try this one. Oh and click on them really fast cause they sneeze and something funny happens, and the big ones have something that they do too. Oh and if you put Chuzzle into windowed mode you can play it while watching a movie on your computer. I find it very handy and they are so cute.

                                                   Plants Vs Zombies.

Squash.

This game is more addictive than Chuzzle because it really requires you to think, but is extremely funny. Basically the whole point of the game is to plant sunflowers and gain sunlight points that you need to grow other plants, but you have to be fast so that you can defend your house from the approaching zombies of all shapes and sizes. There are normal everyday zombies, then some wear road cones and buckets. Then some use doors and drive tractors and there are ones on pogo sticks and in football clothing. They get hard when you get to the miners that dig under the plants and come from the back, but you can get plants that shoot backwards to kill them. And there are flying ones that have balloons on their back, you need a Cactus to kill them. As for the plants there are so many to choose from, some shoot pea's others eat them and there are star shooting ones and even mushrooms for the night time maps. There are corn and butter throwers and even watermelon launchers. My favorite plant of all is the squash. You plant it and it, you guessed it, squashes things. Its good against all zombies, though sometimes you need two. It also comes with a zen garden when you get plant seedlings and have to water them and feed them to make them grow. My favorite thing to do on there are the minigames, there is bejeweled like minigame where you have to match the plants while holding off zombies. There is whack a zombie and even zombie fishtank where you have to feed them. And if you want to try your hand at the zombies you can play as them in one of the areas. Plus there is a survival area where you have to survive 5 rounds of zombie attacks, trust me they can be hard. Give it a go and I bet you will find it fun.

Viva Pinata.

Whirlm

Viva Pinata is an awesome game, its very intricate and is an incompletable game. Your task is to attract Pinata's to the garden, get them to stay and then breed them. Well it's not called breeding, it's known as romance dancing, some of the dances are really funny and cute. You have to build homes and plant things and have specific things in your garden before some of them will stay for you. As you begin leveling you start to get sour pinata's that like to make your pinata's sick and even likes to break them and eat their eggs. Its really an odd thing to think about but yet I dare not play it on a work day because I have trouble putting it down. All the Pinata's are named after food like the Bunnycomb and Mousemallow and even the Sparrowmint or Roreo, bet you can guess what they are. One downside to this game is that the garden becomes crowded too easily and you are always having to sell pinata's to get new ones in your garden, and this limit has to count lollies and trees and flowers and houses and assistants. I say give it a try and perhaps one day we can send some Pinata's to each other. :D

I hope you liked todays blog, it was supposed to be done yesterday but I was really tired last night because I am still getting over being sick. Talk again soon.

Bastard Snorlax

Hey Guys,

Today I want to talk about Pokemon Heartgold, this game was so awesome and easy to do for the most part. I had finished all of the Johto area's and was mostly done on the Kanto area when I discovered the Snorlax. So thinking I was smart because I had played the original gold, I headed to the old couple above the bike path in Kanto cause that's where you got the pokeflute. Guess what, no pokeflute. So I was stuck and didn't touch the game for nearly 6 months, then a couple of days ago I decided to play it again to figure it out. 

Flew to Lavender town and went into the radio tower and was clicking on things randomly when I saw a sign and sent over to it. I clicked it and it said "Pokeflute plays 24/7 in Kanto only."
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.
Why did I not notice this sign 6 months ago? So stupid. Went to the Snorlax, kicked his arse and caught him. That fat bastard blocked that road for 6 months and he couldn't even put up a fight. I was so disappointed that it had taken me so long.

In other news, my old Deviant art was attacked by a troll last week, kinda funny what he wrote though.

You know who you are.

Had a good laugh when I saw this and decided to see what his problem with me might have been when I noticed that he was only a week old, this thing was made on purpose and had only commented on my stuff. I'm figuring it's probably one of the people that have been told bullshit about me to pick Lewin over me even though I never asked them to choose. P.s: Lewin is my ex and also the leader of the group I used to exist with. Sounds like some child's play is at work and I have no idea what I did to provoke it.

But let us not dwell on the boring things in life. I want to say that no matter what goes on behind the scene's I will get stuff done. Even worked out a schedule for uploads of everything that I will be linking  as soon as I can draw it up on the computer, this is really good for me because with the schedule set this feels more like a career and not just a hobby. I am going to be pushing back the amount of comics I will be making per week to just 2. This gives me some social time and time to work on other things too. Going to be uploaded every Friday and Saturday, Australian time. I will still be doing a pokemon every day. Going to Blog every Monday - Friday and then a random extra thing with be uploaded on Sundays. Not saying that its all I will upload but I will be keeping them in the schedule. :D

Lastly today I want to say that if you are looking for a game to play but are not sure what. Try Portal 2, it's puzzling and funny and I was addicted to it and played it non-stop for like 2 weeks. So you should totally give it a try and watch the tears start flowing as you Laugh your arse off.

Night guys, till tomorrow. ^_^

My comic

Hi, I'm Dannie, as you can see.
Let me start by saying that I am sitting here at 10:30pm and cannot sleep because of a bad cough and my little sister who decided my room was better than hers and is snoring at the end of my bed.
So I decided to look for something interesting to so and came across this. I figured what the heck, whats the worst that could happen?

I am a comic artist as a profession, currently being paid nothing to do what I do all day long. I just do it cause its fun to tell stories and make people laugh.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My main comic I.M. Me is about a how easily the internet can affect your life if you let it. How something as simple as facebook and twitter can make life much harder and less secrets can be kept and at the same time it can make so many things easier, like new friends and shopping and even getting a job.

Shya

Shya is the main character in the comic.
She is young and innocent and sometimes too trusting for her own good. She is 23 and her favorite colour is blue. She is an avid gamer and has trouble saving money because of her love of them. Not the  most social person in existence except online. But never used a chat site before. She has a cat called Shadow that she has had for 6 years, he is the one thing she would give all her games away to keep, well maybe not all of them. Her first job was as an assistant to a man that she though was really nice, they dated for a while and then she found out he was dating multiple others in the same office. When she talked to him about it he broke it off with her and then later that day she was sacked. This caused her to be in a depressed mood and locked herself in her room for days to sit in the dark and cry. Which leads me to the next character Heydi.

Heydi

Heydi is 22, is much wiser than Shya and is very outspoken. 
She loves her pink phone and takes it everywhere with her, always checking her facebook and twitter, posting every hour without fail. She is Shya's roommate and a very stubborn one at that, she taught Shadow not to scratch the sofa and has a strict schedule about shower time. Everyday she is up at 6am, has her breakfast. By 7am she has all the windows open to get fresh air in the house and was off to work. Leaving a note of things Shya had to get done that day. After Shya hid in her room for a few days and things didn't get done, Heydi began to get more and more annoyed at the situation, finally Heydi managed to get Shya up and out of her room. Heydi wanted to get Shya back out into the sunlight and get her some new friends but everything she suggested just made things worse so they went out for ice cream. While they were at the ice cream parlor they discussed the fact that Heydi hates men looking at her chest and decided to take a unique way of trying to deal with it. A young man noticed them and walked past them to hear what they were saying and overheard Shya say she had just broken up with someone and decided to attempt talking to her. Knowing that she had no guy in her life meant that he could talk to her without being beaten up, which had happened once or twice before.

Shya meets Terry.

Terry is an avid anime fan and has a big secret.
Terry asked Shya to add him on a website known as Chatbox, its a site I made for this comic. Shya had no idea what it was and before she could answer Heydi interrupted. After things go chaotic for a while Shya gets herself a Chatbox account and adds Terry. He really wants to see The Avengers and wants someone to go with him and invites Shya who says yes. This makes Terry really excited because everyone he has invited before said no and he was getting worried that he would have to go see it alone. You find out later that his dad is asian, but grew up in Australia. His mother is MIA, no one knows where she went after she left his father because of his anime collection and anger problems.

Aleira

Shya's Sister Aleira has a strong fashion sense.
Aleira is the owner of a nightclub and is working most nights there, she has a massive wardrobe full of clothing and hates to wear the same thing twice in a month. She has a passion for reading books and sometimes wishes that men were as good as they were in her books. She is 26 years old and loves her life. Whenever Shya is in trouble she will always come calling and help her the best she can, although Shya may not see it as help more like torture. As sisters do, they bicker and hate each other now and then, this makes being friends with both of them difficult because you have to make sure you are up to date on their arguments before mentioning them. Aleira uses Chatbox, Facebook and twitter to promote her business and to gain new customers. One day she would like to sell the nightclub and open a bakery, but that's for later in life when she wants to settle down and have a family. Which ain't happening now.

Kris

Shya's brother Kris is 16 and a troll at heart. 
Kris is an avid gamer like Shya, but being a teen at school all day he cannot afford to buy them so he pinches Shya's as she buys new ones. He loves to play dumb and act like he knows nothing when he really does, probably learned all he knows from gaming and watching youtube. Trolling is like an art to him and he does it with pride, planning one day to be a comedian, his favorite class is Drama. If Kris doesn't like you or something about you he wont keep it to himself, he will tell you even if someone asked him not to. His family call him a bear of very few brains because he is a bit slow sometimes. Not to mention when he wakes up he looks like he just came out of hibernation anyway. Kris can eat almost anything and eats a lot.

Aaron

Aaron is Shya's cousin, he never leaves the house without wearing something on his head.
Aaron is yet to be seen in the comic because he is away on a trip at the moment, he is an Actor/Vlogger who has an obsession with wearing something on his head at all times, Even when he is at home. He is a smart arse Troll that can make someone stutter with one sentience and loves to get attention. He knows how good he looks and walks around in only the best clothing he can get, showing off for girls is a talent that he perfected at a young age and that is what got him his career. He is only a year younger than Shya and they are the same age for 2 days which he reminds her of every year. Shya thinks of him as yet another brother.

Well this is all I have to tell at the moment guys, I hope this was interesting and would love to do some more of this again tomorrow. But I got work to get done now and I hope this was entertaining. Have fun guys and enjoy the rest of your day.
