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.

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.
