For anyone wondering, here is a really bad picture of Captain Peachy!



     Hey, ladies, gents, and genderless beings floating in the endless expanse of space! Below is my (very) rough draft for the final speech.




       In third grade, tiny me and a friend were inspired by the Captain Underpants books, and decided to start a comic. We called it Captain Peachy Comics, and we hand-drew every page. It never got sold, and I still have some of them. Recently, my brother found them, and now he has picked up drawing Captain Peachy. That character still occupies my homework sometimes. So it seemed almost natural to draw a comic for my twenty percent time. Sadly, it is not about Captain Peachy, but some new characters (they’re not fruit), and I think of these characters as my children.
            I was able to create the characters, draft the first and second chapters, draw the first chapter, upload the pages to a comic website, and even do a couple speedpaints towards the beginning! This did not quite line up with my goal of drafting to chapter four, but I also did not plan to do speedpaints or design different outfits for the characters, so I think that evens up. Also, I had to redraft chapter one and two because of lost data, so I can excuse myself. I won some and lost some, so I guess it was a draw!
            I learned so much about drawing comics and drawing quickly and accurately! I learned to manage my time and advertise my works. I still need to figure out some of the features of Medibang, the program I use, and I need to learn to pace my pages better. I need to figure out a better way to advertise.
            As I stated earlier, I lost the draft for chapter one and two towards the beginning and had to redraw them. I learned to get rid of same face syndrome, something I have trouble with. In the middle there, the site I was using updated and I couldn’t add pages to the comic for a while. I had to wait it out. Afterwards, I was unable to upload from my laptop, and had to transfer the pages to my phone then upload them with bad reception. I’m really proud of the fact that I drafted chapter one in a week, which is pretty quick. I figured out how to use the panel option in Medibang, which made things easier. I drew one page in perspective!!!
            Originally, I had a character in a wheelchair, but I had to cut her out. Maybe she’ll appear later? If I get to do tpt again, I’ll pace myself better. So with that, my final thought on the subject is: Chapter two, here I come!!!1!
Just finished rough draft of final speech (lots of puns)! Today's page will be a little late, I had Solo and Ensemble and then Martial Arts last night, so I didn't have time to draw the page after I realized I lost it. I've noticed Medibang has a lot of problems with their drafting program, but this week's page fiasco was all my fault! See you next week on: What Could Go Wrong???

I decided to show you guys what playlist I use when Drawing: Here you go!

haha jk here it is: :-)

Today had been eventful and I'm only eight and a half hours into it! When I got onto medibang this morning, I found that updating to Windows 10 solved my pen pressure problems! This means that the quality of my comics will increase and look a bit more professional. I have also managed to make a font out of my handwriting (sample below) which will make the lettering process quicker, neater, and easier to read!
Sadly, technical difficulties arose and I have to draw out all my apostrophes, but it is a small price to pay. :)

Sit down because some not that complicated stuff is gonna hit you like a train.
There is an alien planet which holds a race of snake people. The basic ruler of this planet is the Prophet. One Prophet decided to send a radioactive element down to earth (by random selection) for jokes and laughs.
She sent it down to the governments with the message basically to have fun. The element was dispersed and we are taken to America where six young children have been basically forced into volunteering to be tested and injected with the chemical.
They are basically mutated and develop powers. Eventually, the world ran out of the element and facilities were shut down. These volunteers went on to have children, and surprise! The powers are genetic.
When a powered individual, later named a mercenary, has a child, the powers leave the parent and begin showing in the child after a traumatic experience. Sometimes the power is exactly like the parent’s, but sometimes it is slightly different. The gene has been named the self preservation gene.
Task Force Six takes place a couple generations afterwards. The world has basically forgotten about the while ordeal, but the governments monitor the powered individuals closely and try to keep them hidden.
There is a cult that has tried to get the same results as the element without the element itself, which ran out long ago. The results were less than perfect, resulting in mutilated bodies and no powers to be seen. These cult members who were mutated decide to use these mutations to their advantage and form ANARCHY, the group which is the main antagonist of Task Force Six.
Fast forward to after the apocalypse, when Immortal takes place. The Prophet who sent the element down also came up with a prophecy basically glueing humanity to earth for all eternity.
Mercenaries make up over half the population, all of them with powers. They use these powers to complete jobs for money. The Prophet is bored with Earth and sends her best Deity to spice things up and try to destroy earth. She doesn’t tell this Deity that what she asks is impossible. That is the plot of Immortal.
Thank you for reading, sorry it was kinda long.
