I haven't been updating this journal much since I prefer to stick everything on my LJ. Since I use pictures there but not here.

I think I might use this space for more artistic thoughts.

Over the past two weeks, I sort of created two new original characters. I seem to have a thing about making use of my own characters and not canon ones-maybe because, as the creator, I feel that I can do whatever I want with them.

The first new guy showed up when I had this image in my head of a tribal person watching a herd of dinosaurs pass in front of him. After a few related thoughts, he stumbled into my minds eye. All I really have right now is that he's some kind of stone age hunter-type guy. He's all thin and gangly. Maybe he's just out of his teens. I think he is. Right now, though, I need to do some fleshing out of him-he doesn't even have a name.

The other guy is more developed. He's a big burly 18th century Scotsman whose name so far his Hugh McDiarmid. Unlike other big burly 18th century Scotsman, he's got a giant set of fusion cannons in his (cyborg) right arm, which looks like any other right arm until it transforms and folds out into guns. He got it from aliens, who abducted him while he was lying, almost dead, missing his right arm, on the field of battle-exactly why they gave him a set of BFGs is a mystery. As well as giving him immense firepower, it projects a shield, making Hugh invunerable to projectiles. Essentially, he's unkillable. I'm interested to see what effect this would have on him-I'm thinking that he'd be supremely overconfident. It'd also have a major effect on history-since he could single-handedly kick the English's collective arse.

I have to draw these guys a bit more before I end up with a final version that I'm happy with.

Also, Revenge of the Fallen tomorrow! I can't wait!
