Page 7



The cloud the girls been breathing in begins to take a toll on her, as she get's dizzy and passes out, Richard the doll tries to comfort her. You know when I look at the bubbles that are meant to represent how dizzy she's becoming, I think of these old cereal I remember trying, with colourful letters and they were almost like marshmellows... Maybe it wasn't a cereal.

So now you know, their clouds, not steam or smoke or any other gas you'd thought of, but why is it affecting peoples minds when they breath it in? What's it being tainted with eh?

Also, I've been updating the layout of this page a little more, as I figure out how the CSS is working in this page, I've also added a donations button.





I will soon add previews of wallpaper pictures that I might hope to give as incentive for anyone to donate, if you donate £2.50 I'll draw whatever you want. Just send me an email at Beta_ruler@hotmail.com when you do to ask me for what you want!

C'mon! XD this is the part where u should tell ur friends if u think this comic is up to scratch of not!

Page 5 and 6



Reading may become difficult, I apologise for this and will try to plan better in future pages on how to avoid making the dialogue bubbles so confusing.
(NOTE: in fact I am going to have to just split these comics back into 2 seperate pages, which might be difficult, but this size is just too small to read)
(NOTE2: Had to cut the picture in half and just hope they stick together without big line stabbing through the middle)
(NOTE3: Actually I ended up going to Imageshack! They let you upload images without resizing them, WIN! WIN! But I'm unsure if I'll put pages together like this again in the future, just colouring 2 at once was kinda tough, it's like you need to keep urself at an easy going pace)


They've returned to the girls parents house, now our strange protagonist makes his way into the house

It should be quite important, to me at least, if not to anyone making comics, to put some thought into each and every panel, many comics focus on expressing as much as they can, such as they give characters really dynamic poses or stretch their mouths when their shouting to better emphasize their action. I think I will try to explore emotion, if I could ever get as much emotion as even Oda who creates One Piece I would feel pretty good for my work perhaps, for he is able to put emotion into one piece, without needing to kill characters unlike so many other shonen jump series.

I was also tempted to put a load of insane babbling dialogue coming out of the antagonists dreamscape, in the 4th panel, but thought I'd leave it out for now, maybe later I'll get a better oppurtunity to put it in.

A rant, about me

While I am in the middle of making the next page to my comic, I thought I'd take the time to talk about myself a bit, it feels a little risky, considering how scared I am of people ever reading stuff about me and my feelings, including people related to what I talk about, but regardless I will give it a try again, hoping I wont be made to regret trying, for I have been often hurt for trying, I've never truly gotten over the ammount of pain I feel when I fail where I was trying so hard.

I'll have you know that perhaps much of this comic I have made so far is a projection of my mental self, as I am exploring my mindscape. I am also trying to make a mental grasp of others around me, and their natural affinity, just as I grasp my own, everything we all do has a natural affinity, a lot of it can be nailed down to our favourite colours, and to discover our element. But even though I think I have it grasped, it's still very elusive to discover.

I'm good at giving myself addictions, or acquired tastes, perhaps their qualities of an upper-class twit to you, but I find them quite intriguing. Lately of note I have a desire to read old poetry and to give classical music a try, because there is a refined beauty in both that we overlook for our pop media now, but old poetry and music has become quite timeless, I can admire the refined imagination of some of these old artistic minds, but I can consider even a scientist to have an artistic mind if he invents, for it would take a wild imagination to discover and invent.

I do have a dream I wish to rant about now too, as much as I often have tried to reject it... It has been my only dream for possibly 2 years now. If I had a forte it would be my determination to fulfil my dreams, regardless of how impossible they seem. This latest dream of mine may seem frustratingly impossible too, many tell me I should give up, or that I should look elsewhere, and I have been trying, the last half a year was an attempt to try, but no matter how much I tried I just couldn't get this goal out of my mind.
Basically I'd call myself in love with some one, and I just wanna experiment doing things with her, since she shares my enthusiasm to experiment doing so much weird stuff in life, it's hateful that I can't see her at the moment since we're both tied up with our lives, but if I get the chance to bring us together I will, we're always sharing ideas and things we like when we talk online, because he have such a difficult time sharing what we like with other people in life, I have been told I can do better than her, but I really doubt that, I don't think anyone else will suit me!

wall painting



just something i painted up in my room, it's also in the background of my guitar videos I've made so far, I wanted a big board like this that I could explore painting whatever I wanted onto it, I mostly used just a few brushes and some heavily watered down cheap acrylic paints, the basic colours at that, red, yellow and blue with black, and I've got some white paint lying around.

Page 4!



As the artists experiments on this comics format goes to the extreme, the odd antagonists start leading the story.

I think that what I'm making is not yet natural enough for my tastes, but as I continue to make these I hope that these elements will fit in, as practice makes perfect. It's all very experimental.

Page 3



As this girl becomes more exposed to this creature, she completely looses her grasp of what is even happening around her, it's giving off steam if your wondering, while glowing purple, just as the doll begins to glow yellow at the end, I am sorry, for this comic will be shrouded in mystery, madness, and when we get focused past this little girl there will be cryptic messages, the ammount of weird things that happen for the first time are many in the first chapter, it may leave some one thinking "what CAN'T this creature do?", but I hope we'll get to a point where you can realise just what this thing is doing, when you come to realise what it is.

Page 2


I felt really out of practice when I drew this, but I wish to continue doing this untill I feel into practice, then things will start to get stranger, as the reality their set in is warped by the creatures, and the dialogue moves from stiff wording to cryptic muttering that will ultimately hold the clues to unravelling the mysteries this comic will contain, even if their quite simple, this will be an effort to hide those simple mysteries to my utmost ability.

Cover of Syd Barretts Milky Way



I noticed some chords in the sheets were wrong for this, plus Syd variated with the chords a little, I didn't take note of where the exact variations were however, but I can give you the basic idea for what was happening and what I was doing.

Chords I used

F (for F2 and F3, I just mean play this from the 2nd and 3rd fret instead of the 1st)
e -x-|---|---|---|---|
B -x-|---|---|---|---|
G ---|-x-|---|---|---|
D ---|---|-x-|---|---|
A ---|---|---|---|---|
E ---|---|---|---|---|

A*
e ---|---|---|---|-x-|
B ---|-x-|---|---|---|
G ---|-x-|---|---|---|
D ---|-x-|---|---|---|
A ---|---|---|---|---|
E ---|---|---|---|---|

The rest of the chords are as simple as muck chords, their the same as they are in the link I referenced in the first paragraph, use them or search chord finder in google to get the chords or something.

E-----------------------------------------------------B----------
What you ever have to say when your in the milky way
-----------A--------------------------E--------
Oh tell me please, just to give you a squeeze
----Dm---------F---------A-----------
If I met you, I told you, what to do
F------A------F-------------A---------F-------A--B-----A-F#-B
Seems awhile, since I could smile the way you do...

E-------------------------------------------------B----------
How many times if I try if I may when your in the milky way
---------------D----C-----------A----
Take half your time, besides me only
----Dm-------------------F-------------------A--
Atmosphere, the singular raised by heats and wet
F------D------F3------------A---------F2---A----B-----A-F#-B
Seems awhile, since I could smile the way you do


Theres the 2 variations, plus he ends the last line differently like this

F----------D-----F3-------A---F2------A-B-----A-B-A*
Means five miles and everyway for you...

I'd like to think that at the moment, my playing probably sounds terrible, and my voice too, but that with practice, I'll go through most of the songs I know, and then start replaying ones I already did covers for (like calling them version 2) and finding out that I am getting better...

Comic started


It took the best of 2 days, but I got the first page done, and given myself a template to work from here on, I've had the character floating in my head since January, and his story started to develope in the summer a little bit around when I went to the Glastonbury music festival, it may never make any sense to you, but to me the ammount of light it will shed will be priceless, what the light is shining on should become crystal clear.
