So, I'm kind of rethinking/retooling my Robomaid concepts now that I'm approaching the coming of the pitch bible. Most significantly, the main aesthetic. I'm keeping my kind-of-Astro-boy look but with a little bit of a Muppets thing going on too, and I'm totally changing gears on the 1950s alternate history thing. Since it occurred to me that doing a 1950s post-apocalypse is basically ripping off the awesome Fallout game that I draw so much influence from, so instead I'll be leaning more towards a weird mish-mash blend of the 1960s and 1970s. The idea spawned when I was watching "Westworld" and realized just how striking and distinct 1970s era science fiction is and how little is actually explored in an aesthetic sense. I mean, it's like we have the 1950s, some of the 1960s, Star Wars, Alien, and then the 80s starts. Where are our unsung praises for the bizarre stylistic trappings of "Logan's Run", "Soylent Green", "Zardoz" (snicker), and as previously mentioned; "Westworld". No less distinct are they than the fanciful wonders of victorian sci-fi and the campy pulp of 1930s science fiction adventure serials. Not to mention, many of them already feature quite prominently post-apocalyptic themes and imagery. Anyway, I should probably get some sleep... I feel super tired... Any thoughts on my wild sleep deprived rantings? Let's discuss if you want.

Hey there people who take the time to read my journal, even though I almost never make posts on here.
I got a special message to spread like butter on a biscuit.
Me and my sister are moving forward with Little Evil Genius to make it a thing, and we're using Kickstarter help us do that.
If you'd like to back us go here and donate your lovely heart out.
But please, no actual hearts. Just money. Hearts don't help make books, they just pump blood.
If you can't back, please help spread the word.
Pretty Please.
I'll love you forever.
You want love don't you?
Everybody loves love.

So, I've never really used the journal thing on here before. I never liked journals anyway. But, I guess I have this meme thing to do, so I guess this'll be my first journal post.
Got this do-hicky-ma-jig from Azes13. I don't know how to link on this thing, so just search the name or something.
RULES:
1. For each of the first 10 people to comment to this journal, I will feature one of their OCs. I'll even tell you what I like about the OC.
2. If you comment, you have to do the same in your journal, putting the tagger on in the first slot. The idea of this is not to get a free feature, it is to spread art around for everyone!

The "Triops Dragon" is pretty frickin' sweet. I dunno if creature designs count as OCs, but this thing is pretty radical looking. Makes me think of prehistoric life. My favorite kind of life. Plus, it's a dragon. Dragons are always cool. Especially when they're voiced by Sean Connery.
