    I thought there was going to be a website for this? Online comic? Have I completely misunderstood? I've only just skimmed through the thread so will give it a proper read through now.

    I would assume there will be one.

    Dragan might have a place in mind, I don't know!

    So I have more time to read this now.

    Cupla ceisteanna, mais e do tholl e (before any one questions my Fada's or lack thereof this is an arabic keyboard. It doesn't appear to be able to do them).

    So basically there no real plot out lines so far as opposed to these manifestations appearing to the innocent am I correct ?

    Are they triggered by certain emotions (i.e - Feeling lust would trigger that "spirit" to make an entrance) sort of thing ?

    Was thinking about it last night and my thoughts were running down the path of the spirits manifest based on the emotions and try to persuade the innocent to follows through on the malicious thoughts that everyone can have now and then.

    Take an example - As you say a Christmas party scenario, the innocent starts to feel jealousy at the office bimbo who's getting all the attention maybe. Scene darkens and something manifests out of the darkness, the emotion jealousy/envy/vanity. A Renaissance/Casanova styled persona with a face as perfect as a porcelain mask. He starts to play on her jealousy, perhaps showing her hallucinations as to how she could act rashly towards the bimbo for her own benefit ?

    (Later the line between the hallucinations may blur and she finds that some of the hallucinations were her own doing perhaps ?)

    Am I on the right track here at all ?

    Would be very interested in helping along this project if I am needed, however I dont have very much in the way of skills to offer :D

    See I really like this! This is how my mind works, there's instantly something more "solid" to work with! Not to say that any other way is wrong, different strokes etc., but this appeals to me in a developmental sense :)

    Also forgot to ask in my last post - Do you guys intend to stick to the traditional 7 deadly sins or are other emotions available for inclusion, anger for example ?

    I cant say about the rest til I talk to Dragan, but sticking to the 7 deadly sins is boring. I'd like any emotion! but try to make it original and twisted... Thus the idea behind lust is that it's not just lust but blood lust.

    Hey guys, just wanted to pop along and see how this is doing!!! Some pretty fantastic ideas in here i must say.

    Have only had a quick scan as am working all weekend at the Kings Of Concrete Festival. First proper photography job so it's taking up a lot of my dedication.

    I'll give the thread a proper read when i get home later and i will go through all the PM's.

    For now though, thanks a million for all the interest! Had no idea it was going to kick off like this! :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,138 ✭✭✭takola


    Hey guys, is this still happening?

    I doubt I'll participate much because tbh, I don't think I "get it" but I was looking forward to seeing it come together! :)

    Dragan is a bit busy right now from what I hear but it isn't dead to me, certainly. :)

    Certainly not dead at all! :)

    I actually managed to start writing the quick draft of the story last night, it's mostly point based, very little dialgoue, mostly like a verbal storyboard and brief overview. The idea has changed in my head slightly....but only around the delivery!

    Anyways, hopefully i will get a solid enough evening of work behind it tonight and then post later for people to have a look at! ( Sorry i got no work done on it last week but i had SO many photos of the Kings of Concrete to sort out and do required photoshop on - 634 to be precise! )

    I would like in! Although my brain is fried and as such have no ideas to help you with...

    I'm useless.

    Still, Dragan...?

    You're in. Already have a role for you as well.

    Update : I have gotten some nice work done on the storyline this week but REAL LIFE ( uck! ) kicked up some dust clouds that had to be dealt with. I'm gonna have to sideline it for the next day or two but as of Monday i am back in the world of choosing my own artistic direction and i have decided to make this my full time project/vehicle to greatness.

    Thanks for all the patience and hopefully it will soon be rewarded.

    Kaz, the character's not a bad one, but you don't need to make stuff so personal. I really hope we're not lining up for another "little episode". I've already had this thread reported.

    I would ask the rest of ye to mind your own manners too, I'll blanket ban all participants of any argy-bargy.

    Now if we mix my character with your vaginal denistry we may very well have created the ultimate nightmare, that even goes beyond "The Grotesque" :D:D
    YES! Vagina Dentata FTW!!!!!


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 28,633 Mod ✭✭✭✭Shiminay


    It's not what you said, it's the manner in which you said it. You're calling others pathetic and coming across as someone with a big chip on their shoulder. Like I said, stop making stuff personal.

    I've got no reason to make any kind of "administrative" decision here, I'm jst telling the others (a lot more so than you Kaz) to keep a lid on. I already gave my +1 to the character, if others disagree with that, let them spell out their arguements why.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,148 ✭✭✭✭KnifeWRENCH


    I haven't really been following this thread, but I saw the phrase "vaginal dentistry" and am now intrigued! :D


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 25,868 Mod ✭✭✭✭Doctor DooM


    Ok Kaz you made your point. This is Dragans project and he doesn't want you involved.

    If you continue posting about it here I'll look at it as taking the thread off topic, I'd rather you just let it go now.
