The one with my first webcomic: "Loading..."

A couple of years ago, I thought it might be a really cool idea to start a webcomic. I didn't know that I obviously needed certain "abilities" like drawing and being able to maintain a storyline for periods longer than a day. And don't get me wrong; I LOVE writing and all, but I always end up making up stories with superpowers and epic battles, and -let's face it-, I can't keep a story straight and I suck at drawing epic battles. If I were to draw a battle, it would start off looking a little bit like this:


And then:


And to make things even more weird, I'll start thinking about adding bears with chainsaws (and I really can't draw that... see?):



I know... IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!!! And my drawing skills are just lame (trust me, I tried reeeeally hard on that one).

I always think that an epic battle HAS to have some sort of explosion or a guy that's owning people like if he's Jack Bauer (seriously, the guy NEVER DIES!!! What's up with THAT? He's like the human Superman or something). But if I write something like that, I'll probably get thrown into jail for copyright infringement, and I really don't wanna go there because then, how will I be able to play Final Fantasy Versus 13 once it comes out? I wouldn't, that's for sure.

So I'm stuck with stupid battles between ninjas and bears with chainsaws, and I think I've made my point in NOT being able to draw.
Here's the first picture I drew of a bear with a chainsaw, in case you don't believe me:



I showed that to my Boyfriend and he was all like "well, drawing is simply not one of your best strengths".

I beg to differ:



That's me and a friend of mine playing volleyball while boyfriend is asking for help, 'cuz in THIS scenario he doesn't know how to swim. AND I drew it in 12 minutes! Take that Picasso! So, I WIN!!!

(Alright, maybe Boyfriend was just trying to be supportive and stuff, but still... you don't tell a girl that she kinda looks fat when she asks you if she looks fat... it's just impolite).

Anyways, these are a couple of scripts of my first webcomic called "Loading..." which I never continued, and I hope to continue someday (if I ever find the time between my job, my house chores, my book writing, my blogging and videogaming).

If you feel like doing so... I don't know... no rush... just suggesting that you might wanna do it... please? I'll give you candy if you do! Well, no, I probably won't, but I'll love you more and you can't compare my love, because you can't buy it like candy!
(And, in case you didn't notice, I said "probably" won't give you candy... so there's a slight chance that I just even might).
