Description "In your endo." - The Todd, Scrubs.
About sums it up? XD

Experimentation with narrative storytelling based on dialogue from a conversation my fiancé and I had, and also a bit more of pushing myself to actually finish a comic that I start, and work on it for some days persistantly. This was incredibly fun, some of the most fun I've had on art for a while! It was nice to work with this sort of sequential style and quick painterly-ness, and great practice!

Also, mature? I dunno. It's not exactly explicit, right? I know it's rather different to a lot of the other stuff I tend to upload, but it's more meant for a laugh, than anything. And also a bit 'ohnoyoudidn't', for when the reader inevitably realises what the dialogue actually means. Dohoho. I've seen far worse not flagged as mature, that's for sure!

I was actually considering entering this in the Daydream Contest, because it kind of fufills the requirements, but it is perhaps a little inappropriate. XD But hey, at least it's got a kind of cute ending, right?

This still counts towards my fair-share-upload-tally, by the way. XDDD I regret nothing ¬u¬

Kind of cute ending?
Kind of?

WHAT AN UNDERSTATEMENT!

Aww, 'Loka! I LOVE this! Very very much.
Like enough to keep coming back to read it over and over again, like a book I love on my shelf next to my bed.

Thank you so much for sharing this with us!

eeehehehe.. ;u; Thank you so much miss Laceati! I'm so glad you liked it, it means so much to me! This comic is really important to me, as are you and your comments, so it makes me so happy that you enjoyed it \;u;/ I'm so touched you keep coming back to read it! Hahaha, I could try and turn it into a very very small printed comic for you if you genuinely wanted it, but I don't know if it would work! I've never printed any comics before!

Well, if that could work out, it'd be so amazingly awesome that the words amazing and awesome don't cover it even remotely!
Then I could read it not on my computer screen and share it with my friends!

Mintoons [2010-07-18 01:10:38 +0000 UTC]

The painted look is so beautiful, and the glows and circles around the bird make it more pretty.

I did find that the scribbly text towards the end got a bit hard to read. I can see what you're trying to do with the coloured and semitransparent speech bubbles, but sometimes it makes the text hard to read. Maybe increasing the brightness or the opacity of the speech bubbles will fix it.

With all the effort you put into this, you could try entering it into the contest. As a comic it might stand out among the other entries.

Teloka In reply to Mintoons [2010-07-28 09:11:00 +0000 UTC]

Ahh, thank you so much. it was fun to work with painting rather than my normal sketching style, it was also faster too, I think, because I just went at what worked for the size of the panel rather than trying to cram in something I'd preplanned.. if that makes sense, haha. 8)

I'm sorry about the text, that would be my handwriting being illegible. The version I have is a higher-res, so it's easier to read, but I was concerned about it becoming difficult to read when I had to cram more text into a small space, like you noted. Thanks for the suggestions, though! ^_^

Hmm, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to enter it now that I've uploaded it.. I could try and would like to if I was able to, because I'm definitely not going to have time to do another entry like I was hoping I might. But I dunno, it doesn't really have anything to do with James and the Giant Peach XD

...BAWWW. This amazingly cute and wonderful and inspiring.

And also very "Damnit, Karl, that's naughty."

Haha. I was going to write something earlier, but seeing you do this... seeing as that thing I wanted to write includes Noah... I may make it into a comic.

As a try-out, anyway. XD I've also got a new way to try and get all their positions correct.... so that'll probably help.

Attempting time, woot! *fistpump*

.....I still love this, though. It's absolutely lovely. The colours, the drawing, the story.... Hmmmm~ It's all lovely. Fabulicious, if I may say so~ XD

You'll have to show me this project of you and mister Noah when you do it! Although I have already seen your little mister Mica. That must be quite a project for the two of you in itself, no? ;D

And what is this about... trying to get all their positions correct? Trying to figure out just what your comic might be about, considering mine, and I am sure this is all getting a good deal out of context, you see XDDD;;

But thank you so much! I'm so glad you like it miss Elmo! \;w;/

If I ever manage.
...........>/////////> Why do I grin stupidly at this? And a part of my brain here is flashing with an "innuendo!" sign. =____= Only thing is, Syngreen's given me the impression that Noah wants another child -w- More nappies and everything, jeez. Hello nameless child no. 2.

Yeaaaaah. In this comic I wanted to do some running, but I'm so terrible at action poses it's not even funny. So, eh, I'll work on something else for a comic. XD

I forgot to say, it amazes me how much you seem to have grown in confidence over the... I dunno, past year or so. If someone had piped up with this idea back then, you'd have been in a fit of blushing and wouldn't have done it at all. XD Something like that, anyway.

hahaha, well, I had a read of what I think you're talking about that you posted this morning. Very cute! \^.^/ It would be hard to draw, though, lots of running, yeah |D; I have vowed not to draw running again unless absolutely necessary. Why do my stories always have so much running? It's DoctorWho all over again ;u;

And it wasn't really.. meant to be an innuendo sign.. |D; I just sort of meant that a child is a very large and life long project. ^^ And awwr, hahaha. Well, I see all you other folks out there with your speed babies. ¬.¬ Why does it take none of you nine months of severe exhaustion and backpain and weird cravings, huh? HUH!? XD oh well. If you do decide to, remember, second time around you'll show faster! ^u^

ELMO-kibafangirl11 In reply to Teloka [2010-07-18 09:25:54 +0000 UTC]

Ah, cool. It's a good thing I posted it before I went to bed, then... Hoho. And yeah, I agree. No more running. Urgh =____________=

Teehee. I spend too much time talking to Syngreen. Y'know what she said when i told her that I'd had a dream that included Noah? "Was it a steamy dream? "

I face-palmed.

Ehhhhhhh. I DID have that stuff, I swear! I just conveniently forgot it. Helps convince me for the second time, errherr.

(I'm just imagining myself during the beginning of a second pregnancy. For whatever reason, I wont've taken the pregnancy test. Then, when I realise that I'm starting to grow outwards a bit, I'll think I'm getting bloated. Then I'll think I'm getting fat. Then i'll do a bit more excercise.

THEN I'd realise that it was a baby. And I'd probably smack Noah on the head for it. And then get all excited over another baby and hug him and be in a really good mood while Noah predicts the bad times ahead. =______=; XD)

Heehee, I got very blushy and awkward after writing the first kiss in the story. I guessed that you would be - I just thought that I'd point out how you aren't as much as you used to be. And it's probably a good thing to not care so much what other people think. As long as it's not against your own morals, all should be good. XD

hahahaha. Well.. if you're popping out kids like that, there's got to have been at least one 'steamy dream' in there somewhere ;D YOU'RE NOT FOOLING ME WITH THAT STORK STORY.

Andwellsure, but what happened to the 9 months of carrying and the four years it's taken your kid to grow up to how old he was in that picture? Huh? HUH? 8P Time travelling cheaters! TwT//

And you wouldn't take a pregnancy test if you weren't expecting it, I guess..? |D; And if you were expecting it, you'd have noticed the other signs. Wouldn't you notice your *cough* ladycycles being off time before you were showing? XD Although second time around you can show faster, so I guess that's questionable. XDD

Aww, is he a pessimist? That sounds a bit sad ;u; you'd think he'd be excited too! especially if he's the one who wanted another one ;u;

Hehe, but hey, at least you wrote it! I'm still pretty nervous uploading most stuff and there's some topics I do avoid on dA here, for sure XD just things that I'm really proud of I tend to want to put up, or if I put a lot of work into it or whatever, heheh ;u;/

YOU TOO? DX WHYYYY, PEOPLE, WHY. I HAVE AN INNOCENT MIND, ISWEAR. Eventhoughit'staintedwithterrible,horriblethoughts. CX;;

Uhm, no. I don't count the days
I don't think he IS a pessimist, though.... That's a good question to ask Syngreen. gosh, I should really know that. I'm more of an optimistically-depressing person, myself (as I've previously described it). I know that Syngreen's a cheerful pessimist... Hrm.. XD

>.> I'm... well, I'm not nervous about DA. I'm pretty sure that there's nobody on DA that can lecture me about fangirling.

It just worries me when people want to look in my sketchbook at school. I mean, I let them - but only a few know about Noah. And by a few I literally mean less than i can count on my hand. And then the slightly embarassing thing is when somebody reconises that it's me with some bloke they don't know - THEN we get awkward questions and me being... less than enthusiastic in answering. =____= I wish I didn't have to explain it. Half of the year don't like me anyway, it doesn't help to add that I have a fictional family that they'll probably think I created by myself for myself.

I don't really care, though. :/

With horrible, terrible hopefully very depraved? things, I see? XD

And that doesn't.. completely make sense |D;; I think you've lost me somewhere, hahaha. <8D;; Do your research, woman!

You don't know if he is or isn't a pessimist..? o.o Why don't you just ask him, haha. Mind you not all pessimists would be happy to just admit to it, I suppose!

People often go through my sketchbook and recognize pictures and the people in it (namely me!), but sometimes I stop them before they see anything particularly incriminating, haha. I'm not really bothered, though, anyone who judges poorly clearly isn't a close friend, and my close friends and family are all pretty cool with it. My Mum actually quite likes the boys and gets on well with them, although maybe she's just glad I'm not out partying XD

I dunno, some people will go "Oh! Is this your boyfriend?" so I just answer truthfully and say yes XD The awkwardness comes when they go "... so... who's THIS guy?" "my other boyfriend.... |D;" "... ooooooooooooooh~~~ lucky Teloka!" XDDDD which is fun, although sometimes embarassing, haha

.....Ah well, it works for me.
I think he's a realist. It seems more like him. Haha, you've just given me the thought of someone saying "I'm an optimist, DAMNIT. That's why everything's wrong with the world." XD

Accourding to my friends I have a "style" now. Which i never noticed until they said so. It's not much of a style, but I'm working on it XD But yeah, they can recognise if some doodle on a random piece of paper is mine or not. I find it odd >_>

And, uhh, most people just skip over the fangirling pictures, though I have a feeling they know it's me. Every now and again I'll get a "Who's this guy?" And I'll answer rather smartassedly, "Someone."

I did try saying once that he was a friend of mine, but then they were asking where he was from and AH. It just... meh. I hate it when people ask too many questions. XD;

Actually, my close friends know who the characters are (though sometimes it's hard to tell them that no, that isn't a new character of mine, that's fanart, they're someone ELSES). One of them will always go "Awww, it's you and Noah~" when she sees a fangirling picture. And then I just smile and go "yep."

One of my friends still refer to him as "scarf-guy"...
