Beach Blanket Blueberry-it has begun!

ignore him and keep up the great job. hope to see lots of blueberry action!

Current journal quoteth:

"At the beginning of the summer, I had made plans for 'Beach Blanket Blueberry.' Sadly, while I have tried to get my project going, I have come to the current conclusion that the story needs work, as well as my art skills. I am only killing the project for now, as I do not want to put out a shoddy story with shoddy artwork. Once I feel the story and my artistic ability could do the story justice, then we will see page 1 find it's way into the gallery.

And that's it for now. While the gallery is having sporadic updates, mainly because I have neglected my non-inflation work for awhile. I have several ideas for children's books, as well as an idea for an animated short that I must get working on, lest I become 42 and frustrated that I wasted so much of my life doing nothing."

Sorry bud, you were a little bit premature making this topic.

I think it is safe to say he is going to give it a try, at least.

They're college age characters, not children. Now how about apologizing to Uruseiranma for making accusations of something?

does it say that somewhere? i haven't seen it and have you seen the rest of his gallery?

A) If you'd seen his gallery as you claimed, you'd have seen the cover, which shows a teenage girl. Not a child.

B) If you'd have looked through his scraps, you'd have seen more sketches of the 'Violet' character. Again, not a child. There's at least three sketches there, if you'd look first before getting riled up.

(C) That little key next to the letter 'z' on your keyboard? That's called the 'Shift' key, and it makes letters capitalized where appropriate. Please, feel free to practice using it. Notice I said, 'where appropriate.' Please don't write your next reply entirely in capitals.)

dude he doesn't have to capitalize if he doesn't want to. this isn't a forum for proper grammar, ok.

"Teenager" spans the ages between 13 years to 19. That's 6 years of vagueness. Any human being under the age of 18 is still considered a "child?, which leaves 2 years of your statement to fit into.

What are you basing her age off of? The fact she has breasts? Girls, on average, have fully developed breasts between the ages of 13 or 14, and first begin to develop them normally around 10.5 years. I would hardly think of them not being a "child" at that time.

I can see where the poster is coming from, though, as in all those sketches the girl looks like she's probably 15 at most. Also, walking through his gallery, the array of childhood icons succumbed by his hand (many of which in their respective stories are very under age) could give the impression that he is using under age characters in this comic.

This makes you appear like you have no points at all, and are resorting to petty grammar nazism.

Hmm, I see that this post has veered from an announcement of the project to age issues.

As the creator, I'll try and clear the issue up.

The guy and girl in the comic are actually supposed to be 19. The scene is taking place after college finals (there was an allusion to this partly in page 1, and some more information will be told in Page 3).

I had originally thought of making the characters 'high-school age,' but realizing that 'certain articles of clothing might be popping off,' I decided that 19 would be their appropriate age. I just don't want to stop the comic and have one of those scripted lines like 'Well, I'm glad that being 19 years old and in college allows you to enjoy moments like this.'

On a final note, I just released page 2: http://uruseiranma.deviantart.com/ar...-Pg-2-69038545. I'm pretty happy with her name, which is Chinese in nature. What sealed the deal for her name, was when I found out what the last name 'Qing' means in Chinese.

Godwin's Law rises yet again.
Meh.
