Someone mentioned making a thread or something for this, so I thought I'd go ahead and do that, since I hear like 0 feedback on that comic (except for a few people who post on the message boards there) So if there's any questions or you just feel like telling me I'm completely insane for one reason or another, here's the place to go ^_^

Now I have seen lots of references to this the last couple of days, but untill today never even knew what UIU stood for. I pretty much gather that it is a comic. What's the link to it?

Oh man, I've been watching for bits of it on Deviant Art, but I didn't know you had put it up elsewhere, Amy! Yippee! UIU is the cutest thing! (Give Fernando a hug for me.) Oh,by the way, the onewhere chibi aMy says she's moving and Nando freaksout... god, that was funny! Realy worked to brighten my day!

Hmmm...yes, I actually do have a few ^.^ 1. How many fanarts have you recieved? 2. Who's given you the most fanart? (Perhaps I'm in the top 100? xD) 3. Have you met any of you readers in person? Just wondering ^.^ 4. Have you based any of your characters on one of us fans' appearance/personality? 5. If you answered no to #4 would you be willing to? (*Coughs*)

Hehe well I'm glad youse are posting here, it's been kinda lonely out in space for our zombie boy and breathing best friend ^_^ I'm glad youse like it too, that's probably going to reach print sooner than CTV, for the reason it's rather consistent so far (CTV needs some major re-draws in the early stuff before it goes anywhere) Ack, don't wanna sound like I'm forcing that on anyone either! Just a thought though, I was considering it.
1:For UIU, in all I think there's 11, counting between ones of just Nando (4) and both of them in a group or with some other characters and crossovers. 2:I believe that would be you Arya, with Ratty and Throgmorten coming in close both with 2 Fernando pictures ^_^ 3: 2 that live in Michigan, and I saw the back of the head of another, the fellow that goes by the name Lucky in the DD comic Halfway to Dead. I didn't wanna frighten him with" Oh my gosh, a drunkduck person! I like Bruce Campbell too!" (it was at Bruce's book signing/theatre release of "The Man With The Screaming Brain") 4:mm, not really but one (the first of the 2 I mentioned meeting, the other being his girlfriend) wanted very badly to be in a comic so he got the honor of being crushed by that car in the Hexavier comic where he revives Masan. He didn't care, though he is a cat lover apparently ^_^ I don't think that the personality of readers has completely left me un-influenced though. 5: Well, I've tried to keep it to a low-character amount for UIU, but I never say never (except if it pertains to questions like "do you want kids" or "would ya kill a man?") if I could fit a person into the story without it being too out of character, I think that would be kinda fun.

UiU is easily one of my favourite comics! Right up there next to CtV, it is! So cute! ^^
Although, I wondered why Zamey was all stitched up in the 'imagine if Amy was a zombie" comic...

Hee hee, I love the one about brain food. Brilliant! Then again, with Amelius in charge here, I guess brilliant is kinda a given!

To Violet:I think it's because I cheat ^_^ naw, well I just use all the default buttons on the keyboard in photoshop, so I'm not moving the mouse all over the screen left and right. makes things go a lot quicker when I figure out G&B are the paint and brush, W is the wand, and so forth, then adding shift or control gives you more options, in fact I just found out I don't have to hunt down all my layers in the layers pallette, because if I hold ctrl (I think) it lets me select it right on the canvas. And my mouse has a wheel, and that zooms up down, left right and in and out. Convenient! Also, it helps that whenever I go anywhere and get an idea, my folder is usually close at hand, and I've no qualms drawing against my knees on my sketchbook backing (except hiccups ruin things >_<) Also I just do quick shading with the brush set to "multiply". Lack of details in the hair helps too, except Amelius's hairdo is a pain in the rear.
To Scarecrow:'Tis mostly because Fernando likes that kinda thing (haha) well, he likes to think that if she's a zombie it's because he did it, and he might take a few nibbles here and there , especially in the areas where he's removed the brain a little ^_^ it was more or less channeling "Bride of Frankenstein" with that little dream sequence (y'know, tailor-made even)
To Flagg: I am thusly flattered *^_^* I wouldn't go quite that far, but I'm certainly glad you liked it! That one came to me when I read something about fish being "brain food", and I thought it would be funny to see Nando setting up a boxtrap for brains to take his "bait" ^_^

Yay this deserved a thread forum thing! I've been itching to talk about it but didn't want to be off-topic (hides from mod) XP Ehehe, I just read the new one It's so cute how Nando blushes blue. His detachable hands cause much trouble (^_^) As I'm reading these, I'm always wondering: how do you do the swirlies on the borders and bubbles? It's so cool, but isn't it tedious?

I've also wondered about those borders and bubbles..
But that's not my question, this is : Why did Blue-haired Guy(Skylar's new name as of now) take Amelius a rose? Then look all creepy-cool with that smile?! It plagues me so! But I still love the line, "Crafty villian, he's trying to steal my woman!" I laughed so much I got in trouble... But it was worth it!

Xdaggers: Ah yes tedious, but I'll do it just for the sake of being different ^_^ Well, first I spent a few minutes altering a custom shape's points with the white arrow tool to make the swirly shape, then when it was done I right-clicked and it gave me the option to save it. So I did, and now whenever I make word bubbles, I start with a normal ellipse, then click the "add to shape area" mode (icons on the top middle that are different squares, describes on mouseover) then I select the swirly, click-drag it over the balloons, then pick the black arrow tool to move that added shape individually of the balloon (otherwise it counts it all as one) then I either reposition it , or copy and flip it to be on the opposite side. I do the same with the borders, but remove the stroke from the shape first.I just put those whereever I think looks nice though ^_^ I made several other altered swirlies for different moods too.
Shai: You'll find that out on the page I'm making today (I'm late!)
Arya: Hehe, other thread ^_^ 'tis okay, it was on your mind here. We'll find out about that later too.
Violet: Oh, I still have to use the mouse for everything, it's just that when I know B=brush, it makes things go faster than moving to the toolbox to click on that. I'm gonna do the whole shortcut list in a bit, in fact...but yeah I do have to lay down all the flat colors first, and especially when I have small gaps in the lineart where using the paintbucket tries to fill the entire screen >_< I hate that! (if it's taking long, "Esc" works like a charms ^_^)

I was wondering (Not that our wonderfully secretive host will answer with more than she is willing to reveal.) if UiU Amelius was a necromancer?

I recall a faint memory of you saying we CTV readers could show you a few of our own characters to place in the background of Samrick's party? Or am I wrong? Eh...either way I wanted to volunteer Tu'lae and my cartoony form ^.^
