TITLE:
"a pessimistic sense of inadequacy"
___________________________
ABOUT MY CONTENT:
The website is going to be a vent for my real life frustrations. To put it out in a creative artistic way. Yes I'm going to "blog" each comic, but how I write isn't in an immature way, but rather I tend to ramble on and break off into tangents. As a "WTF is he talking about?" style of contributer to the message board I frequent, I tend to deliver one hell of a good post that gets people entertained. I tend to post insightful, or rather things you never considered, at times. I'm pretty individualized in my thinking.
The comic itself is going to be a satirical representation of musings and thoughts I have about inconsequential and seemingly unimportant matters. Along with human-sized animals/characters/beings/pets (i have not decided yet) that will play as protagonists or antagonists to a character in some why. So its a bit surreal as well. Including taking thoughts and situations and putting them to semi-extremes.
The actual direction of the comic should tie in with the "blog" post each time I update, which I hope to be weekly. The actual plot of the comic, for now, is going to be random and undefined, but perhaps later it will develop into something more. I also plan to do some webcomic parodies or satires for fun, but not as a mainstay. I don't plan to borrow any characters from other webcomics for use as regular, nor semi-regular characters. Though I would still be open to the idea.
The name is "a pessimistic sense of inadequacy", but its not meant to be a depressing webcomic, but rather satirical. The style of the website is in greys because I thought it would look cool, and I worked hard on a simple style for the site which I am pleased with. All text images were made from flamingtext.com's image makers. Plus I am adopting Amber's "Fa Teen" Censor Panda image.

RATING:
The content is going to be rated Web 14, as I plan to include have some swearing and some satire probably not for people that should not be online without parental consent anyway.

EXISTING CONTENT:
www.fesworks.comI am using a Geocities website until I can figure out where to go with this content. Bear in mind the site might not load right because of Geocities' crappiness. So I uploaded the other comics to Putfile.com:

This content is in the early stages, as I may not filled everything out yet, and just got the few comics. I, of course, plan to be improving my drawing methind, but will continue to draw as free-handed as possible.
Unsure if I will be making color comics as a regular update, but I plan to do some here and there.
I do plan on continuing to update the site while my Application here is being processed and reviewed and challenged. I wanted to start this process now to motivate myself to keep making more comics.

How I heard about Xepher:
Saw a link at the bottom of Amber's DMFA webcsite.

INSPIRATIONS:
The first webcomic I recal ever seeing was Homestar Runner. I loved the comic, but they don't update as often as they used to. The next two I was told about, and they were Penny Arcade and VG Cats. Through VG Cats i went through their links and found Badly Drawn Kitties. From there i was hooked on webcomics. After that I found Amber's Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures and absolutely loved her comics AND the stuff she posted about. She sounded very real, and just like anyone else, but with a great talent for expressing herself.
That was all about a year ago. More direct inspirations have come from Badly Drawn Kitties, showing that "badly drawn" comics can work; DMFA which showed me a great expression of an artist; Punks and Nerds where randomness and parodies proved to be great when adapted to one's own art style; and Girly where the artists awesomely unique yet kinda old-school/pre-schoolish art style driven in adult-themes yet underlying kiddie-cute themes makes me wish I could draw like his simple yet complex stlye.

SUGGESTIONS:
Certainly am open to suggestions, but I still want to do my comic in my own way in my own style. I have a bad habit of making people happy by sacrificing myself for their approval. I hated doing this and this comic is going to be my own expression. So dramatic suggestions may not be taken, but don't take offense. It may work, but just not with my content.

CHALLENGE:
I need to take the Challenge. It will do me good to motivate me more into this. Despite the webcomic's title, I have gained a huge spark of abition for this project. BRING IT ON!
