PHC 2005
« on: June 17, 2005, 09:24:52 am »
Back in 2000, when I started doing these Comix here on TPH, I used to just stay up til the crack of dawn cranking out pages for the stories I worked on.  Sometimes I'd sit through long periods of artists' block, trying to decide what I should draw next.  I've missed those days a lot lately, only because I knew back then, I was inspired to do something.  With school and everything, I haven't had the real will to draw anything in particular, or anything that had a purpose or something like that.  LoL  You'd think going to art school would do that, but no, it just totally zapped the inspiration outta me.  I was looking through my garage, and found my binder full of my work for TPH.  Everything from character designs to pages I never scanned were in there, and I always wondered how I could have done all of this stuff without ever penciling it out.  Last night, I grabbed a pen, sat down with a piece of paper, and drew.  Like it was five years ago, I stayed up til 6 in the morning trying to decide what to draw.  Well, I finally cranked out a little something, and it looks like this:

PHC 2005

From Left To Right:
First Row:  Silver, Logbot, Nate, Rachey, Makou, Dan, Kekkan
Second Row:  Linzi, Dhagi, Tiamat, ZL, Drache, Skully
Third Row:  Roxy, Tigre, OverWing, Pyche

These are all important characters to me; I was given the chance to bring them to life in my comics, and I tried my best.  I know each one personally, but now, they all exist in nothing but IRC logs on my other computer.  I talk to some of them occasionally, but I do miss the old days, and the people who I spent them with.  I'm so happy that I had the chance to know all these people who supported me throughout the years I worked for TPH, because they were the REAL inspiration behind everything.  From story ideas to character designs, you guys made these Comix so special to me.  I love you guys, and even with some atrocities like the Bitch story, you guys stuck by me anyway.  I'd love to do some more work while I'm on this kick, so let's see how long this lasts.  Thank you all so much.  :)

5 years ago I wasn't here...The only peoples names I know from that list of names, would be Protoman's.

Maybe, in time I might end up in one of these drawings XD

But if I can say only one thing, it's that your good at what you do. And maybe that you might end up finding a few people to add to that list of people who are good friends to you.

...Oh...And...I SPOT A CATGIRL!!! =^-^= Or at least one I think to be.

*whistles* damn, you're a good drawer....

I too, am a big time newb to the whole TPH thing. I only joined when the forum opened up. I would be almost to the level of a crew member, if I could do Genesis song rips....

Maybe neothe0ne should be in that drawing. He contributes a bunch to the site.

wow.

sorry to hear your life is kind of being weird atm, ow. you know that the comics and i will always be here, if that helps at all.

as for the pic ... i think it's bad ass. i especially like how the girls are all around me and how you did skully and roxy and tigre and ... hell, all them people. you [still] have this talent for putting what we know about people into your art, making something a lot bigger than just a drawing in the process.

really got me thinking about all the things that i liked about the way things used to be. recently i've really been giving myself a hard time about who i used to be, and i guess this helped me remember something about me that history has been a little kinder toward.

they were the people of tph, back in the day. only about three or four of the people in that picture (not including me) have even been to this forum, afaik. talking 2001 or 2002 here.

i should really write a complete history of the site sometime ... man, it would be so hard to handle the political stuff, though.

I don't think these are us.

1) The people are labeled, and I see none of our names there. =P

And

2) If It was the New people of THP....I'd be behind Tigre starring alot. XD

EDIT: Ok Protoman explained it too.

Very nice, OW.  Sometimes I miss the old days, too...but things change, life goes on, and I'm glad I'm at where I'm at now.  But, this is a nice momento to what we all had back then. *filches*
P.S.:  Hiya Nathan, and anyone else from the old crew who visits!

Miracle, huh?  Well, stranger things have happened...like #phc staying alive all these years, even after you left.  For anyone interested in meeting a few of the old crew, come visit us on EsperNet sometime...it's awfully quiet in there most months.

Man, you guys talking about the old days really brings me back to things I used to do on Project Jenova and Kiwibonga Advance... It's funny how I look back on those days, I was pretty much ignored by most members, and never really felt like I was part of the community. Pretty much the only place that happened was at Rom-Source, which has been around a lot longer than I've had internet. I can't really relate TPH to any of those, I'm not ignored, but I don't feel like I'm really part of the community.
I wish I could have been around back then, not to be in the comics, but just to see how the place was back then. You can expect to see me at #phc, hopefully I'll see you there too.
Soon to be a major motion picture!
