Got some art done today, but only managed to upload one part of it cuz I'm lazy like that. Nothing special, and it's still a work in progress. I've pretty much filled up my sketch books round here though, so I'll be needing to invest in some new materials here soon. I've been using Moleskine mostly because their paper kicks butt, but my budget is kinda tight so I suspect I'll get something a bit more modest. In the meantime I'm going to start work on a couple of stories, since I've got a whole folder of ideas to work off of. Might as well go over a couple of em here.

1. (1920s era) A young British aristocrat (who happens to be a veteran of WWI and the victim of its economic aftermath) moves to America and assumes the lifestyle of a party going, gambling, drunk. But while digging himself deeper into debt and misery, he stumbles across an unexpected romance with the gallant singer and pianist of his favorite speakeasy. Soon the musician is setting him on the straight and narrow path and saving him from the varied mobsters and bookies to whom the aristocrat owes money. But the Brit will soon discover that the musician has many secrets and troubles of his own.

2. Policeman Don Quixote (yeah....short summaries can't mean anything good, but it's all I've got for now)

3. A Jacobite who sails to America to escape execution by the Brits takes up the fur trapping trade to earn the money he needs to forge his way in the New World, but finds himself at odds with a local band of Native Americans. Fights ensue, and when he discovers that they've kidnapped the son of an elderly man with whom he does business, the Jacobite turns all heroic and saves the boy. Only the boy isn't exactly a boy. He's pretty much the same age as the twenty something Scottish rebel.

4. A farmer dreams of becoming an explorer and joins a band of disreputable sailors to see the world. Turns out they've mistaken him for a rather famous naval captain, with whom he bears an uncanny resemblance, and the piratey sailors decide to hold him hostage for a hefty ransom.

So let me know which one yall like best and I'll get working on it ASAP! WOOT, I feel kinda acomplished.
