Alright I think I can get over myself and finally post this
This was a really awesome idea, going in line with my list of story plots I have for comics
You guys have already seen characters from Bounty, RUNE, and Masks (all rough names, likely to change when they’re actually being made) and now have had a peek at the main character of a 4th story I want to work on
But I’ve it kept under wraps, simply for the fear of someone trying to steal it, but I think I should just get over that, and put the idea out there before someone else does
I present to you, extremely rough concepts for (Much is subject to change/evolve/be built upon
Rainbow Mines
The basis of the story is a world that is lavished with art and colour and creativity. With these things, the humans of this world flourish on a huge earth filled with vibrant hues used with nearly everything. In this world, there are naturally occurring pigments in nature found below the earth in veins. These are called Pigment ores, and come in every colour imaginable
The humans of this world themselves carry little colour, being almost like albinos, with snow white skin and lightly coloured hair and eyes, while the animals hold bright, exotic colours
There are also dark creatures whom everyone views as a burden, being made of only dark neutrals (blacks/grays) and devour the pigment ores
In a small mining town of the Cool Colours, there is a young girl
Her name, being Pastella
As for plot points, there are many variations I’ve been mulling over, one that even my Dad helped me come up with
It could be an epic adventure, Slice of life, with internal and external conflicts, and even possibly saving the world
Much much much is to be changed, everything from the pigments to Pastell’s design
But that’s basis I have of the story
Weekdays (crappy art block comic)
My days seem to becoming just clones of each other
Wake up at 6:30
Go straight to bathroom, do my business and brush my teeth (to wake me up more)
Then I lay in bed, half awake for the next 15 minutes (til like 6:55 or something)
Get dressed in 75% of the same garb I wore yesterday while my cat meows constantly for attention
Go out to busstop (Bus comes at 7:12)
Suffer through depressing required education and disappointing optional education
Come home and fuck around on the computer til anywhere from 11pm to 2am

Persona Evaluation
I figured I’d do an evaluation of my own self, with my persona, etc
And why I do and don’t do some things while drawing myself
I figure it’s a good sort of exercise to see how you view yourself, which often shows through your persona
Alrighty
First off, I never usually draw myself with anything like boobs or hips or even eyelashes, THINGS that would automatically indicate ‘female’
I’ve just naturally resisted femininity since I was little, and I guess it’s stuck with me in subtle ways despite getting over my issue with things that are pink and dresses
Next, is that I more often than not, don’t colour myself with a skintone. I just remain blank white, almost like the homestuck kids, I guess, but that’s just a comparison
Hair-wise, I did used to have long wavy hair, that I got cut, summer 2012 to something a lot shorter, and actually something I preferred a lot more as well, and as for the persona, I kept the style of hair, but don’t draw it as long anymore
Then comes the whole STRING MONSTER alternate persona form, that ACTUALLY formally began once I had created Paint-ler. I needed a small, simple way to draw myself as a mod, and I used that specific form, eventually giving it the name 'string monster’ because of the string-like limbs and inhumane/animal features
SPEAKING OF animal features, the time I had originally come up with the basic design of my persona, I was still in my weeaboo days, and fox/cat ears and tail were a must. I had initially planned on dropping the ears and tail, but found that without them, my persona was pretty plain and missing something. So I figured, the ears and tail really just tie the whole package together
Looking at the contrast from my persona to my more realistic self has made me realize how differently I am from the physical appearance of 'Momo’, but, I find that it’s almost just like another form I take
Momo isn’t a different personality or anything, it’s still ME, just a different way that I present myself, on the outside
On the inside, I’m the same
And I think that’s something I’m pretty content with
