Lazy Sunday

I skipped church today.  It was unwise as they had a meal prepared for everyone, and when I say meal, it's like a wedding reception.  The food is great.  So I had one of those maruchan noodle bowls.  I'm going to wal-mart this afternoon to get groceries.  Although money isn't a big issue right now, I forced a budget onto myself.  It averages to about $8.00 a day.  Granted, most of my meals come from the cafeteria here, so it's not a problem. The weekend hours for the cafe (pronounced kaf) are mediocre, but the rest of the week it is tolerable.  I am one of the few people I know who does not really complain about the food.  I eat well at home, but I have a lot more fruit and vegetables to choose from here.

I'm working on a setting for something.  It's hard to explain the theme.  I've seen a lot of multiverse themes, and I'd like to shoot for something along that blurry line. The problem is trying to come up with a source for super humans primarily but also other beings.  I'm not really into the whole vampire/werewolf genres.  The closest thing I've ever had to a furry in one of my tabletops is a half-dragon for a homebrew system I have lying around somewhere.  I think in the 60s it was all about radiation and mutation.  With my science background, I wonder what I could dredge up. I don't want to go with a giant portal.  I think the source will be a wide variety of sources, but I must resign to a shrug when asked how the people develop their abilities.  I'm not just talking about flight, death rays, or super-strength.

Comics aren't just Western anymore.  Creators have to take into account both sides when they want to build a foundation for stories to tell.  My module handled that pretty well I think, but players want to believe the surreal when it comes to telling stories about the characters they love.  Why should comics be any different?

I guess I'll link to my DA here.  Most of my art requires reference pictures. I can modify anything I can see, but I don't really have a space to store all that stuff.  I suppose I should just collect pictures on my computer and print them out as needed.  It sounds more viable than spending hundreds of dollars on magazines.  However, I do have my collection of comics.  That should help, too.
