I was making fun of a friend of mine a while back who said she was addicted to Facebook. Well I thought that was the dumbest thing ever!! There's noting on facebook to be addicted to, unless you like those stupid games and facebook drama.
Well... I tried to stay off DA for a week and couldn't do it at all. I got on there every single DAY!! I'm a DA junkie...

A Pinky Promise editorial
Hello, I’m the Phantom Scrippler, the writer of Pinky Promise Comic. The New Year has just started and things have been moving along steadily here. We managed to get an actual strip done, made several new characters, and have laid down a workable outline for how we would like the plot to go. Not bad for a part time effort on a non paying hobby. However, there has been one little thing that has been bothering me lately. So…..
*Drags out Soapbox and steps atop it.*
There has been a large increase in people complaining about a few of the characters that have been introduced lately. Mostly these individuals are objecting to Roxie and her daughter, Hilde, and to some degree, April as well. They claim that these women are stereotypical and bad for the image of women, due to the fact that they are manipulative of men, or that they are promiscuous, or buy into existing stereotypes, such as brain dead bimbos who are promiscuous. First off, I would like to point out that these are fictional characters, they are not real. You cannot go down the street and run into a anthropomorphic female bovine, let alone Roxie. Secondly, I and my artist partner are trying to write an entertaining story. Now while there is a great deal of sexual content, I still am attempting to keep some form of actual life in these stories, just ask GB, we’ve debated some pretty weird, ‘In this world how does etiquette deal with…’ ideas in an attempt to make things mesh, from the whole, ‘Cat and dog have a kid, what is it?’ to ‘What is the proper decorum for tails?’ to ‘Do Bovine’s eat hamburgers?’. The reason that these characters exist, is because they are, baring an increased libido, since it is a sex comic, like real people. You don’t like everyone; there are people out in the world right now who are just like all these characters. We have dominatrix’s, submissive, people with sexual addiction, drug addiction, normal people trying to rebuild their lives after divorces, deaths of family members, people going to college, programming computers, teaching classes, and yes, cheating on their husbands, and wives. We have strippers, who are trying to raise their daughters by whatever means they can, including leeching off of Sugar-daddies, and girls who are not the brightest bulbs in the bunch. I find it odd that no one has complained that Cissy, who is a Submissive, willingly allows herself to be ‘owned’ by men and obey their every command, and there has never been any comment about this, but if April uses her large breasts to get a free cab ride, or meal then immediately she’s harmful to the cause of women.
All the girls here that have been created by the joint effort of GB and myself, which is pretty much most of them, save the early handful, are based on people I’ve known. Sorry to say, but, in real life, women use their bodies to get what they want! I’m not condoning it, I’m not saying its right, I’m only making my world as real as I can, given the confines of our plot choices. I’ve known women who will use a tight, low cut shirt, or a miniskirt, as a tool in their arsenal. At where I work, female sales reps are constantly trying to close the deal by wearing stuff that I’ve see streetwalkers wear. They do it because it works. It happens. Some of you think that Roxie is horrible because of how she treats Richard. Newsflash, this happens all the time people! Women cheat on their husbands, and husbands cheat on their wives. We have both in our world, Roxie and Beth, Linda’s partner in business, got divorced because her husband cheated on her. And not with Roxie, Beth used to live in some completely different city. Hilde is based on a real girl, who was just like her in my school, and she was a sweetheart, and anyone, including me, was willing to beat the crap out of any guy who treated her wrong, because she was so sweet. The point I’m trying to make, is that these stories are supposed to be real, that’s what is supposed to make them entertaining. If you don’t like a character, that’s your right, you don’t have to read about them if you don’t want to, but don’t tell me that they are tearing down the dignity of woman kind by their existence. Dignity is where you find it. It takes a great deal of dignity to perform as an exotic dancer, day in and out. Especially when you are trying to support a child. If a woman wishes to remove her clothing in artistic dance, it is wrong to tell her that she is demeaning herself by doing it if she does not feel that way. I respect all exotic dancers when I have seen them, and known several as friends. If men don’t respect their art, then they are in the wrong, but it doesn’t demean women to perform well in their chosen occupation. If they don’t wish to do that for a living, I fully support helping them leave the lifestyle, and have to those friends who wished it.
Anyway, I’m done ranting, and hope you all join us for a new year that will hopefully increase our bringing out Pinky Promise to you. Thank you.
One last thing, to the few who have asked. Damien does not know that Roxie is married.
(SPOILER ALERT)
When he finds out, he will not continue the relationship, and will suffer from a very guilty conscience about it. So, don’t hate the big guy, okay?
Sincerely,
the Phantom Scrippler

Long Time, No Rant...
My buddy Darrell San said I need to update my blog, so...
Well, my computer is still technically malfunctioning, but I finally made the push to start back working on it. I can do digital coloring in Photoshop but not as well or as easy as before. I've got new art on my web galleries except on GraphicBrat.com. That's where the malfunction kicks back in to that fact that not all my programs work. I'm lucky that Photoshop still functions for the most part.
I've got so much backed up art waiting to be colored on top of the stuff I'm doing recently. I've got a bunch of Uber Boobers with a couple of fun ones like Uber Boober Olive Oil and Cathy... yeah, Cathy from the daily comics. I did it in honor of her retirement, I'm a long time fan.
Finally got the comic Pinky Promise kinda running. I need to keep it up which will be the hard part. But my buddy Darrell who is the creator of the Blonde Marvel cranks out a load of pages a month, that's something I need to shoot for.
Anyways, I got that Uber Boober Nekko Angel Lorelei finished for MDetecor5 as a favor I owe him. Turned out pretty good. Here's a sample.

Computer Still Down...
For those of you who haven't gone to my DA page in a while, I'll bring you up to speed.
Due to an old, cheap, crappy surge protector my computer was hit by a power spike and wiped out Windows XP along with a great deal of my other operator systems. My programs are all it tract thank God but most will not function and those that do will not operate properly. So no scanning or coloring until I can buy a copy of Windows XP for my machine.
I've been drawing alot so that's some good news. Got an Uber Boober on the way for MDetecor5 as a favor I owe him. I've got teenage Roxie which will be an Fur Affinity exclusive since she will be under age or close to; too much so to post on DA. Teen Roxie will be fun, since she'll show a little background on why she is such a huge slut. And I've gotten a jump start on the Fumie 4th of July pic. It's gonna be real nice.
I'll let everyone know when things are back up and rolling.

I noticed something...
My Uber Boober art is not as popular as it was before. My Uber Boober Sorceress pic has barely quacked a 1000 views, when back in the day any uber boober pic would easily hit 3000 to 4000 views and that would be the less known characters or original characters. One of the last uber I did was one of Gerenne from Ill Will Press, I ecpected that one to be a huge hit but it I got only have the reponcses I thought it would. Even thought Ill Will Press creator showed some love on his blog, it still didn't get the views. I'm wondering why the lost interest in my uber boobers. I do need to work on my anatomy, the uber girls I've done latey are kinda short and stocky, just tits and hips. That use to be enough but I guess I need to work on it.

Long time, no rant!
I haven't been keeping up with my blog! Bad GraphicBrat, Bad!! The last time I was bitchin bout anything was in Oct '09 and about keepin up my website graphicbrat.com; hard to believe people still go there even though I haven't updated it in months, even after my last blog. I could lay on lame excuses bout depression and selfloathing and what not, but nobody what to hear that shit. If you're like me, you just want to see more boobies and 'other' art. The artist can cry in his beer on his own time, just keep the titties rollin'!! AMEN TO THAT BROTHERS!! (and any sisters that may be out there).
Truth is I've been drawing quite a bit, just haven't been coloring as much. I've got at least 6 pictures in back logged waiting to be colored and 2 waiting to be finished color. I don't like posting black and white art cause no one really gives a fuck and let's be honest, it's all about your opinions stroking my ego. I've been working, just ain't got nothing to show. I hate making my normal false promises about new work but I will humbly ask you to keep an eye out. I am making a big push here to get new art for you guys.
Keep the faith, end of rant.

GRAPHICBRAT.COM!!
I finally got around to making some much needed changes to my web site that I kept putting off. Most of the changes are with the gallery, breaking it down so the viewers can go right to what they want to see. Now all I need is new exclusive art for my web site, right now it's everything that I got on DA or other sites. They're a couple of unpublished commission pic that you may not have seen, depending on if the client posted them himself. A lot of the exclusive art will be b&w sketches and such which don't get love on DA (or at least mine don't) so I'll save them for my site. I start with Uber Boobers and do some Fumie pics and bring in others as I go.
What I want is to do an online Fumie comic. Got lots of great stories and cool character put together with my writer, 'The Shadow Scribbler'. I need to check in with some buddies of mine who already have web comics and see what is needed technically speaking. My site is not as cool as I would like it to be but web site design was never my strong point. Despite the weak design and old art, I'm still getting about the same view of views at graphicbrat.com as I am on devaintART. And things are getting better everyday so for now I'm happy.
