How do you keep replying with exactly what I agree with as well, but put it in one line instead of a big paragraph

I have no idea

Because not everyone want to/can draw, some people said they'd do photography. I myself don't even know what I'm gonna do, drawing or photography, or both. xD

Some people lack artistic ability but excel in photography. It's an effort to make this more of a community project. You're going to be shifting style to style anyway.

Ah okay

Could you draw a scene, say JOS and Whatsername for Letterbomb, and have Jimmy in the back - a proper fully fledged person - but just make it clear that whatsername's focus is entirely on JOS and that Jimmy isn't really there to her? Because if we could work it that way that could be a solution to the whole split personality thing.

I'm pretty sure it can be done

If we go for the two people thing then what about having JOS doing the tender things all by himself and before he does anything mean, spiteful or stupid have him having a conversation with Jimmy?

Probably not helpful but just wanted to throw it out there

Yeah, I think that's a good idea. Maybe have Jimmy standing out of the eyesight of Whatsername as well, so that you can see that it's JOS who sees Jimmy, not Whatsername. Although at some point Whatsername would find out about St. Jimmy.

Every time I would sit down to reply to this I would get really brain blocked, stare at the monitor for 1-2 minutes, and then get up try to figure it out haha. So St Jimmy is basically serving as JOS' imaginary friend, correct? He is not going to interact with Whatsername or anybody else directly, but we will see him there exerting his influence of JOS and those two will interact and talk, right?

I think Give Me Novicaine is going to be a big free form drug trip where the two will have a lot of interaction.

[Punk-tastic32]

Oh shit. I just realized that this thread hasn't been coming up in my "Watched Topic" box. Can I still help out with this?

Pwetty Pwease!

Yeah, of course! I was wondering what happened to you actually.

OH ADD ME TO THE LIST!!!!!

I believe that is what we have finally decided that this is what we'll do

[JohannaRaeRamone.]

Done.

[Anko]

Done.

Yay!

[st.idiot]

first off i think that either one song should be either photgraphy or drawing/painting/skecthes (with the exception of j.o.s. (song) and homecoming. however i think that give me novacaine would be an amazing song to do like a 50/50 type of thing. just to like try and show the real trippiness to the whole thing

[JohannaRaeRamone.]

I'm not entirely sure if it matters whether or not we lump together phoyography and drawing sections. They're each going to have different styles regardless. In photography you could have two compleatly different people representing JOS, you know?

I can't wait for Give Me Novicaine, it's going to be pretty cool. I haven't decided what song I want to do yet, maybe that one.

in my point of view i feel like if we do the songs out of order it'll come together better despite the fact it's a story and it goes like from one song to the next as like chapters in a book

Whoah, what? You lost me there. So you want to mix the songs up? Or does this have to do with putting the photography and drawings togehter?

whoaaaa now i'm confused. lol what did you mean when you said "I haven't decided what song I want to do yet, maybe that one."

I think we're speaking two different languages today! I mean I haven't decided what section of song lyrics I would like to illustrate yet. Now what did you mean?

[st.idiot]

forget whatever i said then lol

[Punk-tastic32]

Hooray!

And thank you for noticing my absence. I feel loved

I can help occasionally with art stuff (I'm doing my final year of high school and my computer has a nasty habit of crashing)

heres my deviant art.

http://dream-differ.deviantart.com/contact me through there.

[FiaKels]

My reaction to seeing this idea:

I would love to help in some way, preferably with the storyboarding, if it's not too late.

Pwetty Pwease?

p.s. SCONES FTW

You're so psyched for GMN and I'd just have no idea what to do with it. You've now got me wondering what it will be like

[st.idiot]

so now that we have a simple backbone for pretty much everything (refer to page 8 and half of 9) where are we story wise

[JohannaRaeRamone.]

Well we need to kinda touch on what actually takes place in "St Jimmy", then just kinda elaborate on Whatsername's story and how the songs She's A Rebel-the end play out. Oh, and B-sides/outtakes.

Crap. We sounded so close to being finished until I explained that!

[Punk-tastic32]

Wow, I just read the plan for the whole album; I really love it.

I think I know how to add in Too Much Too Soon!

It will kinda like the epilogue to the whole story. JOS- or whatever his real name is, is now cleaned up, has a 9-5 job, and has a family. He misses the adventure that was his past.

So much of the song is spent on him, sitting on the edge of his bed, reflecting on his high points in the city (winning a gang fight, meeting SAR/EG/Whatsername, running from the cops with St. Jimmy, graffiting things, etc.) and thinking how "its better way back when" (see what I did there :eyebrow: I heard that line in the song while I typed that) and comparing it to his crumby life now.

Then his kid(s) run(s) and tackle him, and he realizes that the past is the past, and now he has a new adventure. It ends by him and his kids laughing and playing.

Kinda awkward to add into the story, since the current ending with Whatsername is so remarkably beautiful. But I really Too Much Too Soon.

[Anko]

I was thinking TMTS would fit in somewhere after Letterbomb,I can't really explain why,

but I feel like it sorta fits better there
