New story (maybe) & thoughts

So recently I've been drawing and sketching a bit more, mainly because for some reason inspiration hit and drawing human figures actually got easy! My favorite people to draw end up being anyone in some sort of gear/equipment for the military since its a good mix of bulky shapes and gloves plus more smooth or visible human features.

While doing this though, specifically on the bus, I thought how neat it would be to EXPLORE the lives of these people. I mean the military has been around for centuries and its honestly more of a 'business' that nations are built and destroyed on. Exploring the lives of people at the lower end of the spectrum, your average rifleman who joined up, and the people at the opposite end, congressional or other higher ups, could make for an interesting picture and compelling story.

What I think would MAKE the story compelling would be looking at what its actually like to be in the world/business of 'People Poaching' (current name of the story as of posting) and how, especially for lower enlisted, no ones necessarily evil but ends up in a line of work that brings death. The affect that has on the perception, morals, and being of a person is something that I don't think a lotta people think of, nothings exactly black and white. The idea stills needs some ironing out but so far I think it shows some promise!

Other than the story idea, life's been alright! I got my first job at Beef O' Brady's and things in general are looking up (ESPECIALLY when it comes to buying a nice mp3, cassette, or cd player to celebrate my first paycheck lol). The only thing throwing a wrench in it is the feeling I'm just a little off you know? I try not to be too critical of others or anything but I felt like I HAVE and that kind of leaves me with the feeling I'm being a dick. I really only get it from family but maybe I'm being rude and running my mouth in school?

I dunno, I just don't wanna make anyone feel bad or think I'm a douche and in worrying about it I think I've been a little in my own head recently. Maybe doing some sort of People Poaching web comic will help!
