:pointr:---------------------------------------------------------:pointl:


Hedone High


What is Hedone High?
Hedone High is an original universe/storyline using my characters A.E.D and Izm, but in much different roles to their Invader Zim fancharacter counterparts.

In the HH universe, A.E.D and Izm are teenage boys who attend Hedone High, boarding school for boys. A.E.D is a not-so-caring-about-laws prefect whilst Izm is more along the lines of a troublemaking student that just happens to dabble in schoolyard black-marketeering, drug running and a little bit of blackmail on the side.

They're school is basically a normal one but with all the odd/bad real life quirks more pronounced, such as drug dealing, computer hacking, sexual tension etc.


How to pronounce?
A.E.D = ay ee dee (yes, just say the letters)

Izm = izm (rhymes with ' prism' )

Hedone = hee don

Rire = rye er (rhymes with 'fire' )

Wei Ren = way ren

Zeke = zeek

Nurse Isla = nurse eye-lah


What are Hedone HighJinks?
Hedone HighJinks (aka HHJ) are oneshot comic strips dealing with the boys' strange relationship. They're one shot because 1) at the moment i don't have an epic storyline for them, 2) one shots are easier to draw and 3) i'm lazy.

At the moment there are thirteen HHJ strips.

:new:


Profiles of A.E.D and Izm



Random survey/s
- OC Survey


Izm wears a swastika, is he a Nazi? :new:
You would not believe the amount of times i've been asked this question lol :XD: But no, no he is not a Nazi, he just likes the design :P. In fact if you want to be technical the swastika symbol existed in culture and society long before Hitler propagated it as his party symbol (you can read all about it here on Wikipedia --> [link]).

And whilst yes i realise that he is essentially wearing the Nazi flag on his arm, it is purely design aesthetics. Black white and red - those are his colours after all. I really can't help it that Hitler had such good design sense XP.


"Official" fonts (ie: fonts i keep using in relation to HH)
- Orator Std
- You are loved


And a stamp if you happen to be a fan XD




IZ Fancharacters


Who are they?
Most of you should already know about Demon!A.E.D and Irken!IZM by now ;) Particularly A.E.D because i draw him more then IZM. Again, despite the names and looks these guys have no story relation with the Hedone Highers.


Comprehensive flash profile (for A.E.D)



Journal profiles
- A.E.D's profile
- IZM's profile
(These are a little out of date, especially Izm's, whose history has changed a bit)


And a stamp if you're a fan of A.E.D XD




Art/DeviantART/Journal


Do you take requests?
Nope, sorry. I tried one time and failed lol
Although sometimes i will have contests or tell people i'm taking a certain amount of requests, so if you can win one or manage to be in the right place at the right time you might get one


How about art trades?
I only really do these with my friends, or people who i feel like doing an art trade with at the time =)

If you're on this list then if you asked i would do an art trade with you no worries:

:iconlocks-gurl: :iconkamaniki: :icongatobob: :icondarkjak: :iconheimdallctr: :iconiontoon: :iconpunchbagbobsrevenge:

More added when i remember ^^


Commissions?
Not yet, i have no paypal or any sense of how this works lol
Plus i dont want to get ripped off or anything


Why won't you draw anything for me?
I draw giftart for people when i actually feel like drawing stuff for them. If you ask me to draw you something out of the blue i'll most likely not do it, just to piss you off. :XD:

Especially if i don't really know you.

Although sometimes people who i know come to my page a bit, or who have interesting characters might get lucky :lol:


Can I draw your characters?
Yeah sure, if you give me proper credit and stuff. I love fanart! =D
Just dont try and make them out to be your own characters. I'll be upset :<


Can I draw/write slash of your characters?:new:
:shrug: Eh i really don't mind. Just try and keep them (somewhat) in character ok?


Say I drew/wrote/made you fanart...
Note me! You do not know how important the noting process is, especially if i don't watch you (how else will i know you've drawn me fanart? Eh? EH?). All fanart will be put into FANART'ED to be admired =)

Remember!


Can I roleplay your characters?

:iconneverplz::iconsays2plz::iconohnoshedidntplz:

I'm sorry, but the thought of anyone doing that is way too weird. I dunno about you guys (although i'm pretty sure you'd feel the same way), but i wouldn't want to see my characters being randomly RP'd in some...random RP :P


How do I get featured in FEATURED ARTISTS?
I pick you (so dont ask). It's kinda random, i feature anyone and everyone who i think need more love. Simple, yes?


What do you use to make your art?
I lineart in Flash (vector program, nice lines XD) and then colour in Photoshop 7.0
Or I do animations in Flash. Sometimes i draw on paper but this doesnt happen so often now...
OH YEAH. Wacom tablets are my friend :heart:


Do you use references?
Absolutely! Whenever i need them, I'll use myself or get an idea from a "How to draw" book (see! How to draws are useful for something! =O ) Also the Resources section of DA is very handy dandy for things like poses, backgrounds, tutorials and application brushes. =)


Can you teach me to use Flash?
Not really. Why? Because i don't really know how to use it myself :lol:
I can help you with really basic stuff though, but i'm not going to hold your hand and show you how to use every little thing, thats what the F1 button is for. And Google.


Whatever happened to that DELUSIONS comic you were working on?
It kinda...died. :XD: There'll be no more new pages, sorry you guys ^^;
Not like i got very far with it in the first place. It only had, what? two pages.


Are you ever going to continue your IZ snafu-comic?
What snafu-comic? You're probably looking for :iconkrusnik007:


Can I watch you?
Dude, you guys don't even have to ask :XD: It's not like i'm gonna say "NO YOU CANTS I HATEZORZ U D=< ".


My name is written in red on your journal! Why?
It's my hit list of people i'm going to kidnap and torture :stab:
Lol, ok joking aside, red is just the colour of my visited links. =)


What is "Excuse me whilst I rape your childhood" >___0?
Lawl they are products of boredom and/or lack of sleep. Basically i take screenshots from a particular cartoon, usually in the exact same order they occurred (at the moment i'm killing Angry Beavers :XD:) and then put some totally out of context dialogue in.

Then i share them with you unlucky people via my journals :giggle:

If you'd like to burn your eyes here are the journals:

:bulletred: Excuse me whilst I rape your childhood ^__^
:bulletred: Excuse me whilst I rape your childhood *SEQUEL*
:bulletred: Excuse me whilst I rape your childhood #3
:bulletred: Excuse me whilst I rape your childhood #4



Copyrights




Can I draw your characters and use them for my own monetary gain?
What are you, stupid?


Can I use any of your pictures for my own monetary gain?
See above answer.


I'd like to use one of your pictures as a pose reference...
That's ok, as long as you just ask me first. I'll usually say yes. And you also have to provide a link back to me and the original drawing where you got the pose from, it's common courtesy no? =)


Can I use any of your pictures for Myspace layouts, web graphics etc?
NO. DO NOT WANT. :noes: See, i like to keep tabs on all my pics and i'd prefer if they werent used willy nilly all over the net. Especially because i would have no clue whether anyone is claiming them as their own or not. The only exception is is if you actually get permission from me.



Me!

:iconz-a-d-r:


How do you pronounce your screen name?
DARKS


Do you Role Play?
No, I'm not very good at it :XD:


Do you have MSN?
Yes...sorta...not really lol. I have this crappy old version which is crappy and i'm not exactly sure how it works, to be honest :XD: (plus i'm pretty sure i deleted it)


Ok, how about AIM, YIM etc?
Nope. I'm not a very talkative person :]

(By now i bet all of you are thinking "wtf Darqx is the most boring person in the world" :lol:)


Hi! ^_^
Hello to you too =)
(yes people do send me messages along these lines)


Talk to me I'm bored
Only if I'm not busy and/or have a general idea of who you are. You'll find me on DA most of the time haha

I've always wanted to make my own FAQ, but I'm not popular enough, yet. It's a goal to have at least five people that lurve me on here (meaning they'll comment on my crap) JUST so I can make an FAQ xD I'm such a dork.

I adore Flash for the vectory lines <3 I used it when I still had a mouse, because it made it look like I had a wacom. Now I still use it with my wacom. It's so sexy <3

------------------->

Hey Norb and Dag let's dance

This shows that I procrastinate too much. Made out of at least 50+ screenshots put back together in Flash.


------------------->

With a downwind blast from his doughy ass,
Like a lance of fire he shot up the mast.
As he mumbled blasphemous epitaphs,
"I am the sailor."
And the captain cried with a mighty heave-ho
"Enemy sighted on the starboard bow.
Load your cannons, let 'em go.
For God is on our side, boys."

In the dust and sand of a foreign land.
With hands afire he buried his friend.
He beat his brow and cursing foul he said:
"I am the soldier"
And the private laughed as he reached the bluff,
His gun barrel smoking, enough's enough.
We've done more damage than old Macduff!
And God is full of pride, boys.

He flew through the flak on the first attack,
The bomb bay open on a missiles back.
Here's the payload, he crudely spat,
"I am the airman."
And the General sighed "This is our last stand,
Let every man say 'Amen',
For we'll not see daylight again.
And tonight we'll meet our God, boys."

Well the airman plunged into the pine,
And the sailor drowned in the briny brine,
And the soldier in haste put his foot on a mine...

And it comes to all in time, boys.
For on the day they died, boys,
God was on the other side, boys
