The Lost and Found: Judgment

Judgment by Chessa Peak

JudgementI find myself spinning the concept of “Judgment” in my head… this is how I relate to the concept.
As humans we are physiologically incapable of not passing judgment. This is how we have adapted and survived as a species. Eat this plant versus the plant that killed my friend Ug. Cross the road or wait. Which characters do I associate with best in my social interactions. Personally, I tried to live without judgment.

That is partially where my integrity broke down. I was feed the mindset that being judgmental meant I was a bad person. I find that if I don’t critically assess the people and situations I place Judgementmyself in, I land myself in a hole before I know I’ve stepped in it. I believe this be because my spirit is so big and powerful that I live that fast intrensically.

I don’t need drugs, alcohol, or men to contribute to this accelerated rate of life. I do this naturally. It’s my spirit. So for me, the ability to cast proper and healthy judgment for what I find acceptable or not has become a crucial survival skill and has helped me become responsible towards my personal evolution. I hope this finds you well. Cheers loves!

Weirdly’s World: Fun Violence

An example is being made of some of the towns people by way of having their faces removed. If I was drawing something more realistic I wouldn’t go this route. The drawing would be to horrific and gory. But since I was working in a more cartoony style I thought I could get away with it . The guy in this page looks more like a mexican sugar skull so not so bad.

This does bring up the issue of violence for entertainment. I have to admit I do find comic book and movie violence fun. Though movie carnage can not sit so well with me because of the level of realism they can achieve. Some movie violence I wish I could unsee. Like the ear cutting off scene in RESERVOIR DOGS. I won’t see that movie again because of that scene. I don’t have a comic book equivalent of that. An evil character made CAT WOMAN‘s sister eat her husbands eyeballs but that didn’t feel as disturbing. For some reason comic books have a softer effect on me as far as violence goes.

If violence is well placed and moves the story along I think it’s ok. And yes if it demonstrates superhuman powers it is sooooo much fun! I think there are limits to the levels of violence shown corresponding with who your audience is. As a storyteller you definitely have a responsibility there.
