ABOUT HOLYJUNKIE
Name: Karl Garneau
Status: Just a dude with a computer and an affinity for gaming. A very strange dude when you think about it. Even I don’t even know myself that well.
What I do know is that I enjoy making things by myself by my own means, and usually for myself and without any outside distractions that tend to get in my way. Exceptions include comics such as DEAD, random Photoshopped stuff, and a future graphic novel I have plans to create and publish. Otherwise, I’m just one of those guys who takes everything as it comes.
I at first started off in the Halo Community as a prominent member of the Digitalph33r Forums. When the forums turned to the 4Chan wannabe it is today (although I recently heard from the admin, whom I still have contact with, that the stupidity will be cleaned up for the change in sometime later)… well, I left. I mindlessly wandered throughout Bungie.net and discovered Reclaimer. I started DEAD a few days after the Legendary Map Pack came out, but I didn’t really finish it until mid-way through Chapter 3. At that time, it was utter crap, compared to the way it looks today.
I read Reclaimer and occasionally sent some cool stuff to Jim, and then I heard about Halo3Webcomics while it was still in the making. If I were anyone with sense, I offered to put DEAD in it.
Here’s the problem: DEAD as it was sucked tremendously. I re-made the entire thing within a manner of weeks before Halo3Webcomics was finally complete. Even with the re-make-ness, I don’t find DEAD to be my favorite H3W works. My future comics will be better. Future projects always will be better in some way.
I tend to be more patient than imaginable. The only time when I’m not patient is when something requiring my attention is obviously trivial and stupid. In which I tend to act sarcastically, type in all caps, or type in 1337-speak, something I would otherwise gut myself with a cleaver if I actually typed like that and meant it.
Of course, my patience is improving. I take Kung Fu three times a week, and I never thought I’d feel healthier. All I need to do now is keep eating habits to anything other than “just chocolate”. Okay, sure. Chocolate tastes good, but try taking a whole-wheat tortilla, put on some cheddar, some toasted ham, a good load of coleslaw, and dump ranch dressing all over it. Wrap it up and take a bite. You won’t regret it… Unless you’re allergic to one or more of the things I said there.
In case you haven’t noticed, I tend to type the same way I talk: Randomly. You’ll probably notice the same if you read my blog Jakya Studios.
Jakya Studios is what I have called myself every time I try to make multimedia-type things, or movies. It’s run by two guys: Myself (HolyJunkie) and some dude who lives in my basement named “Jakob”
For those who are curious, I like the name Jakob, so I used it for many of my characters, including the main character of a graphic novel I dream to write.
