ANNOUNCEMENT: New Stories with Art
10 years ago
General
I finally have something new to discuss regarding my stories.
I've been battling a few demons lately, which has kept me on the sidelines. I would write stories, work on commissions and really detested what I was doing because I felt the quality wasn't there. While I can honestly say that I'm not out of the woods yet, I have successfully compartmentalized my personal issues, recreational and professional work. I did this by merely removing myself from situations where I am vulnerable. In other words, drama still exists, but I can handle it.
So here's how my future stories are going to play out. There are a few scenarios at play here. I will be commissioning artists to draw scenes from my upcoming stories or an artist can draw art, and will draft a story around it. My recent story about Star Fox was directly inspired by artwork drawn by ZuAgO. I generated a significant amount of buzz from the babyfur community regarding that story. I believe that readers will connect to my work better if there was art that, at least, offered a visualization of certain scenes from my work.
Ideally, I would love to make some money from doing this (since I'm still unemployed and need to pay bills), but I don't think that it's possible. However, by wrapping my stories around new or pre-existing art, there is always the option of turning my work into a graphic novel or a novel with illustrations. We'll see.
So artists, if you follow me and you're interested in this proposition, note me ASAP or tweet me. Let's get in touch. I have some great plans in store.
