im gonna friggin do it.
2 years ago
Ive thought about it for a long time, and so many people have been telling me that i need to just start a comic series. Well im going to, at least im going to try, i may need some help along the way since i dont really know much about comics and it may look a little weird or unorthadox.
But i do have a format i want to try out. So here are some options you guys can vote on i suppose.
I have this whole audio book i was going to write once called REACH: Beyond the Stars which is a scifi series about a human engineer from an asteroid belt colony being drafted into an interspecies colonization effort battling with his xenophobia and learning more about himself and the friends he is making on this planet they thought would be great, but had a failed terraforming.
Or...
Would you want something a little darker, a gritty fantasy with monsters and magic, i have a less developed fantasy setting that i was going ot use in a dnd campaign forever ago called Tales from Ellasia. its a gritty fantasy world with guns and magic and some magical technology thrown in there. The one i always like to show off is the Cursewarden and Plaguewardens which are a special caste of people from a secret governing body, wink wink nudge nudge not gonna tell you just in case i go with it. but here have some pictures

or......
Would you enjoy something more shortform, little stories from a variety of characters like my deku girl and her boytoy, Mortimer and varkas the eldritch monster who became boyfriends with the paladin that sealed him to a mortal body. Some of the goings on with my main character Frost, i know you guys see nothing ever with him almost. Moonpie is another cute character, or even.... the dreaded p o m. a pawree i made with one of my favorite friends (who you should go check out if you have not done so before they are great and i love them)

I dunno, if you feel like you can help me or are interested in seeing where this goes feel free to comment or send me a note. Ive got some fellow creators i can ask for advice but i like getting info from lots of sources. I like to think im approachable even though im, kind of scared to approach some of the people i want to in an online space, and im very open to imput if you guys have ideas.

The one thing I consistently see from comic creators is that it always turns out to be way more work than they initially anticipated. It's a definite challenge to rise to, but there's been a lot of comics that got laid to the side because it was too much for folks to keep up with on top of everything else.
Be prepared to give yourself a reasonable work schedule if you're going for a bigger project and don't worry if it's not a daily or even weekly update depending on how much work you're putting into each page. Those sorts of schedules either burn people out or have them working near full-time on it. Perfectionism will be your enemy here as well. Don't be afraid to simplify things in the background or even the foreground, especially for scenes that don't require it for context.
I do like the ideas you've got going though, REACH in particular!
