Out with the New, in with the Old
11 years ago
I am going to be focusing more on comic like drawings from now on. I mean, sure, I will still draw a portrait or something like I usually do. However, I want to get back into drawing the stuff I used to draw. I want to create a cool world for my characters to inhabit. I am almost emulating that old 90's and 80's comic feel like you see in Record of Lodoss War, Shining Force, Drakuun/Outlanders/Caravan Kidd/, etc. The kind of fantasy world with technology, perhaps even some slight cyberpunk elements.
Of course, drawing a comic is very daunting, so I will most likely be doing very mini strips. Basically, it is just a few panels or couple of pages of whatever. It could be some characters randomly doing this, a villain doing that, and so on. This way, I can get a feel for the world and the characters. Then I can go from there and write in a huge world and some stories.
I miss the way old comics were: Cool artwork, worlds, how awesome the characters were and the character developments. The worlds may not always be super vast or super imaginative, but the adventure was thrilling and exciting. Characters really stood out, and the majority of them were memorable and lovable. Hell, even the villains were memorable. I wish to try and emulate these old comics, since they inspired me to draw in the first place. Recently, I was watching an old anime, and I swear this one chick you saw for only so many minutes, had more character and personality than most characters I have seen in recent animes and such.
Of course, my world will include all manner of species and such. Just like the Johji Manabe comics (Outlanders, etc) or the Shining Series did. I'm talking Anthro, elf, humans, half this and that, you name it. I remember drawing anthro characters before I even knew what "furry" was. I used to keep calling them "anthropomorphic characters" until one day the search engine showed "FURRY". Then I was like "o3o". Ha.
Anyways, just an update of where I am trying to go with my art. ^_^
