Wow...I come to terms that it's no 'in the month' project and that it takes some damn dedication to nurture it to a big growing and breathing world. So I'm going to have to hemorrhage what I have on here and on a deviant community soon. As I worked on the project, I saw that I've been spending so much time on it, that it's expanding into two notebooks. If I ever finish however would be overwhelming to compile them into digital format. This is a problem, because I would just be repeating notes than making progress. So it may means that I'm going to be forced to work on it exclusively on digital. This is a double edge sword for me. While it's easy for me to cut, paste, add, and grow my content, I found my freedom easiest on traditional paper, and son, I don't have a good quality camera or scanner to make that stuff pretty.
It doesn't mean I will totally quit doing things traditionally (when you're dealing with a fire breathing tablet at the summer time, would you try to avoid it?) I had always wanted to work with color pencils, and watercolor markers to create things. But that's going to be a good while til I have better equipment. But in the meantime, it may force me to finally use my web-space to upload these content-oooh...right. By the way, Dimarsh isn't so 'safe for work'. So I may end up switching services that allow me to have more sharing freedom. I have an audacious, free thinking mentality so I don't want services to hold me back on things that they deem questionable just for expression myself.
ANYWAYS, the 'short' comic story I planned to put into the Dimarsh Magazine have grown into a freaken graphic novel. I'm not kidding. There's some stories you can't summarize in just a few pages. And I have outline many...MANY stories expanding eras and generations. And these have significant differences because in different times, different ideals, tech and beliefs are form, not to mention evolution/adaptations that happens during the course of the stories. I wonder if some story writers have this problem?
But it's a beautiful thing!! I haven't felt so focus on building a world this colorful, so rich, and so deep! I'm almost want to make everything perfect! It's a good mindset, but not logically productive as it takes several drafts and improvement throughout it's lifetime. So the world will start imperfect...and slowly build into an optimized and believable world.
All it takes is a daring step into the unknown..
