Out of Context Comics
6 years ago
Hello to everyone. My my, it certainly has been a while since I posted anything that actually mattered. I just wanted to tell you all about my new project.
Lately, I've been inspired and thought I'd try my hand at writing comics. I already have bought and read a couple books on the subject, so I'm not jumping in completely clueless. I eventually plan to write full blown comics, but that would be meaningless if I can't write a single page. That's where this comes in. Out of Context Comics. All it really entails, is writing the script of a page out of context from some longer narrative. Every page in a comic should give some form of incentive to keep reading. Even if I could draw the reader in with a solid page 1, the story is still doomed if it falls flat by page 5.
Bear in mind, these are only scripts. I have the artistic skill of a dead pheasant. I have no way of knowing if my ideas and writing translate well unless an artist actually draws the page. Still, I look forward to posting these and hope that anyone reading them can still visualize what I'm going for. I'll have my first script up soon.
Artist Section
Artists. Are you wanting to dabble in comics? Do you want to get some practice but are out of ideas? Are you thinking of taking commissions but have no idea what you might expect? Perhaps this project can lend a hand. Here's a few points so we are on the same page.
1. I'm not begging for art. I need to practice my writing. You want to practice your art. Let's do something mutually beneficial.
2. Should you decide to give it a shot, just credit me and link the script in the description. Send a link of your work in the comments of the script itself too. I'd love to see it. I'd be more than happy to repost your work on my profile as a signal boost, should you desire it.
3. All characters featured in my Out of Context scripts are basically placeholders. You are more than welcome to use your own characters or just make ones up. I am by no means asking you to specifically draw my sona or any of my friends. I'm keeping it as free form and generic as possible.
4. Should you for some strange reason want to include my sona, ask me in a note.
5. Have fun. Don't worry about it. I cannot stress that enough.
