Is one comic really enough?

Sss · Post by **Sss** » Sun Aug 04, 2002 7:21 pm

I really enjoy doing my comic but it can only take me so far. I'm in the works for a new comic as I type this. I was just wondering how many other keenspacers do multiple comics and how they manage it.

Yeah, I'd like to do that too.

But first I have to be at least CLOSE to being as good a writer and artist as l0cke (for those who're familiar with his work).

I started doing a second comic with a friend of mine. My main comic is real chaotic, and I needed something with structure.

Unfortunately I underestimated the ammount of effort that structure requires, especially when it must be created with two people who only talk online. So version one of the comic has been consigned to eternity.

However, we decided to move it off the main site and give it its own space, so we could work at it more leasurely. I put into Keenspace for an account, figuring that would give us a month or two to hammer out new details. Then they put it up the next day. Damn Damn Damn.

So now Local Heroes is sort of sitting there blank whilst I cobble together an entirely new approach. But at least it's thinking about going somewhere again.

Adventures Anatomica, however, is heading towards getting cool. Or maybe passed by it and ventured way off into the realm of posseur.

I actually started out with ideas for three comics: Nobody Loves the Whiner. My first idea which resulted from a short talk with Amber inbetween classes at school.

Hardly Heroes: Stupid superheroes in high school. I've had this idea since my last year of high school. Adam and I thunk that one up in Calculus while we were bored off our . This one has been started repeatedly but I can never get past the first three pages (its comic book style).

Lastly was Freak Academy. An original idea that I, in turn, discovered was actually already done in X-Men. It was the plan for a high school for mutant children. I started it out as a free form roleplay (anyone who wants roleplay online, let me know!!) and then turned into something more. The comic sucked and I turned it into a story. I just haven't had tome to write in it.

Time is the mindkiller. If you have the time, do another comic, just to show off your skills. I wish I had the time and the skills.

I'm also planing on doing a mini-series comic, but that's not final yet.

I do two comics (links in the sig) and updated them both on a Monday-thru-Thursday schedule. If I ever am out of time, I will sacrifice strips from OmniCo to get enough time for my main comic, Sidwood. Both comics are simple gag-a-day strips, so it only takes about 30 minutes to an hour to draw, scan and color each one.

I've considered doing others. But they wouldn't be a serial strip, more short little graphic novels. D'you know, Celtic myth would make a wonderful manga? Almost did one of the Children of Lir. I'm working on the cover, but I think that that's all I'll do.

If I do a "serious comic", I am doing it on a once a week schedule. That gives me time to work the art, inks, and the colors. Coloring always takes the most time, by far. And since this will be somewhat dramatic...once-a-week makes it more episodic.

Well, I was thinking about doing a non-Keenspace, <a href="www.bobandgeorge.com">Bob and George<a/> fancomic. I'm not sure if I should go ahead with it, but I have pretty good ideas for it.

That's how my new comic is going to be, that is once I get the new keenspace site.

Yeah, until then I got "prodcution stills"

EDIT: Dammit, I stretched the Darien pic more than I thought

I suppose I could not relevantly say that I 'do' multiple comics, for I do not even have one comic up yet (I'm waiting for keenspace to get my site up

) But I do have more than one comic in the works and after I finish the one I am doing now I will start on the others

Sss · Post by **Sss** » Wed Aug 07, 2002 6:09 pm

Wow those pics look awesome!
Well since we're in the preview game here goes nothing!

Not only do we have newbie plugs but plugs for yet to exist comics!
