To help start a conversation, here are some ideas I have for
moving CC to the next level.
Begin Akrivis: Recovery.
"In an instant, Benitt lost everything: his home, his
identity, and very nearly his life. Though his body is beyond repair,
experiemental technology has given him the chance to start over from scratch. His
recovery is both hastened and complicated when he meets a fellow patient, a
beautiful but disturbed little girl haunted by the silent screams of
phantoms..."
Akrivis, in its
many forms, has been a pet project of mine for years. While I'm hesitant to
start until my artistic and literary skills reach an impossible level of
perfection, I'm dying to get this story started. Depending on its outcome, this
will be either be an extended stand-alone sci-fi/horror/drama comic, or it will
become a prologue to a project much greater in scale.
Complete Shurrock and Awtson and the Great Flamingo
Caper.
This will be a children's picture book based on two fun things:
an obscure news report I read once about some kids flinching flamingoes, and a
personal adoration of Sherlock Holmes stories. Hopefully I'll get around to
this project before my cousins have moved on to chapter books.
Make Catholic School Dropout and/or Good Luck Girl and Bad Luck Boy an ongoing
comic series.
Make a series of
detailed ink drawings of various places throughout the Pacific Northwest.
Possibly to sell in local shops or galleries, or to offer as
prints online.
Make more original character
art.
Again, possibly to sell in local shops or galleries, or to offer
as prints online.
Offer commissions.
Request custom-made art made just for you.
The downside is I've never done commissions before, so it
could take me some practice to learn the ropes. The upside is I'm willing to
create anything you want, for free, so I can gain valuable experience and example
work. You get the original art, signed or with an added message if you like,
and a watermarked copy will be used to promote future commissions. Everyone
wins.
If you're at all interested, send me a message (see list
above) and I'll respond as soon as possible.
The first idea sounds fairly interesting. I'd say give it a shot if you don't feel your up to it you can practice your art and story telling with the other ideas until it's gotten to a point where your ready to try again.
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting. Just knowing someone is reading makes a world of difference!
DeleteI think I will give Akrivis a shot. If I just take it one page at a time, maybe it'll start to take off.
