New Ideas For The Long Run

Fri Nov 20, 2009, 2:23 AM

New Ideas For The Long Run



I've been having an idea. A random, outrageous idea. A fantastically big and phenomenal idea. An idea so big it's making me type 'i' instead of 'a'. Cue drum roll.

...

I've been thinking about doing a comic. Not just any comic mind you. Not those four-panel sketches that I do a lot lately, or a one-page comic. I mean a proper comic, probably A4/A3, with awesomeness, cover pages and whatnot. Something that may (or may not) be published.

Most likely a web-comic.

Now here's the first snag; I don't know if I can actually dedicate myself like that to make a comic page EVERYDAY (or at the very least one every few days). Not many people know this, but my attention span ranges from a dog to a goldfish. And I don't know if goldfishes actually concentrate on something during the three-second memory span. Sticking to something like this calls for a really big commitment and time, so I'm sure if I'm up to it, given that nowadays my attention span is nearing one of the goldfish.

Incoming second snag; I can't decide what kind of comic to start on. I mean, eventually I'll start a few along the way, but the first is always the hardest (this coming from someone who sucks at starting anything at all, apart from her iPod and laptop). I do have a few ideas on what I want to do, but that's it. A few sub-ideas from the main idea, and I can't decide which one. I'd do a poll about it, but speaking as one who doesn't like to do those infernally annoying polls, I won't make one.

Last final snag; well, maybe not much of a snag, but it does have to with collaboration and that may lead at some point to bad communication at some point and then there will be some conflict of sorts and then nothing will happen to my idea, except for it to stay an idea without action... Anyway, back on topic, I would obviously need to make a website for the supposedly new comic idea. But I have absolutely no knowledge on the internet language (aka html something or other) so that's a big bummer for me. Now, I do have a lot of friends who know the html stuff. Most likely I'll ask Kronos for help, but she's usually busy as she's an artist on Verpets (join it). AATTKC knows some as well, but right now he's been really depressed, so I'm not sure how I can get around asking him.

So yeah, that's just the MOST IMPORTANT ROADBLOCKS THAT I NEED TO HEAVE MY ASS OVER. Oh, and if your attention span hasn't reached its limit, here are a couple of the comic ideas;

1) Aposterra
Set in post-apocalyptic times, a soldier dedicates his life to protecting a girl who claims to be part of the famous apocalyptic demon and has her other half running around searching to kill her.

2) Sobapets: Whoul Time
What would you do if you had a Whoul? Really? How about four? Can you handle that?

For Aposterra, I actually did figure sketches in my black book (ooooo black book *snigger*). Only one person has looked through it :P technically it's a work in progress kind of thing.

For the Whoul Time idea, I'm doubtful on that. I don't know how to draw something that looks remotely like a bird, let alone make a comic full of Whouls.

(If you don't play Sobapets, a Whoul is sorta like a owl/hawk bird that comes in four colors. Get yours today.)
