The rantings and musings of a comic book geek and film nerd who works in a store that sells stuff! Follow our hero as he tries to understand the world around him and the terrifying changes that come with the ever expanding universe we live in
Just finished working on issue #1 of my new projectone of my new projects. It's an adventure book featuring the Gaslamp brothers Erique and Gerome who run the Gaslamp creature & Apparition eradication service, essentially they are monster hunters who travel the globe fighting not only the things that go bump in the night but also the ones who go bump in the light as well.
My aim is to make it a fun, exciting adventure though a new old world, the comic is set during the industrial revolution but viewed though the goggles of steam punk. There will be more info later but for now I will leave you with issue one.
Wow... been a while since I posted here. hasn't been a One Page Comic for a while, naughty me! I have been working however. I've had a couple of new ideas this past week and by new ideas I mean new projects not just ideas for Honor Bound.
Feels pretty good, having ideas flowing again. I've never been what you would call prolific when it comes to being the ideas man, I'me usually the guy who sits worrying about one concept he had a year ago while everyone around him has been churning something new out each month/week/day...
Don't want to go into too much detail at the minute as to what I've got cooking because there isn't really anything to show at the minute but one is a quasi-autobiographical piece and the other is an adventure with monsters!
Oh before I forget there is a treatment up from ALMTalkies for the Girl in the Red Dress music video that I contributed too. you can hit it up here more details as soon as there is some!
Another one pager thanks to the guys from thought balloons for the idea, I'd love to tackle DD but never felt comfortable writing characters I love and I mean really love.
Was given Nightcrawler this week, to be honest I was and still am a little aprehenssive about working on characters I have and affinity for but Nightcrawler is what I was given so I thought "Have at 'em"
here we go, Nightcrawler!
Oh I must put out there I guess this is in current continuity so for those of you who know... you'll get it, everyone else... not so much
I spent last night re-formatting issue one of the comic, adding panels and cutting where needed. Issue one turned out to be a bit of a beast! seems I got a little carried away with it.
Spent at least four hours today re-formatting issues two and three and It would seem I hadn't done enough for those so have had to add and re-do some parts.
here is the result of my evening. I'm pretty amazed by this because I was in an awful mood and listening to music I shouldn't listen to when I'm in a funk so that fact that I got this done is amazing really!
I wasn't really happy with my previous Man-thing page so I have attempted to re-work it. I'm still not sure if I'm happy with this one, I'll wait a few days and let it sit before I read it again but here it is for you to try out.
So this weeks one pager was a bit of a curve ball. Here is what I came up with for possibly my favourite member of the current Thunderbolts team Man-thing
The best thing about this is that I am now one step closer to my giant sized Man-thing!
This is just a first draft, I plan on coming back and tweeking it if not out right re-writing it.
Week two of my ongoing writing exercise. This weeks one page comic features the Marvel comics villain The Hood! If you don't know who he is you can read up on him here there is also a speaking part for long time Spidey villain The Shocker too! Just some of the crazy fun I have sat behind my computer!
i finished issue 6 of the comic today... took some doing, I re-wrote it (before I had finished it which is something I never do!) a couple of times because I didn't like where it was going.
It is now completed however and about damn time cause I haven't worked on it for a few days... fell pretty bad about that. Gonna let it sit for a while then move on to 7.
Want to have two full stories before I start looking for artists
Time for a change, not much of change but there will be in the future.
Basically, I am trying something new. Its a weekly writing project that I am undertaking, I doubt anything will come of it other than it will give me something to write (cause practice makes perfect) and will give me a break from the comic or whatever ongoing project I'm working on. I have taken the idea from the guys over at Thoughtballoons (who were nice enough to let me post stuff there but I'd feel guilty if I used their blog for my own means so I'll do most of my work here)
Each week they choose a new character and have seven days to write a one paged comic, it can only be one page (that is completed comic not script, just look at anything Alan Moore has ever done and you'll know what I mean) I won't be picking the characters myself, I'm asking friends to throw up suggestions each week, and this is the first.
One page, two Batgirls, three stars (ok that might be over selling it)
