Adventures in storytelling

Chapter:

In between all my varying comic projects and work, I’ve been trying to get back into my prose-writing groove. While I still love writing my post-cyberpunk crime story whenever I can, I also dashed down something quickly just to capture an idea. I have an idea for writing a story about modern fae, tying it in with allegories about the creative life. Somebody at the writing group recently read out a story that she had written in the second-person, and it was fantastically engaging; the thing with first and third person is that you are essentially being told about another person. With second-person, you are being told about YOU, as if your senses are reporting back to your brain. read more

New medium, new art!

Hullo everyone!

It’s a bit late, so I’ll only put up a little post today (I’ve been reformatting a script for submission; that and giving myself the fear about trying to break into the industry), and I promised you an experimental piece last week, so here are the results!

This is white gel pen on black foamboard. There’s also some red and purple gel pen, but they didn’t show up at all on the black background so I tried to hue the white ink with them; It didn’t turn out so great. read more

A post of no real consequence

Hola amigos!

I do try and make these posts as informative or thought-provoking as possible (when they don’t just spiral into rants about whatever I’m currently annoyed at), but this time round I thought I’d just muse on stuff that has entertained me this week!

I think I’ve discovered a new medium that I desperately want to explore. Black foamboard, meet white gel pen and acrylic pen. IT IS SO SATISFYING TO DRAW ON. With the gel pen, you can get some really nice sketch effects, while the acrylic pen gives a mighty, well-defined and bold stroke useful for doing thick outlining. Plus, the starkness of the white on the black background really helps what you’ve drawn stand out; because people are so used to black on white for sketches, it really draws attention when you invert that. read more

Y’know what? I do feel better.

I’ve had the server up for just under a week, now, and y’know what? I’m glad I moved hosts. It’s faster, it gives me more for my money, it gives me more control over the site, and it no longer goes down for an hour every day.

It’s not just beneficial for you guys reading the comic; It’s a massive burden off my shoulders as well. Because I no longer worry about the actual functions of the site, I can focus my efforts on writing the next storyline, on drawing the next page, on finishing the other work I’ve got going on. It’s amazing how much more positive I feel about creating and creativity; to be honest, before I pushed myself to migrate the site I was having a serious think about what I was doing with my life. Was it really worth chasing a creative dream when I could invest that time in, say, climbing the career ladder, finding a partner, raising a family? read more

Congratulations! If you are reading this, the nameservers have correctly propagated to your particular corner of the world, and you will be experiencing the shiny new server, with better reliability, better performance, and better support! If you’re not reading this, well… You’re missing out! 😛

Let me know if you spot anything that’s not right, and I’ll rectify it. The site is aaaalmost back to the way it was, but it’s missing a bit or two here and there. It’ll get there! read more
