peace out. dont be a stranger ( even tho we all are )

[vfinnigan]

Welcome! I'm doing all right. I also have simple goals. My comics are benefits, so my goal here is to raise ink to cover expenses and donate generous proceeds to charity.

I've been writing traditional comics for ten years, lettering for almost three years, and I do a little touch up art now and then. I also work with an artist who usually does manga, so if you have questions, ask away. If I don't know the answers, I probably know someone who does.

Do you have a comic up here yet?

Here are mine.

I do however offer a series of threads which I discuss writing techniques and hopefully give an interesting spin on some tried topics.

I've linked a couple of them here, I hope they help you out with your creative projects.

If you read this thread just from the title, then it proves my point. There are various way to hook an audience, from showing off interesting character dynamics to introducing them to an enormous epic or to a new fictional universe. However, one way of hooking the audience that I don't see being utilized much is, perhaps the simplest: Hooking them by not giving them any context, throwing them into the middle of a chaotic scene without any clear direction then slowly, through carefully pla…

I don't want to criticize any one single comic that does this, only the habit that I keep seeing re-occurring in modern storytelling but especially in comics, manga and web-comics. Bear in mind, these are issues are mostly present in high concept stories, but occasionally can be seen in other genres, such as action and thrillers. Talking during fights: instead of actually fighting, two characters decide to talk for 5 pages before they do their first attack. This is a terrible habit to get …

There is a common misconception that originality is all that counts when writing a story, however this shouldn't be the case. While originality can be a tempting goal and all works of fiction should aim to retain a degree of originality; and originality, when done right leads to some of the most amazing works in fiction, it isn't a practical lens to frame any work. When something new comes along and does well, the novelty will soon wear off as imitators and other creators build on the found…
