What non-comic media do you wish you could write/draw comics for?

Jonathan L Howard's Johannes Cabal-books need to be adapted as comics, and I would love to get my hands on that. I, uh, might have already had a go at drawing up some character-designs. >.>

I also think the Friends at the Table-podcast would make a lovely comic - or, you know, a big-budget animated series would be nice too. Clear out the dice-rolls, and there is some seriously nice conflict, fascinating characters and settings, and some really heart-rending choices made by the characters.

Hmmm twilight zone though I doub't could do it justice I could definitely show passion and inherent absurdity. That answer was kind of an easy out though hmmm. If for the rest of my life I was forced to only do comic adaptations to the redwall series I would not be sad at all.

I want to draw graphic novel adaptations of Neil Gaiman's books---- heck, I want to draw graphic novels for Neil Gaiman, dammit!

dglisson 2016-02-23 15:54:11 UTC #12

boy do I love Neil Gaiman! It's pretty intimidating to me though because they always seem to choose the perfect artists for his work

@AnnaLandin RPG podcasts are an awesome source of inspiration! That reminds me that I'm currently putting together a Skype RPG group with my friends to run a role playing game, I'm secretly hoping it will fuel ideas for my next comic!

Black Jack Justice from Decoder Ring Theater - comedic noir crime thriller tales that would be oh-so-fun!

dglisson 2016-02-23 21:16:41 UTC #15

Twilight Zone would be super awesome to see... making new episodes and freaking people out like the old horror books of the 60s and 70s, nice!

@noctuidae Have you read the official comic adaptation for it by Peter Kuper? The style of the Metamorphosis comic seems very in tune with your style, so I think it will suit you well to do your own adaptation for sure

As for the question, if for some reason there's a comic spin-off of the Fantasy Life video game, it'd be cool to get on board with that. The style is just so wonderful and charming, so colorful and the characters are really cute.

ooh, I wasn't aware of that! I should read it; maybe it'll help me for when I decide to take on a Kafka story

I've always wanted to do a comic of The Neverending Story since I love the movie and the book. But due to copyright laws, I can't. I know I could make a fan-comic or my own twist on it and say I was inspired by it, but I really want to adapt the story itself into a comic, I mean the landscapes themselves are enough for inspiration! Swamps of Sadness, Crystal Mountains, the Neverending Forest...All this stuff would be so much fun to draw an implement into a comic.

When I was younger I wanted to do an Alice in Wonderland comic, but then I got older and found out everyone else in the world had the same idea I did :/

@Wolven_Sister I love the Neverending Story!!!! I agree that an even more faithful adaptation than the movie, or even just taking it different places (the impact of the reader so involved in the story would get the double the immersion on the comics page!

Screenwriting or production coordination on animated tv shows for emotionally mature audiences. I'd absolutely LOVE to work on something with Greg Weisman (Gargoyles, Young Justice), or Rebecca Sugar (Steven Universe). I love writing and helping artists get their ideas into fully formed and fleshed out products. It's something I've always wanted to do.

Outside of that, comic editor would be pretty cool too!

dglisson 2016-02-25 01:09:43 UTC #21

Oh man Gargoyles... (drool). That is one show I wish they were still making. It was so mature for its age group and had such great characterization.

Wolven_Sister 2016-02-25 04:44:20 UTC #22

Exactly!! There's so many opportunities through the story that are just begging to be artistically portrayed!

I've been considering of getting into contact with David Clement-Davies if he would be up for a comic adaption for his books....>>

avalonmao 2016-02-25 06:10:52 UTC #23

Ummmmmmm uhh uh uh ARTHUR

dglisson 2016-02-25 13:00:38 UTC #24

I love Clement-Davies! Are you talking about his animal stuff like Fire Bringer or The Sight? Or the more human stuff like Telling Pool?
I've secretly always wanted to make comic adaptations of Tim Powers' stuff like Declare or Last Call.

Wolven_Sister 2016-02-25 14:08:42 UTC #25

I love drawing wolves so I would probably ask if I could adapt The Sight or it's sequel Fell.

I know right?? I'm just afraid of how to approach said author and what legalities would be involved with adapting their story. Though I wouldn't mind being very flexible, it IS their story so I would try to be respectful in getting everything accurate as much as possible.

Comics of various videogames! Mostly Nintendo franchises... maybe a Smash Bros fancomic x3

I'd love to make graphics for mobile games.

MannyMelancholy 2016-02-25 17:48:01 UTC #28

oh my gosh Six Stringed Samurai!!! i've been influenced by it with my current work and i've thought up some fan fic for it too. The world would be so fun to delve into.
