Finally got off my lazy #ss and drew the MC from my story "Cryptid for Hire", Crypto. The undead purple Cryptid Hunter. [image]
There's tons of reference out there for character design for a cool looking species! The best way to go about it is probably to think of what you think would be cool or a theme you want to tackle. Like say, Orcs but they're more futuristic, or a fairytale creature that's not quite elves but has some…
The most common fantasy races are Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, Halflings, and Humans and those are fine. But what if I wanted to do something different? I'm sure there are other fantasy races. I'm specifically looking for an alternative Orc race because out of all the fantasy races listed that one is the…
I personally made my own original races for my novel, so I definitely say go for it. We often see the same races make an entry in fantasy stories, so if anything I would heavily encourage doing something original. Or...well...TRY something a little fresh.
I agree with all of that. Artmis Fowl is a prime example of a poorly executed cash grab. I pay that the day my work gets the recognition it deserves, it does not stray down that path that a majority of film and TV franchises go.
Depends on the changes. Comics and movie/tv shows are different mediums, and what works in one might not work on another, so I understand having to change some things to fit the adaptation. However, I'm not going to approve if they end up changing major parts of the plot and lore and ESPECIALLY the …
It depends. If they're only wanting to make minor and insignificant changes to parts of the story, then definitely. Also, I would have to be able to continue fully own the rights to my works as well after the show/movie airs. If they're looking to change the entire story's plot and/or the likenesses…
I just don't really get what's wrong with "selling out"? I see people throw that around on the forums a lot. If you're making money, have read the contract (and read it well), and you're satisfied, even happy and proud, with the results (be it bad movie or not), why is it a sell out? What hav…
This sounds like the typical sellout scenario. Plenty of hair bands back in the 80s went through this. Funny story I know... If its a compromise I have to make I'm willing to work with anyone as long its within reasonable term. Money normally talks to lots of folks. For me, if some producer end u…
I'd absolutely be open to my story being changed as long as I maintained ownership over it, and had the right to veto decisions I would never approve (like sexifying my main character). I'm not a professional comic writer/ artist so to have someone come in and look at my story with fresh eyes and re…
There are some things I would willing to change for Crow’s Worth. I would be fine with cutting out the blood spit and face slapping. I would also be ok with changing some of the races or skin color for some of the characters. I would be against them adding characters. I also do not want any romant…
I'm very much open to changes to things like story structure to fit the medium. Like when you look at Attack on Titan, the reason the first season of the anime is so much better than the manga is that they were able to look at that whole first arc, then completely restructure it to have much better …
I would allow small changes, but they have to tell me what they're changing first, and receive my permission.
Mine is fanfiction, so a lot would have to be changed before we could start making money on it. Still, I would want to monitor the changes and approve every single one. My story deals with controversial subject matter involving stigmatized groups (polyamorous people and sex workers) so I'd want to m…
I'd change parts of it, but not the really important events and characters. I understand that some things have to be changed because a novel and a movie have their differences in how they are made. But I've put a lot of thought into my story and why would I change something if I know it's doing well…
Big yes from me. In this scenario since they're approaching me for an adaptation I can't imagine anything core to the narrative being changed too radically- otherwise they wouldn't need to adapt my work and could either find a different author or make their own? Any number of small changes for marke…
No. Not in a million years. My story is worth more to me as is than it would ever be in another adaptation where it was heavily changed. You could not pay me enough to do anything like that.
As long as I keep the ownership of the IP and the characters stays faithful to the original work, then by all means.
A singular table will be flipped in the discussion room if they try to Beauty and Beast it 
If they MUST do that, then I have to get final say of who will play the human version. 
imagine to get around it. They have the monster turn into a human at the end.
Only got the three conditions: I get my money and share the IP rights for however long this contract lasts (before getting said IP rights back in full). Even then, I want them royalties. The characters stay the same in appearance. Personality can be flexible if it helps with plot, but appearan…
The comic I'm doing right now isn't really plot dependent. As long as they stay true to the characters I don't care if the change the entire plot to something else. I'd love to see a new story with my characters or a new take. Just so long as my baby Hugh is still himself.
I would let them make whatever changes they want. A paycheck is a paycheck, after all! And I'm not a TV producer - there are some things that work well in a comics format that wouldn't translate to TV. Sure there's a chance of it being total garbage, but at the end of the day, I still get paid for i…

It's something that's accepted when it comes to adapting manga or light novels. Even massive manga like one piece have certain aspects that differentiate from the source material. Often, it has nothing to do with the source material being bad, but instead with the animation company thinking that cha…
I don't really care so long as I still own (or majority own) the IP, get a royalty deal, and get a credit like 'based on …" My original work will still exist so people can go look for it if they're so inclined. Some may call me a sell out, but HEY, money's nice. And I'm always creating new ideas…
