It's been a while since my last post and there were questions as to my authenticity and such. I would love to adapt Animorphs to graphic novel format, I will include a pdf of my first published comic (which is now out of print due to a request from my new publisher who wants a few changes in artistic direction) in raw form since i no longer have the colored pages, and a sample of my most recent script for Tragic Entertainment. my resume isn't long in the comics yet, but hopefully with time and gigs with dedicated fan bases like this, it will get longer.
Now who's in charge?
What direction is this going to go?
Outright, blow by blow from the book to the page transcription, or slightly different, more like a book to movie or book to graphic novel adaptation? there are several transcription style comics being done via deviant art and that requires no scripting at all, just page layouts, but if you want something with a little flair like LOTR from books to movies or
Planet of the Apes (the original), then You need a script. I've been working on scripting these books for a while now, and as an adult who grew up in that time period, I think i do the books justice.
Who's doing artwork, and how?
By this i mean are we gonna have one person do pencils, one on inks, one on colors, one on letters, even go so far as one on backgrounds and one on covers, or is it gonna be a one person show? Do you want help getting there?
Is it paid?
Probably not, but a successful kickstarter will get the funds needed to go forward, and money will get you what you need when it comes to artists, the good ones are notorious for demanding pay even when its their dream project and its not really going to make a profit.
Heck, I'll be glad to act as just a consultant on the project to get this thing going.
I've actually spoken with Katherine Applegate and Michael Reynolds about getting a comic done, but scholastic didn't seem interested and no one knew who held the rights in regard to adaptations so the project died.
Since this is going in for fair use and not for profit then i think it shouldn't have any issues.
