Hey everyone, firstly, a
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU!!! I know I don't know any of you personally, but I know there are human beings behind these posts and that you all have hopes, like me, that 09 will be a prosperous year. May we all achieve what we want to achieve this year!!!
I've been enjoying my holidays, been beaching it every chance I get, and drawing a bit on the sides still. Some more character-related stuff. For now I'll post my stuff on me
Photobucket when I get a chance on the following days.
WOLFEV, THAT'S REAL GREAT STUFF YOU MADE THERE!! Two thumbs up mate!
You are really creative with your dialogues and that scene is just as I pictured Jake and Marco to be talking. I would LOVE to have a go at DRAWING IT!
I tried something similar when I came across that scene, and you did a lot more justice to their character-voices. I really love it!
Where abouts did you get up to in your script?!
I must confess here, that because I have not seen any scripts, I took it upon myself to somewhat make me a script for book 1, too.
And now I understand why it can be hard and overwhelming to actually come up with something. As some of you will find, there's quite a lot to determine and write when you actually sit down and do it. As it is, I've got more than 40 pgs up to the part where Elfangor dies!!
Perhaps I can send it to ya and we can bounce back ideas?! Let us know.
PS: There is the 'slight' problem that file is on my computer back in Melbourne. And I am in holidays in Perth! Nghaaaaaaaaaaarrrrr
rgh!!!!!

There's another graphic novel project in the works. :O
Mirienne, I'd like to jump platforms and post on that Forum for that artist. Or maybe via Deviant Art. If anyone here finds that double-crossing with the Forum... I knew we wouldn't be the only ones, but I didn't even know there were other Forums that were doing this!
Do you think I am wrong to think of a combined effort?!
I think we should encourage die-hard fans to do more stuff like this. If we are all still thinking and dreaming Animorphs, DECADES AFTER IT FINISHED, we should DO SOMETHING!!! A Graphic Novel is just ONE way to keep Animorphs alive!! I don't like that person's drawings. Jake is good, but Tobias is drawn as a twin of Jake - seriously, if they were at the same angle I wouldn't be able to tell them apart, and Marco just looks stupid.
No offense to the person doing the project, but I just don't like those drawings beyond Jake.
Desperado Newfie, unless one has a methodical style, it's REALLY hard for one to keep consistency in the drawings of characters. Things like hairstyles and skin colour, EVERYTHNG is like codes, which readers, as you showed, look for in identifying a character and etc... they need to be established at the early stages and it's a long-pace before drawing the comic stage. I can relate to this particular stage taking TOO LONG to make and SOMETIMES, you just want to draw the comic and see what you get. But, like
Acre Lorraine stated up there, these details and the story itself can't be ignored if you want to have a memmorable product.
