Tofugu Godzilla Comic:
So if you read Tofugu, you probably saw my Godzilla comic posted today- inspired by the Koichi's Godzilla video's.
I thought these videos were hilarious and I had a ton of fun doing this comic. So, I've been collecting some more gag ideas for future Godzilla: Kaishain comics...?
Now that it's out, I'll be adding this one shot to my comic page probably later today. And of course I hope to work with the cool guys at Tofugu again sometime!

I've been making
cards:
and I also finally made a new image for my comics page on the website:
in anticipation of some new visitors stopping by (Sat. I'll post the reason I'm expecting guests).

into the dream
Again no text on this page- but this page shows the visual transitions into dream (which at this point in the story is no secret) And since it's no secret that she is dreaming, I can have a lot fun with the images.

Surreal World
This would be somewhere around page 11. No text yet but I like the feel of the black and white for the "real life" parts.

the winning project
The project that has come out ahead, for now anyway, is Surreal World.
It took no time at all to tighten up the characters in my new cartooning style.
And now I can play more with brush inking. When I'm only accountable to myself, I'm mush more relaxed with it than when I knew it was going to be scrutinized by Mick (my inking instructor). Though, I'm sure its not nearly so tight either, but I work best when I keep things loose.

I'm a comic artist...
I'm a comic artist. I should really be planning and working on my pitch for a comic. I guess its easy to loose faith in your own ability to do what you love and flounder about on the periphery. I am also an illustrator but I studied comics, I went back to school to improve my comics, dammit, I need to think about my next comic!
Some days I can look at the comic work on my webpage and see that it really isn't all that bad. Today was one of those days. Despite the smack down my Kokoro pages got from my MFA defense, they still reflect a quality of work that I would accept/read from someone else. To me this is a good standard.
So, I have to put in some serious work planning which project to start. If anyone actually read this blog, I would definitely take a vote or requests, but this is just a place for me to put my own thoughts into words.
The contenders: Pros and Cons
Quatre C- story mostly worked out, great new characters designs, perfect for a web comic/ would be a long or serialized story, really want a background designed in studio max and it isn't getting made...
Gender Studies- successful hook, black and white, 98% finished plot/ was turned down once, would like help on the writing, would have to re-draw existing pages
Surreal World- story worked out, opportunity for variety and experimentation/ would have to re-draw existing pages
Kokoro- pitch completely worked out, sample pages done, mostly scripted/ don't feel for the characters, sick to death of it
"Sandy"- awesome, totally worked out story/ need background and tech artist partner who is dedicated
It seems one of my hold backs is wanting a partner to share the work- especially in areas I'm not confident about. I suppose if I really want to get serious I need to buck up and just learn to do it myself! All of these project will require at least finished scripting and thumbnailing... it's just, where to start?
