OK so this script has been through TPG twice and I have just gotten round to re-working page 1 after the last round of critiques. My main concern is the dialogue now. The setting is on another world so I originally tried medieval type speech but I think I over did it so I have toned that down. I have…
In an attempt to flesh out my comic book characters a bit more I’m going to write some quick micro fiction about them. This piece is supposed to be an audio journal entry from Umia as she is out riding on Torina, her winged panther. The Audio Journal Of Lady Umia Yulon Date: Wutanday 17th Ortumum 7117 Time: 06:13 hours…
I’ve just added a link from this site to ComixTribe. For many months now I have been studying the articles on this site to learn more about creating comics. There is a wealth of information on here for all comics creators. There is even a section where you can submit your own comic script for a free review by industry professionals. …
After re-writing my plot and comic book script, I needed to update my character profiles. I’ve included an organisation profile for The Acolytes Of Mymosule as well, they’re an unsavoury bunch!First name: Sylen Middle names: Family name: Benevolen Height: 184cm Weight: 80kg Hair Colour: Black-green Eye Colour: Green Skin Colour: Pale Build: Lean Posture: Age: 28 Attractiveness: Attractive Demeanor: Sullen…
I’m satisfied enough with the high level plot now so I have translated it into a comic book script. Hopefully this time around I’ve avoided putting in any “moving panels” (comic book panels should be static snapshots in time). Page 1 Panel 1: It is dusk. The planetary rings are visible in the purple cloud-streaked sky. Captain Sylen Benevolen is…
It didn’t feel that I’d given Benevolen enough time to camouflage himself inside the altar chamber so I’ve tried to pad out the scenes with the acolytes and Lady Umia. Also there was no reason for Kopath to be extra scary since I’m not going to get him to fight Benevolen. So Kopath’s not a giant any more, just a menacing…
The original comic book plot did not reveal the things I wanted revealing about Sylen Benevolen so I’ve been reworking it. Basically Benevolen is a stealth expert so I wanted to show some of his stealth capabilities. This is version 3: It is dusk, Captain Sylen Benevolen stands on a cliff edge with Iyeon his winged panther. He is gazing…
I’ve just added a Character Profile Template page in the Writing section. I designed this template specifically for use with comics so it has a number of visual elements. If you find this useful, please feel free to copy and paste 🙂
One of my eventual aims with this website is to complete a digital comic and distribute it online. However, I am still only in the planning stages. I have been for several years! Searching for inspiration to help me get past the planning stages, I found an article by an author called M. D. Lachlan entitled “Plot your novel in an…
