Road To A [Horror] Comic: Week 7-8

The end of week 8 on this road I have chosen towards the production of a comic version of one of my short stories. What Have I Learned So Far? Not everyone is interested - these posts are not doing particularly well. So why am I continuing with them? Well I came to the conclusion …

Road to a [Horror] Comic: Week 6-7

I have to admit to a slow week this week. I had quite a setback (read destroyed) when the choose your own adventure book I was writing was lost. Totally and utterly. I was literally on the last fifty words the other night, but when I came back in the morning, it was gone... Its …

Road to a [Horror] Comic: Week 5-6

This week has been difficult as I've tried to juggle a week off work (family time) with my writing (several lengthy blog posts) and this comic. Oh, I'm also trying to watch Game of Thrones for the first time, so trying to fit in at least an episode every day has come in to my …

Road to a [Horror] Comic: Week 4-5

Another week into this challenge I've set myself, and time for a recap I think. I started off with the most amazing art in my mind. This comic would be something to rival the finest that Marvel has ever produced. It would be lovingly hand drawn and in full colour. Now, at week 5, I'm …

Road to a [Horror] Comic: Week 3-4

So I rolled into this week ready to try something different. I felt like I'd got a decent grip in drawing heads in profile, and was making good progress in drawing heads straight on. My attempts at drawing 3/4 head views were not going as well, and as a result, I was beginning to become …

Road to a [Horror] Comic: Week 2-3

Welcome back to my update on how my comic is coming along. If you're new here, you can check back to the first post HERE, but basically the idea is that I am aiming to draw a comic based on one of my short horror stories. However I am currently trying to overcome the problem …

Road to a Comic: Week 1-2

Hey all! Welcome to the end of week 2, and an update on how the project is going so far. If you've only just come to this party, you missed last week's episode. Basically, I am trying to turn one of my short stories into a comic. Now, I don't mean I'm looking for an …

Road to a Comic: Week 1

Last time I spoke about my desire to turn one of my short stories into a comic. Today marks the end of my first week and here is my first progress update. I am at the very early stages of learning this new skill, although not the absolute beginning, as I would say I at …

Road to a Comic and Writing – Just Get it Done

Okay, so this could either turn out to be something I'm really proud of, or it could turn into an unmitigated disaster. I'm hoping it's the former, but I imagine there will be a long time before I find that out! Kind of a low quality ninja? Last week, I posted about a homemade zombie …
