Random Thought Of The Day #508

Day 508

Wow, this is late today. I was too busy... not writing this.

I've been talking for a while about actually getting down & writing a comic. Well, not so much "writing" as producing. I've already written a shitload of the scripts. I've drawn a chunk of it as well, but will probably want to re-draw a lot of it too. And I've been really fucking itching to do at least one story for a little while now & it seems to be getting worse.

But the thing is, I've always held back on it. And I think it's for a few reasons. Maybe because I'm kinda reluctant to collaborate with anyone on it. 

What can I say? I dont' play well with others. I'm pretty sure most of you can attest to that.

But I think it's a lot to do with not really wanting to change my vision for any of these projects.  I know I'm going to have to hear someone else's input if I decided to work with someone else on this. And honestly? I don't really want to work with anyone else. Even if it means re-drawing the same fucking panel over & over until I get it right since sometimes my talents aren't what I want them to be & can come across a little "flatter" than I want it to look.

Granted, this also means I'll need to actually take the time to dedicate to sitting at the art table, breaking out the pencils & picking up new comic boards (I might still have some in the box of other art supplies and all the other marginally completed thoughts, full scripts & half-drawn pages. I should look) and producing again. That just seems like a lot of work.

But also... trying to dedicate setting money aside to self-publish is kind of a pain in the ass. Though something like a Kickstarter thing might be helpful for this. That actually might possibly work. Though that would also mean probably trying to finish a little bit more of it & scanning the inked B&W pages to give people an idea of what I'm actually putting together & whether or not it's worth it for them to help out.

*shrug* I don't know. Maybe it's just another one of those things that I'll get to eventually (like doing the furniture building that I REALLY need to start doing soon for the play space so I don't have to keep borrowing furniture from others for the parties) or things that I'd like to do but never quite get to.

Or I'll just go watch some cartoons. And read an old TPB of Joe Kelly's run on Deadpool.
