poor Zia!
so i keep trying to think of various sorts of Wet Moon-related posts i could do in between the page updates, like behind-the-scenes stuff or highlighting people's Wet Moon fanart, or character profiles, or how a particular character came to be and developed and what i had in mind.
it's also tough because i'm always wary about getting too behind-the-scenes because i'm afraid it'll influence how people see the characters, i'm afraid if i reveal too much about my thought process or a character's inception that it'll affect people's own personal interpretations.
what sort of posts would you guys be interested in seeing?

I'm a HUGE fan of sketches and other artist's sketchbooks so I personally would love to see any doodles you have of the WM process. I don't think you should worry about that stuff influencing how people interperet the characters; if anything, I think it adds to the whole experience.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see the stuff like the character development process and the people you based the characters on and other stuff like that. And I'd love to see character designs that you ended up ditching! Or any stories behind the real life stuff that influenced moments in the story.
ReplyDeleteWhat would I like to see?
ReplyDelete/Everything/.
Seriously, I love that stuff.
definitely fan art, but maybe some process stuff, too. like thumbnails to rendered page? also maybe you could post the scripts you originally wrote for some pages. that's something that i don't see very many comic creators focusing on, maybe because everyone does it differently, but i could see it being helpful as a reference for other aspiring writers/creators.
ReplyDeleteoh i'd also love to see your doodles/sketchbooks for making the characters! also maybe people you based the characters off of, like nick said. really anything, i'm sure anything you post will be awesome to see!
ReplyDeletePoor Zia?? What do you mean?? She asked Fern for drugs?! I cant belive she would do that! Thats seems so out of character! I mean maybe thats who she is but Im just saying Im shocked : O
ReplyDeleteIts also nice to know that Malady has a heart after all :) She seemed so pushy and tactless.
poor Zia because everyone talks about her behind her back! i realize Zia hasn't been fleshed out a lot in the comic yet so there isn't a lot to go on, but i think you have to keep in mind that a lot of what she does is likely just for attention and half of what she says has to be taken with a grain of salt. you ever meet anyone who just says ridiculous stuff because they want the attention even if they don't actually mean it? XD
DeleteHahaha I totally have friends like Zia, who I like well enough when it's just us hanging out, but in groups I get all embarrassed about their behavior. lol so I love that you put that in there. you do my favorite dialogue in comics!
ReplyDeleteokay so, extra stuff to show us...I understand your hesitations but I say DONT BE SCARED! Just show us anything. I'd love to see sketches and processes, since I want to do comics someday...I would like to see how you work. and anything. What would influence us?? I'd love to see your thought process and characters inceptions...eee sounds so good!
first off, cleo's expression of mirth is the most adorable, infectious display of happiness i've ever seen in illustration. second, i'd be interested in knowing about your thought process in developing characters. i understand your wariness, but i personally would not love your characters any less because you got inspiration from their character from something ordinary or unpopular. :)
ReplyDeletethanks for all your comments! :) and thank you for the kind words on Cleo's expression!!! that's high praise! <3
Deletei'll see what i can do about a character development/creation post, hmmm... it's such a daunting topic, not sure where to start!
