Random Scribbles #3 + S.R.
Oi, what a mess.
For quite a few years now (4), I have debated with myself over what exactly I really wanted to do with S.R. The idea of writing the entire thing as a book series and then promptly burying it away seemed tempting, but not because I wanted to hide away the story, simply that I wanted to hide away my horrid writing, for the safety of the general public. I avoided the idea of a comic, because 1.) That still involves my horrid writing, and 2.) That involves paneling.
I despise paneling, I really do. But it's come to the point that I am slightly less reluctant to use it, and thus occasionally able to put out a comic page here or there, or a reference sheet (as shown in one of my previous journals) that actually reads through a certain way...
Producing S.R. as a comic would be beyond awesome of course, albeit, a very long, tedious project. It is essentially, three stories which take place in the same world, all affecting one another in little ways. Most importantly, the story focuses on the actual world itself, and then characters which try to change it, and its mechanics.
This leads me to, how difficult it would be to find someone willing to help with it all. S.R. is complex - and I don't particularly mean that in a good way, I just mean that it's complicated, because that's what happens when you put so much attention to how an entirely alternate world 'works', with magic, and cultures, and languages, and races, and creatures, and religions, and histories, for multiple years. But that doesn't change the fact that I'd need a critical eye towards the entire thing regardless. I really can't go around making characters, and epic adventures and what not, expecting them all to be interesting or make sense to anybody but myself.
It's also a very frightening step, I think...taking something I've worked so hard on, and literally looking for someone to rip it apart. I can easily stand critiques on my artwork until the person on the other side of the screen's fingers begin to bleed, because I hold a certain detachment towards the actual 'finished' work of anything I draw - I don't have that detachment from S.R. Not yet at least.
And so I am stuck u-u
And that is my ramble.
tldr; I need an editor, but am too cowardly to ask someone to provide such assistance.
SCRIBBLES TIME.
These first five were sketch requests...
And these were 30 minute art exchanges ~(O.O~)
And these...were just me being dumb.
Yeeeey.
