Hello~
Thank you so much for the watch!

hmm..seems like there must be a way...
(used to do a 12 hour night shift myself so..am familiar with the problem)

aww! Poor sad panda

no possibility of changing shifts?



failing that..saving for scanner first probably best way to go. (and used ones are really quite reasonable)

I'd like to talk more too!

Not exactly the go-to-guy but..have some experience (and gaining more alll the time)

theres kinda a problem with all of that.i do have friends but they are on the day shedule and im the night. we never really talk at all any more ....its sad really. but ya gatta make a living some how, and my shift also is so late that by the time i wake up i eather have to go to work, or the places are already closed, not that i know of any places at this moment. that makes me a sad panda...
but you seem like a really cool person, not to sound like im comming on strong or anything , but i'd really like to know as much as i can about all this as i can, and you seem rather informed or knowlageable eather way that ...and your work and attitude are awsome if its ok id like to talk more.

*nodnod*

one of those (or both) are pretty much essential. (actually i don;t have a good camera right now)

got any friends who do until you can get a scanner (and or camera)of your own?
Used scanners can be found, pretty inexpensively.

or..are there any places that have scanning services near you?

Many thanks!

Glad to share what knowledge i do have.
I'm still very low on the ladder. (but determined not to stay there)

the most time consuming part is certainly studying the medium (obsessively in my case) and getting all of the skills in place. (which means, not just being able to draw a variety of things well, and in different perspectives) but also the story telling and pacing concerns, the aesthetics of the page, and art style. (constantly evolving in my case. i'm never entirely happy with my own work..and i never expect to be. have come to accept that though)

human anatomy probably has the steepest learning curve, and you can never be too good at rendering the figure, body language, expression, etc.

having an art style that will reproduce reliably in print is important. (some concerns with my older style regarding this. with Hopeless, i'm developing a new one.)

having a great story is important if your planning to be an all around creator. (some companies only accept submissions of story and art together, others will look for freelancers of both sorts.

If an artist only, a bit of sample story will do. may writers out there. many very happy to be working with an artist.

then..there is the networking (which i very much enjoy..but i've been doing it entirely over the internet)

studying the submission guidelines of the companies you are interested in ans sending work, getting to know others in the business who will share leads and contacts (and moral support and friendship. art is a lonely job much of the time. i wouldn't enjoy it nearly as much without the people i've met. they keep me going really)

Going to cons for portfolio reviews and meeting people face to face is supposed to be a very good idea, i only do one con a year currently (though hoping this will change soon) as i really don't have the travel budget (and when i'm doing a story..just don't have the time)

building a fan base while you're involved in all of this is probably a good idea too.

this is by no means a complete answer to your question. simply don't have all of the answers but..that's what i've been able to glean from the process so far. (or the high points at least)

actually, they were upset because i told them i'd need to take a break between books one and 2 (as i was approaching burnout)

So..not a prblem with the quality of work.

have come to the conclusion that we're actually much better off..and are putting together what's needed for the next pitch. (HOPELESS)
already have chosen somone to work with as a prtner in production and publisher placement.

will take a few steps back from the book i was working on (Personal demons) and we'll come back to that in a bit (possibly adding color)

Both stories are set on the haunted (to put it mildly) isolated island of Hopeless, Maine. and focus on (among other things) the doings of young Owen Davies and the young experimental occultist, Salamandra.

Bryn Colvin is the author for both of these, (she is amazing!!)

we are working from my original concept and many of my characters.

I might possibly have some small claim to co-writer status for HOPELESS as Bryn has incorporated nearly all of what i had originally written for the story.

it's much longer, more involved, more compelling and wilder than i could have done on my own now though. As Bryn is writing it there will be many tankubon. (10 to 12 at least) and she'd not done writing yet.
