write a comic strip

i studied graphic design for a year and am pretty familiar with the professional technique involved in producing images for print. i just need to come up with a character and a small story. i plan to correlate the comic to the character that i have set to make for my design a toy goal. i’m hoping to tie the two together.

No good ideas coming to me nowadays. I’ll wait until I’m properly moved by the muse.

I’m not certain whether to do this as a serialized story or a strip, because I can’t draw at all. I’m thinking of just writing it and casting about to see if any artist friends of mine would be willing to illustrate it. I could publish it on the Web…right now I have an idea for a couple of characters, but that’s basically it. I’ll just roll those folks around in my head for a while and see if any stories suggest themselves.

Just go to http://www.mainada.net/comics/ press Draw a comic strip and there you go ;)

Enjoy it!

to feel as creative and brimming-over as I did back in highschool, when I first began fiddling with this idea. But the inspirations seem to dodge my adult head now, and there’s so much else going on and i worry about my cartooning skills.

I’ve already done this, about 3 years ago – I wrote a very strange comic strip called Hie Helo -two characters who spoke a bit like Krazy Cat, phonetically written…it was an odd ‘un, but I loved it! The artist was ace, but he had too much on, and we lost the momentum unfortunately.
