New project!

A few of the positive things with actually finishing projects are the feelings of accomplishment and pride. These last weeks I've been finishing some stuff that I've been working on for a long time. Maybe the best feeling is that you ask yourself, what am I going to do now? It feels like you are on an open road with a full tank of gas!

Well, last week I started a new project! This is a comics project, that's been wanting to get made for several years. The basic idea, is very old (back in '97) and in 2006 I started writing this script, that I finished in 2010. The idea then was to begin drawing it as a side project. But in a moment of clarity I decided to put it on hold because, well, I'm a guy and, ok, I'm opening up now... it's hard to do two things at the same time... Back then I was also in the middle of an animation project that took a lot of my time. So the script has been lying here just waiting to get drawn!

This last week I've been re-acquainting myself to the project, reading old notes and of course the script. I've also been working on the character sheets, I put them on the blog in 2010, so I thought that it would be a good thing to rework them. That work will probably continue today and next week also. And after that I'm going to look at the thumbnails of the first chapter that I drew in 2010. I'm quite happy with them, but there might be some changes to do.

I'm thinking of working on the project chapter-by-chapter to get some variety. I've got some thoughts about publication, but that's something that I think will get sorted out later in the process.

Ok, I have no idea when it will be finished. No clue at all! I'm hoping for next year, but I don't know. And I also don't know if I'm going to pull it off. Like, am I ready for this kind of project? Do I know what I'm doing? Will it work? Will people read it?

Speaking of reading, it's going to get published in Swedish, that's a decision that's been made, because I want to stay true to the original idea, and the script. But that doesn't mean that it will not get translated later on, so don't get sad because you're not fluent in Swedish!

I'm thinking of letting these blog posts be some kind of "behind-the-scenes" of the project, but I don't want to do posts that are like "Still drawing, no, I'm not finshed yet!" When you visit my blog I want there to be something for you, so you don't feel like it's a waste of time.

Take care!
