sketch of the day: Venus in pencils
Just a quick sketch. Might tinker with the proportions more. Extra commentary below 🙂
I’ve noticed that I’ve been getting some ads for Kickstarter campaigns in the sidebar. It seems like a lot of the campaigns for comics projects are to print them, not develop a project. I’d love to do a really nice, gorgeously professionally printed edition of chapters I-III in one volume, with revamped art, a fancy colour cover, and some extra material (what actually happened during that incident when baby Mus and a goat nearly destroyed the legion’s HQ?). It wouldn’t be too expensive to print, but a Kickstarter campaign to cover about half of the upfront cost—on a sort of pre-order model—would definitely help get it done. Might even get it printed in time for NY Comic Con. What do you think of the idea, internets?
You might as well consider that my money is already in your posession.
Your vote of confidence is happily accepted!
DOOO EEEET!
Hee hee. Hurrah for enthusiasm (and the voice of experience!) 😀
YES.
To me the scariest part of Kickstarter is having to do a video. Eeek. Maybe I could wear a Venus mask while doing it 🙂
You could use something like VoiceThread, which allows you to create a video that is made up of a slide show and narration (like, say, a PowerPoint or screencast-o-matic, plus your voice). That way, you wouldnt have to necessarily appear on your video.
I was wondering what software might be good to create something like that. I’ll check it out. Thank you for the suggestion!
Thank you again for the suggestion. I’ve created a dry-run, draft version of a video, and had a lot of fun playing around with it. It still needs work, but I’ll probably post a sneak preview of it later this weekend. Tonight, though, I’d like to get back to drawing 🙂
OMG, yes, please. 😀
If I can make a request, please consider including a PDF option. It’s really expensive and annoying to have paper books shipped to where I live, but I’ll happily pay money for a nicely formatted PDF of one of my favourite webcomics.
That’s a very good idea. Consider it done! (Or eventually to be done 🙂 )
Why only cover half the costs? Why not aim for full costs? Anyway, keep us all updated, I’ll donate to this if I possibly can, although like Confluence I’d prefer a .pdf.
I was…trying not to ask for too much? Maybe I will aim for all the costs. I’m looking at more prices for nice-quality printing. And of course I’d make sure the PDF looks great too 🙂
