What did you get done today?

[Kyousouka]

Finished writing our comic!
Barring small rewrites (which I'm sure we'll need to do), I don't have to worry about writing the story any longer. That's a weight off my shoulders.

It isn't broken up into chapters or pages yet (I do that when I thumb), so I still don't know how long the comic will be page-wise.

[Nathaniel Mea]

Made another 2 updates worth of buffer. Soon I am going to start working on the thumbs for my June NaNoManGo go.

I do the same too. I feel it's better to have a certain amount of flexibility when it comes to scripts. Do you find the whole, "Page 1: Panel 1: Character is walking" shpeel difficult to work with too?

[Skyug]

A number of things:
*Finished drafting page two.
*Made space in my room for the glorious light table.
*Considered publishing options....

Very difficult. If they want panel-level granularity, they should just give me thumbnails to work from (but even then I want some freedom to change it around).


Our current script is an edited RP, so it's pretty much taking turns with tiny bits of prose:

Quote:

Writer A: There was some thumping of someone running down the stairs, and then Draco crashed into the door. "Ack, coming!" he called, unlocking it. "Hell-Alain, hi! What are you doing here so early?"
Writer B: He smiled. "I'm sorry. Is it too early?"

I never thought I'd find this so nice to work with, but there you go. More detail than an outline, but very flexible and easy to read. I don't think I'd work with someone else's script in this format, but since I wrote most of it, it reads naturally to me.

I'm not entirely sure that writing after being awake for 30 hours is a good idea, but I'm getting stuff done. Hopefully it all makes sense tomorrow.

That's a pretty interesting way to pull out a script. o_o Then again, I've never fully utilized RPs as a way to get story ideas. One of my characters was made on a whim for an RP, but I changed her completely over the years.

I've never done it before either. This particular story started out as a general for-fun RP that we ended up adapting into a comic, but I don't think I'd RP with the intent to make it a comic on purpose. RPing is a good way to get a feel for stories and characters, but it is not a very good way to come up with the final script, as RPs are difficult to control, even with just two people.
Plus, RPing = co-writing, and I have my own stories to tell.

[Nathaniel Mea]

Yay I finally did the damn cover I have been agonizing over the past week or so...

And did another page for the buffer! Yay.

[ElfinNissa]

Mostly writing, thumbnailing and trying to reorganize my completely disorganized notes today. I tried scanning, but screwed up and the colors got eaten. Will try again tonight.

[Kyousouka]

Started thumbnailing chapter 5. It's a very short chapter, so I want to be sure it's long enough before I start doing the final art on chapter 4. If it's too short, I'll probably merge it with chapter 4, though I'd rather not.

[The Zorya]

Less then I hoped. I have full time table with finding me a new crib this week plus I got sick. But I managed to ink whole two panels this morning.

[Death T-2]

Basic character sheets are done! Now on to thumbnailing the thing.

After I sleep. Heh heh...

[Mr Heatmiser]

I've got my main character's model sheet done, the first 24 pages scripted, and the cover done. Hell yeah.

[ElfinNissa]

Lots of scanning and playing around in Photoshop. It's been too long.
