I have this old external hard drive that contains all my half-ideas, character development rigs, semi-complete comics and … well crap basically. I’m sure lots of people have an equivalent.
Anyway now and then I dig through it, rifling through semi-formed comic concepts, pondering what to do next or just playing around.
Sometimes it’s just an already-used character like Sophie Shitcrack from Skybloom, with a different haircut and plonked in a bathroom …
… and I hit render and I think ah yes, that’s nice.
Goodness knows how many thousands of silly concepts I have dithering about the place …
… perhaps at some point the old hard drive will just fail, and I’ll carry on my life like a normal person.
… and we all know how explosive a single image concept can be.
I created this character/image before I wrote Lithium:
… and look what happened there! FOURTEEN comics, thousands of pages, reams of conversation in that ridiculous comic series! Absurd what happens when we dick about with 3D ideas hehe.
Ridiculous … how? I don’t get it.
Hopefully that hard drive will work for multiple decades … normal is so boring.
