RE: Character development for Biny Sleaze in my upcoming crypto-comic!
As much as your photography amazes me, I’m so happy to see the ratio of comic and illustration related posts increasing!
Biny is looking great. Glad you’re fleshing out the story and gaining momentum. I’ve been doing a lot of research reading and reading about writing/story structure recently. I’ve had the feeling that I’m ready to start the artwork on a first issue myself, but then I realized I had a lot more writing work to do before diving in. Or perhaps I’m just subconsciously nervously stalling...
HA! Same here @bryan-imhoff, but I did that nervous stalling for years when I was "...working on THEIA", and but the time I got a few pages in, the entire plot of my sci-fi thriller, actually became a reality. It was about a bioengineer that successful adapted extremophile DNA to that of a human. One day I woke up, and six of my friend that were familiar with my comic sent me links to articles where it was already being done. This comic is about the mass adopting and rapid exchange of wealth from fiat to crypto. I better move my fucking ass.
BTW, years ago my friend Neal and I had a thing where we had a certain day of the week we both had to do an art exchange and present the other with a finished comic page. It was a great way of keeping us both on task. You and I should talk terms to make that happen, lol. Big stakes. Like, 50.000 STEEM to the other person if they don't present their pages. If both of us have them done, no money changes hands :P
Haha, accountability is everything. I am in the middle of writing Star Circuit and it's a huge ordeal. When I start doing the actual pages I'd be down for a challenge like that.
You actually do once again have that pressure of reality catching up to your vision... so by all means haul ass! On the other hand, I’m working on a tale of apocalyptic magic... so if that comes to pass, similarities to my story will be the least of my worries!
I was honestly kicking around the idea of a production “wager” myself. Now that you’ve suggested it... it’s pretty much a must happen, although I think you’ll be getting a lot of Steem off me! Let’s definitely hash out details, maybe direct message me on Discord.
Running into that problem all cyberpunk authors have. Can't speculate faster than reality when trying to write near future fiction.
