Upcoming comic....Hopefully...

*Brodie* · 01-19-2004, 08:14 PM

For a couple weeks me and Cooksux have been throwing around ideas, basically saying we should do a comic or something creative, incase we cant get the 'Jam' worked out. And we kept saying "We'll do it." "Yep" But we've been screwed for time to do something, and had better luck tipping cows than coming up with ideas. At first we planned on doing a TMNT comic, and that's still a plan, eventually. But I got an idea around 3 am one time about a Venom comic. Kind of.

It's basically the idea of the Symbiote throughout time. The idea that it has been around longer than Spider-man thinks, how the symbiote is an important thing in the history of the world. It would start with Cavemen, then Feutal Japan, then the Salem Witch trials, then the 80's, and so on. The idea that the symbiote has been around since the beginning of time, and how it will find a way to stay around for eternity. It will also cover how the symbiote effected the people it came into contact with and how those people changed and how they effected the world, and how the symbiote and such in turn effected the world itself, society, people, and the state of things.

But this is one of those things where you get these great ideas, but it's a pain in the balls to get together. Like I had ideas of major Samurai and Ninja battles, and this badass dude who is "infected" with the symbiote and the battle goes in favor of him, and the idea of a cool battle got me excited, but at the same time it's like "how the hell am I gonna do that?"

And I told Cook, and he's a bit hesitant, but I understand that, it's iffy when there's not much to go on. So I'm gonna go for one of his ideas and ask people what they think I or we should do? This a good idea or no? Something, drop some info.

if you want my honest opinion, i don't like the fact that it was during the prehistoric times, imo it could start early, but not that early

*Brodie* · 01-19-2004, 08:32 PM

Yeah, I get that, but it might not be that much of an impact on the story, Maybe a scene like from the X-Files movie, where the caveman got taken over by the goo.

*That Matt Guy* · 01-19-2004, 08:32 PM

Why Japan?

*Bowser_Koopa* · 01-19-2004, 08:37 PM

because we love Japan

and Brodie, i didn't see X-files, so i in the air

*Brodie* · 01-19-2004, 08:41 PM

Mostly because there's an amazing history to Japan, and just to be able to touch upon it, that'd be fun.

Edit: And in the X-Files movie, its based around some goo or something, and in the first few minutes this caveman gets like overtaken by this black good, reminiscant of Venom.

*Brodie* · 01-20-2004, 02:46 PM

Bump.

Started a couple pages, penciled and the inking has started. Looks ok so far.

*cqb101* · 01-20-2004, 06:04 PM

Wow, some of these ideas sound awesome. Nd anything coming from Brodie and Cook has gotta kick ass.

*Brodie* · 01-20-2004, 06:14 PM

If I finish the first few pages I might make a teaser or something, but people will see something different for my work: Color.

I've decided since I have to deal with such a dark character, a character that's primarily black, I have to throw in some color. I say some cause there isn't much. Just Red, blue, Black & White. First page is done, next few pages should kick some ass.

I just hope it's good enough to get Cook attatched.

CookSux · 01-20-2004, 07:41 PM

Haha, I'm not that hesistant, it's a sweet idea... just that I'm at a point where I'm not reliable enough to spare that kind of time. Maybe when my schedule starts to look clean, but I'll definitely see you through with this.

*PizzaPower* · 01-20-2004, 08:01 PM

cool!!! Thats sounds off the shell but awsome!

*damnhooligan* · 01-21-2004, 02:14 AM

I have to keep my head from exploding every time someone mentions "cavemen". Yeah, maybe it's just the Anthropology major in me, but cavemen never existed. Neanderthals and early human ancestors never dwelled in caves. Meh.

But then again, comics need not be 100% believeable (case in point: mutant ninja f***ing turtles). I'd like to see what you guys do with this. It holds much promise.

*Brodie* · 01-21-2004, 02:48 PM

I say "Cavemen" for the fact that it's easier than typing out Neanderthals each time. And there's not anything to do with caves, so I think you should be ok with a no-go on the head-explodie.

Page 4 being inked now.

*Brodie* · 01-26-2004, 09:17 PM

Haven't been around much, but I've been consistantly working on the comic, I'm nearing the end of the Neanderthal section, and planning the 'Samurai Wars.'

Keep me posted if you get any ideas.

When are you gonna start scanning it and showing it to us? I need to see more art from you!

*Brodie* · 01-27-2004, 05:27 PM

Well, I left my binder with the portfolio pages in my girlfriend's locker last week, and with the amount of snow days and this being a midterm week (One good thing about being a junior is that I have no midterms) I haven't been able to snag it. But I have classes friday (maybe), so maybe saturday morning or late friday.

I might be able to scan some pages tonite, and make a teaser, but I'm kinda drained.
