I thought I’d better give a quick update on the production of my comic, Rip Current.
We’re well into production on the comic, and what a process… lots of decisions as to colouring, setting, character designs, page layouts, etc. It’s been really busy for me, and extra busy for the artists, who have to do a whole lot of work!
YES!! It is I, maria the dreamer a.k.a. carmen wright, winner of week 5 for Canada: Comic Creation Nation!!
The community of comic writers, artists and fans voted me in! This means my treasured story, Rip Current, will be produced as a 22-page colour comic and published online at the amazing Zeros2Heroes website.
Voting has begun for the Canada: Comic Creation Nation contest over at Zeroes 2 Heroes. The community is voting in a new comic a week, which will then go on to be produced and published online. They’ll do this until they run out of grant money, which will be a few months.
I’ve disappeared for a while. Been busy building a comic called Rip Current.
Rip Current is based on an idea I had years ago for an online serialized illustrated novel. It wasn’t that tough to imagine it as a graphic novel, but let me tell you, a whole lot tougher to actually put it together. Even my screenwriting background couldn’t quite prepare me for the process.
