who wants me to illustrate their story?

Post by Bamfette »

well? would you like me to illustrate your story in comic form? ;)

here's the catch. i am putting together a portfolio to mail to companies and bring to cons. i need several short stories! they should be written in comic script form, between 3 and 5 pages. peerferably silent but one 'talky' script is still needed to prove i can do talking heads and keep it interesting.

Crawler is already doing one for me, with Nightcrawler, and Stormwatch is doing a Stacy/Chamber buddy story for me, and i have a Spider-Man story from Marvel's website. but i need more! i probably wont use all the stories for every portfolio, but practice is practice and different stories will be better suited to different situations. Crawlers is a giant fight scene, SW's is comedy, i need one 'real life' story with no costumes no fights, no superheroics. i need a team story, and i need a 'talky' story....

Hey, I'm working from that Spider-man plot right now, too! Yeah, Mister Hyde! We should show them to each other when we finish, just to see how the other one conceived it.

I'd be happy to write a three-page (or were you looking for a six-page) plot for you! Maybe we could trade! I posted this over at the 'Workshop' at X-Fan but didn't get any responses: I just think it's valuable to work from someone else's plot because they won't be tempted to give you 'easy' stuff to draw. Writing your own plot, especially if you don't have much experience, is like playing tennis without the net! :D

Whatever, don't worry about it. I'd still love to write a couple plots for you. :D I'm happy to do any kind of plot ... team, humor, "ordinary folks", whatever. Just let me know what you need to flesh out your portfolio, and name the characters you want to use.

hmmm... i think i will try and do one for you, but no promises on quality :laugh: i think i would be most comfortable with a fight scene as that is very visual, my kinda thing. one of the few things i write well. (i used to write... i wrote damn well actually... i had 10 chapters of a novel finished. but i am sadly out of practice)

lets see. well since most everyone i have asked so far is an x-Men fan, i am getting a lot of X-Men stories thrown at me which is cool and all as i looove the X-Men, but i think it would be good to show a bit more diversity :laugh: so surprise me. writeme something non-x-men that i may even have to *gasp* research. batman, iron man, avengers, thor, wildcats, something completely made up, whatever, i don't care :p

Okay, will do. I'll e-mail the plot to you (it'll probably be 3-4 pages) by tomorrow at the latest. I'll surprise you with the subject... :)

thanks for the encouragement, I had fun working up this story! Boy, limiting it to 5
pages was a challenge! I have a new respect for the writers and artists who do this for a living. ;)
