Woot! Follow Up To “Make Your Own, Then!”

gailsimone:

Very exciting!

A wonderful Tumblr poster has started a Tumblr devoted to posters who aspire to create comics of some kind.

Artists and writers can post their work and ideas, and posters can keep up with their progress. This is a great opportunity, but it needs participants, and some signal boosting, so please spread the word about:

http://makeyourownthen.tumblr.com/

The idea here is not to replace or denigrate fanfic or fanart, the idea is simply to get people connected and exposed, where people can encourage each other and share ideas and tips.

And hopefully, some people will end up making comics of some kind together.

Very exciting.

I don’t want to butt in, but my advice is start small, beware of scope creep, be aware of the medium you are using, and take full advantage of the viral nature of Tumblr.

Good luck! Spread the word!

:D

So tempted to put something up. I’ve had a little Calvin and Hobbes-esque idea / series of ideas I’ve wanted to do visually for absolutely ages.

With two of my original characters (Kenichi, 5 yrs old, half-Elf, hyper in the extreme and Ash, 13 yrs old, Seer, blind, more than a little unteathered from reality) and their obsession with finding all the usages of peanut butter. Like making towers of cookies, sticking things to walls, sculpting, and of course the infamous peanut butter in the dryer incident that shall never be forgotten.

I just have to make it mildly coherent first.

Either way \o/ for someone creating this! :D
