for myself

i want to start my own comic strip. i think i have enough skill to sustain it now. i used to make one in highschool, but i didn't have interest to keep it going. heck, i didn't even finish one chapter. i have no plot, no storyline, no subordinate characters, no time, and not enough interest. end result: a comic strip that's barely half-done.

maybe it might help if i write down here... hhhhmmm.....
*thinking*......*thinking some more*
i don't know how to make a separate section for it... besides, i want to research on it more. anyhow, i have several themes in mind - which i will base the plot of the story, along with character descriptions (which is a lot easier to define...). i'll allocate a whole article for it next time - complete with world description (i may have to create a world of my own) and character description (so they would have a permanent identity. i will not change that once it's written). *procrastinating*

let's see what i need for it:
a sketch pad.
a good pencil.
a good eraser.
a scanner.
photoshop.

i have four out of five. damn...

what else?
some facts i can incorporate into the story. (i.e. explanations on certain things like character abilities, historical basis as a result of some consequences for the storyline. that kind of stuff...)
a theme. (the setting, universal concepts and the like)
a plot. (like those you see in telenovelas, minus the cheesy parts and the pathetic twists)
sub-characters. (enemies to fight to make them stronger, allies that are non-violent, perhaps some elders/teachers or stuff like that)

that's all i got so far. i'll start drawing maybe this coming weekend. hope it turns out good. one chapter is all i ask... we'll see what happens after that. release date is the end of october. --> good luck, pal!
