4 5 and 6...

on


Here's pages 4, 5 and 6 of Ronin Dogs. I'm up to page 13 penciled and inked now. I really just wanna get this finished. My confidence in it is waining so I really wanna finish.

I also got big plans for the next part. I'm gonna try the next part in landscape. I think this will suit my style a lot more. I love big wide screen shots (like a film) so I think it'll look really cool. I also think I'll be more likely to do big one page panels, which I never feel confident about doing in portrait.

Also, the more I think about what I want to do with Ronin Dogs the more I think that it would suit a web based comic. I kind of see it as like an ongoing story rather than episodes. They're episodes right now as I figure shit out and learn more. I think I could do like 2 pages coloured a week. I think that would be good. Anyway it's all just ideas at the moment. Don't wanna get too ahead of myself.

If you're gonna do it as an ongoing webcomic, I think the best way to do it, and make it so that it'll be more enjoyable to read, because talking to people we've come to the same conclusion that a story based webcomix isn't a good read. It's to time consuming. It's more fun and more compelling if each page is more a short story itself, like it's something you can read at any point, and it still be interesting, and funny. Story comix just aren't as interesting and tend to just drag on, they're more suited in print. Online it's good to read them all as either episodes per page, or in segmants like how FA does it, except their cliffhangers have been sucking lately on there. So yea... it has to be thought out I think.

Excellent, is that a Jemaine Clement bounty hunter?

Please please please don't lose confidence in this as, honestly Mark, everything works in this comic. I've never seen your style look so polished; the toning you've used is perfect and the pacing is great. I really think you should submit this to either Oni or SLG when you've got a good chunk of it done. I also mean to write a comment on your last DA journal as I've been through the exact same thing. I know it's easy to say but from where I'm sitting, you have everything going for you as an artist; you're technically skilled, your style is very individual and the humour is fantastic. We all have our doubts as artists (pronounced arteeests!) but I think you are overly hard on yourself. I hold much (good natured) envy towards you and your work and hate to see you flogging yourself when you need not do. It's good that you constantly learn from things you consider shit, but you're a lot more "there" than I think you realise.

Sorry for the ramble; you are ace, mate. Keep going and drown that little voice of doubt in the bath and then burn it's body in the garden, preferably in your pants under the moon whilst chanting. Belive me, it helps! :P
