Away from DA but with Good Reason!!

Journal Entry: Mon May 13, 2013, 7:03 PM


:star: Quick Word & Update

Hey gang!

I'm really sorry for being away from DA these last couple of weeks but I've been really busy with the Lost Kids. Now that the art is all done, I'm doing all the Lettering and as you know, that's over 200+ pages.

Good news is that four issues are totally completed leaving only three more to go. The Lost Kids will be all done by the end of the month!

Thanks for sticking with me all this time and I hope we all make you guys very happy with this comic series.

Back to work now!

:star: How to Write Your Own Comic

Finally I got some time to sit down and work on a new article. This one is about breaking up your story in panels and how that is a collaborative effort between the writer and artist since it's key to the narrative of the book.

Check it out at Writing 302: Action in PanelsYou may think this is solely up to the illustrator of the book but in fact it's actually a shared responsibility between writers and pencillers.

Camera Angles and Storytelling through Panels

As a writer it's your job to define the pacing and flow of the page and how your story will reach the readers. The artist's job is to take those directions, execute them as best as he can and apply his vision on top of the writer's. It is a collaborative effort and that's why writers and artists have to keep a constant communication.

Drawing a pin-up is one thing, telling a story through pictures is something else entirely. All your choices have weight

:star: Have you worked on the Lost Kids?

It's exciting to see writers getting their due credit within the Comic Book industry as of late. It's funny but for a long time people seemed to forget that a good comic book story starts with, well, a story and not the artwork per se.

The artwork takes the story and transforms it into something magical and involving (in most cases) but ultimately people read comics for the words. And because writing is something accessible to everyone, people naturally assume it is not that hard, that anybody can do it, or that drawing is a lot harder by comparison.

I won't get into much detail on what's harder because one form of art can't live without the other in this medium, they are equally important but if you are a Writer without any art skills whatsoever, what do you do?

Not much to do.... you have to find artists willing to collaborate with you and hope the partnership works out. Most companies do not take Writing Samples as opposed to Art ones. We certainly don't have portfolio reviews at Comic Conventions either.

It's ironic that I have seen SEVERAL artists rant about either getting paid too little or not at all to work on a fellow aspiring comic book professional's comic and they are not wrong to do so, the least they should do is get paid for their time and talent but how about looking through the glass and seeing what's really going on the other side?

Well, I will tell you what's on the other side, that's an aspiring writer spending every cent he can spare to pursue a dream much like an artist's. We all want to find our places in the sun working for the big companies and the cool characters of the industry and like I said, I don't know which is harder, draw/color or write but I will tell you this: getting our foot on the door is much harder for writers, nobody reads texts these days so our only shot is spending money (a lot of it) to fund our very own comics.

Artists: remember that the next time you get involved in an independent comic book, you might complain about the pay, but the people on the other end can't even complain about that. We are all struggling and we should do that together.

I have the utmost respect for artists, I love working with them and seeing what they can do with so much as a pencil or a brush but sometimes I really feel under appreciated, certainly undervalued as a writer and as someone funding their own good comic book title, giving artists a chance to better their crafts and working professionally on a comic title. 

Among several challenges, I have had more deadline problems than I can count, having to ask for re-dos or major touch-ups because artists didn't even care enough to read the screenplay, I had to stay on top of little details or even having to replace team members because better offers came up, the list goes on and on.

Getting the Lost Kids made was an herculean task, which I hope the team will look back at it and be proud of being a part of, and especially be thankful they helped a dream come true. If might not have been their dream but a dream nonetheless and they should value that and they should value the comic book they worked on. 

If you helped the Lost Kids in any way, be proud and thankful, you were part of something special and not just something that meant a few bucks on your pocket at the end of the day. As we get ready to launch the comic, I sincerely hope all of you realize this has been quite the experience and this book is your reward, not the money.

Regardless of how you feel about the Lost Kids, know that I am very grateful you were a part of it, none of this would ever be possible without your involvement and from the bottom of my heart, my most sincere THANK YOU.

:star: And the last page of the comic book...

Well, I'm very happy to announce that the last page of the comic is getting delivered this week, it's the end of a journey and yet just the beginning of another.

Now comes the release, marketing, distribution, etc and I must admit this next step scares me the most. In the upcoming weeks I will be announcing any progress we make on that front, hopefully I will have DeviantArt in my corner which would make everything a lot easier, I sincerely hope to reach out to them.

DA has been an amazing place to develop my comic book, gotta be thankful for this amazing community and platform and everyone involved, here's to have their continuing support! :w00t::beer:

And the best news is that all the pencil work for the Lost Kids has been completed, leaving only less than ten pages to get the full color treatment to wrap up this sweet comic books series!

I can't wait to share the Lost Kids with you and get your feedback, your thoughts about it, critiques and hopefully some praise too. We're now very close to the launch, I hope some of you guys are still with us as we approach the end of this long journey.

I know some of you have been waiting to check out the Lost Kids and I'm finally in a position to say you won't have to wait much longer.

:iconmarvelmania: is currently drawing the last two pages of the whole comic and :iconclonerh::iconmeeks-oddities: are coloring the last ten pages and that's it.

I have already started to letter all those 200+ pages and will then focus on the release, both digitally and in print. If there's anybody out there with some advice to share, I would love to hear it.

Marketing and the launch of the Lost Kids is something very scary to think of!! I also posted another sneak peek, here you go:

Hey guys!

I might not update here too often but I'm always posting sneak peeks and little bits of my work flow on Instagram so follow me over there if you're interested.

@felipecagno

In between Lost Kids posts, I usually put up some movie posters of what I'm watching at the moment and why I'm watching it, as a screenwriter I'm always studying up references or whatnot, there is also the usual geek posts ;)

Hope to see you guys there!

Cheers!

:star: How to Write Your Own Comic

Finally I got some time to sit down and work on a new article. This one is about breaking up your story in panels and how that is a collaborative effort between the writer and artist since it's key to the narrative of the book.

Check it out at Writing 302: Action in PanelsYou may think this is solely up to the illustrator of the book but in fact it's actually a shared responsibility between writers and pencillers.

Camera Angles and Storytelling through Panels

As a writer it's your job to define the pacing and flow of the page and how your story will reach the readers. The artist's job is to take those directions, execute them as best as he can and apply his vision on top of the writer's. It is a collaborative effort and that's why writers and artists have to keep a constant communication.

Drawing a pin-up is one thing, telling a story through pictures is something else entirely. All your choices have weight

This is a really cool initiative from Marvel, starting today until next Tuesday (03/12) Marvel is giving away every single #1 issue from their digital library, that's over 700 comics.

All you gotta do is access either the Marvel App or Comixology, that's it. Bear in mind though that the servers are not really handling the demand well so expect delays and download errors.

:star: Artist Feature

From time to time I plan on doing simple features of my favorite artists out there.

This time I would love to show Luis Figueiredo how grateful I am for his involvement with the Lost Kids. We became friends through DA when the Lost Kids crew was complete but as life gets in the way and some guys opted to not continue their paid work on the comic, Luis stepped in to save the day, and more than once I might add.

A terrific artist with great vision and creativity, I sincerely think Luis excels at the amount of detail he puts in every panel, just check out his page at :iconmarvelmania: and some samples below:



:star: Lost Kids Status Update

UPDATE:

:bulletred: Issue #1 - COMPLETE

:bulletred: Issue #2 - COMPLETE

:bulletred: Issue #3 - COMPLETE

:bulletred: Issue #4 - Luis jumped on board to wrap up the book and deliver you some amazing environmental work, Meek is currently coloring the last few pages.

:bulletred: Issue #5 - COMPLETE

:bulletred: Issue #6 - Since Ivan was unable to finish the book for personal reasons, Luis graciously stepped forward once again and has taken over the line work, to be colored by Clonerh. This is the last issued being worked on.

:bulletred: Issue #7 - Eddy is putting the finishing coloring touches on the pages, but otherwise this is also pretty much done.

:star: Awesome message from Stephen Silver

You MUST watch this if you are an artist of any medium. The guy has a point, he has every right to rant about it and everyone on DA should listen to Stephen.

DO NOT GIVE YOUR ART FOR FREE

I always made a point of paying everyone involved with the Lost Kids unless they very politely and kindly presented me with a pin-up or something because we had a good friendship or professional relationship.

But every single page of the comic book was paid for because that's what is fair. Don't put yourself out there working for "future profits", that most likely means you will get nothing.

Value your art, respect your talent and others will do the same.

Sure, you can do something for your friends and get involved in a project because you believe it in the cause, whether it's charity or out of friendship but if people offer you work, make sure to get paid.



:star: THANK YOU!!

I also would like to take the opportunity to thank all the new watchers that so kindly put me on their radar, adding me to their Watch List.

:star: How to Write Your Own Comic

Finally I got some time to sit down and work on a new article. This one is about breaking up your story in panels and how that is a collaborative effort between the writer and artist since it's key to the narrative of the book.

Check it out at Writing 302: Action in PanelsYou may think this is solely up to the illustrator of the book but in fact it's actually a shared responsibility between writers and pencillers.

Camera Angles and Storytelling through Panels

As a writer it's your job to define the pacing and flow of the page and how your story will reach the readers. The artist's job is to take those directions, execute them as best as he can and apply his vision on top of the writer's. It is a collaborative effort and that's why writers and artists have to keep a constant communication.

Drawing a pin-up is one thing, telling a story through pictures is something else entirely. All your choices have weight

We have 200 pages complete out of 230, we are getting there, the series is almost 100% done after a very long and hard road.

Please take a second to help out with this Poll, just click on the link below and tell me if you would buy the Lost Kids and what format would you prefer.

Is there a reason only the best artists can submit art to the Lost Kids fanclub? I thought the purpose of fanart was to show your appreciation for something. =(
