Comic Brainstorming, Brainstorm Comicing

We've already kinda got a thing like this in googledocs, but maybe it would be more popular in a forum setting. I mean, maybe people will be more likely to contribute if they see a thread with a high postcount, instead of a slowly growing google doc.

Here's the brainstorming around the central idea "[DKO] Late-Nite." Which sort of expands upon or at least follows the same thematic idea as nick's "Late-Night" comic things. Read at your own will.

Please don't be intimidated by that. Post whatever ideas you feel like. They don't need anything to do with the above, it's just what I've got so far. You never know what might catch.

July 18? Damn we're slow. Well, there is all this college getting in the way, to be fair...

Anywho, I'm making up a scene based on this to use as an animatic project for my graphic storytelling class. I'll show people when I'm done (which'll be in less than two weeks). If you want to write me a scene of like :30 - 1:30 then that would be awesome, otherwise I'm gonna write it myself. I'm thinking I'll do one of the "hey, wake up. now we're driving somewhere" scenes.

I wouldn't mind writing something. :30 - 1:30? That's not very long, but would work perfectly for an "intro" scene or some such. Could be pretty cool.

The thing with Paul and TIm never went anywhere after that first meeting, but I can scrounge together their drawings and throw them up here for refs I guess.

see, at least I posted all my sketches of dko characters on my DA. Actually...would just un-awesomeizing them work?

Ionno, the way things seemed we were kinda taking this a different direction. I mean, it's the same cast technically, but there were stylistic changes, and what with it being more a "slice of life" thing than a circus of world-shattering badassery, folks wanted to add more nuance and personality and all that other writefag vomit. Just kidding - About the hating character development part, not the 'people wanted character development' part.

At any rate, there weren't any moogles this time around. Nobi was a real person, and I think they all had names other than their tags, though I'll be buggered to remember what they were.

All in all though; it'd probably be better if you drew up character sketches anyway, we'll be better off with more reference material at any rate. My main problem was wanting to give people some say over how their characters looked/acted, and nobody was giving me a hand. They all wanted to see how Tim and I thought they should look/act. So if you draw pictures, and I write bios, and then people bitch and complain at us until we 'fix' them, it'll look like something got done!

Freakin' yay! \._./

that's what I came up with without writing anything. Shows promise? with a script the dubing (and script) would be better.

Also, people are lazy, so they're more likely to try and fix something if we just put up some pisantry. but yeah.

All right, not bad.

Nice job with the voices, though. I wasn't expecting dialogue when I heard "intro-sequence." Is that one of the requirements, or...?

I'll see to working up a script...

I think I just do better when I'm working dialouge. kinda. Besides, I didn't have any ideas otherwise, and I didn't feel like killing my self trying to edit together ONLY ambient noises. At least with voices I brought in lincoln and flo and then had it ready in chunks.
