Angie Adventure – Little Elf in big Pond of Drama, The Comic Industry USA

Not Easy being Create…

This week is one of those week when things such does not go as plan. I had some personal life stuff happen this week that have made it hard to stay focus on create new content. Mostly it is people that got in the way. This had happen to me a few time that I know it is the price for trying something new. Any time when you are trying to start your own business or working on a new project at work, there will be a few that just does not want to see you be successful at it.

When this happen, I allow myself to be flexible and broken my own rules. Just like I say that I would have new design for my sale by Monday, I just decide to delay it a little bit. It is not like I am a large company or have a large follower base right now so I could get away with that kind of stuff. Plus I did not give myself time off in between working on my part time job and working on my business which I am bad at.

However, I did get an awesome artwork of Angie, my main character from my comic series Angie’s Adventures, done. It is a picture of her if she were in school. I believe this picture will give you a little look into what kind of personally she will have.

Finding Inspiration/ How Do You Find Inspiration?

The video is a update on my business. I have been working a couple of part time job to make up for the missing income and for better camera equipment for more videos. I will be making video for online courses. However, right now I am looking for better video editor software. The current software program I have is not able to do what I want it to do. I want to be able to make fast speed video of me painting on canvas. I want to be able to show you my progress. It have been a learning progress figure out how to make that happen.

Also in the video I take about how I was inspired to make more traditional art from my comics series Angie’s Adventures. I feel like I have a lot of ideas for new painting ever since I starting working on comics.

Angie Adventure Continues

Meet Lynn, she is a changeling that is part hag (witch) and sea serpent. Due to the fact that she is part sea serpent, she is nocturnal. She is a orphan. While growing up, she was move from one foster home to next. The most kind person would get so frustrated with her and end up giving up on her. However, one day a female assassin came thought the village that Lynn was living in and heard about the rumor say about Lynn. Lynn foster mother was dragging Lynn by the arm out of the orphan home and yelling at Lynn. The assassin saw this and punish the woman in the face. The assassin say to Lynn, “How would you like to become an assassin?” Lynn fast asleep say, “mmhmm…sure..”

When I was coming up with this character, I was remember what school was like with trouble kids. In fact, I was a trouble kid from time to time. Most of the problems we see in school is because kids have trouble fitting in with our society rules. However, some problems are not the kid fault at all. They just need someone to meet their needs instead of trying to have the kid fit their need. I enjoy writing fiction because their are author that I think are genius at getting people to listen to their view on the world. For example, Frankenstein written by Mary Shelley. It was a political message to the people of her day but in a way that was fun. I am hoping that I could do the same but with comic books. I am a visual learning and know how hard it is to stick to something that does not have pictures. So I hope that I could reach people who have simple learning style as myself.
