What Format Do You Prefer For Scripts?

Full-style, Marvel/Plot-style, screenplay style... What form of script do you prefer to work in? Did you get your favored style from someone else's scripts? I've been told repeatedly that there's no single insisted-upon script format in comics, and…

Devin Parker commented on Samuel Harris's blog post CCAS Review: Action Comics #1

"So I initially wrote a huge response to this review, but for the most part I was speaking based on what information the review presents and not my own reading of the material, so I deleted it. What my points boiled down to were: 1) I agree with you,…"

"Well, I don't mean to sound discouraging or unkind, but I don't think you're offering enough incentive for someone else to do the lion's share of the work while you put your name on the cover."

Devin Parker replied to geoff brenneman's discussion looking for artists letterer amd a scripter

"Aside from the idea, what are you contributing to the project?"

Devin Parker replied to Melody Kondrael's discussion Webmangas

"There are only about five or six schools in the U.S. (last time I checked, anyway) that offer it. The one I went to was Minneapolis College of Art and Design. And since all of my teachers had worked professionally in the comics market, they warned…"

Devin Parker replied to Melody Kondrael's discussion Webmangas

"I got my Bachelor's Degree in Comic Art. About half of that education consisted of dire warnings.

Doujinshi (at least, as I understand the term) are self-published manga, usually done by amateurs and using characters and settings others have made -…"

Devin Parker replied to Melody Kondrael's discussion Webmangas

"Any knowledge I have about these subjects comes largely from comics and gaming podcasts and the dire warnings of my teachers. ^_^

Out of curiosity, what sorts of webmanga are you interested in writing? I mean, there's the Silmarillion doujin, but…"

Devin Parker replied to Melody Kondrael's discussion Webmangas

"Re: "The Hunt for Gollum", Darths & Droids, etc. You're right - I had forgotten about those. I would assume that at least in the latter case, it might fall under use for parody or something, but I really don't know.

I may start looking through some…"

Devin Parker replied to Melody Kondrael's discussion Webmangas

"Yeah, that is true. I think you might be able to get away with it if it's only for portfolio purposes, and not published anywhere, but I'd need to investigate that to be sure. Public domain is certainly safest, in either case. Too bad about the…"

Devin Parker replied to Melody Kondrael's discussion Webmangas

"Oh, I just mean if I'm working from someone else's story, instead of writing my own, I feel like I'm somehow "cheating". Because I also write as well as draw, I have this feeling like I should be doing my own material all the time.

But you're…"

Devin Parker replied to Melody Kondrael's discussion Webmangas

"That's not a bad idea. I had originally decided to run with the medieval story I'm working on because it wasn't so precious to me. I have a list of stories I really want to do "someday, when I can do it justice," so I came up with this one precisely…"

Devin Parker replied to Melody Kondrael's discussion Webmangas

"I appreciate the vote of confidence!

I do have numerous flaws that I see in my own work which I admit do make me want to improve my skills before taking the next step. Of course, I know that the only way to improve my work is to produce more of it,…"

Devin Parker replied to Melody Kondrael's discussion Webmangas

"Hmmm... Let's see - most of my work is on DeviantArt, but I can put some stuff on Photobucket so you can see.

Here's some of my more recent work:
- Concept art for a video game
- A half-finished page from a recent (defunct) comic project
- Some…"

Devin Parker replied to Melody Kondrael's discussion Webmangas

"Thank you for all of the links! I'm eager to take a look at those.

I can't say where all of the Christian shounen artists might be, though I have an unfounded suspicion or two. I myself was actively discouraged by my Journalism teacher from…"

Hi ya, I know you like Christian comics so I know you'll love The Word for WORD Bible Comic, (Unabridged, historically accurate graphic novel of the Bible with a high view of scripture. For ages 15+)

To complete the first book I need your help, as I am raising funds on Kickstarter. My passion is to get God's Word in full into the hands of young believer and unbelievers and comic lovers of all ages, in the hope they will come to really know God. Please check it out at the KS page, it's going well but I still need lots of backers so I hope as a CCAS member you'll please pledge to support this project...

HI Devin,

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm Scott A. Shuford, one of the new Board members. I wanted to stop in and say thanks for being involved with CCAS! If you have any input or would like to be involved with anything in particular, please let me and Eric Jansen (Membership Coordinator for CCAS) know by contacting us both through the site. We'll be making several announcements in the coming weeks, so stay tuned. To see a bit more about me, check out my profile here on the site. I'm looking forward to getting to know you better.

Consider the words of C.S. Lewis:
"If there lurks in most modern minds the notion that to desire our own good and to earnestly hope for the enjoyment of it is a bad thing, I suggest that this notion has crept in from Kant and the Stoics and is no part of the Christian faith. Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling around with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at sea. We are far too easily pleased."

Hey Devin-I was so geeked after wizard con that I went on a writting spurt. I am doing a seven part series called "Chiyalim." It's a Hebrew word for solidier. I've got the first part done and am well into the second. It's based in 2107 when our society is controlled by drug companies. First drugs are legalized, then promoted, then required. The five main characters are based on the five offices-Pastors, teachers,evagnelist, prophet and apostles. I'd like to have the first two books and teaser for the third ready for next year. Can you reccomend any frelance artists?
Clint D.Johnson August 23, 2007 at 6:28pm

Hey Devin, How's it going? Yeah it's good to see you to. It's possible that you did lend me that book. It's been so long. I believe I have that book here . Just send me your mailing address and I'll send it to you.

Talk to you soon.
