  • Hey Josue,

     

    Thanks for sharing your work! I'll preface this by saying that I'm new to scripting as well, and trying to learn the ropes as I work on my first comic. Here's a few general thoughts on the script:

     

    (1) Overall I think you're off to a good start. I think your scripting format works well, and you give good information in your panel descriptions.I'm interested in what's going on, and where you're taking the characters.

     

    (2) In terms of the dialogue, I would suggest maybe breaking up some of the characters' speaking parts. I think some places you may want to consider doing this is with the kid's words in panel 2 of the first page, and some of Derek and Bret's speaking parts.

     

    (3) Make sure to edit the scripts for spelling and grammatical errors. Aside from the few spelling and punctuation issues, It seems like the word "not" may be missing from the panel 5 description on page 1 (i.e., should it read "trying not to get dragged by the monster?").

     

    Just a few thoughts. God's blessings on your comic, and I hope this helps.

     

    P.S. I find this very helpful when working on my scripts. I'm sure you will as well:

    Real Life/ Real Horror # 1 Excerpt
    Hello and God Bless, I'm writing a new comic, REAL life/REAL horror. Right now I'm still in a development stage, barely writing my first d...
  • Right now i am trying to get all of my stories in a "Treatment" type of organization.  That includes gathering all my notes out of my various writing journals, and all the stuff I have on my laptop, and get my stories together.  I like to cross genre's in my stories.  Usually, I like to have a secondary character be a Christian and have him/her lead by example and lead the main character to Christ or conversion--or even towards serious contemplation on why become a Christian.  They find out that the prayer, or life example of their friend, convinces them to either convert or not.  That is usually the secondary story line.  God is always the solution, but not everybody comes to the same conclusion.
  • Hello Paul, it's nice to meet you! What are you working on?
  • Hello to you all, I have joined the writers group hoping to share and commune with other Christian writers.  That sounds a little stiff.  It is not meaning to be.

     

  • Hello everyone,

    I just joined the group, and I look forward to connecting with folks sharing information/ideas about projects, as well the writing process. I'm new to this writing thing, so I'm looking for a solid support network.

     

    I'm currently working on two projects, one focuses on teenagers with unique abilities (Lightweightz), and the other is a collaboration with Earnest Graham (priest and graphic novelist) about the life of the Apostle Peter.

     

    You can learn more about the projects here: www.rsquaredcomicz.com. Take care and God bless!

  • Hey Penny, I'm the same way. In fact I always say I learned to draw so I could draw the stories I was making up! When I worked for Archie, we could submit our stories one of two ways. Either we could type it up in script format, or we could draw it out on copy paper. 98% of the time I chose drawing it out. I love to write but I also love to draw!
  • I don't know what you guys use to write your stories, but I found a great open source (i.e. "free") writing program called Celtx (www.celtx.com). It has templates for writing all kinds of stuff, from comic books to screen plays, and more. Just wanted to pass that along for whatever it's worth.
  • Just joined. Very excited to see and share on this site. I love to write and because I draw I always visualize my story. But I need help getting it started and hope to learn from here. :)

The Family Man

Hi, everybody:I had an idea for a story that runs along the lines of Nicholas Cage's movie 'The Family Man', which had the hero of the movie have a chance to see his life as it might have been if he had made other choices. I wanted to get a Christian perspective on the idea. Any thoughts? Thanks and God Bless.

Alternate Batman origins

Hi, everybody:I have an idea for a character, The Raven, who is a crimefighter in the same vein as Batman, a grim ruthless hunter of the night, though he's only in his late teens. Im a little lost on how to make him that mean without using the same origin, which I obviously don't want to do. Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks and God Bless.

I need help with a name.

Hi, everybody!Could anybody help me develop a name for a character? I have a character in mind for my Arabian Nights/ humor themed comic book. The type of character is the bully who won't come out and fight, but will instead scheme against and lie about the hero, while instigating others to fight them physically, sort of like Cliff Carmichael in the first run in Firestorm. He's arrogant, condescending and a coward, but you can't hit him without making it look like he's telling the truth.In my…
