From Idea to comic
So as I said in my last blog I am in the process of writing a comic book, This is not an easy process. When I had the Idea it seemed that with in a few weeks it would be up and running and every thing would be grate. This was not the case.
To have an idea is one thing, but to get it to a place where people would read it is some thing else. I must point out that I can't draw for shit , this was a problem for me as no one wants to read a comic drawn by some one who draws like a 10 year old ....... Lucky for me I had a friend that could draw who became my partner. This then began the 10 year long process that is still on going today.
My friend and I worked on the comic for a year or so but never really committing to an idea and so never really gave it the time it need, so the idea died away for a good few years and I thought The best buds would never get made.
One day I was talking to a friend who was asking about what happened to The best buds comic as he thought it was a good idea and still would be worth making. so I contacted my old uni friend and we started work on the new best buds, For awhile this was working well an we even got a comic made ( that is on the old site still ) however dew to time problems we had to once more stop production on the comic. by this time I was ready to give up.
Now it's funny in life that some times you meet people that just fit into your life and what you want to do. I was at a bar for a friends birthday party when I was introduced to her brother, we spoke for awhile about weed and what types we liked and such , he then told me that he was friends with a guy that owned 10 head shops and was looking for away to increase their online reach , I told him about The Best buds comic I had been working on and that was that. About 5 days latter I got an email from the company asking to have a meeting with me about The best buds and how it could work with their company.
By this point my friend from uni could not work with us any more , so now we had a way to get the comic out to people but no one to draw it ....... to fix this I took to the internet to find an artist that could deliver the quality that we needed to take The best buds to the next level , after looking over a lot of different artists we found one from Costa rica.
Now every thing is in place for us to make the best comic we can. If any one reading this wants to make a comic for them self's i would say that you need to be ready for the long evolution process that your idea will undertake , but most of all you got to have fun with it as if it's not fun for you then it's not worth doing.
Below you can see the Evolution of one of our main characters that has taken place over the years...... :-)
