More stuff

Hola All!
While it has been a sort-of while since I wrote last on this forum, I have not been idle. In addition to the two web comics I put out: E.I. (www.wunderman-comics.com) & Time Corps (www.time-corps.com), I had been adapting a screenplay by my personal trainer, Nate Noggle, into a comic book script at his request. I brokered the artwork, and later this week, the first four page web episode will make it's debut on the WEB. Of course, the journey from the typed words to images was not instant.
First was adapting the screenplay. I initially recommended after reading the source screenplay (which was 109 pages), that the comic be 48 pages. That did not occur as Noggle could only afford a 32 page comic, which triggered much storytelling sausage making. The comic script was written with a serial structure in mind (four page web episodes released every other week), which obviates a final image that has a degree of cliff hanger in it. Also required was the mashing up of separate dialogues into one (encounters between characters as well). Several other story tweeks happened as well (framing device at start and end of story, fleshing out the character of a couple of the baddies, etc.), and we have a script ready to send to the art team.

Next time: the experimental art method for Indestructible Will.
