Description Lately I have been thinking about creating a graphic novel of my own, based on some ideas I've been harvesting for the past years; but I haven't really gotten to it because I was afraid the technique was way too complicated for me to try (I'm still going for that). However, at last I decided to give it a try putting together some random sketches, inspired on the characters (basically two) from both True Blood and Legend of the Seeker, and see how it turned out. Still, I don't think I am "comic" material.

I have been meaning to put these together for a very long time, kinda hoping to come out with some sort of graphic novel based on some ideas I had. Let's see what comes outta this!
Again, thanks so much for leaving a comment, I truly appreciate it.

Wow, un trabajo genial! y por lo que veo, producto iberico que no suele abundar por aquí.
La verdad es que es una idea estupenda lo de la novela gráfica aunque, como bien dices, si dibujas con esta calidad podría ser muy laborioso pero el resultado sería impresionante.
De cualquier modo, me alegra que mi reciente gusto por dibujar a Mr. Northman me haya permitido encontrar tu página. Una galería genial y de una calidad poco común (además, a mi también me encanta Spartacus ) así que bienvenida a mi deviant watch. Espero ver más trabajos tuyos pronto.

ladarkfemme In reply to artisticartery [2011-06-29 09:43:31 +0000 UTC]

Muchísimas gracias!! Ese es mi problema, que yo quería intentar hacer algo mucho més esquemático, menos detalle, menos sombra, pero al final me ha salido ésto. Debe ser que estoy ya demasiado acostumbrada al claro-oscuro. De todas formas, no descarto seguir trabajando en esta idea hasta que consiga buenos resultados.
Me alegra que Mr. Northman te haya ayudado a llegar aquí, y que sepas que dentro de muy poco subiré un retrato que tengo pendiente del vampiro nórdico.
Muchísimas gracias por añadirme a tu deviant watch!
GRACIAS!!

De nada! Siempre es un placer encontrarse con aristas con un talento como el tuyo.
A mi sobre todo me gusta trabajar con bolígrafo (también me gusta jugar con las posibilidades que ofrece el contraste claro-oscuro) y últimamente ando dibujando a Eric en cuando tengo un rato libre; el último dibujo creo que lo subí a mi galería ayer precisamente.
En fin, espero ver el tuyo pronto. Un saludo!

It doesn't have the feel of a typical superhero comic, but I can see it work as a graphic novel.

Thank you so much. My idea wasn't even that of a superhero comic kinda thing, more like some story made a graphic novel, let's see how this turns out, I'm not very confident, though.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!

No, I haven't posted it anywhere, it's sort of embarrassing for me because I have never been the "writing type", but once I get this graphic novel going forward, I'll probably have it posted.

As long as the butler isn't the killer, I wouldn't worry.

ladarkfemme In reply to billiejeanthrillkill [2011-06-29 10:39:44 +0000 UTC]

LMAO!!! The killer butler!!! That one "killed" me! I'll try to be a lil' bit more creative than that, although Agatha Christie's stories have ruined my capacity of imagining a better scenario than an angry butler who poisons his landlords, not before making sure he's been included in their last will In that case I would inevitably have to add a new character, a short, French guy with a moustache that goes by the name of... Hercule something?? Let's say... Poirot? Yeah, I guess that'd work out just fine, something totally fresh and new

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

billiejeanthrillkill In reply to ladarkfemme [2011-06-29 23:37:04 +0000 UTC]

In doubt, make the butler a secret ally of his landlord's rival's sister, the classic femme fatale, who secretly tries to take over said landlord's possessions and reveal the butler as her long lost twin brother... Or something similar chaotic. At least, no-one can say 'I saw it coming' if no-one can really follow it.

ladarkfemme In reply to billiejeanthrillkill [2011-06-30 00:31:43 +0000 UTC]

Wowww!! You know, that's actually a fabulous idea, I hadn't considered the "femme fatale" thing and the twin brother theme, just blew my mind away, I'm actually taking notes right now! And don't worry 'cause if I ever get that story going, I'll include you in the credits, top line and capitol letters!! Thanks so much for your input!

O.o The idea is good for something? Awesome! I'm not really a crime writer, but I do love political and diplomatic affairs with a lot double crossing, so if you're doing something like a spionage or cold war scenario, I'm happy to help.

ladarkfemme In reply to billiejeanthrillkill [2011-06-30 10:33:20 +0000 UTC]

I too love that kinda scenarios, basically those are what I love the most, give you endless possiblities to play with, and you can always come up with something brand new to add. So, when I get this story going, mind you because I might ask for ideas!! LOL

billiejeanthrillkill In reply to ladarkfemme [2011-06-30 10:52:06 +0000 UTC]

Not a problem, I'm probably a better writer than anything (though it doesn't stop me from trying, lol). Spionage, double agents, politics in general has so many options where to go with a story! Plus, I don't really like writing 'slang' or everyday language. Having politicans, diplomats and or high roller characters lets me write a more formal or high brow style in dialogues, without looking out of place. I don't think I could write, let's say, a highschool story, where dialogues go like "yo dude wussup". ^^

ladarkfemme In reply to billiejeanthrillkill [2011-06-30 18:06:51 +0000 UTC]

Me neither, I don't think I could ever include slang in any writing. Although I've said that "writing" is not my strong suit, let's say that I get writer's block when I get down to it, but it's all in my head, and there's no way I could imagine any of my characters using the words "dude" or any other slang whatsoever. I'd rather use a much more polished language, in my opinion, it enriches the dialogues.

billiejeanthrillkill In reply to ladarkfemme [2011-06-30 18:11:36 +0000 UTC]

My main problem would be to come up with a highschool plot that wouldn't bore me to death while writing it, so I never tried to write such dialogues. ^^

ladarkfemme In reply to billiejeanthrillkill [2011-06-30 19:26:02 +0000 UTC]

I totally hear you. Right from the start I knew I didn't want my story to go down that path, basically because I cannot picture it for all the aforementioned reasons. Noir, suspense, even a lil' bit of sci-fi, that's definetly what I enjoy reading the most, and hopefully hat I will get to write down soon.
