Comic
Once upon a boring afternoon at an internship during a break I had an idea. An idea for a story, it turned out to be really short and simple story. But people seemed to like it when I showed it to them. Some even wanted more. So I wrote more, even those hit on. But there was one problem. I couldn't keep my attention at writing them long enough, and most of the jokes were very visual. Add to that the fact that I was, and am, a great fan of webcomics. The idea to make it into a webcomic came naturally.
There was only one major drawback in this plan of great awesomeness. I couldn't draw properly for the love of me. Well, I could draw plain things, but nothing I myself would bother reading as a webcomic. So the first idea was getting an artist. There was only one problem, I had certain ideas and standards. And I wasn't going to let just anybody draw my comic. There was at first one person I could trust enough with this task. The only problem was that his life suddenly became very busy, leaving little time for drawing. So then at some point I resolved, if I want to get this done, I'll have to do it myself.
Which I did, with help of that friend, books, online tutorials, and determination, I set out to learn how to draw. Granted, I haven't succeeded but I'm still trying. The comic was basically in procrastination limbo. Mainly because I didn't feel confident enough to draw the comic yet. But at some point I broke that barrier and drew a comic. It didn't look great, but it didn't look bad either. So I decided to start anyway, and hopefully my skill will improve as I go along.
Of course an interesting question you have is, 'are the characters based on real people?'. The answer is simple, yes. But only three of them. Nismo, Shazram, and Aydoo are based of off real people. Are they anything like the real deal? Not really. For the greater part they've been exagerated incredibly. Though there is some hint of truth to the matter. Which that is however, I'm not telling.
