Lewis said this when people asked him why he wrote books for children. This reminds me to keep in mind the origin of what I love most...drawing. Before I knew what Marvel or D.C. was, before I knew what a comic book, or super hero was, I drew pictures. I love drawing. I can't recall what I liked drawing the most, probably because I drew so much there is no way to remember. I drew all the time, with any tool that created a line on paper. <BR/><BR/>Amongst the contracts, negotiations, signings, failed projects, good and bad reviews, deadlines, tussles with editors and studio execs., 35 airports a year, the same convention halls over and over, and anything else that goes along with the professional artist label...it is easy for me to forget what I wanted to do this for. <BR/><BR/>I love drawing. <BR/><BR/>That's the end of it really. I love it. I love the kid that lives here no matter how many books I sell, or how much money I put in the bank. I need to remind myself to put away the childish "desire to be very grown up." and just put pencil to paper. I never used to need anyone to like what I drew. I didn't know to want it. I just wanted to turn a blank piece of paper into something, anything, just as long as it looked fun. An animal, a world that I have never seen, a twist on the world I have. Amongst all the things that have over shadowed that ideal, I have lost the child. <BR/><BR/>After hearing this quote, I wrote it down and pinned it on the bulletin board in front of my table. That's why these warm up drawings started happening. I always told myself I didn't have time to draw anything for fun, I had to work. But, like those parents who have kids and need to make time for them no matter what...I am reminding myself to do the same. <BR/><BR/>PLEASE GO TO SKOTTIE YOUNG'S BLOG AND COMMENT THERE <BR/><BR/>AND REMIND YOURSELF TO DO THE SAME <BR/><BR/>THANKXCOMIKXGUYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17079159786146685933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34727907.post-16615802976374688462007-07-13T09:10:00.000-07:002007-07-13T09:10:00.000-07:00SEE YA AT SDCC WHILCE!SDCC - 2 WEEKS AND COUNTING!...SEE YA AT SDCC WHILCE!<BR/><BR/><BR/>SDCC - 2 WEEKS AND COUNTING!COMIKXGUYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17079159786146685933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34727907.post-59449917221060752292007-07-02T22:51:00.000-07:002007-07-02T22:51:00.000-07:00ya know that would be an awesome option, it might ...ya know that would be an awesome option, it might help put more of a spotlight on WWCOMIKXGUYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17079159786146685933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34727907.post-78194262267895247972007-06-26T23:41:00.000-07:002007-06-26T23:41:00.000-07:00These covers are spectacular. The coloring on Mot...These covers are spectacular. The coloring on Mother is just... jaw-dropping. Especially on the face, and inside the whites of her eyes. That's phenomenal stuff. The gold looks quite polished, too.<BR/><BR/>I want a WetWorks video game. Perhaps a third-person action/adventure; or a first person shooter, using the plot from the WetWorks books, casting the game with characters familiar, possibly new, and a horde of badguys.<BR/><BR/>The genre blending of this book alone makes for a serious injection of originality in the first person shooter place of video games. Combining science fiction, horror, military and superheroics, this has the potential to be something amazing in the video game field. Especially if it was handled by folks that admire the source material, and have a desire to create a damned good video game.<BR/><BR/>The design work alone on the characters, the weaponry, the monsters and "villains" of the book, make such a ripe field for something like this.<BR/><BR/>Even just thinking about the possibility of multi-player gaming involving the host of characters and creatures from the comic book makes the potential for this to be something HUGE immense.<BR/><BR/>Unlike games like Halo where the difference between the human and alien characters is technically no different than a Mortal Kombat palate swap, here you have the potential to use basic humans, the WetWorks team, vampires, frenzied vampires, werewolves, and so much more that give the game a fighting game like set of endless possibilities.<BR/><BR/>Ever thought about looking into exploring this route?<BR/><BR/>Bests,<BR/>Dameyon.MadPowerBomberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03567692704983025425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34727907.post-40386189347670685632007-06-25T16:29:00.000-07:002007-06-25T16:29:00.000-07:00Nice stuff Whilce!
