Scripts

Just finished writing my first comic script. There were other attempts but this is the first one that I actually finished and was at least a smidgen happy with the turn out.

Never been the best with names...
I made the language bilingual, leaning on English but with frequent touches of Tagalog. I'd set up a phrase or sentence in Tagalog then directly answer it or set up a direct (as possible) translation in the next line. Hopefully it gives it an extra bit of liveliness.

I wrote this while I was off on my "Uzamaki" high. Uzamaki being the magnum opus of the horror legend Junji Ito. I've been doing it on and off for at least nine months. Then comes the harder bit... refining and then drawing it. That comes later. For now, I rest and think my storytelling choices through.

A good many months to write one thing is a good amount of time to learn and drop things. Creatively, this is a Frankenstein of my different phases. The skeleton though, for the most part, was maintained from the first few versions of it. It's only my interpretation into its more comic-friendly format that's changed.

Pictures of the characters and some of the beasties tomorrow.
