I wanted to try something different, so I created a horror comic book. I wasn't sure if it would be something that I would enjoy making so I made it based on my very popular short film, "Hunter." The main reason was I still had the animation files so there was nothing that needed to be created and I could easily change the camera angle for the different panels.
I found I truly did enjoy working on this project and I plan to make many more. Already working on my second issue and writing some limited series comics. It is very exciting and I am learning as I go. Already putting what I learned into practice with the next issue.
I highly enjoyed making short films but the one thing that I didn't like was the characters in a short are pretty flat. You can't get into deep character devolpement in a short film because that would make it too long. You have to get to the point. A short film is completely story driven and not character driven.
I enjoy writing stories that are more focused on the characters as they go on their journey. I was able to do these type of stories in the few novels I wrote. With the comic book medium I can now get back to that type of story telling.
You might ask, Why didn't I make a full-length film that would be character-driven? The answer to that is simple. Not enough time. Besides acting, I do everything involved in my short films, which takes a considerable amount of time. As I attempt to build my website, YouTube channel, and Patreon page, I have come to understand, from everything I've read and watched on the subject, that I need to produce content fairly quickly.
Believe it or not, I was able to complete this issue at a quicker rate than making a short film. True, it will take longer when I have to create the characters, settings, and props needed to tell the story, but I think it will be worth it, as I will be able to tell my story with extensive character development.
The plan is to create several issues of my limited series at once and then release them monthly. I am excited about the prospect. This may be a new route for Four Sides of Cross Productions. Only time will tell.
So my first issue will come out on June 12th on Amazon. Once I have the link, I will add it to this post, so be sure to come back on the 12th to get your copy. I am planning to have a PDF version available for my "Knower" level Patreons this week.
Be sure to become a Patreon for loads of content and behind-the-scenes podcasts. I'm planning a live event soon. Now that will be interesting.
Until that day, God bless, and may all your nightmares be memorable.
