Snowflame 01 15

by julie on May 18, 2012 at 1:05 am

Hello again! First an ‘editorial’ note:

* Sorry if it seems like a cop-out that I didn’t pick out a particular department for SF’s alter ego to be from. Colombia has quite a bit of diversity and dinstinct dialects, so I suppose it shouldn’t be that hard for a langauge expert to figure out where Orosco to be from. I’m still doing some story-related research on that front… so that’s why its not too specific.

Let me know what you think of giving SF’s alter ego a name! I wasn’t sure if I should leave him nameless, worried that I couldn’t find a good name… but I think it’s not such a big deal, and doing so has really helped me visualize Fabian’s personality more clearly. Special thanks to @MarteaniArt and @NoelCT on Twitter for their help on making a final choice!

Also, tommorow I’ll be at SpringCon promoting the comic and selling some of my original works. I’ll post how it went, I hope people have lots of questions:D

Also, more tumblr extras soon!

Why no updates

I’m sorry for the lack of updates for the past week and a half. I’m crunching right now to make an art deadline. After the 31st, I’ll be back to work on more Snowflame pages, and they’ll be better than ever, (mostly because I’ve now figured out the perspective rulers in Manga Studio.)

Interview!!

Two posts ago I mentioned I was interviewed at MIX by Evan Pedersen of Fancy Pants Gangsters. All the interviews are here, nicely divided into categories so you can get a clear picture of the different types of artists who were there. I’m in part 7, “More Indie Than Indie.” The interview starts at about 6:00, and mention of Snowflame starts at about 7:30. Feast your ears on my dorky voice and Mr. Pedersen’s awe and disbelief at Snowflame’s existence! Find it here.

–other links mentioned–
Fancy Pants Gangster’s main site.
Song from the Raven Planet is here. (I have to fix the preview images.)
I know I linked it on the about(why?!) page, but again, the New Guardians #2 review mentioned is here.
My deviantart is here. Sorry, lots of ponies. :)

Comic Questions (Subject to Change)

Here is what I’m thinking for how the comic will work, format, continuity etc. I’m not iron-clad on most of this and am still doing some research of my options, and am willing to listen to people’s opinions, too.

Updates:
I’m sort of debating whether to stick to a certain day of the week schedule or not. I’d kind of prefer to have people know a page is up through twitter or RSS feeds. I’ve done the day a week on my first webcomic, and it really starts to feel like a grind. On podcasts, I’ve heard that it seems less like schedules matter now because of feeds and what not, so I’d like to try that. But feel free to yell at me if I’m wrong. (in text, not on skype:( wait no don’t do that either.)

Art:
Pages will be sized like traditional comic pages, but in black and white. Coloring isn’t an option for me right now since I’m writing and doing the art, but I may have a way to remedy this later.

Storyline:
It’s obviously just a separate fanon, but it will resemble the old DC more than the new 52. It takes place a few years after Snowflame’s original run-in with the New Guardians. And no, I’m afraid the story takes place in modern times, and not the 90s, as it perhaps would if it really happened a few years later, instead of like, 2.3 decades. Damn the 90s would be awesome though.

Minneapolis Indie Expo

I’m back and finally rested from the Minneapolis Indie Expo. It’s a newish (this was its second year) convention for independent comics in my area and was easily the most fun I’ve ever had at a con. Everyone was a blast to talk to and super nice. Thank you to everyone visiting the site because you got one of the flyers!

I sold a lot of mini-comics, but more importantly, passed out flyers for this comic! I was really floored by the extremely positive responses, and had fun telling people about the awesomeness of Snowflame. You’ll be able to hear a sample of this soon, as I got to participate in a quick interview by Evan Pederson from Fancy Pants Gangsters for their MiX coverage. They do a variety of shows on pop culture and other things they find amusing. I will post a link when their con coverage goes up.

Also, the comic was mentioned on the Paperdarts.org website in their convention report. They are an arts & literature magazine, publishing house, and they post lots of online content. Please check them out!

Site News:
Tommorrow I’ll make a quick post that outlines a little more of the format, update schedule, etc., that will happen for the comic.

Hey Kids!

That’s right, coming December of 2011, a certain cokehead is getting his own new series of adventures. And obviously, this is not for profit or endorsed by DC Comics. There will be more details and sketches after I finish things up with the website. Please subscribe to the RSS feed in the meantime.
