Hello, all, and welcome to the first ever C3 Conference. There's a plenthora of announcements to be made this year, from future plots, to new graphics, and not to mention the return of several old series that many have been waiting for.
Also, just as a note: I realized that I released this a little late here on BZP. So, for this year only, we're going to further extend the deadline to the last day of the conference: Thusday, July 22nd, 2010. The reason is that many people heard about it too late to create an entry. Thus, I'm giving them a little leave time to do so. Again, this was only because I released everything so late, however, once the conference is over, it's over, so get in your entries quick.
So, without further ado, let's start on the first exhibits:
Yes, Kanohi of Comedy is also at the C3. I, Chosen One of Bionicle, author of this series, have prepared a nice amount of previews, glimpses of upcoming projects and changes to the series, as well as a few story spoilers, together with an important announcement at the end of this article.
1.) The Third Dimension
I had to find out while making the last few comics that converting my imagination to a .png file is harder than expected. My old Fireworks+Paint method will not work on this. My skills of making authentic backgrounds and characters are limited. Sprites are no longer enough for me. So I have decided to go a step further:
For real now, I'm experimenting with a 3D program called Cinema 4D, which I was able to obtain. Now you probably want to see the fruits of my labor.
I will experiment with 3D images further. In a hopefully not to distant future, this will be the standard of every comic.
2.) The Vectors
Until I am able to master 3D, however, I plan to do a temporary “bridge” between sprites and 3D:
Vector Art
Turaga and Toa bodies will be done later.
Note, all of this is still experimental. It's the WIP of a prototype. Changes will be made in the future. You will see the final result in future comics.
3.) The Story
Yes, the story. The plot. The stuff of comics. Regarding that, I've two announcements to make.
3.1)
See, in the last months, circumstances appeared which kept me away from doing comics. This however, left me with one thing: Time to think. I used it to flesh out the story, and I have come to the opinion that this story can't be described by “Kanohi of Comedy”. So, I am announcing that somewhere in the hopefully not too far future, my comics will undergo a name change. They'll get a name that fits much more to the story I plan.
3.2)
I'll just throw that into the room:
That's all I'm going to say on that matter. For now.
For further insight on the future of my comics, I suggest visiting my blog during premier week, where additional and expanded articles will be released.
Thanks for reading,
