Poser comics?

Actually, here's a thought.

I've been seeing some good work with Poser recently, mostly over at DeviantArt. If you haven't checked out ElenaEvil's semi-regular series that deals with the Baroness from G.I. Joe (well, mostly) then you should; there's whole lot of masking and kinkiness going on in there. With some better captions/writing, I think it'd be really something. (And that's no slight to Elena as author - they're from Italy so I don't think English is their first language.)

Anyway. Is there anyone out there reading who'd be interested in collaborating on a Poser-created masking comic?

I'd supply the plot (although, I'd be happy to collaborate) and the words generally, you'd provide the Poser, the posing, the textures, the rendering and so on. Obviously we'd share credit.

It's something I'm sort of tempted to take on myself, but I just know that learning and working with Poser would be such a massive time-sink, that I could probably finish a novel or two in the time it takes me to make anything good. (I had a version of Poser years and years ago, and it took me forever just to render one image to a standard I was happy with.)

Anyway, consider this a standing offer. If you're a Poser artist already and like the idea of doing something with masks or disguises - doesn't have to be sexually explicit, either - then let me know. Perhaps we can make beautiful comics together.

Happy Whatever, and the New Year...

Ahem. Well, I was certainly hoping to have something new to share by Christmas, but I forgot about one little thing: Christmas. Yes, the holidays have a tendency to suck up free time, and my time has been well and truly... sucked.

I'm progressing slowly on a couple of things. I'm very aware that it's now been close to 18 months since Spider-Girl #20, but hey, unlike a few authors I could mention... at least I keep you up to date with what I'm doing (or not doing... you get the idea). As I've said before the current Spider-Girl arc has been nightmarish, but I'm pushing through. I really do hope to have something to share, on that front at least, inside a month or so. Here's hoping 2010 brings a bit more free time and therefore, a few more released 'things'.

Speaking of 2010, is there anything else you'd like to see around here? I know, I know - 'more fiction' is a given. I've been thinking about a 'how to write mask fiction' series, which might be easy enough to do. And a few other things.

Anyway, let me know. Speak up.

Twittering

I like Twitter. I use Twitter a lot. No, I won't tell you who I really am on Twitter. But I will create an account on there so you can stalk me there.

I could go into the various reasons why I want to use Twitter, but that'd be boring, would waste time I could spend Twittering - er, writing - and it's easier to just, um, do that on Twitter.

So if you like, sign on up to Twitter and follow me. Or alternatively, just come back here now and again and check out the big honking box on the top right. Or just look on Twitter. It's free. It's open to all. I won't tell.

Oh and don't moan at me that you need to sign up. Just sign up using the email address you use for all the other places we frequent where we don't want our real email address being used. You know the ones.

Here's me, on Twitter. (By the way: this is definitely not me. It's some squatter.)
