As some of you may know, I have a slight interest in doodling and drawing and whatnot. However, even fewer than some of you know that I started creating a comic about a year ago. It went for about 12 pages and then I stopped. It was a total bomb. Everyday after that I would tell myself that I would make a new one, that I would write down ideas and make thumbnail sketches. This, of course, has not happened.
So here I am, once again attempting to "make good" on my promise to myself. This time, however, I has decided to have an outsiders perspective. You see, besides drawing a comic, you first have to do a lot of thinking and writing and creating in order for it go go somewhere. Characters need to have the right personalities, the story itself needs to have a purpose, and so on and so forth. I'm up the character part. I start to think and then it gets crazy. Somewhat psychological. So what I wanted to do is have other people (meaning you guys) criticize and analyze and basically just speak about a person so I could use this little "experiment" to help my own process. The person we'll be speaking about will be myself, for starters. What I want is for people to basically tell me what they think of me. What they think when they see me do something, say something, act a certain way. Not criticize me directly (although I wont cry if you do), but rather tell me what YOU are thinking about this wacko. Don't try to put down stuff like: "You're funny" or " You're sexy looking." Try for something like: " When Romel draws what he draws, I think he's been beaten at home. The way he profoundly sweats when drawing makes think that there's something else going on." Something like that.

I think you are in your own head when you walk around. At times when you are not conversational, you are feeling something different from when you are. The voice in your head, to me, seems to sound very different from your talking voice, and when you talk to yourself, it seems to me that you are much more serious.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think there are two Romels: one is serious and ambitious with his work (or what matters to him at least) and the other is fun, witty and laid-back without the asshole, condescending-ness...like another person I know. Perhaps I don't know you well enough to say this about you, but this is how I see you. I wonder what really goes on in your head sometimes, but that's just creepy.
ReplyDeleteNot that you'll ever come back here to see this but:
ReplyDeleteThanks for the responses guys. I really appreciate it.
