The high demand for comics and Graphic Novels
If you can't read the text on some of the images, ignore it.
I did not bother to resize them for this blog.
I've heard many times that people no longer like to read anymore, that books are dead. The last time I heard this from another source was Ghost Busters when Egon said, "Print is dead." To think he said that back in the 1980s. But even today in the modern age where everything is shit now. The idea that print is dead and nobody reads anymore is 100 percent FALSE, because there are still a considerable amount of people who love to read books whether those books are in the form of paperback, hardback books or online digital books.
If a cover or plot captures someones interest they are going to express their desire in the material. And whenever I create a cover for a book I'm working on, I try very hard to make the cover look as good as the content that will be represented within that book. The cover is your first impression and your chance to convince the reader that your book is worthy of their eyes and attention. Truth is, I've seen books that had great cover art but then the content inside was disappointing. I've come across book covers with generic covers and the content was really good, like Convent Of Hell...It has a very generic cover for a book but if you ever read the comic and looked through the images. You'll find that the book is very good and acceptable in every way if you enjoy dark erotica.
I've re-read that very comic at least twelve or more times because I enjoyed the risk and it's the only book about nuns involving sexual material... No other stories or artwork of it's kind were written or produced by anyone else ever since, and that book was created back in the 1980s! That's how long it's been, but it's artwork held up quite well over the years, and I never get tired of it.
I use to try to write comics and graphic novels myself because I was really great at creating the images for them. Back in the early 2000s I spent a lot of time reading online comics just to get an idea on how to someday write my own. To this very day I still find time to read books in all formats both paper back, hardback, and digitally but I prefer books with pictures. Pictures make things a lot more interesting than using your own imagination except for when you're creating your own stories...Well using your own imagination is beneficial and that's what I do I use my imagination when I'm creating my own fictional works of art and reading material. I just can't stand using my imagination when I'm reading a picture-less book created by someone else. Although I still read old 1990s Fear Street novels by RL Stine from time to time.Creating your own comics and graphic novels can be a lot of fun, the creative process behind it lets you do all kinds of things to bring out the very best in your characters and the world you place them in. I've always had interest in doing these sort of things because they allow me to expand upon the characters backstory a lot more than just posting a single image every now and then.
People have expressed a desire to know more about these characters, so the only way to give them what they are asking for. That would be to create books about them in the form of graphic novels and comics. Creating books is an art form and being able to produce both the captivating artwork and written content for them is something that not too many artists are capable of crafting when it comes down to producing explicit material. But once you have it down, you can do so much more than you could with speechless content.
This will give readers the opportunity to learn about the characters backstory and how they came to be in the world they inherit. I didn't realize at first that there were people fascinated in all the written material I use to do a long time ago. I gave up when I kept failing to create anything I could be proud of, a lot of the art I use to do before in the past that I no longer create for public viewing. And I had plans to go back to rework on some of those old books I threw away in the virtual trash called the recycle bin on my desktop. After that I shredded the images but I still kept copies of those three women imprisonment books I tried to create back in 2020 that I didn't like. Sometimes I look at them and I try to remind myself what not to do if I ever decide to go back and remake them over from scratch.
They are hundreds of miles away from the nearest town. And I wanted Nuns, Nurses, you know all kinds of interesting things to make it all work out in the long run. The problem in the past was pacing and poor character development...I use to have poor pacing with my work and I would make horrible decisions with certain characters I ended up having regrets about... Dialog was another problem because sometimes it would be all over the place and I would often write too much for each and every scene which is NOT how you create a comic or a graphic novel. It's okay if characters often have a lot to say but if it's like that through the entire book where they are rambling on and on from page to page...It will just end up kind of long winded and boring. If you write too little dialog, the process looks lazy and half done. There is that one key element I didn't have before in the past that I currently have now and it's called "BALANCING."
I figured out the proper way to balance the amount of dialog from page to page and how to transition from one scene to next you need to balance these segments properly instead of rushing right through them. Another thing I've been doing is testing out single page books where I'll create one image and add dialog to it just to see how well people like the images containing a little bit of dialog and written story context to it.
I stopped creating full complete books around the time I lost my Pixiv audience. I've been putting them off for a few years because I didn't feel motivated enough to put in all the hours working on anything extensive and then not having the audience to support me on any of it.
This became especially true once I was kicked off Pixiv about three years ago after they went through their American Bitch owned stage and the Japanese owners of the platform thought it was cool to cave to pressure by backstabbing their own community. To think I actually paid real money to support that shitty platform to use their ridiculous premium features and rob me of everything. I'll never forget that, never!
Well it was evident that around that time I stopped producing story written content I didn't think anyone elsewhere cared so I didn't bother. Ever so often I get the urge to create story driven material, it allows me to do things with characters I generally can't do with regular rendered images I mostly create. Thinking back on it now I use to even create a lot of character profiles for each character that I had including the unimportant ones. That's something else I would like to get back into the habit of doing is creating character sheets and profiles like I use to. The thing about it, I'm creating books to give my characters more value and dept. So even if I don't manage to sell a lot of these books I still get some form of enjoyment out of creating them anyway.
