Aye, 'tis true!
Not only did I develop my own characters for the graphic novel I started and never finished (more also seen here ), but I also started to develop characters and a story line about PIRATES! At the time, I wasn't sure what I was going to do with them, whether to start another graphic novel, to write a bunch of short books, or write up a screenplay and turn the whole thing into a movie. (Can we say overly ambitious?) I never did finish drafting up the full cast, nor did I finish the story line, but I've never forgotten about them, and I'd like to pick them back up and see where they take me. The idea of working toward another graphic novel sounds a bit too time consuming for my current situation, but maybe if I can get working on a story board the rest will follow.
I'm a pretty big fan of the "fantasy/magic" theme, and plan on throwing some of that into the mix. After all, what's a pirate story without mermaids, sea monsters, curses, and enchantments?!
I'll have to dig around and see if I ever actually finished any of my pirate drawings, but in the meantime, here are a handful of sketches.
This one managed to get inked, at least!
Corby the Piratess, kicking ass and taking names:
Zane and Corby discussing business over drinks, pirate style:
Making plans:
(I cannot for the life of me remember what I had named him, but I'm sure it'll come back to me at some point. lol)
I can't wait to get working on these again!
Anyone else have a soft spot for pirates?
