Direction for Patron-exclusive content?
Added 2016-02-03 21:53:46 +0000 UTCHey dudes is there anything specific you'd like to see in the Patron-only stream? My time is always extremely limited so not all suggestions are going to be necessarily feasible but I'd love to hear them just the same -- there may be something you'd like to see that I can easily supply!

Ha! I completely agree; don't put much stock in "discovery writing", as I've often heard it referred to. Letting characters lead wherever they want with zero outlining, for me at least, invariably leads to an inescapable corner.
2016-02-09 03:54:44 +0000 UTCStory-up is the way to go. I remember Roger Zelazny, still my 2nd favorite sf writer, saying that he sometimes wrote the plot first, sometimes let the characters take him where they would. Yes, Roger, I know, I know; those would be your good stories and your bad stories, respectively. But Erin, we need your pictures! You are the best comic artist on the net. You are making a classic, something for the ages. Please keep drawing.

2016-02-07 04:07:47 +0000 UTCI don't know that I'm incredibly qualified to teach this, as I could really use some figure drawing, myself! Also there's no easy secret where I can just say "flange the corinthian to the ingle" and suddenly you're Walt Stanchfield. But I mean I could certainly snapshot a drawing with some figures from the very first steps of throwing down shapes and lines of action and you could see what I do, sure! Thanks for the input!
2016-02-04 22:48:13 +0000 UTCI was/probably still should be a prose writer; NTO was built story-up, but I saw it in snapshots or beats that I, for lack of a better way to put it, thought would be cool? and filled in the gaps. Thanks for your input! Maybe I'll share some of the textual drafts sometime, although I feel like it'd probably be embarrassing for me and disappointing for you!
2016-02-04 22:43:16 +0000 UTCIf I might submit an extraordinarily 'umble request, I for one would like to see some _very_ basic lessons on how to draw a human figure in a manner that is half way decent and not completely laughable (which is about as far as I've gotten) (lol).
