You know what needs to make a comeback in fiction? NOT explaining everything. Like how back in the day, the Force was never explained and neither was magic or the origin of the Xenomorph. It's fiction. A certain amount of mystery makes it better. It's a like a joke, when you explain it, it dulls it.
Your comic pages do not need to be as detailed or as showstopping as the cover or chapter covers for your comic. It is ok for style of the content itself to be simple because you want to finish your project at one point. Even big corpo comic artists do this. You're not lazy. It's wise to not want to burn yourself out.
Absolutely agreed (and yet it’s a lesson I need to learn). Some of the most successful comics ever were simple line drawings. Look at Peanuts, for example.
Here is this week's video which discusses how to make reboots, sequels, spin off and reimaginings better: https://youtu.be/Rgd_zC7P5_k
Everyone, I am very sorry and VERY embarrassed to say that this video was taken down because... I just realized I had the mic off the whole time meaning it is just 14 minutes of silence. I am so sorry.
Aww, that's ok. It happens. Looking forward to the new link!

This is the new cover of MK's Frankenstein and yes, the Kindle and Paperback versions will be like this too. This is how I imagined my take on Dr. Prometheus aka The Creature to look like. I made him look like a doll complete with him having cute bows. I also gave him earth coloured skin to make him stand out from the rest of the versions. It is also why I gave him a beard. Plus, in my take, he is technically of mixed ethnicity. In fact, his hair is hinted to be Spanish lol. It is because according to the book, the Creature was created using beautiful male body parts, but... they never said all of them were German or even Aerian. I also gave him a white streak to symbolize the streak of life. Unlike most of my MC's, his colour is a shade of blue. You can also see why making this into a comic would not have worked out for me. Prometheus is too detailed and my life is too busy for me to devote to it. Well, at least I made the novel's cover better.
How did I do? How do you like my take on the Creature?

This is a thank you piece to everyone who subbed to my adaptation of Frankenstein. Thanks to you, it is now a paperback novel on Amazon (you can find it by clicking the link labelled "My Bookshop" on my profile). Mark my words, I will see to it that it becomes an animated mini series though that can only happen with your support and spreading the word about the novel.
I am not one for loud stances or acts of rebellion, but as an artist who supports other artists regardless of their class or other details, I will boycott watching anime by a company or streaming service that will not translate it correctly for censorship. Present the art as is or not at all.
