Hello there,
I know you may very well never read this and this might be far from the only request like this you've gotten, but I really liked your art in "Blink" and I'd like to propose a project for us to work on together.
I always wanted to tell stories, but my first tries didn't go that well. One reason might be because I tried it in english, though a language I'm pretty familiar with by now, it's still not my native language, which brought more than one hurdle with it, the other is that I'm a very visual person and it's hard for me to put the things I imagine into words and describe everything in the detail I imagine. So I thought hey, no harm in trying and that's why you're reading this message now, or maybe not if you choose to ignore it. The story I'm thinking about is about an Immortal man and his journey through the centuries.
Here is the first bit I came up with, it's only a very short sample, I know but it should give you an idea of what I'm thinking off and combined with some strong images, it'd make an amazing first chapter, by it's own already enough to get readers hooked for the rest :
"As I stand there, inmidst of these wretched flames, feeding off my flesh...
my life, once again flashing before my eyes, like so many times before...
I start wondering...
how even humanitys most advanced weapon
can't grant me the one thing I truly desire."
This'd be an inner monologue, while the immortal man is engulfed by the blast of an atomic bomb, over the panels destroying his body more and more, while at the line about his life flashing before his eyes images of his past appear around him, until it ends with him, naked, but otherwhise completely unharmed, kneeling in a field of ash, shedding tears at the last line, while sone ruins crumble around him and the burned up corpses and skelletons of the less fortunate stick out of the ashes.
So, what do you think? I'd love to hear from you, but of course I can understand if not.
