Produktbeschreibung

Writer's Resource: Character Building looks at a number of character issues when it comes to writing comics. This includes a quick character generation process, how to resolve character vs. plot issues, and even diversity issues. Organizations and how to build them are looked at, as are several issues about diversity and feminism. There are a lot of great ideas on how to use sidekicks and extras for more building the plot and theme. For illustrators, there is even a chapter on character design and how to use it to add to the plot and characterization. This is also helps world-building as some of the weirder aspects of character design are looked at, such as uniform material and tattoos. Given the visual nature of the medium, these aspects are looked at. Some of the issues dealt with include:

--- The Importance of Non-Character Characters

--- Avoiding Mary Sues

--- Why You Need Extras

--- How Not To Refrigerate Women

--- Basic Considerations of Costume Design

--- The Perennial Debate of A Good Uniform

--- Dressing Women is Harder Than It Looks

This book is great for writers that have hit some of the traditional snags and illustrators looking for interesting new toys to play with. Overall, this should help anyone creating a comic make a much better comic.

Autorenporträt

I'm the guy who knows every last fact about Spider-man and if I don't I'll track it down. I love bad movies, enjoy table-top gaming, and probably would drive you crazy if you weren't ready for it. I have ADHD but refer to it as "hyperkinesis" because it sounds like a super-power. It means that I can be disorganized to the naked eye, but in reality, I probably have a reason for the clutter and you may actually like it. I write books that I would like. This means that the characters are those you would want to have a drink with, maybe talk about philosophy, and maybe game with. The plots involve a little humor, some romance, and maybe even some weirdness. In short: If you like 1980s movies you should enjoy them. My books on style and management are how I'd like to do it, so expect some weirdness but it's the kind of weirdness you can get behind. I hope you enjoy my books; I enjoyed writing them!
