If your comic wasn't in comic form

[Metruis]

An RPG! Story? What story? I just created a world.

I guess, though, if I had to pick it'd be a video game. If it could be a novel, it WOULD be a novel. I'm not shy about writing them, I've done a few and what I'm telling here basically requires visuals. No, it would be a video game. I imagine it as a video game, in my mind. One of those video games where you get to control a few characters through their part of the story, fight a lot, get to a long cutscene or three, and then you jump over to the next character's chapter. Eventually this group of characters will form a party together, and then they'll go on to level up, learn a lot of crap, and become more powerful than they ever imagined they could be--but will it be enough to defeat the final boss, who was slowly revealed as their stories led each other together? Yes, that's what it would be like. One of those video games where you start out as a character, run around and do all this tutorially stuff with a much more powerful character, then they die/you lose control of them, and you get to start levelling up a weaker character.

Though I think the most suitable other medium would be an MMO, perhaps.

If I could.... I would make an animated serie.... but I know how much work it is to make a single minute of animation, so 22 minutes episodes...aye aye aye O_o Well, I did study in this domain, so it is possible.

The shameful truth is I've always wanted an OP.

An orange peel? They're pretty easy to find in this region.

An animated series like The Spectacular Spider-man, or maybe a movie. Though all I've churned out till now was this short, and it took way too long.

AntiBunny's first person narration style would fit more with a book than any other non-comic media. Nailbat on the other hand had arcs paced with movie length in mind.

Radio serial.

I recently decided to try turning three of my more rambling and surreal comic ideas into illustrated novels. Illustrated novels, as in not comic books, or graphic novels, but rather written narratives with heavy amounts of accompanying illustration. If I keep banging my head against the wall by trying to make comics out of these concepts, they'll never get told. Besides, I think I'm more attracted to single-image illustrations than I am long-form cartoon sequences, and I'm better suited to work on giving one picture a lot of impact, rather than trying to spread that impact over half a dozen smaller pictures; it's just taken me fifteen years to come to that conclusion.

my comic would be a t.v. series, in fact I'm working to make it set up a bit more like a TV series, referring to the years as seasons and trying to set up a specific length of storylines and building them in a sort of 3 act fashion.

back on the topic of comics in other media there's actually a couple of stories I have in my head that I'm fairly sure would work only as comics or in some other kind of visual form (movie, t.v. etc) and perhaps that's a reflection on me as a writer but I just don't think I could properly do what I want with it in just a written form. Failing the ability to make movies and t.v. shows on a whim, comicking works better, however comicking with LEGO bricks doesn't exactly lend itself very well for drama and thus someday I hope to seek out artists to collaborate with on some of these projects, until then they are simply a pipe dream.

[Bustertheclown]

Well, have you ever sought these people out?

[Dr Legostar]

yes, I had an artist for my dream project for a while, but life got complicated on her and that fell through all together.

I've had a couple other attempts at collaboration that have fallen through completely and one attempt at a collaboration that is moving along slowly (see link below)

If you'd talked to me like two days ago, I wouldn't have fallen out of love with stopmotion and I would totally have animated LGS

Oh I can stop motion animate it myself, that's the least of my problems, it just needs practice.

I've split off any posts mentioning that pointless derail. If your actual response to this topic was split off, feel free to repost it without bringing up the derail. Anyone trying to revive the derail will be warned and their posts removed; no one's really interested in it, so don't even bother.

A secondary project I have in very early development I'm thinking of making it a hybrid comic/novel although I'm not quite sure if I can write a proper novel, coming from a movie background I'm more adept at script writing.

On a side note Sh!t Happens may become a movie in the next year, it'll depend which script of mine I choose to go with, budget is very low but already arranged.

LleuGarnock would still work well in its original form as an illustrated novel. Dragon's Fall could re-embrace its pure word form as well, but we also have dreams of turning it into an animated TV series, like an in-depth 2 or 3 season anime.

[LightningSpike]

This is an intriguing question you've got here...


Mine would be a TV Show, but it would be the kind that they play to fill in time during commercials (You know, like 60 seconds or less).
