Im opening commissions because I want to find everyone who loves things the way I do. People who want a piece of their favorite character or their own OC to enjoy, not to flip. If thats you, lets make something super cool together!

My buddy Ken is giving everything he's got to be a comics creator.
We talk all the time about trying to bring good story to comics, and while I'm merely theorizing about it, he's actually making it happen with his new comic!
I've been working on a new webcomic called SAINTLY:
A girl must hide a deal she made with demon or risk losing her her best friend...and her soul.
SAINTLY is a demon-chase horror action comedy
about debt, friendship, and loss:

GI Joe The Battle for the Train of Gold (1985) has more action and adventure in one episode than all the "action adventure" comics Ive worked on combined.
In the first 5 min we get a heist with nonstop laser fire, Duke blown up, and a squadron of personal Cobra copters!

Many writers get "in media res" wrong by shoving a later part of the story at the start, then backing up and telling all the boring parts that led up to it. It would be better to start "in the middle of things" and continue to progress from there, no backing up at all.

Many of my favorite stories have terrible intros though so Im giving Limetown a shot. I havent looked into it but with the amount of narration it seems like an adaptation of a podcast or something. Were being told something, and shown something, but the showing doesnt matter.

His talent is amazing, but let this be a lesson to every creative who chases perfectionism above completion. His indecisiveness led to a movie that was beautifully animated, yet never fully fleshed out as a story that spent nearly three decades in production
I hardly see people bring up Richard Williams, he's the GOD of animation like how do you even animate something with this much detail

Hadnt watched Mega Man Wish Upon a Star in years. Regardless of its edutainment (forcing the creative bankruptcy of bringing characters to the our world) there is a TON of action and adventure! The closest adaptation to what I want out of Mega Man that I know of.

Im also watching Astroy Boy (1980) and impressed by how much story they capture in each episode. Theres always exciting, meaningful action AND powerful exploration of drama and emotion. I think the perfect template for what a Mega Man series could be.
