Sketchbook - Conquering Creative Challenges

I was asked by Sketchbook.com to write a series of articles for them about writing and the creative process involved in story development

My first was article was, A Writer's Perspective, where I share my thoughts about the creative process in developing and creating a story. The next article in my series for Sketchbook.com is up now, titled, Conquering Creative Challenges. It's about how to use creativity in solving creative hurdles. Like how I was inspired to develop a format to allow me to collaborate with a concept artist not versed in the sequential storytelling format of comic books, as well as some problem solving experiences I have writing for videogames. There's also images from projects I'm actively working on that you can see there as well.

Sketchbook - A Writer's Perspective


This is a digital comic I'm working on with Justice Wong to be released in this year.

It's a rare and wonderful opportunity for a writer to be able to share their thoughts on the creative process behind storytelling, and even more so about the collaborative aspect with artists.


Sketchbook has asked me to do just that in what I hope will be three insightful articles. This first one I share some thoughts about the collaborative aspect in the creative process, what I do as a writer besides writing and tidbits in sequential storytelling. You'll also see sneak peeks at what I'm currently working on (like the image above).

Redorik Needs Your Help!

Crystal Fractal Comics: Love Redorik? Help complete the story!

I started to work in this many moons ago for Crystal Fractal Comics, but as the economy for comics wasn't great, we had to pause.

The story I was crafting would see the traditional new superhero tale get hit by a bazooka!

Saving the day will have a whole new meaning.

Duo identities will be rewritten.

There's more, but like I mentioned, we hit the pause button.

Here's the thing, you get to hit the play button! All you have to do is head over to indiegogo.com/redorik and pre-order a copy. You can also help by sharing the link on Facebook and Twitter.
