Stories I should finish

Is there Yoga on Mars?

Can't find a good recent drawing of any of my characters on my comp, so here is Bowie.

Although I had a lot of thoughts about tonight’s Republican nominee debate, I will have to sort through my coherent argument before I’d feel right writing a proper blog post about it.  Definitely the kind of subject I will attack in the future.  And let me also just say that, as a Texan…I fucking hate Rick Parry.

Moving on, I thought it would be a good idea to write out and briefly explain some of the stories and concepts I have come up with over the years.  I am pressed for time and would like to make a post now, rather than forget to later, so I will just list them for now.  The reason I am doing this, however, is to organize some of the ideas I have already had and loved, but have never actually completed.  One of my life goals is to make a really solid animated film, and any of these could be the beginnings of one. I think the next step I should take on any of these is writing a proper outline, and then perhaps a script.  Most of these were started with the intention that they would be serial animated shows or comics.  No matter what, I would like all of them to be communicated through illustration of some sort.

Here is my list.  More description to come

  • Lenny, the Little Dark Boy.
  • Boots and The Wonderful World of Weres
  • Untitled Vampire rock opera (part 3 of a series that starts with a biblical myth/story, continues with a short piece of victorian/romantic fiction, and ends with this film)
  • Untitled story of the friendship between a little vampire girl and a moody teenager
  • The Samurai and the Prince
  • Uber Punks and Goths
  • Pet Penguin
  • Stupid Cupid/For the Love of Venus (same universe, two stories)
  • Michael paints the sky/David makes the stars (same universe and story where these characters interact, can’t think of a title)
  • The legend of the Phoenix
  • Violet Witch
As I wrote this list, I can help but feel a bit proud of how many I could remember, knowing I still have one or two others that I had conceived but can’t think of at the moment.  A lot of these ideas are also centered around characters, which I think is my favorite part of most stories. Go figure.
That’s all.  Trying to commit to my weekly deadline, making to make SOMETHING.
