Seawing Week- News from my art world

For those following, the heat of summer and my want for a vacation have urged me to start working on basic cards and displays of my MOCs from the Seawing series. For any of those who have seen the blog posts, you'll know Seawing is one of my many out of the blue inventions, a random idea that somehow led to a fan fiction based back story that could become a comic. Three other main characters exist in the Seawing world and currently I'm working on the other pictures for them.

A future tip is that once I have my main images ready for use, you'll likely be seeing some concept cover art for the fan fiction comic of Seawing. As some of you may know, I've been going through concept cover art to introduce many of my ideas that could take years to establish and make into something. Most of them have remained concept, but that doesn't stop me from creating imagery for these story ideas.

   
I've made three concept covers for some of my story ideas, displayed above. It's a fun game, semi relaxing and simple as long as I don't overthink things. Granted I have no guarantees of how long or even if I'll ever manage to make stories for all these concepts, but that's natural to expect considering through the years I've had too many ideas to count, and after listing the main story ideas be it big or small, fan based or original, written novel or graphic novel, and excludes mini comic strips and panels, it's boiled down to over ten concepts waiting for attention (I have a notebook for just those ideas...).
Imagine how it is to have that many ideas for rather large stories, you being the writer, editor, and artists.....(it takes energy). I'm sure other artists in the community can relate. But regardless, I will stay determined to make cover art for each concept as a reminder to myself of what all goes through my head.

Lets not forget Life of Lewa, you know, that six year old fan fiction that's taking me too long to write because I lack motivation...and help.

Yeah, that one. I'd like to thank those who peek at it now and then, and apologize for the fact that it may be a dormant project which won't be shown in story form for a very long time till I get it worked out. But for those who like it, glad to hear it. I have to admit making a fan fiction after you role played it about four years before is a rather tough thing to do....especially when you're doing it by yourself. Can anyone relate to that? Starting a story four years after thinking it up and acting it with someone, with no idea as to wear it ends just where it starts.
 If, and hopefully when I reach the completion point of this fan fiction (even if it doesn't have a true ending), I know the Lewa monkey/victory dance will be going through my head.  What am I talking about? This mini stop motion I did a long time ago.

Makes me giggle. 

Aside from all the stories I've had swirling in my brain, I've also been working on other projects, mostly books.



You know, that not so embraced paper craft in the DA community. I will admit that because I do a bit of this and that in my world of art, it's hard to just settle with one project to work on for a day. I will say this is one of the reasons writing stories takes me awhile. After half a chapter my brain starts to feel numb and I know I need a break from staring at the computer, my hands itching to fold, cut, glue, sew, anything but type. Anyone know that feeling?

Some little questions for my watchers, do any of you enjoy reading the stories I share? Do you find them fun, feel inspired by the art I make?
