HorseFist

Lately I've been sketching up some Zed for Alex. I finally settled on the style I want to use to tell the story with. But I realize something else is just important in telling this story that Alex has wonderfully put together. Music.

Yes, music is the heart and blood that is going to pump this comic. Zed is this emo kid who has the greatest taste in music. From what I read in the first script you will definitely be able to sense the awesomeness of this music. But how does the music sounds? That's what's been on my mind.

I know that it is very hard to portray music in a comic. But I realize that best way to portray the feel of this music is to do my best to make the band members as much of the story as the other characters. By giving the band members life I give the music they play life, and the the reader can hear the sounds they think the band makes. Hence came a slight problem. Alex and I taste in music, especially rock, are opposite. I love the punk rock emo. While Alex loves the screamo heavy metal, I guess. When I started to think about how the band would look, instantly images of Anarbor and Boys Like Girls popped into my mind. But I knew Alex wouldn't agree. So I made sure tell him to send me a description of this band, HorseFist.

I look forward into drawing the band out. I'm going to try my best to go all out and see if I can fool Alex and others into thinking this band is actually real. I kid I kid. I'll just fool others.

BTW:
I know we've been neglecting the blog. But do bare with us. We are two college kids in two different states trying our best to make a comic you all would enjoy. I will do my best to get this comic done by the end of March.

Keep your heads up.
