I have changed a few aspects of my original objectives. My personal objectives remain the same, however, some elements of the final outcomes will differ.
- The outcome will no longer be the full graphic novel, as 50+ pages, draw inked, coloured and Photoshop will simply not be complete for the deadline and I specially want a finished piece that is Industry ready.
- The two stories that are very well developed are Rumpelstiltskin and Beauty and the Beast. I will be Illustrating them in two separate comic books.
- The final goal is the same, a Graphic Novel the penultimate conclusion but this would be a collection of four or five of these short comic books. I am going to produce 2 finished comic books that could, eventually, with more stories, becomes a Graphic Novel.
- This will mean producing 2 sets of front cover and back covers and 2 end-paper designs
- I believe there is market for this, monthly issued comic books, of Fairy Tale genre that could be subscribed to as web-comics or printed and put on shelves.
- I can see the finished products in small company bookshops and eventually more mainstream outlooks. This will mean self-publishing my work and sending it out to comic book companies such as 'Marvel' 'Vertigo' 'Self-Made'Hero' and trying to find an interested party.
