Short Comics origin 2
8-17-2014(continued from 8-12-2014)
Now, not all my comic pages were made for Massad innitially. I have made a few books apart from that, from which only one was ever published, sadly. This was First Step, about the adventures of special agent Dominique Caldera, which was brought out several decades ago.
It was the first time I had ever thought up a sort of plot for the story, and stuck with it. That one did fairly well.
Short Comics origin
8-12-2014
Since we have a new book on offer in the Comics, a compilation of three short comics by Coco (many more will follow in this series), we thought it nice to let Coco explain a bit about their origins.
Killing your darlings
8-9-2014
Some time ago, I explained how I sometimes like to build up my pieces from multiple drawings, as a sort of collage. A large part of that is the phase of 'killing your darlings', that is to say: decide which parts of the separate drawings will overlap, and therefore,which parts you'll lose.
Now, I always like to bring some amount of detail to my work, so a lot of hard work also goes into these missing parts. Of course you could say compose the image in your head, and keep that in consideration as you are working, but the problem is that the fun part in choosing this method lies in the experimentation with the various parts: that's the composing phase. If you would take the various places of the components into consideration from the beginning, you might as well stick to making one complete drawing directly.
Chair Bondage
8-4-2014
Hello again! Coco's last update (you can see a sketch of it to the right) ties in nicely with our latest Anthology book: Chair Bondage Vol.1! This is a subject that a lot of BDSM lovers are into; it takes second to Bed Bondage only, arguably. Because it offers such a rich variety of possibilities, presumably. You can tie or tape your victim leg to chair leg, arm to arm, or, like in this example, you can choose to use no actual part of the chair at all: it still becomes a prison, through sheer gravity. Check out our newest publication!
