So, I'm runnig a little bit behind with the blarg for 200 Quetros pages, but hey, at least that didn't stop the updates from continuing, right? Alright, now that that's outta the way... 200 Quetros pages. Combining that with the 104 AA pages, I've gotten over 300 pages posted on the website which is a lot of reading and work on my end. But, it's been a lot of fun and gives me a good chance to look back and see where I've been.
This whole website and Quetros was basicly my attempt to make a comic book. It's not an easy task and I know a lot of people personally that have wanted to make their own book, but they just didn't put the time into making it an actuality. I've done roughly a dozen issues. That's pretty insane. It's also hilarious to look back at some of my early issues to see how bad I was, and I only hope that I can keep improving and learning later on how bad I was, even now.
I've even evolved technically over this time period, from drawing my word balloons by hand to using photoshop. From black and white to grey tones of the present. I've changed the tools that I use to draw as well, there's just so much that you learn by actually attempting something this intense and laborsome that you'll just never learn from a book, and I really need to pick a professional's brain someday to polish myself even more.
I've also really learned to love drawing, writing, and creating comics. I hope that one day I'll be able to do it for a living, and the main thing to making that happen is staying dedicated to the comic and keeping the pages coming. The story's advanced a lot in the 200 pages, and I'm really excited to see the next 200. What's in store for the future of Quetros? New characters, new villians, old faces returning, and even better storyarcs.
I hope you've enjoyed the past 200 pages, and will stick with me for the next 200. Keep reading, and thanks for enjoying my little comic. Hopefully, we'll all watch it continue to grow and evolve.
<3 Caybo | rac-vir 3/26/08 7:00 PM Well, again comes the time when AA ends and Quetros begins. This is downtime for me (yes, I do some work on the non-downtime from time to time) and I have little do to right now since I am already ahead on script writing. I'm currently about one and a half scripts ahead of need (might even be 2 and a half, I forget) and thus I have not found the itch to write all that much. That being said, I still have intentions of getting ahead of Caybo and finishing the series long before it is necessary, just so I have something to dangle in front of him.
Speaking of dangling, I rather enjoy my cliffhangers, as you might have noticed. It's nothing personal, I just thought I should give you a special interest in the next issue. That's what a good writer does, right? So I'll pretend, hah!
Art in issue three was an improvement, despite the nags of static poses and camera angles. There is definate improvement on Caybo's part, and I'm sure he will work out all his weaknesses in time. Like a really annoying RPG boss, Caybo constantly covers up his weaknesses, making him increasingling more invulnerable (except a good kick in the nuts, no one can stop that).
Characterization is truely my goal in this arc. Vince is well established, but in the coming issues the spotlight favors a bit more of Nora and Max, whom need to be indentified with more. Of course, none of this is done at the expense of keeping the plot interesting, so stay tuned for more twists, curseing, violence, and especially DEATH
Beyond that, I would just like to thank everyone for reading the comic, and for those AAmanics out there, stay strong!
