Short Notice #13

Afternoon all,

This months script is based on something I've been working on listed as Operation Alaskan Phill over on my blog.

The origin came from watching news reports of Hurricane Sandy on the BBC and there was a cycle of footage of people taking a selfie with the raging ocean behind them, the people doing Gangnam Style dance, and in amongst it was a really brief shot of an old man just sitting on a bench looking out at the storm.
And I thought to myself "That old guy knows something". For the next hour that image and thought percolated in my head and by the end it had evolved into this image of a hit man assassinating the storm and from there it was a short leap to imagine the storm was caused by a god.

STORMING OF BRAINS!

Evening all,

I've spent the last two days going over everything people have said they'd like to practice drawing and started to fashion everything in to stories for the next few months scripts. As can be seen in this helpful yet confusing diagram:

So all of this was taken and blended with some ideas I've been playing with and I can now reveal to you the working titles for the Scripts up until August PLUS a brief insight into what September holds.

I should say now that this isn't set in stone and may swap issues around. If there's things you want to practice drawing that aren't on my awesome diagram let me know at shortnotice.comics@gmail.com and if I can't work them into one of the stories above I'll work them into the stories for October, November or December.

Thanks for all the feedback so far it is greatly appreciated.

Stay awesome (",)

Short Notice #12

Sorry this one is late. I've been away and again mistakenly put my faith in the auto upload.

This script came out of an email asking for a story that required different drawing styles. The styles referenced should be seen as suggestions and feel free to substitute any of them for another style.

Not sure I did this one as well as I could have. I was trying to play with the use of captions in conjunction panels without any dialogue. Overall I think it feels like a summarised version of a slightly longer story. I may give it another pass and upload the updated version at a later date.

As always any feedback or comments can be emailed to shortnotice.comics@gmail.com
