Again, there are no different industries, just comics.<br />monsantohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04015584706779067710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10340222.post-6078448759545039952013-04-19T19:11:27.076+08:002013-04-19T19:11:27.076+08:00Secret Sleuth,

During those time there were no indie titles. Like today, there are less of the local publications than the Independent komiks. There are no such thing as different industries. <br /><br /> There is only self control in terms of doing it the right way or doing it without any directions.<br /><br /> I hope you have read that this is only about the Philippines thus putting Marvel and DC here is invalid.<br /><br /> compare it with Liwayway or PSICOM if you like.monsantohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04015584706779067710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10340222.post-13903377833100577172013-04-19T13:49:56.017+08:002013-04-19T13:49:56.017+08:00Hi Gilbert!

You're comparing the comic supplier industry (like our great artists who provide work for Marvel and DC abroad) and local indie/self-publishers. Very different rules for both that don't apply to each other. Comic suppliers have to follow certain standards set by their publishers and by those publisher's audiences. It's for consistency and quality control. Indie publishers are trying to find new markets and audiences, so they have to experiment with different techniques, styles and formats to see what appeals to readers who may not be reading comics yet or know the standards. Of course the success rate will be less, but that's the nature of being an entrepreneur/artist. It's the difference between being an employee and an entrepreneur. One works to maintain job security. The other works to create new markets and opportunities. These are two very different industries. I think it's wrong to suggest one industry follow the rules of another, especially when they don't apply.Secret Sleuthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00216018139041974542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10340222.post-41668981078335285252013-04-19T13:08:04.905+08:002013-04-19T13:08:04.905+08:00Thank you for this.

Maybe not the sole reason, but definitely one that made me shrink back in fear.<br /><br />I did write and illustrated three stories, and submitted them to Funny Komiks during college. If they had been rejected, I could have gone back to the drawing board and improved my craft. They published my story with a different artist and writer, and the other two I know not what became of them. Managed to work in animation, but the hunger fo Komiks lingered.<br /><br />That Summer Komikon, and seeing all of you whom I admired, and with the availability of self-publishing helped me decide to pursue something I can do until my hand is too shaky to draw. <br /><br />Some younger creators taught me some things I could not have thought of by myself. So I guess, we could fuse the old and the new, the traditional and the modern, and do more.<br /><br />I guess you could call me "the oldest newbie on the block" .<br /><br />Again thank you for speaking so eloquently.screaming mangohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07201407262750872289noreply@blogger.com
