Another Day, Another Dollar

"Another Day, Another Dollar", as it is said, but for me it is "Another Day, Another Inspiration". I enjoyed the 24-Hour Comics Day and am thrilled with the seed of the idea I got there. Also I met really nice and talented people that is always a joy to see. You can read my 24 pages comic in Finnish or in English. The English version is quickly translated with 3 hours of sleep, so at some point I might update sentences to better ones.

I have editedt this after the 24-HCD

The 24-Hour Comics day was interesting. I arrived into the Comic Center, where it was held, at half past eleven and little by little more people showed up. We were allowed to start drawing or creating the idea at 12 o'clock and I first started to sketch few characters. After that I started to build the idea by writing stuff down. It was logical for me to write down the whole blot and then cut it down to pages. Thus I knew what I will draw to different pages...otherwise the ideas might become a bit weird as mind started to get tired during night hours.

At no point I got overpowering fatigue, which suprised me. I was quite rational at all times and needed only few walks outside to keep me going. Maybe I am a bit used to this kind of night drawing, as I have drawing marathons with my childhood friend at least 5 times a year, or as often as we are able to travel to other one's home.

On Sunday 8:18 AM I was ready, scanned the work and headed home. I drank a cup of tea and got two hours beauty sleep. I took one more hour sleep during the day, but that was it.Today when I read my comic, I got inspired...I will start and continue my drawing into a longer and more thorough story. Story doesn't have a name yet, so name proposals are welcome :) I will keep you posted on this comic as I get some results and pages.
