I wish someone had shown me this video when I was younger. When I was a kid, I never used to have a plot when I made comics. I just made up stuff as I drew. I'd have a basic outline like "a Jedi meets a bounty hunter" then it's anything goes after that. I'd get stuck halfway and quit the comic out of frustration. I probably have a box full of half-finished comics at my parents' house. Thanks for the helpful vid, Scott!
I did that same thing. The improv was fun. But for legit stories im starting to flesh stories out more. Which sucks for older stories cause fixing older stories leads to retcons. But i have a new story now and its much better
These videos are packed with info,I have to rewatch them just to absorb evweything. Honestly with this video series,the comic maker tool kit and starter kit,combined with all the workbooks you're putting out on Amazon. It's so much easier to make a comic. All the tools are there,it's just up to us to use them. Thanks Scott for all you do for the comic creating community.
this was really helpful! ive been struggling with plotting my webcomic, but this has helped and im much more motivated to start writing! thanks a ton! got a new sub today :D
I loved how Indy basically just survived in "Raiders." Not what you expect. And naturally it makes you think of LotR, 'cause Frodo is another hero who doesn't achieve the climax.
@@ScottSerkland Indy found the Ark's resting place. The Nazis were looking in the wrong place and had to follow him. (Come to think of it, way to go, Dr. Jones.) Anyways, it is pretty widely loved, so when people mention it as an example of this supposed flaw, it makes me question our assumptions.
Hola amigo Maybe you can help me out here since I’ve seen you have some videos with the cintiq art pad for some one who has been working old fashioned ink to paper comics but trying to move on over into more of the digital Side of art what is a good art pad for a beginner i know they can get expensive but money is not really an issue just trying find out the best route to go before making the final purchase
I just posted a video about gifts for artist and I talked about the Huion Kamvas tablet. I have one and really like it. Way less expensive than a Cintiq
I'm an architecturer by heart and there's a story genre called voyage and return where the character get sent to a different land and has to overcome the obstacles in that land before returning home.
Yeah, I don’t think they were too impressed because they didn’t open the trading cards or my first mini comic from 1993 which was an outlaw comic and probably more their style. Oh well different stokes for different folks.
@@ScottSerkland all and all I wasn't very impressed how they handled it I mean come on they talked more about the noose then your art work I thought that zombie we got a glimpse of was really cool I really hope I can draw like that someday
If it's a simple question and if it might help others with similar issues send me the question via email at scott@serkworks.com I can't make any promises but I'll try to answer it or if it's relevant use it as a topic for a video.
This man's energy is fiery and intense - I like that.
Thanks for saying that. Sometimes people comment that my energy is to much. But I’m passionate about making comics. That’s for watching.

Yeah, don’t feel too bad. I was the same way when I was younger.

I do what I can Frank. Thanks!
Catch 22 is a perfect example of it. the whole thing regresses from the opening to all of the craziness of the war.
I’m ashamed to say I still haven’t seen the movie.
@@ScottSerkland it's follows the book perfectly

That's awesome to hear! Glad I could help!

I'm not sure about that, while Indy never had any contact with the ark Frodo did carry the ring on thoughout the journey.

Very good points, and helpful, thanks.
Glad it was helpful!

😊
That’s awesome! Anytime!
Also the first movie I ever seen where someone was buried alive was a movie called "Oxygen" from 1999
I’m not familiar with that movie. I’ll have to look into that.

I would say the Wizard of Oz is a perfect example of that type of story structure.
HA! I was watching Kayfabes mailbag today and they opened your box Scott!!!
Yeah, I don’t think they were too impressed because they didn’t open the trading cards or my first mini comic from 1993 which was an outlaw comic and probably more their style. Oh well different stokes for different folks.
@@ScottSerkland yeah I was REALLY hoping to see them open the cards not just compliment how well they were packaged

I'm gonna be a plot plotting plotter
You can do it!
Is there anyway I can contact you mate?
Hey Clarence, you can shoot me an email at scott@srkworks.com
Would you be willing to give me a small amount of advice about a minor issue in my script?

Sorry, I don’t understand.
Where does the conflict of Man Versus Food fall into all of this?? 🍕🌮🍝🌯🍜🍔🍟
Good question. That’s the ultimate battle of willpower. I personally deal with that on a daily basis.
