Graphic Novels
T his has ballooned into something big, and really exciting for me.
I had always thought I was a pretty fair writer, someone who could invent an interesting story and tell it well. I knew, however, that I wasn't Tolkein, or Gaiman or Cherryh, and needed a little something extra to draw folks to my stories.
I was also into computer-generated artwork, landscapes in Bryce and Terragen. This led to Poser, where you could render images of people, and its cousin, DAZ Studio, a freebie application that has, nonetheless, sucked my hobby fund dry. Give them the razor and sell them the blades, indeed!
Anyway, it became obvious to me that I could marry the two-- use DAZ Studio to render images and then piece them together into a comic book. When the story began to get longer than a single comic book could tell, I decided to make it one large graphic novel, like Watchmen, only in 3D renderings instead of hand-drawn art.
Thus was Fallen Angel born.
