A Larger Zombie

Heading Towards Minimalism

I realized how I like to draw things in a very detailed, smooth and kind (as in cute) way.

And when they’re close to the end, I need to force myself to stop, because I’m always finding another tiny detail to add.

I don’t want to reach the point where I start drawing skin-pores for each character, or a high-def dust image, shrank to fit on the carpet of another picture.
So I challenged myself to draw something fast, with minimal detail, and randomly chosen in 30 minutes max.

Here’s the result:

Jamie Hynemann has the perfect job.

Cast

The cast section is a special part of Pathwalkers. See it as part of the story. It differs from what cast descriptions usually are like, it not only tells you about the characters, they themselves tell you who they are. A big part of cast is intentionally hidden – they are assembling themselves. They are there, behind the screen, having still not met each other but ready to appear when the time arrives.

Let them tell you about themselves and flow with the story. Even I don’t know where it’s going yet, it excites me most. I’m watching here, beside you, wondering what will happen next.

Comics

What do comics mean to me?

I love comics and cartoons of different genres. Most of all I want to say how seriously I treat this kind of art. I speak only about art as there’s a subtle border somewhere between pure art and pure entertainment. Art can entertain but entertainment isn’t always artistic. I’m facing towards the first one and that’s what I’m speaking about.

What can express a story so freely and brightly as a comic? This is where you can choose your actors and they will play on the stage you make, this is the theatre of your mind. Anything is possible there. Your characters can do incredible things; become anything, die and rise again (probably as zombies or something better). The number of possibilities is endless here; it all depends on your skill. If my skill isn’t good enough for what I’m planning, it’s the only possible problem along the way. But, thankfully, I like challenges like that. -)

Comics are a special tool for me, they can create a world which will tell you how real it is. Sometimes the worlds I try to show trick me in telling me how real they are and when I believe in it the most, I want to share them with you the most.

I want to tell you worlds.

I can say the same about cartoons. Endless possibilities are what define them. And anything can be told, something which makes you wonder about the whole meaning of the universe around you or just something making you smile and want to live.

This is art.

Devious Mazes’ Birthday

Ahoy!

My boat is afloat! These waters are fast and I hold my course towards great adventures.

The 5^th of May 2010 is the official Birthday of Devious Mazes – the project is being gradually developed at the moment.

Both comics – Pathwalkers and MaDreamers are now online. It’s very exciting to begin a story such as Pathwalkers and I assure you, the story will be exciting itself.

Figure MaDreamers out for yourself. -)
