Inception
1.How did you choose your partner? What qualities made them an appealing partner?
I've raised Thresher in my basement since he was a hatchling, and recently released him to the wilds of the UK to unleash havoc and mayhem. Since that didn't go so well we decided to do this comic tourney instead.
2. How much did your characters and story plans dictate this choice, if any?
We've been playing around with the idea of Tabris & Haze being in a relationship for awhile, so this seemed a good opportunity to explore that.
3.How much research was required to craft your conflict with your opponents? If you did any at all.
I read past comics and relied on Threseher for alot of it because he knows the characters much better than I do.
Communication
4. How did you communicate your battle plans, brainstorming, progress with your partner?
Skype and emails
5. Did you feel the communication was good or could be improved? If so, what worked/didn’t work?
Our time zones are so far apart he might as well live on Mars, so that makes meeting up to talk a bit more difficult. Fortunately for me, he likes to stay up to unreasonable hours to talk about this stuff.
6. What mediums or tools did you use to communicate effectively?
Pretty much what I said up there.
Workload
7. Who performed which duties to your comics creation? Plotting, Scripting, Pencils, Inks, Colors, Lettering?
Thresher did the story, thumbs/layouts, lettering and a lot of the backgrounds. I drew the rest and colored.
8. How did you determine the division of labor between you and your partner?
We devised a plan right away to divide things up that went right out the window when we ran out of time.
9. What strengths or weaknesses did you attempt to manifest/cover up in your shared duties?
Thresher is the better story & dialogue maker, and loves doing backgorounds. I like coloring things and drawing people. So it worked out ok.
10. Did you encounter some snags in your process that your partner helped you overcome?
We totally ran out of time to get stuff done, but worked hard to do the best we could in the little time we had left.
Editorial
11. Were there any disagreements that arose between the two creators? Script issues, art issues, final cut decisions?
Nah. We are both pretty agreeable people.
12. How did you resolve any disputes that arose? Who made the final call?
See above
Product
13. Are you satisfied with the fruits of your shared labors?
Well, yes and no. See below.
14. If yes, why? If no, what can you account that to and how can this be improved in the future?
Life happened and we completely ran out of time and it became a panicky race to finish before the deadline. So I know this comic could have been done so much better. We need to schedule our time a bit better.
Tourney
15. Who did you want to fight in this tourney?
Everybody! They are all so good a making comics!
16. Who did you fear to fight?
Everybody! They are all so good a making comics!
17. What was the funniest thing that happened between your partnership during the comics creation?
Well there was that picture I did of Tab honking Haze's boob. That never made it into the comic tho.
18. What was the most rewarding part?
Actually finishing before the deadline and still managing to keep my sanity.
19. What was the most difficult part of your comics creation?
Time management. Because I am slow and need lots of time to do these things.
20. If you could do it all again, would you and what would you do differently?
If we had the time we originally planned, it would have been in full color, fancy backgrounds and I would have used proper perspective!
