Just a little introductionโฆ. Iโm a freelance Comic Book writer, who is on the Autistic Spectrum.
Recently I have created an online Comic Book series called โDasherโ on my website at GoodinMaginations and have been working very hard to create new issues of my series. ย Dasher is about a teenage Superhero who protects the residents of Blackpool from petty criminals. ย I have created a total of 4 issues up to now, which can be downloaded from my website, and Iโm just starting Issue 5. ย When I began my Dasher Comic Series, I was influenced by the idea that children, however old they are, have the potential to be Superheroes because of the amount of energy they have. ย I have already developed my plan for a whole comic series on paper, for future issues yet to be created.
While I have been writing these comics, I worried about how people would react to them, not just because of my unique art style, but also because of my use of Adobe Photoshop. This concern gave me a reason to think about changing my method and art style, but then I realised that as an artist I shouldnโt change my own art style because that is what makes me, me! ย I realised that as a true artist, I respect the art styles used in all the other different comic books, and that my unique style would also earn the respect of others too! ย The lesson I have learnt is that the story is just as important as the art style and you have to be your creative self with no limits. ย It is not up to the reader to decide how you do your art style, or what software you use, that choice is yours as an artist. ย This is what makes you so unique!
One day I would love to be one of the artists at a ComicCon, I am attending the Liverpool ComicCon soon, on Sunday 2nd April, which I am looking forward to, and seeing all the other comic book artists who inspire me.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post here on LinkedIn, and I hope you enjoy checking out my Dasher series on the website. ย
