Progress Report August
Just checking this post and thought I’d see how I was doing in terms of my actual productivity. Bearing in mind this was actually written on the 3rd of April. That’s 4 months of activity what have I accomplished?
The bad guys - The good guys 3 - 0 websites (kaydo, iliosnare, x) 18 - 0 illustrations 1 - 0 font (iliosnare font 1) 1 - 0 logo (ots) 1 - 0 promotional pdf (iliosnare) 1 - 0 graphic novel script (deliverance)
2 - 1 kaydo will have to wait, iliosnare has got some sketches, and x was brokenkode which is also a running thing but that has been completed.
15 - 10 Originally I decided I was going to draw at least 25 images, and the iliosnare website, before I began sending things out to various magazines and art directors to try and drum up some interest. I’ve done 10 full images, but I guess this part of my things to do list has dropped off really due to the fact that I’ve been a bit engrossed in a few other things.
0 - 1 I have created my first font, iliosnap, a sample of which can be found in this illustration I did.
0 - 1 OTS (Off the Streets) logo was also completed. Whether or not they actually used it I’m really not sure about this.
1 - 0 Hmm seems I didn’t really do this one did I. Might need to start implementing it as much as possible. Need to build the documents for Ilisnare up so that I’ve got all my forms in place and all my stationary as well, build the corporate identity of the collective as it were.
1 - 0 Work has begun again on this book. The name has changed and I’d like to keep it under wraps until I actually get all the legal issues sorted out first, in terms of copyright and trademark. I’ve completed around 15 pages, and while this might not seem much, it’s been a page a day type affair and I’ve tried my best to keep to the schedule. I’m hoping to have the script completed with revisions by the end of the year, including character sketches and designs, to start drawing it properly sometime next year.
So I guess there does seem to be some progress on most fronts. Albeit a bit slow for my liking, the progress I guess has been hindered by the fact that I’ve had to learn how to use wordpress, php. I’ve also learnt Rhino 3D in that time as well, so I guess the 3d element of my work will start coming though sooner rather than later.
