Since I had nearly no one with whom to have some discussions so I took it online so it was more a form of open communication. I felt sex did not have to be gratuitous but could be an integral part of the story, I felt superhero scenarios allowed expanded areas of development to sexual ideas that would be unworkable in less fantastic genres. I also saw that online porn tended to polarize into plot-based love-dovey slash fiction, or hardcore, plot-what-plot? simplistic abuse scenarios, and wondered why so little material explored the vast gap between the two extremes.<br />Also, I could not but reflect on the nature of my own unusual interests, and I used my stories and artwork to explore, deconstruct and defuse my personal fetishes, and touch upon the larger themes of erotica and genre potential. <br />The problem is that because it all depended on <br />narrative context, when the artwork was reposted <br />as isolated pages the themes and effects I was trying to bring to notice and to create discourse about, were then lost and it just became more of what I originally tried to work against.<br />So yeah, having agendas online is not very productive.ksenninnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6791517099386125781.post-47973265800925224092011-09-21T06:13:36.684-07:002011-09-21T06:13:36.684-07:00The simplified drawing style was indeed intended t...The simplified drawing style was indeed intended to allow for faster drawing and be able to finish comic sequences since in my early days I did far more detailed drawings and the scenes stagnated after a few pages once my interest (ahem) wandered.<br /><br />The sequential style indeed is intended to convey faster and more elaborate action, as well as to provide narrative effects thru the changes in panel size and proportion, something I caught from watching the work of Perez in the 80s. Modern comics really decompress action too much for the sake of big, over-rendered pages, which reasult in slowed and unsatisfying pacing. Also, the sex scenes should not be gratituous but should rather be used as ways to illustrate characterization or create emotional as well as <br />physical tension and thus advance the plot. Even if you take a couple of pages in isolation it should be clear there is a progression going on, not just a checklist of positions being taken care of.ksenninnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6791517099386125781.post-43686845620360762172011-09-18T11:27:28.589-07:002011-09-18T11:27:28.589-07:00Wow, thanks for sharing that .
