Dear Reader,
Page 10! Celebrating 10 pages, 10 paintings. If this is your first time, here, welcome. If you've been following Goatwater from the beginning, welcome back. Feel free to start at the beginning to re-experience each page. As I mentioned last week, Goatwater is now a weekly webcomic, so you can look forward to a new hand painted page featured here every Tuesday. This week, I share a little more about my process with you. I have also included some preliminary rough sketches from Goatwater, so you can see some of the ways I conceptualize Goatwater and put it all together. Click here to start at the beginning. Have a great week! Email any questions or comments to bassacards(at)yahoo.com.
The Making of Goatwater
Goatwater is the product of poems, literary vignettes, storyboards and written and drawn character sketches. What you view on a weekly basis is the ongoing collaboration between my plans for the story and what I discover the story already is. All these elements come together to make a page, then a series of pages. The creative process is an enigmatic one and though this can make it mystifying and challenging to bear, the experience is ultimately thrilling.
Here are some colored pencil and charcoal sketches of the character, "Horny." :

Here is the hand-painted, "Horny", as he's introduced on page 3:
Below, I've included the original storyboard for Page 3, which features the character of, "Boy". "Horny" isn't even in this storyboard, though he appears in the last frame in the completed painting. This Page 3 storyboard also contains elements that show up on Page 5.
