Rewritting "F8 El Origen"

Yes, I started to rewrite my book. Hopefully at the end of this year it will be finished.

So "F8 El Origen" will have a newer version, version 2014.

*Original version 2011
*Revised version 2012
Future version 2014 :)

My Silmarillion

When I think about  my work in my first book "El Origen" I can compare it with JRR Tolkien´s famous masterpiece "The Silmarillion" but not because of it being a masterpiece XD "El Origen" is not, but in the sense of how it was made, written.

"El Origen" is as well as "The Silmarillion" the book that explain the origins, it was not easy to write, IT WAS VERY HARD AS HARD AS SILMARILLION WAS TO TOLKIEN,  it might not be easy to read, maybe it has a lot of mistakes, just as Tolkien tought The Silmarillion was, but certainly is the KEY to my future book-serie of F8 :)

IMPOSSIBLE TO PUBLISH: definitely, just like the Silmarillion was when he was alive.

It took me 14 years to write it, The Silmarillion took almost all Tolkien´s life to write it.

New drawing

This time I´m working on the bad guys. This is one of them, ©Benjamín: the character is clearly handmade and mine, but the background is not mine :)

Manual vs digital

I am going through a huge dilema, or a huge transition:

I grew up as a hand drawing artist, using nothing more than school´s pens, pencils, and crayons to make these characters come to life. Now at this time of my life I am facing the challenge to turn all this into digital, and I am not trained in digital arts. I am, so far, only manually trained.

And working this digitally change the spirit of these characters... :(

F8 was a handmade world now it´s facing the change into a digital world... and the road is long very long.

The art of writting about F8

-This is a world I created when I was a kid. Growing up is making the reality to take control over it :(
But I keep going.
Naturally it has changed through the years.

-And I never finish editing, every time I see the text or a drawing I want to edit, and edit...
This is never finished.

-Imperfection is the basic rule. Everything in F8 world and in my work is imperfect :)

-The process of writting is a hek of a hard work, but the final result is the achievment, and that´s what makes me to keep going :)
